Episode 27: A Reboot, But Old Wounds

In this chapter, Kelly takes the first steps toward redemption by confessing her greatest sin to Father McCaffrey: her negligence in securing recreational drugs, which almost cost her niece her life. Wracked with guilt and estranged from her family, Kelly acknowledges the pain she caused, while McCaffrey encourages her to focus on actions that prove her change.

Later, in a tense conversation with Josh, Kelly admits her crime and expresses her gratitude for his efforts in saving Christina. While Josh forgives her, he makes it clear that trust is harder to rebuild, drawing a firm boundary while reaffirming his dedication to their daughter.

As Kelly prepares for her transfer to Rome under the Vatican’s watchful eye, she begins the long process of atoning for her mistakes, driven by the hope of one day earning back the trust she lost. This chapter weaves together themes of accountability, forgiveness, and the difficult journey toward redemption
