This puzzle contains a word suggested by patron Cathy Bowen. Support me on Patreon at the Super Fan level ($5/month) and solve the monthly Patron Puzzle for a chance to suggest a seed word for a future puzzle, or at the Ultra Fan level ($20/month) to suggest one seed word every month!

In this puzzle, you must divide the grid into pentominoes (regions containing five cells each), and write a letter in each cell. The rows, reading from left to right, will contain the words hinted at by the Across clues. The letters in the pentominoes, in reading order (left to right starting with the top row), will form the words hinted at by the Pentominoes clues; these clues are presented in no particular order. (In the example, the rows spell PLANT, SHARE, and BITES, and the pentominoes spell the words PLANS, TREES, and HABIT.) Use the ACROSS answers to determine where the pentominoes are.

ACROSS (two answers per row):
1 1959-1965 TV series starring Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates / Storage container
2 Dah’s counterpart / Challenge
3 Large body of water / Upright part between stair treads
4 Casing for a knife blade / Dog-biting insect
5 Platter carried by a waiter / Read carefully

7 Fashion designer Giorgio / Closed circuit
8 Spiky desert plant / At any time
9 One who belongs to a club / Hand over ____
