Tonight’s Recap Tuesday, 28 October 2025
The October 28, 2025, episode of Wheel of Fortune delivered a spooky and fun Halloween week installment filled with movie quotes, themed puzzles, and plenty of suspense. Stephen James from Burbank, California, stood out early on, showing his quick reflexes and cool composure as he faced off against Lynn Silverman of Jensen Beach, Florida, and Sean O’Connor of Colleyville, Texas. The first toss-up set the tone when Stephen solved the $1,000 Toss-Up: MOVIE MONSTERS, followed by another quick win with the $2,000 Toss-Up: GO WITH THE FLOW. The night’s featured trip was to New Orleans, including a stay at the Virgin Hotel and a visit to a Nightmare Haunted House, perfectly fitting for the Halloween season.
In Round 1, with the category Most Likely To, Stephen banked a solid start by solving WIN THE COSTUME CONTEST, earning $4,000 and keeping his streak alive despite some Bankrupt setbacks across the board. The following Prevagen Mystery Round under the Movie Quote category brought in one of the night’s most memorable moments. Drawing inspiration from “The Silence of the Lambs,” the puzzle I’M HAVING AN OLD FRIEND FOR DINNER earned Stephen another minimum house win. His confident gameplay and quick thinking began to distance him from his competitors as the game moved forward.
The Prize Puzzle Round offered an international twist, with the category People. After a few turns and a string of well-placed consonants, Stephen correctly solved OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTH, winning a scenic trip to Nova Scotia at the Roseway River Cottages, complete with lobster fishing and a pumpkin festival visit. Meanwhile, Sean held onto his Wild Card and managed some decent rounds, while Lynn struggled with repeated misfires and a couple of unlucky spins.
The Triple Toss-Ups all shared the Place category, with Stephen and Sean splitting the three-puzzle series. Stephen solved FRONT YARD and GRAVEYARD, while Sean claimed BACKYARD, a fitting mix for the Halloween vibe. In the final spin, with the Phrase category in play, Sean came through with TEXT ME WHEN YOU GET THERE, earning $6,600 and finishing with $8,600 total. It was a strong showing, but Stephen’s lead proved unbeatable heading into the bonus round.
In the Bonus Round, Stephen selected the What Are You Doing? category. The final puzzle began as _ _ _ I N G _ PIE, and with the help of his chosen letters — P, H, I, and G — he quickly identified BAKING A PIE. His solve earned him a brand-new 2026 Cadillac CT4 Premium Luxury valued at $45,070, bringing his total winnings to $62,173 in cash and prizes. The episode wrapped up on a festive and high-spirited note, celebrating Stephen James as the night’s Halloween week champion.
