At church, Gabrielle quietly plays with a baby which causes Carlos to ask her if she has reconsidered having a baby. Gabrielle reminds him that she has just suffered a miscarriage and would like to postpone her pregnancy plans for a while until she has made a final decision. As they argue, Father Crowley announces the return of Sister Mary Bernard who has arrived back in the United States after being gone for two months, to Gabrielle's surprise. Later Carlos tells Sister Mary that Gabrielle will not reconsider her position on a baby. Sister Mary offers to help Carlos by giving him a packet on Catholic annulment. Carlos gives the brochure to Gabrielle who believes that she cannot be "blackmailed into having a baby". Gabrielle visits Father Crowley in the church and asks if Sister Mary can be transferred. Father Crowley asks Gaby why which leads Gabrielle to complicate matters by saying that Carlos and Sister Mary are having an affair and that in his sleep he murmurs her name. Father Crowley asks if she has serious reasons to think they're having sex together. Thinking a little, she says yes. Father Crowley looks mortified and leaves the confessional. Gabrielle stays in the confessional and confesses to another priest that she lied. The next day, Carlos tells her that Sister Mary is being transferred to Fairbanks, Alaska and she doesn't know the reason. Gabrielle returns to the church to gloat and say goodbye. As Gabrielle leaves, Sister Mary throws a scrub brush at her which causes a fight. Gabrielle punches Sister Mary and Sister Mary grabs her by the hair. Sister Mary is pushed into candles and her arm catches fire. Gabrielle quickly extinguishes the fire and Sister Mary bites her on the arm. They tumble on the floor and a priest breaks up the fight. School children and Sister Greta watch the fight from a distance. When she arrives home, Carlos yells at Gabrielle about what she has done. The baby discussion then reignites and Gabrielle tells Carlos that she is not "a uterus in high heels". Carlos accepts Gabrielle's offer to not divorce and Gabrielle tells Carlos she has accepted his offer and wants to have a baby with him.
