The annoyingly quiet Father Paul Stone (Michael Redmond) is staying at the Craggy Island parish, and there's no sign that he's ever going to leave. Ted (Dermot Morgan) and Dougal (Ardal O'Hanlon) are going nuts from trying to communicate with Stone, so they unsuccessfully try a number of schemes to get him packing. Shortly after Ted asks God for help, a lightning bolt streaks from the sky and renders Stone comatose. Feeling guilty, especially after meeting with Stone's family, Ted makes bargains with God, suggesting that Stone might stay in Craggy Island for as long as he likes, as long as he's restored to his usual "wall with a mustache" self. After Stone has a miraculous recovery, it looks like the Fathers will be spending lots of quality time with their visitor. ~ Tim DiGravina, All Movie Guide

Try as he might, Ted (Dermot Morgan) simply can't shake off the advances of romance novelist Polly Clarke (Gemma Craven), who's visiting Craggy Island on a book tour. Finding it impossible to resist temptations that clearly go against his most basic priestly vows, Ted makes a charming fool of himself and impresses Clarke in the process. In the meantime, a virtual fan club of nuns praises Ted's sermons, forcing him to juggle their enthusiasm with an invitation for drinks with Clarke. Rushing hastily through a sermon, Ted agitates the nuns, and makes his way somewhat pathetically to Clarke's housewarming party, only to find that he's not the sole person to have been invited. Ted is further frustrated when Clarke tells him of her plans to become a nun. ~ Tim DiGravina, All Movie Guide
