Punky Brewster - S04E01 - The Nun’s Story.

Punky, Cherie, and Betty are getting ready for a food-filled trip to a drive-in movie when there is a knock at the door. Punky answers the door, and it’s a nun who introduces herself as Sister Mary Malcolm (Patricia Wilson) from Our Lady of Perpetual Agony, a convent that is collecting used clothing and household items that they can sell to raise enough money to get a new furnace for the convent. Punky checks the living room closet, and she finds a brass urn that she donates. Later, Henry, Betty, Punky, and Cherie get back from the drive-in. Henry opens the closet door, and asks Punky about the urn. Henry says it contains the ashes of his late Aunt Mable, and that he plans to drive the urn to Evanston tomorrow afternoon for Mable’s son Archie. Punky tries to figure out how to get the urn back, and Cherie and Margaux come over. Punky decides that the only way to do it is to go to the convent. After Margaux leaves, Punky and Cherie head out. After a series of mishaps at the convent, Punky and Cherie head home without the urn. They’re told by Henry that he actually had four of the brass urns, and Henry had put the one with Mable’s ashes in it in the apartment building’s basement instead of the living room closet; thus, Punky did not give away Mable’s ashes.
