About the show

On Easter Sunday, Carmela visits a Naples orphanage with a cake for the son she left there. She tells her childhood friend Suor Pazienza and the Mother Superior that she was seduced and abandoned, then had to leave her child at the orphanage after marrying a man who rejected him. While Carmela prays in the chapel, the nuns report that her son died the night before. The Mother Superior tells Carmela that the boy is at choir practice, and Carmela leaves in tears.
