My wife believes Father Flynn is guilty based on his response to the false accusation of a witness from an earlier parish. I am less convinced I feel that he simply had enough of a paranoid sister and wanted to move on without creating a confrontation. Things are often not as they seem, including the motives for an apparent choice to run.

As a side note I might add that I have attended a Catholic school and have experienced a nun who was judgmental and vindictive. In my case I appreciated the order that came from strict discipline. An innocent girl in my class was not as lucky. Her mother had the girl change schools to get away from the nun. Once she was on your case she could make life hell.

Honestly, it was one of the best written dramas I have ever seen. The acting and directing were superb. I cannot express enough my enjoyment of the evening.
