Peggy (who is married and Methodist) poses as a nun in order to get a full-time teaching job at a Catholic high school, and worries that her subterfuge is a one-way ticket to eternal damnation.
Tropes:
- Actor Allusion: Hank says to Peggy, "At least when Whoopi Goldberg posed as a nun, she was hiding from gangsters.". Kathy Najimy (Peggy) played Sister Mary Patrick in Sister Act.
- Art Shift: Peggy's nightmare is colored digitally, with the rest of the episode done through traditional methods.
- Bad Liar: Since the Catholic school is only employing nuns, Peggy steals one of the cassocks and in her job interview, she claims that her reference is a group of children from another Catholic school that have just taken a vow of silence and uses God as her recommendation. Luckily for her, they buy it.
- Bittersweet Ending: Peggy loses her job at the Catholic school once she admits to her lying about her religion. Hank soon fires her from Strickland after she admits that working for them is her "penance". Unlike the other job, she's actually thrilled to be fired from Strickland.
- Book Dumb: Peggy's reasoning that cats don't go to heaven it's because she heard (from a movie, which she can't remember) that dogs do go to heaven.
- Didn't Think This Through: One of Peggy's attempts to become a permanent teacher is to attend a funeral for a deceased teacher. Only to find out that her position was filled out a decade previously after she retired.Peggy: Well your obituary was very misleading.
- Fire and Brimstone Hell: Parodied when Peggy dreams she's condemned herself and the class she's teaching to Hell for posing as a nun and suddenly the flames die out. That's when Hank comes in to service the tanks.Hank: That’s a clean-burning Hell, I tell you what!.
- Five-Second Rule: Peggy (while posing as a nun) is giving her students communion. One boy's falls from his mouth, and Peggy simply wipes it on her habit and pops it back in his mouth while citing the trope.
- Shout-Out: Peggy mentions All Dogs Go to Heaven when reasoning that cats don't go heaven.
