Would You Believe This, Darlings????? Naughty Nuns On 'Criminal Intent'!!!!!

Darlings, I am telling you, the episode "Acts Of Contrition" (what a title!!) was stunning. Here, I just wanted a quiet evening in with Monsieur, a nice relaxing dose of "L and O," and what do I get--a murder mystery, set in a church and convent!!!! I was wide awake at that point, especially, as I so clearly recognized, the producers, to cut back on costs, used as location exteriors, various sights around the Cloisters!!!!
You can't fool me, loves!!!!!

Poor Amy Wright! From an up and coming ingenue to bit parts. If you blinked, you did not see her, because early on she is murdered by someone springing out of the confessional, and knocking her against a pillar, spilling a pool of blood. Bye, Bye, Sister Dorothy!!!!

For many years, she had been mentoring Sister Olivia, played by Susan Misner, as though butter would not melt in this sister's mouth!!!! But some Sister she is, sisters!!!!!!!! As Goren and Eames delve into things, we learn that before she become a nun, Sister Olivia was some big ghetto crack ho' named...Angie Di Marco!!!!!
That has got to be the best moniker since "Grease's" Cha Cha Gregorio, who, all my girls know, was voted the Best Dancer at St. Bernadette's!!!!! Sister/Angie was no better than the girls she is tending to, humanitartian style, like a White Sister Peg!!! But, honey, she ain't no Sister Peg!!!!

Seventeen years before, this rotten, racist tramp witnessed the gang beating of a Black man, whom she set up with two guys, one of whom she wanted to like her. She not only witnessed the beating, which left him a vegetable, she kicked him, and used the "N" word!!!! Of course, she runs off, and somehow ends up in an upstate convent, where she is turned around, and mentored by Sister Dorothy. But once she gets murdered, Olivia knows the past always closes in on one, and not only does she repent (though crocodile tears, I thought--too little too late; has this nun even seen "The Song Of Bernadette?"), if the beaten guy dies, she will be charged with murder!!!!! Too bad this was not a two parter--a nun on the stand, with a lurid past, taking the rap--this goes WAY BEYOND "The Trouble With Angels!!!!"

I am telling you, this was grittier than "The Sound Of Music," with a smaller body count than "Dialogue Of The Carmelites!" And then, there is always Goren and Eames; love Kathryn Earbe's no nonsense, which cut through all the Catholic bullshit she saw, having been raised on it. And, of course, Vincent D'Onofrio's Goren, the admittedly lapsed altar boy, whose suit size changes every week, and isn't that fun to watch!!!!!!!

Girls, the next time it is on, you have GOT to see "Acts Of Contrition." Believe me, dolls, you will not heartily sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
