The Martyrdom of Saint Nanette / The Crossing

The Martyrdom of Saint Nanette After Josephine tells the class about Ash Wednesday, Nanette, wanting her memory to live on for eternity, suggests that the entire class participate in sacrificing something for forty days. Angela decides that she will stop imagining things about other people. In other words, stop fantasizing about revenging Nanette. And Nanette takes a vow of poverty, which includes giving up her chauffeured town car, fine cuisine, and of course her magnificent wardrobe. Angela is really put to the test when Nanette enters wearing her signature orange dress, claiming that it isn't easy wearing 'tasteless clothes'. It isn't long before Angela discovers that Nanette is not keeping true to her vow of poverty. She tells Mrs. Brinks that she spotted Nanette sitting down to an elaborate feast, but Mrs. Brinks is quick to point out that Angela promised that she would not let her imagination get the better of her, and dismisses Angela's claims. On her way back to her desk, a jar of caviar falls from Nanette's pocket, ensuring Angela that this day will most definitely live on for eternity! The Crossing Sherman, the class chick, escapes from his box, and Angela convinces Ms. Jenerette, the school crossing guard, to leave her post and stop the chicken from crossing the road. By doing so, Nanette ends up being late for her salon appointment, and as a result, Mrs. Manior gets the beloved crossing guard fired. Angela feels terrible and assists Ms. Jenerette on her next set of jobs, but each time she lends a hand, something goes awry and Ms. Jenerette is continually fired. In the meantime, Mrs. Manior sets up a traffic light to replace Ms. Jenerette, but when the light changes while Nanette is in the middle of the cross walk, it is Ms. Jenerette who is there to save her. Ms. Jenerette is awarded her job back, and at the suggestion of Angela, a pay raise!
