She has walked off the set of her movie and in her escape, has a near fatal drowning caused by and saved by Sister Bertrille. While swimming away, Sabrina sees Sister Bertrille flying which caused her to faint and nearly drown. However, while she is recuperating at the convent, Sabrina states that she had a religious vision, that being the flying sister. The sisters don't correct her thought. However this vision causes Sabrina to rethink her life and she decides to become a nun. Meanwhile, Sabrina's producer, Harold Harmon, plans on suing her for breach of contract and has to serve her papers. The sisters are suspicious of every stranger who stops by the convent, most of whom are process servers. However one claiming to be Father Duffy, an old friend of the Reverend Mother's, they also suspect to be a process server masquerading as a priest. In the Reverend Mother's absence, the sisters treat Father Duffy as such a priest in disguise. Unfortunately for the sisters, he is really the Reverend Mother's old friend Father Duffy. Back to Sabrina, the Reverend Mother convinces her that she should return to her life as a movie actress by showing her that she did not have a vision, and that Sister Bertrille really can fly.
