Paola, full of Latin flair with a penchant to do the bossa nova, is a bit at odds with the staunch Reverend Mother's style, but Paola is admittedly an efficient secretary with a kind heart. The Reverend Mother is just about to let Paola go when Paola shows up at the convent with a 6-month old child named Anita. Paola states that she is looking after Anita for a single mother friend (her husband passed away) who is away in the States looking for a job. Paola was hoping to stay at the convent while she looks after the child. The sisters think Anita is actually Paola's child, especially since the story is much like a movie Sister Sixto saw recently on television. As such, the Reverend Mother allows Paola and Anita to take refuge at the convent, and lets Paola keep her job. However through Carlos, Sister Bertrille learns that Paola was once married to Lorenzo Guzman, from whom she got an annulment due to his gambling ways. Lorenzo is now making a steady living as a house painter. Sister Bertrille tracks down Lorenzo on the pretense of painting the chapel, but she mentions Paola and Anita to Lorenzo. Lorenzo himself thinks Anita is his and Paola's child and goes to the convent to reclaim his family. As Lorenzo proposes, the sisters find out that Paola was telling the truth about Anita's mother. This reality jeopardizes Lorenzo and Paola's future as Paola doesn't know if Lorenzo wants her for her or just to do his duty. But Sister Bertrille convinces them with a little display of flight, which they think a miracle associated with the sister's efforts to get them together. After the story of Lorenzo and Paola heads toward "happily ever after", Paola admits to Berty aka Sister Bertrille that Anita really is her and Lorenzo's child. Paola really needed to know that Lorenzo wanted her without any ulterior motives, and now will tell him the truth. Written by Huggo See less
