Sister the sister? spoiler


I was sure Michiel told Jack that his sister was a sister (nun), and I thought maybe so since nuns often work at the hospitals. But, then she is being compromised by Jack. Michiel must have been in shock. "Hey mister! Get off my sister!"

Michiel did tell Jack that his sister was a sister - but meaning 'nurse', not 'nun'. In England and Australia we call nurses 'sister' - harking back to the days when nearly all nurses were nuns.

That's interesting and makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.
