Crash. Bang. Boom.

Summary With, for the second week in a row, no one having graduated after the latest panel deliberation, six nominees still remain at the Centre. There is only one official challenge this week, the swerve and avoid challenge, the maneuver which is taught to the nominees by Philippe. The maneuver is to be used to avoid hitting something when there is insufficient room to brake before hitting the object. The most difficult aspect of the maneuver may be the natural instinct to brake, which in this case will only lock the vehicle's movement in the direction it is already traveling. The other item which the panel will use to evaluate is the public drives on which Tim takes the nominees individually, he focusing on the aspects which he feels will help each nominee in becoming a more competent driver. Also this week is the annual distracted driving demonstration, which has become more important as cell phone use behind the wheel now accounts for one-quarter of all traffic accidents and as five of the six remaining nominees all routinely and unabashedly use their cell phone behind the wheel. Some of the nominees already know that they being distracted behind the wheel is an issue, and what they say coming out of the demonstration may also impact if they will be considered for graduation. In the deliberation, Darris once again is the question mark, with the experts deliberating on whether he truly has changed, whether they can do anything more for him at the Centre and whether he will be a public safety hazard once outside the proverbial walls of the Centre and the eyes of the panel. In the deliberation, Darris' mother, Jen, also becomes a question mark in if she is true to her word of no longer enabling Darris' behavior by paying all his vehicle related bills, including what would be his $7,000 annual vehicle insurance.

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.
