Episode #12.6

Summary As the panel, after their latest deliberation, decided to grant Mike's wish to remain at the Centre a little while longer and thus graduated no one this past week, five nominees remain at the Centre. Before embarking on their two challenges for the week, the five partake in a demonstration where they will drive a straight course at predetermined differing speeds while their speedometer is out of their eyesight to see if they know how to gauge how fast they are driving. In general, all five have some sort of issue regarding the speed at which they normally drive, with Daniella, Lou and Mike driving under the posted speed to varying degrees, and Krystal and Tyler driving far in excess of the posted speed. The first challenge is backing a trailer from a ninety degree position into a garage, the mechanics of which are taught to the nominees by Tim. This challenge is only done on Tyler's request as he owns a trailer which he has not driven in a year because of not knowing the techniques. The second challenge is the annual icy corner challenge, the mechanics of which are taught to the nominees by Philippe. Andrew believes this challenge is both the most difficult of the annual challenges and one of the most important for all Canadian drivers to do correctly, and as such hopes even more than usual that the nominees succeed. At this week's panel deliberation, they will have to decide if it is indeed Mike's week to graduate or if they will once again honor his request to remain at the Centre, which he wants to do until the bitter end and to return in future years. During the week, Krystal has what can only be described as a major hissy-fit, she backing her attitude on generational differences, with she being a self-professed millennial in all that the term entails. Andrew learns some information about Tyler which may have changed the way he was taught at the Centre up to this point in time. And Daniella takes the initiative for some self-learning, which impresses especially Tim.

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.
