 The
investigation he leads for Minx Lockridge brings Michael Donnelly to
re-cross the road of Father Merlin. Even if they share the same
religious faith, they both not appreciate each other and had in the past
several disagreements. Today, Father Merlin faces Michael who comes to
question him about another nun of the convent and, firmly, he orders him
to stop asking questions on Sister Angelique, and to leave.
The
investigation and the words of the other nuns allow to know some of
Father Merlin's secrets. With the help of Sister Angelique who entrusts
that he knows well more that he says so, Father Merlin participates in
placing children abandoned by their biological parents to confide them
to foster parents. This is the way Minx Lockridge's biological daughter
was adopted at first by Norma Flannery. Moreover, by searching his
office, Michael finds the address of his partner, Sister Angelique.
Up
against a wall, while Michael approaches the truth, Father Merlin, in
the premises of Longview sanatorium, gives all the information onto what
happened to Minx's child.
Although
afterward this hidden child becomes a key character of the city, it will
never be mentioned the name of this religious man anymore.
