Season 1, Episode 9
5/10
The Nectar of San Tanco
3 July 2018
With donations dwindling, Sister Bertrille suggests the convent enter a business venture to raise money. She wants to sell sea grape juice- "The Nectar of San Tanco"- and asks Carlos to help them get started in exchange for distribution rights. A business associate, Luis Fiero (Steve Peck), is interested and talks Carlos into going into the venture with him. When the nuns produce the first batch, Carlos wants to call off the deal when he learns it is only grape juice. They struggle to sell the drink and owe their creditors. Sister Bertrille asks Carlos to transport boxes of the juice. It meanwhile has fermented turning into wine and he is arrested for smuggling. The convent is now suspected of running a smuggling ring.

The episode starts promising before stumbling somewhat and trying to pick interest back up. The episodes to this point have generally struggled to maintain flow. More often than not Sally Field seems uncomfortable and forcing herself to be into the Sister Bertrille character, and that's exactly what was happening behind the scenes.
