The girl with the Golden Hair

Back at the church, Santo tells Pete that he speaks the truth. Colleen really did request the handkerchief for him. Pete yells at Santo that if his nose is dripping, he'll use his sleeve!!

Back at the safe house, Sami continues to read and smiles as she says that she likes this Pete Brady! Lucas thinks Pete sounds like a nut job, but Sami helps Lucas realize that Pete was just protecting his daughter. She relates it to their situation and Lucas admits he'd be protective as well. Lucas holds Sami close and Sami starts teasing him again, then pushes him away and starts reading. She reads that Santo thinks that the lord was with him that day because Colleen showed up in the nick of time with her little brother Shawn, who showed more sense than any of the adults!! Sami stops reading and says to Lucas, "I can't believe that Santo is writing about Grandpa Shawn!"

Flashback to the church, Santo tells Colleen she writes with a beautiful hand and every phrase has such meaning. Colleen blushes and says she was just inquiring about his health, but Santo doesn't think it was just about his health. She says it's true and she was just proposing a trade. Santo comments that he's been here looking for her for days and wonders if Father Mallory was making up excuses for her. Colleen looks down as if admitting her guilt. "I thought so…" Santo says and asks her why he frightens her so. Colleen ignores his question and says she'll just pay for the handkerchief, but Santo wants her to accept it. "From you, I cannot take money." He says. Santo urges her to see it as a little reminder of gratitude for her great kindness to him. Colleen still cannot accept and hands it back. Their hands touch, and Colleen is startled and makes a moves to leave, but Santo asks her to meet with him tomorrow for a picnic.

Back in the church, Colleen appears upset and thanks Santo for the picnic but says she has given her heart to the lord and the church, and he has given his heart to his wife. Santo tells her he's not asking for marriage. He just wants her time to thank her. Colleen appears confused and unsure of herself as she tells Santo she can't go. Santo says, "Anam Cara" to Colleen, which means "soul mate". She leaves him calling after her, in his frustration.

Back at the church, Santo sadly makes his way out of the church. He kisses the handkerchief and places it on a pew before he leaves. After he's gone, Colleen comes out of the back of the church and watches Santo walk away. She finds the handkerchief where Santo left it and smiles to herself and breathes in the scent. Father Mallory catches her and asks if Santo left the handkerchief as a donation. Colleen tries to tell him no, but he takes it as a gift for the church, figuring they can get some money for it. Colleen asks for time off for the next day to help the orphans and Father Mallory allows her one hour off.

The Great Handkerchief Rebellion!

At the safe house, Roman hands Sami the letters and says that he thought they needed first crack, since they were the ones to discover the letters in the first place. He gives them some food from the party and says he has to run. Sami teases him that she knows he's seeing Anna! Roman snickers but says nothing. After he leaves, Lucas digs into the food that Roman brought them, while Sami starts to read. In the letter, Colleen says, "I hope this letter finds you well, despite the head wound you received on the day we met." We see a flashback of Colleen praying in a church. She's in a habit. Two men bring in an injured Santo and say that he was at Finn's Pub and a fight broke out, so Finn accidentally hit the man on the head. Colleen has the men take Santo to a pew where she can have a better look at him.

A flashback shows Colleen telling the men to get water and a doctor for the man. Colleen tends to Santo's forehead. "Let him be alright," she says, quietly.

Flashing back to Colleen and Santo, Colleen asks Santo to open his eyes, and he does so, and then says something in Italian to her. In Italia, she tells him she's a novice, and Santo gets up, hand on head and is surprised he could understand her Italian. She says one of the sisters come from Taormino. Santo smiles and says he used to spend summers there. Colleen tells Santo that she finds the spoken word of Italian beautiful, and Santo tells Colleen that he finds Irish beautiful. Colleen makes mention that she can speak Gaelic, as well, and the two flirt as Colleen tends to Santo's head wound. He asks, "If you are not the Madonna, who are you?" Colleen introduces herself and when Santo introduces himself, she says, "The name Santo means 'Saint'!" He grins and comments that it's a difficult name to live up to. Colleen helps him up and tells her that he was in the pub having a good glass of Irish beer, when someone hit him. Colleen laughs and says he was hit on the head due to a mistaken identity, she's sure. The two make eye contact and Colleen suddenly has to rush off to get a wet cloth for his wounds. Santo asks her how long until she takes her final vows. "It'll be soon," she says and dashes off.

At the church, Colleen arrives back with a new cloth to clean Santo's wound. Santo touches her arm, and they stare into one another's eyes. Santo tells her their family is in the import and export business and says it must be hard to get used to all the rain in Ireland. He tells her she must visit him and he'll give her a grand tour of Taormino. Colleen asks, "And will your wife be coming with us on your grand tour?" Santo looks down, frowning. He takes a seat and asks how she knew. Colleen admits she didn't. Santo says his wife is in Toscana with his son, Stefano. He gives her a handkerchief that his wife made. He says that his wife makes many of them. Colleen compliments Santo's wife, and Santo calls Colleen his savior. Colleen says, "God is your savior, not me."

Back at the church, in a flashback, Santo stands up and tells Colleen she's the most beautiful woman he has ever met. Colleen reminds him she's a novice and says he speaks blasphemy. She thinks that the blow to his head is more serious than she thought and asks him to be seated again. Santo says he has seen heaven on earth and could die happy. Father Mallory enters the church and is introduced to Santo. He inquires about his head wound and Colleen shares what happened. Father Mallory says he has been on the other end of things with Finn before as well! He takes Colleen aside and asks her to see if Santo will provide a monetary gift to the church, for tending to his wound. The Father leaves and Colleen urges Santo to leave, as well. He thanks her for her kind hands and heart and moves to leave, but Colleen asks him to promise to have his head examined by the doctor. Santo offers to walk by the doctor's office on his way back to the pub. takes her hand in his and kisses it, then leaves. Colleen holds the handkerchief from Santo's wife and Father Mallory comes back to ask what she's doing. She shows him the handmade handkerchief and he notes how lovely it is. He takes it from her and she comments that Santo may want it back.

In the church, Father Mallory takes the handkerchief and says that Santo will return for the handkerchief if he wants it back, but after Father Mallory leaves, Colleen decides she doesn't want to wait and sits down to write Santo a letter!
