Ted, on his part is genuinely puzzled how such a honour could have been bestowed upon two completely unknown priests from the West of Ireland. But Dougal has an idea why... He reckons God planned it all, to give Ted a chance to redeem himself over his dark past, namely the time when he allegedely blew all the charity funds in his care, on a gambling spree in Las Vegas.
