   Summary

   Aldo Bellini and Goffredo Tedesco try to fix themselves and each other with mixed results.
   Vincent Benítez didn't sign up for any of this but ends up doing a better job anyway.
   Thomas Lawrence has been managing these idiots all his adult life (and people think running a conclave is a thankless job).
