Summary Because her brother-in-law had just been killed in a traffic accident - the driver of the offending car who failed to yield - Crystal Farao voluntarily left the Centre and rehab to deal with this family tragedy. This news hits home with all the others, not only because of sympathy for Crystal and her family, but because all of them have failed to yield countless times in their lives. Out of respect for Crystal, there was no graduation ceremony, leaving five participants left at the Centre. The five are first taught how to make a 180 degree reverse skid turn. They require this skill for the first challenge, which has them doing this maneuver within a narrow course. Although each of the five could do it in practice, they show that skill retention can be short. The second challenge has the participants driving on two raised and angled narrow concrete platforms set in a parallel winding pattern. They are required to drive without falling off the platforms. This challenge is to test if the drivers know where their wheels are. Most think this challenge looks easy until they start driving. The participants are then given a lesson on towing a trailer. The third challenge takes that skill one step further: they will be towing a trailer, which is towing another trailer. In any manner they deem appropriate, they are required to park the vehicle and the two trailers in allotted spots, which requires some reversing. This challenge tests not only the skill of trailer towing, but also in puzzle solving, as reversing two trailers can be dangerous and thus it is more prudent to unhitch the last trailer and manually put it in place. One participant has another method of solving the puzzle, one that catches everyone by surprise. An extra challenge is thrown in courtesy of 'Mike Butt (II)', who shows everyone one of his favorite pastimes which he calls shopping cart hockey. This challenge requires hand/eye coordination and vehicle control. For this challenge, Andrew relinquishes hosting duties. At the panel deliberation, the experts have a short list of two: who they feel is the most skilled driver and who they feel is the safest driver. Coincidentally, these two are the only two who believe they should graduate. The panel's decision surprises both participants.
