The wake for Patrick. Nora decides it's time to tell her children that Patrick isn't her son, but her sister Teresa's son. So, she tell them that she has a sister (news to them) and that she is a nun and will be at the wake. The wake is busy with people; she doesn't get time to tell more--though it's unclear if she wants to tell more.
Brigitte, her gay daughter, wants to tell Nora that her lover Natalie intends to have (an artificially inseminated) baby, but doesn't get the chance. Just when it looks like Teresa won't show up . . . she shows up.
Brian brings a "date," to the wake. Ashley, who is dressed inappropriately. John and Julia stop to get a special holy medal that Teresa gave Patrick at birth. Nora wants this medallion on Patrick in his grave. Mauve, their adopted Chinese-born daughter, is surly. Holy cards and prayers.
Good book
