The big problem with this is that, rewatching the scene, I think you've caricatured a natural expressiveness as a "massive eye-roll." I see thoughtfulness, not haughtiness...Personally I think she's grappling with an unplayable moment. I don't believe a nun with responsibility for this young woman would advise her to throw herself at her employer of a few weeks...
I will say she takes an unfortunate pause at, "If you love this man it does not mean you love God...any less."

I will also say that the climax of "Climb Every Mountain," with McDonald hitting that note and Underwood's eyes shining with tears, is the most successful moment of the whole telecast.

I think it is Underwood just listening and reacting like "This is how you do it! What a voice!". But I agree, it was a lovely moment.
