All The Fun Of An Exorcism

Precinct. Katrina tells a cop that she'd never hurt anyone. The cop's not buying it. Katrina says she thought that God was guiding her, but that she was wrong. "You on any meds?" the cop asks. Ask her if she's lactose-intolerant.

Jaye waits on a bench. Father Scoffield shows up. Jaye's all, "Oh, my God! They called you? I thought for sure you left town already." Jaye says she's not pressing charges. Oh, how nice of her: "She was just confused." And she did tell her to do it. She tells Father Scoffield that he was right about exorcisms. Father Scoffield says, "I had a child I didn't know about." They just let Katrina go, and she walks into the lobby here as Jaye -- and pretty much anyone watching this episode -- asks, "Come again?" Katrina says they're letting her go. She apologizes to Father Scoffield for not listening to him. "It's a girl," says Father Scoffield. "He has a kid he didn't know about," says Jaye. "How?" asks Katrina. "In the usual way," Father Scoffield answers. "I wasn't always a priest." He says he had no idea, because the woman he was with was on The Pill. "She must have been looking for me all this time." He says they pulled him over for a broken taillight and ran his name: "I'm a deadbeat dad." Katrina tells Jaye, "Broken taillight?"

Then suddenly there's the woman, named Marta. She apologizes for filing the complaint, but says she couldn't find him: "I guess I was looking in the wrong place." Then there's the daughter, who's, like, seven. "Joe, this is Sadie," says Marta. Crazy cheesy violins kick in and we're watching a different show entirely. And then, ensuring that Sadie will have a fucked-up adolescence that will cause her to sleep with hundreds of guys and maybe become a successful standup comic, Father Scoffield crouches down (in slow motion!) and says, "Hi, Sadie. I'm Father...I'm your father." Sadie looks up at her mom, who nods that this is true, and everyone's happy except for anybody in the real world who knows this shit needs a counselor pronto. Sadie smiles, as if this is only the third guy who has said this to her. Jaye whispers, "Bring her back to him. Wow!" Now, the penguin only added those last three words later in the episode. Whatever. Katrina cries and calls this a miracle. Or perhaps, a by-product of casual sex. Ah, the wonders of failed contraceptives told through the eyes of a half-realized television show. God truly works in mysterious ways.
