The hero of Les Mis goes to jail for 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread (the French take their bread very seriously), and upon his parol, he steals from a priest who offers him shelter for the night. When the hero is captured by the police, instead of pressing charges, the priest says "oh yes, I gave him the stuff he stole and to prove it here's some more stuff that he forgot to take with him." This act of kindness and forgiveness causes the hero to mend his ways and become an all-around great guy.

I appreciate the context, Randal! It makes the episode even more meaningful.
If they keep up the Les Mis parallels, next week there will be A LOT of horny dead people.
