Episode #109 "Devil With a Plaid Skirt"

  Sean's in confession telling the priest that he needs an ally to help him defeat Sister Helen, the nun who's the school principal. In the course of the conversation, it's revealed that the priest is Sean's old friend Tim, now Father Tim, who was as wild as Sean back in high school. Lily's telling Claudia that she's never going to school again when Sean walks in with Tim. Claudia can't believe he's a priest now. Sean begins telling Tim why he wants to get even with Sister Helen. Clearly she has it in for Lily and the whole Finnerty family. Lily got detention recently, and Sean and Claudia were summoned to Sister Helen's office, because Jimmy has been extremely disruptive in class. Jimmy's convinced he's possessed by Satan, but Sean assures Tim that he's not. The real problem, Sean insists, is that Sister Helen is out to get Lily, and this time it's about the length of her skirt. Lily says she's being singled out, because she's not one of the nun's goody goody princesses. Eddie and Walt arrive, and Eddie tells Claudia that he remembers that she and Tim had a thing in high school. When Jimmy hears that Tim's a priest, he thinks there's going to be an exorcism. Jimmy's been having this problem ever since Sean and Eddie sneaked Jimmy and Henry into "The Exorcist" after they all got bored with some kiddie movie that Henry had wanted to see. Lily protests that she's not the only one wearing a short skirt, so Sean and Eddie lurk around the schoolyard fence with a camera trying to document this for Sister Helen's benefit. Claudia tells Tim that she hopes that she had nothing to do with his decision to enter the priesthood. Sean tells Jimmy that he's not possessed by Satan, because there is no Satan. Because Sean shows Sister Helen the photos of Lily's classmates in short skirts, she decides to make all the girls wear jumpers like the ones worn by the younger girls. She tells the girls that Lily is the one who brought the skirt lengths to her attention. Lily knows she's dead meat. Tim says that everyone should respect Sister Helen's position of authority, and, frankly, Sean and Lily don't have a case. Claudia says that Lily's a chip off the old block; neither she nor Sean can deal with authority. Father Tim holds a pretend exorcism to bring Jimmy back to reality. Seeking revenge, Sean and Lily mistakenly vandalize a car that's parked next to Sister Helen's.
