ST. MARCUS CONVENT

St. Marcus Convent in Los Angeles is home to a service order of nuns who had found a mission in Archbishop Fierro's Central American country to work with the poor, the sick, and the children.

The archbishop had arrived in Los Angeles to speak to the missionaries and people at St. Marcus Convent who had donated time and money to the humanitarian causes in his country. However, Piedra, an international assassin, had targeted the archbishop and had managed to escape custody.

Terry, whose sister had been murdered by Piedra, had partnered with MacGyver, believing him to be the assassin she intended to kill. Although MacGyver was able to convince her otherwise, they were both apprehended by Emilio and Lopez, part of the archbishop's security detail, and they were brought to the convent.

Sister Eileen Kennedy, one of the sisters at St. Marcus Convent, welcomed Archbishop Fierro when he arrived, however MacGyver, Emilio, and Lopez tried to convince him that the danger of making a public appearance was too great.

Emilio and his team coordinated a search of the grounds while MacGyver donned the archbishop's robes to take his place. Piedra, now disguised as a nun, attempted to strike at MacGyver, but in the ensuing struggle, Piedra was stabbed by his own poisoned dart, and he died.

Once the risk was eliminated, Archbishop Fierro was able to address the crowd at St. Marcus Convent as planned.
