Episode #12.5

Summary With Diana Hutchings being named the latest graduate of the season - something about which Andrew admits he had to eat crow as initially believing she too flaky ever to graduate - five nominees remain at the Centre. Before embarking on the two challenges for the week, the five partake in a demonstration meant to show the dangers of speeding. The demonstration has each of the nominees driving the same course - which has a seen swerve and avoid obstacle - at 50kph, then 60kph then 70kph, which none of the five should be able to do without hitting the obstacle or driving off the course at the "speeding" 70kph. The panel members hope the demonstration hits home especially with Tyler and Krystal as the two admitted speeders. Andrew takes Krystal on a special drive beforehand to show her how to maintain driving speed, as her habit is to floor the gas pedal from the get go, get to the desired speed before she takes her foot off the floor to hit the brake pedal. And Tim takes Daniella out for a drive on the highway, which is her greatest driving fear. Both the highway drive and the swerve and avoid show Andrew and the panel something about Daniella which may make her the latest to go on the "never to graduate" list unless she can overcome that issue. The two actual challenges are both annual challenges. The first is the longest straightaway reverse in the world - 1km - which gets progressively wider as the course progresses. Each section of the course is designed to test different skills, the tight section most specifically in the use of side mirrors, while the wider section is to look where they want to go, which is far off into the distance. The second is the J-turn within an enclosed area, which each of the nominees is taught how to do by Philippe beforehand. The nominees in general surprise in how quickly they learn the skill, however that knowledge may or may not translate into success in the actual challenge. At the end of the week, one of the nominees comes to a revelatory moment which may affect his/her remaining time at the Centre. The panel, in their deliberation, only have one person they are thinking of graduating this week. The question then becomes if that person feels ready to leave.

Among the few in the last audience was Cartouche, a veteran, who had become an actor when his wounds no longer allowed him to follow Napoleon. Through Cartouche's efforts Fifi is employed at the Imperial theater in Parts. He takes her to his lodging, determined to protect her. Fifi fails to understand how much Cartouche is doing for her, and when he gives her money to buy clothes she purchases a toy dog sailed Toto. The veteran buys a lottery ticket and gives it to Fifi. The ticket bears the winning number and Fifi finds herself in possession of a fortune. Cartouche decides Fifi must be educated. He applies to his old general, who suggests that Fifi be sent to the home of Louis Bourcet, an attorney who lives alone with his mother. Instead of putting her money in the bank Fifi hides it and startles the Bourcet family by her extravagance. They decide she has even more money than they thought and Louis begins to see in the wealthy Fifi a very acceptable wife. He makes love to the girl, and she accepts his proffer. Then she sets about to make him break the engagement by squandering her money, realizing she is in love with Cartouche. Accordingly she buys the most impossible things, scandalizing the Bourcet family into a complete renunciation by giving the remainder of her wealth to a charitable benefit for old soldiers. Ejected from the house by the angry Mme. Bourcet, Fifi returns to the Imperial, where she demands more money for her services because she has been publicly thanked by the General for her donation to charity. She tells Cartouche she loves him, but the old soldier refuses. to permit her to "throw herself away" upon him until Fifi gets an inspiration of her own.
