Soaked and Wet

Summary With no one graduating following the most recent panel deliberation, there are five nominees remaining in the running as Canada's Worst Driver. Their first challenge is the annual parking lot challenge, which this year has the added issue of the nominees needing to back into any of the parking spots available in one attempt (i.e. not backing in and out and in again). Although they are given as many tries as they want, a passing grade is only issued if they can do it in two tries. The second challenge is the annual water tank challenge which this year includes a high speed section, a precision driving section, a raised knowing where your wheels are section, a congested parking lot section and a concrete barriered confined section out of which they must reverse. One nominee demonstrates a flaunting or non-understanding the of the rationale for the challenge in the process of losing a lot of water regardless. The third and final challenge is the annual reverse 180 degree flick in a confined space challenge, the nominees who are given lessons in the maneuver by Philippe. Although some do not understand the need to do such a maneuver in real life, they are taught such to understand the physics behind what their car does. Beyond these three challenges, the panel also believes that two of the nominees need to address their primary fears truly to be ready to graduate. One is Jillian, who is afraid to drive by herself, fearing not knowing what to do if something happens, even something as minor as getting lost. She is given a short, programmed GPS route to drive in the small town next to the Centre. The other is Renee, who fears driving on the highway at the posted speed. As such, Tim offers to take her on a drive to get on and off the highway as well as to change lanes once on the highway. Both Jillian and Renee are given the choice if they want to confront these phobias by doing these drives. In the panel deliberation, a comment by one of the two shortlisted nominees determines who of those two will be named the next graduate.

In the Diplomatic Service

In the Diplomatic Service

Dick Stansbury chooses a life of travel and pleasure rather than a more useful career. He returns from three years of foreign travel. His uncle, Major Blaine, interests him in a bold breach of ethics made by one of the foreign diplomats, Doctor Montell, but as yet nothing has been proved against the doctor, as he knows all the men in the Secret Service in Washington. Dick met him abroad, and Major Blaine persuades him to undertake the task of Doctor Montell's unmasking. Beverly Ryerson has a friend, an eccentric young authoress, Helen Wardlow, who is disgusted because, she says, there is no more originality in life. Beverly assures her that such is not the case. Dick, Beverly, Doctor Montell, Helen, Mrs. Ryerson, Beverly's step-mother, and her nephew, Lyna Hardi, who is loaning her money to pay her bridge debts, and who in return demands that she aid his cause with Beverly, are all at the Diplomats' Ball. Dick and Dr. Montell interest the girls and they induce Mrs. Ryerson to invite the men to a party at her country-house. Dick seizes the opportunity to ensnare the doctor in a plot that will prove his deceptions against the government. Dick has invented a "machine gun," supposed to fire a bomb that will burst anywhere within several hundred feet of an airship, asphyxiating the pilot and passengers with poisonous gas. He brings the model of the gun with him to the house-party, and takes care to talk about his invention where Montell can overhear him. He is soon approached by Montell with a proposition to deceive his own government, and sell the model to a foreign nation. Dick asks for time to consider the offer. Montell is determined to have the invention at once, and Hardi attempts to steal it for him, but is prevented by a Secret Service man. His reason for this move is that in trying to discredit big rival he has told Beverly that Dick is a traitor to his country. He has arranged for Beverly to overhear Dr. Montell and Dick talking about the invention. Though Dick has so far refused to sell, she fears he may succumb to the doctor's inducements, and to save him Beverly surreptitiously takes the model to her own room, though it is soon returned to Dick by one of his detectives. Montell and two accomplices then try to steal the model. Dick has been warned of their approach. He extends a wire from one of the house-lights to the model, and gets the janitor to operate a magneto at a signal. When the three malefactors step on a wet rug with the machine, they are held fast by the sudden shock of the electricity and caught by Dick. The ignominious recall of Dr. Montell by his own country is inevitable. Dick spares Hardi, since he has plotted against him only as a rival, not against him as a representative of the foreign government. In order to clear Beverly's mind of any possible doubt as to his loyalty to the nation, Dick next day asks her to accompany him to a junk dealer, to whom he offers his "wonderful invention." The junk-dealer finally consents to give him twenty-five cents for it. Out of sentiment, however, Beverly buys it back for $25. A happy denouement follows, and Helen, having found ample material for a plot, types busily away on her new story.
