"Are
you there god, it's me Peggy Hill"
Episode KH607
Original Airdate: 3/17/02
After Donna, the account manager at Strickland Propane, is fired for
stealing office supplies, Hank tells Peggy to apply for the opening
at Strickland. To please Hank, Peggy unenthusiastically accepts the
job, but secretly pursues a full-time job teaching Spanish at a Catholic
school. Peggy gets hired (by pretending she's a nun) and loves her
new job until she has to B.S. her way through an assignment as a substitute
religion teacher. Peggy realizes that if she teaches her students
untruths about religion, they might go to hell even though they didn't
realize they were doing anything wrong. She even has a nightmare that
she and the kids go to hell.
Hank informs Peggy of a teaching opening at a public school and urges
her to apply. Upset, she confesses her ruse to Hank, who tells her
to quit. Peggy says that if she confesses, her teaching career will
be shattered. With the guidance of Bill, a lapsed Catholic, Peggy
pulls an all-nighter to learn about Catholicism. Peggy teaches the
correct tenets of the religion and then quits her job, saying she
has fallen in love with a propane salesman. As penance, Peggy doesn't
interview for the job at the public school.
