The sister novices at Convent San Tanco are preparing for their upcoming rededication ceremony. Reverend Mother Placido suggests they deliberate to make certain of their decision. She herself is preparing to travel to Chicago for the order's hemispheric council and will take a companion. The sisters work hard to make a good impression on the reverend mother in hopes of going with her. She tells Sister Bertrille that she can't be the one to go with her, fearful of what would happen to The Flying Nun in "The Windy City". Sister Bertrille feels her flying is holding her back and must stop before the mother general (Spring Byington in her final film performance) visits. She asks Carlos to take her to his engineer friend George Bragan (C. Lindsay Workman) to find a way to not fly under the rouse of talking about an aircraft. The engineer says the problem can be solved by adding five pounds, and Sister Bertrille begins overeating to gain weight. As she struggles to gain enough she is desperate to hide her ability from the mother general.
