Silver Wedding Part III

Helen, Desmonds second daughter is a difficult girl. She is living in a convent which is just an inner city house with women who mostly find her hard to make sense of. They think she's running away from ordinary life and she has a knack of causing problems and getting things wrong. She is it turns out running away from an unhappy sexual experience. While she was still at school, Desmond lost his job in Frank's firm, and Helen clumsy as always tries to find a way of getting it back for him. She flirts with Frank and makes out that she's older and more experienced than she really is. He seduces her, and she freaks out. He realises that she is not very stable and that she is young and he should never have touched her. He gives Des his job back and avoids the family as much as he can, and when Helen is a bit older, she goes to try to find a place in the convent. In the months leading up to the Silver Wedding, Helen meets Renata, Frank's wife, who wants to adopt a child. She visits the convent and gets talking to Helen and again Helen makes a crazy attempt to do some good. A girl whom the nuns visit has a baby, in her bathroom and is so out of her mind on drugs that she doesn't really know what happened. Helen takes the baby and calls an ambulance for her, but she brings the newborn child to Renata who is horrified. A major fuss erupts and the baby is given to a foster carer and Helen realises that she has messed up again. Frank talks to one of the older nuns who tells him that she might be able to help him find a child for adoption who would be legally theirs.
