Back at the parochial house, Mrs. Doyle reveals that Father Finnegan has died from a heart attack, most likely brought on by excessive continuous dancing. Ted and Dougal realise that they will be able to keep the car. However, things turn to the worse quickly. Ted discovers that an inebriated Father Jack has driven the car to the shops to acquire more drink. He asks Father Jack what he has done with the car. Jack explains curtly that the car was hit by not one, but two trucks. When Ted and Dougal inspect the damage, they discover that although the front half is intact (except for a partially detached number plate), the rear half has been crushed beyond repair. While they are out, Father O'Dwyer steals the raffle money to pay off his debts.
