[edit] Synopsis
Sister Monica has visited the Parochial House, as she sits calmly, Dougal asks her if she was a nun. At that point, Ted enters, saying they would go to visit the Holy Stone of Clonrichert. After some confusion between where Clonrichert is and Dougal's comb, Sister Monica agrees and says she will go to freshen up. Dougal says she'll "impress the lads" and is confused when Ted says "A woman's touch". When Sister Monica returns, Dougal confuses her by saying "Ted says you were touching him."
Meanwhile, in Jack's room, he is sitting motionless in his chair, with many bottles of alcohol and bleach such as Toilet Duck and floor polish and appears dead, but Dougal can only pass him off as "very drunk" and "I haven't seen him this bad since he disappeared with Sister Imelda" (who is, according to Ted, "the Blue Nun"), and Dougal holds up an empty bottle of floor polish, and Ted explains to Jack what "the Windolene did to you" and Sister Monica enters. She checks his pulse and says that he has died. Sister Monica tells Dougal to do "the last rites" and says a long speech saying "I don't know if I should be looking up down here or up there, and you're up there with our Lord and Stalin and Bob Marley and my parents". He then says (what he thinks is) Latin words.
At the funeral, Mrs Doyle pesters an elderly priest to have a sandwich, until he agrees and Ted tells her that someone else would like one. Mrs Doyle continues to annoy him. At that point, Father Fay and another priest (who is in hysterics) and shakes his fist at the Lord, saying "You bastard!" and then falls to his knees, exclaiming "Imagine, Ted! A Polish Pope! It should've been Jack!" and Father Fay goes mental, throwing books off the bookshelf.
Dougal, later, then fools around, acting like Jack saying "Feck off" until Ted catches him. Mrs Doyle says there is a woman there to see him.
