The Final Three

Summary With Descy McMurray being named the most recent graduate, the three nominees in the finale to be Canada's Worst Driver Season 14 are Brittany Dube, Alexis Pratola and Brandon Wilkins. They all reached this point in the unprecedented request to be in the finale (Descy who had no desire to be), with Brittany and Brandon making the further unprecedented declaration that they will cut up their license and either start from scratch or never drive again if named Canada's Worst Driver, something to which Alexis also ultimately agrees for herself perhaps in her belief that she will not get the title. Brittany arguably has more to lose in this declaration as driving is one important access point she has to her nominator sister Mia's children. The first challenge of the week is the three in a vehicle challenge, where, driving a stretch limousine with the two other nominees in the front passenger seat, each nominee will have ten attempts to complete a forward and reverse slalom starting and ending driving through a "needle" in under fifty seconds without hitting anything to be considered a pass. The second challenge is the annual finale mega challenge where the nominees drive through a course testing all that they have learned while in rehab. This year's course includes an "eye of the slalom" section, a forward precision steering section, a concrete trap section, a reverse precision steering section, a one hundred eighty degree handbrake turn section, and two more needles leading into an icy corner section. The final challenge is the public drive on a preset route through the streets and on the highways in and around Hamilton, with Andrew, their passenger, giving them ample verbal direction on when their next turn will be. In the expert panel deliberation, the best of the three and who will be named Canada's Worst Driver Season 14 are clear. The biggest question becomes what to do with the person in the middle, who in most years would have been named Canada's Worst Driver and who the panelists largely agree will still be a menace on the road.

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.
