After receiving a shallow gift she recognizes belongs to Vince's wife, she attempts to return it, only to witness him murder an informant.

After they are discovered by the Reverend Mother, she initially considers kicking Deloris out, but instead orders her to join the struggling choir.

Convinced by Deloris (who cleverly credits Reverend Mother with the idea), he allows the nuns to clean the church and help revitalize the neighborhood.
