Episode 8 recap
Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence’s eighth episode began with the continued introduction of Giselbert Aldridge, Hazelita’s brother. He then invited both Cecilia and Lawrence back to his mansion, where Hazelita and Abel criticized his actions in regard to Cecilia. The group then all ate dinner together after introductions, with Giselbert and Lawrence discussing Cecilia and Hazelita over drinks afterward.
This was followed by Cecilia and Lawrence spending a day in the city together, eventually meeting up with Eric, Abel, and Hazelita for a special lunch. Lawrence began to feel the symptoms of migraine, which Cecilia thought her divine protection may be responsible for. Abel suggested decreasing it to see if that helped Lawrence, which it does. It’s then revealed that Lawrence and Cecilia passed by a garden where Saint Frederica, from Hazelita’s childhood, was laid to rest, with her protection affecting him.
This began a flashback showing Hazelita and Giselbert’s close relationship with Frederica, highlighting the tragic aspects of her death. Hazelita realizes that her relationship with Cecilia and Lawrence has changed her for the better as Cecilia sees Frederica’s apparition. The episode ended with the reveal that Giselbert was in love with Frederica, even once asking her to run away from the city with him.
What to expect (speculative)
Following the development of Giselbert in the previous installment, Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence episode 9 have a few major questions to address and hopefully answer. The biggest of which is whether or not Giselbert will become a mainstay given the spotlight he’s received in the last episode.
More likely than not, Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence episode 9 will leave Giselbert in the city as the series’ central quartet returns to the countryside. However, fans can certainly expect to see him in future seasons of the series, if not future episodes of the first season. As a result, fans can expect the upcoming ninth episode to return to the show’s typical love story antics with Cecilia and Lawrence.
