Episode 1 recap

Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence’s first episode focused on introducing the titular pair, first by briefly focusing on Lawrence’s childhood. The series then jumped forward to a late teenaged Lawrence, seeing him introduce the titular Cecilia to a young boy seeking advice. This also showed the stark contrast in their personalities, with Lawrence remaining formal when it’s just the two of them, whereas Cecilia instantly begins relaxing and lazing about.

It was also established that Cecilia’s laziness was due to how overprotective Lawrence is of her, not letting her do any potentially dangerous activities. Thankfully, the episode set up the two to attend a house call together after Cecilia convinced Lawrence to let her come. The episode then showed that Cecilia really does have saintly powers, speaking to the angels of the church and asking them to refrain from hanging around Lawrence due to her jealousy.

As if this weren’t enough, the two’s outing overtly establishes that Cecilia has romantic feelings for Lawrence, who seemingly doesn’t realize it. It was also established that Lawrence found Cecilia when she was a roadside wanderer some years ago and has looked after her since. The episode’s final minutes essentially continued laying out the nature of their relationship, ending with no real setup for the next episode.

What to expect (speculative)

Given the lack of setup from the pilot episode, fans can expect Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence episode 2 to continue seeing its eponymous duo get into slice-of-life situations. This is to be expected given the series’ classification as a rom-com, and fans looking for a significantly deeper plot than the abovementioned genre will likely be disappointed.

Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence episode 2 will likely continue to delve into the features that best describe a slice-of-life rom-com for viewers who are traditionally fans of the genre. While the series will almost certainly find a way to uniquely distinguish itself from others in its genre at some point in the first season, episode 2 will likely stick to the basics of Cecilia and Lawrence’s relationship.
