[Warning: The following post contains Major spoilers for the Tuesday, December 9, episode of Jeopardy!] The December 9 episode of Jeopardy! was a close game that came down to the final question. Will Riley returned for his second game after defeating Ron Lalonde on Monday. Did he defend his title and win? Riley, an engineer, went into game two with a total of $16,801. He faced off against Jenna Lafleur, from Washington D.C., and Steve Riddell, from Euless, Texas, on Tuesday. Although the first half of the round was a back-and-forth between Riley and Riddell, a business manager, Riley came out on top after the first 15 clues. However, Lafleur, a freelancer, found the Daily Double on clue 18. She made it a true Daily Double with a $2,400 bid.
