Forgive Me, FatherConfession booth buzzes as the new priest hears a forbidden sin

The story

Straight from the quiet parish: the new priest preaches a lovely sermon about resisting temptation, and everyone shakes his hand on the way out. Everyone except Mika, who lingers. She tells him his words were inspiring, singling out the lines on temptation, and a beat later she kneels behind the screen. Forgive me, Father, she begins, then confesses to impure thoughts about her new priest. He asks her to stop. Her reply lands a little softer than a refusal, and the church goes very quiet. Nobody in the pews has any idea what is about to happen between the altar and the confessional.

The twist

Episode 2 returns to the booth with Mika asking at what distance temptation becomes a sin. He objects that such talk is improper. She offers to describe what she imagined, and the thing she mentions first is his hands. One last chance to say no is offered. It goes unused.

Developing story

His vows, his flock and his reputation are all on the line, and the congregation is still sitting in the pews. The paid episodes decide how long the collection plate stays quiet.
