Easy as Pie!

Summary With Jordan Paddon being named the most recent graduate, there are four nominees left at the Drivers' Rehabilitation Centre in the running as Canada's Worst Driver. Three of the four begin to use techniques either self created or taught by the instructors to cope and/or deal with the challenges ahead of them, while the fourth may come to a realization that his/her issue is a potentially dangerous one especially when caught in emergency situations. The first challenge is the annual cross, where the nominees are required to back a vehicle into the four spokes of an enclosed cross. They will be using a full length bus to show them that the techniques are still the same regardless of the size of the vehicle. The second challenge is the annual forward 180 degree spin out in an enclosed space, the maneuver which will be taught to them by Philippe. Although the task is not one they will ever need to do in public roads, it will give them driving skills and further knowledge about the physics of what vehicles actually do. The third and final challenge is the annual high speed slalom which needs to be driven at 80 kph. The challenge is not so much to accomplish the slalom without hitting the markers, which should be an easy task, but knowing their driving limits in whether they will move the markers closer on another attempt and if so by how much. Through it all, Tim continues to take the four out on public drives, with both Renee and Jillian given the additional challenges of doing solo drives in what causes them stress, for Renee on the highway and for Jillian most specifically in any drive with which she is unfamiliar. By the end, only one nominee feels ready to graduate. The question becomes if the panel feels that person is ready to graduate or if they should take all four into the final.

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.
