Embarks on a newly righteous path

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repents

(Other definitions for repents that I've seen before include "Feels remorse for, sin perhaps" , "Feels sincere remorse" , "Turns away from evil" , "Present (anag.)" , "Expresses sorrow for sin" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
