At the end, Alex says something like "gotta go, same two players tomorrow, bye!" and that's it. Does anyone know whether the other player really was brought back, and why? They hadn't yet brought in the second chance policy.

(I know there has to be a link to this episode somewhere under "Video and Audio Clips" but I can't find it.)

Watch it right here, and see. Yes, in the interrupted game, both players returned.

Thank you for the link and partial answer; I was expecting no replies. Your link may have been where I saw it to wonder about in the first place. Do you happen to know why they would bring her back? There didn't seem to be anything unusual about the game at all, unless you count either her giving a partial answer (which happened pretty often) or time running out (almost every show, if I remember rightly), neither of which would have done it.

If the bell rang to signify time running out, it was declared "an interruptted game". As a result, both players would come back. The rule was, you had to lose a full game to exit the premises.

Flawed, but fair. This format didn't last long, maybe a year at best?

Strange! Thanks. Though I guess it's not really stranger than their later on requiring you either to win the car or to lose a second game.
