Biography

Father Collins is the young, charming, and irreverent priest with a soft spot for the disabled vets who rehab in the hospital’s clinic. But when his duties as the hospital chaplain put him on a collision course with the clinic’s new director, Cristal Carrington, not even the Lord above can stop the chemistry between this very married woman and very attractive man of the cloth.

Season 3

In Is The Next Surgery on The House?, Caleb and Cristal meet at the Atlanta General Hospital, the latter was there to meet Father Kelly for a walkthrough. Cristal waits at the hospital for Blake when she receives a text message saying that he won't be coming because of Fallon. Her groan catches the attention of an attractive man lifting weights, who comments that people who groan like that are usually learning how to walk again. She remarks that she's the only person who values her time as she's been stood up by two men at the same time. He comments that those men aren't smart and that she should take it as a sign to stop cursing what she can't control and just appreciate what's in front of her. He offers to lend an ear which creates friendly banter between them before she leaves.

Cristal asks a rehabbing veteran about Father Kelly but the man hasn't seen Father Kelly as he retired a week ago. He instead, points her to Caleb she bantered with earlier, revealing him as Father Collins. They banter again and he calls her out on her rudeness earlier to which she apologizes and offers to sit down with him to work out a mutually beneficial agreement. He rejects the idea as he doesn't think clergy belongs in hospital politics. He has no doubt she can hold her own and walks away.

Cristal visits Father Collins and pulls a curtain between them, pulls up a chair, and does confession in the middle of a patient's room. She wants to do good and wants Collins to help her. He decides he will because he loves the veterans just as much as her. She apologizes for accusing him of flirting but he admits he was and leaves, calling out prayers for her to do as penance.

Adam interrupts as he’s now the supervisor assigned to the planning for the fundraising gala. She suggests he be reassigned and should take time off since he just had major surgery. Adam assures her he’s fine and doesn’t want the assignment anymore then she does, but he has to use the gala to make things right with the board. Adam tells her that Father Collins is staying despite her claiming he wants to leave. The board is conservative and wants the gala to have both a community engagement component and a religious one so Collins is staying. Adam suggests they get to work.

Adam brings menu samplers to the manor for Cristal and Collins to taste. Collins continues to flirt with Cristal and make subtle remarks about them, which Adam doesn’t pick up on. As they are sipping champagne Blake notices the crowd and demands to know what Adam is doing at the manor. Cristal tells Blake that Adam is on the gala planning committee, which Blake believes is just another way to worm his way in after being banned. Adam wants to speak with Blake and Collins chimes in that he thinks Adam’s intentions are pure. Blake and Collins debate back and forth on religion and Adam’s intentions. Blake tells Adam to leave after the meeting.

Adam confronts Caleb about the emergency that kept him from the meeting. Caleb didn’t have an emergency but was told that Cristal canceled the meeting. He must have misread the texts which Adam accepts though Caleb doesn’t seem to believe it.
