"Jackie:" "Previously on "Nurse Jackie"..." "I wanna go back in a time machine before you fucked up our kids." "Jackie:" "I signed 400 papers, ended my marriage." "Gave him joint custody." "I would love some document that would clarify just what we are." " Where's the lady?" " Change of plans." "So, you wanna have dinner?" "I'm a recovering drug addict." "I have two girls." "Do you wanna do this again?" "Because I do." "Oh, fuck." " Jesus Christ, Kevin!" " Oh, God." "Frank:" "I was sitting on that sofa last night wondering if that's gonna be me down the line." "We gotta work on our own shit." "I'm not using." "That should be enough, you know?" "I love you." "Our new chief of the ER, Dr. Ike Prentiss." " Does it hurt?" " This ain't pain." "Ow." "Zoey:" "Don't tell anyone at work." "Just be cool." " You're a born healer." " You get me." "Oh!" "She missed the fucking appendicitis." " I vote she stays." " Gloria:" "Opposed." "I'm sorry, Dr. Roman." "We are dismissing you from All Saints." "I've been asked to perform in a hostile work environment." "Grace:" "I fucking hate you." "It's always about her." "Jackie:" "Please tell me we didn't break her." "I found these in Grace's backpack." "I took something and I still did everything I was supposed to do." "You know what that's like, right?" "I think the girls should live with you." "Zoey:" "It made me really nervous hearing about that pill." " It's not a gun, Zoey." " It is, kind of." "My name is Jackie." "I am an addict, and today I'm sober for one year." "(Applause)" "(Theme music playing)" "(Man vocalizing)" "Thank you." "It's a lot lighter than I expected." "I got shorted." "I'll make it up to you tomorrow." "All right." "Countin' on it." "(Inhaling)" "(Exhales)" "(Wipes counter)" " (Knock on door)" " Yeah?" "Ready for school?" "(Kisses)" "(Dance music playing)" "Who needs this exercise shit?" "You already take my breath away." " Dinner tomorrow night?" " Mm, can't, I got a double." " How about tonight?" " I can't, I have the girls tonight." "First time in two weeks." "Wow, way to play the hot mom card on me." "(Chuckles) I'll call you." " Mm." " (Breathes deeply)" " I love you." " Love you, too." "Go, get out of here." "♪ Good morning" "♪ Can you hear me?" " Hey, Jackie, can I talk to you later?" " Sure." "♪ Time to get a move on... ♪" "You went to the gym again." "Ugh..." "I feel like such a sloth." "(Chuckles)" " Morning, Jackie." " Good morning." " I'm gonna need your help in a minute." " All right." "Prentiss wants a blood draw on this kid, but his veins are like angel hair and he has a nasty rash." "Poor thing." "Let me take a look." "You swam today." "Oh, you are good." "You're like this different person whenever you come from the gym." "Yeah, that's why I go." "Hi, sweetie." " Ooh." " Ouch." "Woman:" "We went camping and he got into poison ivy." "You don't need to stick a needle in his arm." " Has he ever had chicken pox?" " Yeah, so that's out." "Can we get that nice doctor back here?" "I'm tired of talking to nurses." "It could be shingles." "That would explain the pain." "Excuse me, Doctor, does my son really need to have his blood drawn?" "Yeah, I want to run a CBC and check for shingles." "I know, sweetie." "Nobody likes needles, but you're doing great." "Could you rub his neck?" "Go, look at Mommy." "Right here, honey." "Easy peasy." " Is she done yet?" " All done, sweetie." "Okay, keep it right there." " Yeah." " Thank you." " She's the vein whisperer." " Uh-huh." "Woman over P.A.:" "Dr. Fisher to West Orthopedics Three." " (Woman groaning)" " Need a doc here." "(Doors open, close)" "I thought you were off probation today." "Prentiss said he'd let me know." "Oh, I'm so excited." "Finally, after, like, months, I won't feel all tied down." "In a bad way." " And the award goes to?" " Me." "I gave a scholarship to my alma mater." "Because?" "I'm kind of at a place in my life where I want to feel more fulfilled." "You know, I read, um, something in "People."" "America doesn't even rank in the top 20 countries in happiness." "It's like Mexico is higher." "Mexico." " Why?" " Don't know." "Hey, can you help me with this?" "Mm, last time I helped you, you tried to sue me." "I found these pills..." "Percocet." "Just... say... no." "Is this a bad time?" "Today, we welcome back Dr. Roman from her three-month probation." "There were some issues when she was last on the floor, but know this... not all of them were her fault." "Thank you." "Part of the problem was that we didn't have enough oversight." "Well, I was doing my best..." "Which is why I'm assigning Jackie to Dr. Roman." "Wherever she goes, shadow her." "Hi." "I know I shouldn't, but I feel kind of bad for Dr. Roman." "Don't feel bad for her." "But I do." "I have empathy... for a lot of different kinds of people." "Easy for you." "Your life is amazing." "What do you mean?" "Because of my new apartment?" "What?" "It's so cute how you try to avoid each other at work, but..." "Everyone knows." " Everyone knows what?" " Oh, maybe not everyone." "Oh, Zoey and Prentiss?" "Totally knew about that." "When did the nausea start?" "After I ate them fish tacos." "Okay, you already did that, Doctor." "Just making sure." "Wouldn't want to have an issue." "While you palpate, I will get him some antiemetics." "(Whispering) Everyone knows." "(Whispering) About?" "Us." "Me and you." "Our cover is completely blown." "(Chuckles) Listen, if people know, right, it means we don't have to worry about them finding out." "I've put hours into maintaining a very specific kind of discreetness." " Like "Downton Abbey" levels of discretion." " (Laughing)" " It's not funny." " No, I know." "What if Akalitus finds out?" "After what happened with Carrie and Coop, I could lose my job." "Okay, I'm gonna talk to her, make sure she knows we're cool." "Okay?" "No, no, no." "Discretion." "(Fans power down)" "What the fuck?" "(Reggae music playing faintly)" "(Music fades)" "Thor:" "Jackie?" "A little help?" "Hold this." "Gloria:" "Listen up, people." "Con Ed's working on the power grid." "What's up with these generators not kicking in?" "(Generators power up)" "(Machine beeps)" "I'll look into it." "Shit happens." "(Whispers) I was going to tell you." " No, you weren't, and I totally respected that." " You did?" "I think it's nice when you have something you can keep to yourself." "It's nobody's business who you're loving." "Oh, no one said love." "I mean, some of us seem to be moving towards saying love, but some of us don't really know what we're moving towards." "(Phone alarm beeping)" "2:00, your meeting." "You set your alarm for my meeting?" "I'm a really good friend." "I took nyquil, but I felt so guilty that I called my sponsor and here I am, which is where I should have been in the first place because you are my family." "My sober family." "God, son, you are pushing a wheelbarrow full of horseshit up a very steep hill." " What?" " Oh, did I say that out loud?" "I am so sorry." "I was raised on a porch." "Excuse me, there is no cross talk in this meeting." "It speaks." "I'm just saying you can't comment on somebody else's share." "Well, okay." "Little Miss "I'm with the program"" "has read me the rule book on cross talk. (Clicks tongue)" "Oh... oh, hey, now." " (People exclaiming)" " Woman:" "Oh, my God." "Hey, oh, um, are you a doctor?" "A nurse." "You gonna give me shit about that, too?" "Maybe later." "Come here." " You got a wallet?" " Yeah." "Here." "47-year-old male, seizure." "He's postictal." "Heart rate's 150." "His wife is on her way from uptown." "EMT:" "Ready?" "One, two, three, up." "It's a cocaine overdose." "Makes sense." " Where did you find him?" " My AA meeting." "(Heart monitor beeping rapidly)" "Shit, V-fib." "Power up." "(Machine whirring)" "Clear." "(Zaps)" "(Machine powers down)" "(Echoing) You okay?" " (Flatlining tone) - (Respirator hissing)" "How you feeling?" "Fuck, fuck, fuck." "(Flatlining tone continues)" "It's a probable cocaine overdose." "He seized and arrested on the table." "She's fine." "First day back." "Nice." "Okay, the rest of the day, you take it easy." "Get some rest." "(Door closes)" "Hey, Kev, it's me." "Listen, so, I had a little accident at work today." "Yeah, I'm fine." "I just..." "I'm gonna need you to keep the girls tonight, if that's all right." "Yeah, I can grab them from school." "Yeah, that would be great." "Thank you." "I really appreciate it." "Okay." "Hey, I need a charge." "Can I plug this in your ear?" "(Laughs)" "Oof." "Why don't you try that girl I saw you with earlier?" "She seems to have a fair amount of extra energy." " Heather." " Oh, Heather's, what, like, 19?" "She's completely age-appropriate." "Why, you jealous?" "Fucking A, I'm jealous." "You see that body?" "No, of course you did." "Who are you kidding?" "You never looked so good." " Is Heather the girlfriend?" " Not exclusively." "I'm seeing a couple of women." " You happy?" " I'm seeing a couple of women." "I'm glad you're okay." "I think you're a danger to my ER, end of story, period." "But I did not do anything wrong." "You just assume because of my history." "I'm telling you... okay, it's like Jackie was a drug addict." "Does that mean she still is now?" "Dr. Roman, my office." "(Whimpering)" "This is our chance to get rid of her." "It'll be good for everybody." "Gloria!" "She called clear." "It was not her fault." "I made a mistake." "She didn't do anything wrong." " Sorry, it's the truth." " (Sighs) Shit happens." "Jackie, are you sure you're okay?" " 'Cause that really scared me." " Yeah, yeah." "Thanks." " Hey, any chance we could..." " Oh, talk?" "Yes, sure." "Great." "Um... you remember back when you turned 40?" "Uh, vaguely." "Well, I got the big 4-0 coming up myself, you know." "Yes, everybody knows." "You save-the-dated the entire ER... twice." "Uh, it's got me thinking." " Well, you know..." " Oh, shit, hold on one second." "One second." "So, I guess what I was trying to ask you..." "Mrs. Whitmore, I need to tell you something..." " One second." " ...about your husband." "Was it drugs?" "Was he using again?" "Hi, excuse me." "I'm sorry." "I knew your husband." "We went to the same AA meeting, and his recovery was such a power of example for all of us." "And we did absolutely everything we could for him in there." "I am so sorry." "Would you like me to take you to see him?" "I'll do it." "(Sighs)" "Well, it's all anybody's gonna talk about for the next week." " "I was at that meeting where that guy OD'd." - (Laughs) God." "Listen, I have a big mouth." "I'm very sorry." "Let me make it up to you." "Call it amends." "Come on, get out of here." "I'll buy you something to eat." "All right." "(Sniffs)" "(Gasps) Sorry." "Really?" "Which step is that?" "What?" "I haven't had a drink in 10 years." "It's just like visiting your boyfriend in prison." "You know he's no good for you, but you still like looking at him through the glass." "(Both laugh)" "(Knocks)" "If you're here because of what I said before, I apologize." "That's not why I'm here." "I'm worried about you." "(Scoffs) You're worried about me?" "No one ever worries about me." "Well, I'm also hiding from Prentiss." "I found out why." " Why what?" " Why Mexico has a higher ranking than America in happiness." "Greater emphasis on family." "I looked it up." "(Chuckles) I miss you." "Don't you miss me?" "I thought you were gonna get fired today." " I almost hoped you would." " How sweet." "No, no, I just mean then we could finally hook up." "Because right now, with Akalitus and the hospital board, it's like you're..." "Radioactive?" "It's hard when you can't touch the person you want to because..." "You know, I shouldn't be saying any of this because my lawyer would kill me." "(Sighs)" "Clear." "(Groans)" "You have to make the first move." "Maybe I will." "(Groans)" " (Door opens) - (Sighs)" "I'm so fucked." "Zoey:" "Did you tell her yet?" "Watch this." "You got a minute?" "Do I have to make an announcement?" ""Don't shit where you eat, people"?" "(Both laugh)" "We need more doctors like you and nurses like Miss Barkow." "Right, speaking of Miss Barkow, there's a situation I need to tell you... just..." "Oh, I'm so relieved." " Zoey..." " 'Cause if you weren't okay with us dating..." "You two are dating?" "(Sighs) Crap." "I thought you knew." " She didn't know." " No, I did not know." "And I still don't." "Well, we're gonna go back to work." "I know it's supposed to help, but I fucking hate the program." "Me, too." "It's all of that 12-step God talk." "It just drives me up a tree." "Which is why I kind of pick and choose." "A little of the big book, some therapy, a dash of Oprah." "I mean, it's taken me a long time and a few slips to find my path." "How about you?" "Well, the day of my one-year anniversary, they got me a nice cake..." "I took a pill." "Ooh." "My first relapse, I went on a three-month bender." "It was so much work, all the lying and hiding." "Trying to catch the next high." "Oh, explaining to my husband where the money went." "Trying to cover the high instead of just relaxing into it." " That was the worst." " You want to tell all these people," ""Just get the fuck away from me so I can enjoy this."" "I took a lot of bubble baths with a bottle of whiskey." " Sounds nice." " It was so nice, which is why that was just my first relapse." "(Laughs)" "Keep going to meetings, work the steps." " You got a sponsor?" " I'm not very good with authority." "Okay, I am very good with people who are not good with authority." "Okay." "I will warn you, though, sugar." "I have a big personality... and I am so not a role model." "All right." " Mom?" " Grace?" "I didn't know you were here." "I didn't know you were here." "I had to get my choir robe." "I left it 'cause I was supposed to stay here tonight, since that was the plan." "I'm so sorry I had to cancel, honey." "You don't look like you had some big accident at work." "Well, I..." "I am resilient." "Just so you know, there were, like, three different friends" "I could've done stuff with tonight, and I told them I couldn't 'cause it was a mom night." "Sweetie, I so love our nights together." "I would never cancel if I didn't think it was absolutely necessary." "You know that, right?" "Whatever." "Grace, hold on, wait a minute." "What?" "How are you getting to Dad's?" "Look, Grace..." " Who is that?" " A friend from AP bio." "Grace, we have talked about this." "You cannot drive with someone I've never even met." ""Your house, your rules" doesn't really work anymore." " Grace." " What?" " You're in AP bio?" " Yeah." "(Car doors slam, engine starts)" "(Car drives off)" "Hey, Alexa." "Towel, please." " Alexa doesn't work here anymore." " What?" "She got busted for selling drugs in a gym." " How fucked up is that?" " That is fucked up." "Wow, that..." "Hey, you ready?" "You all right?" "Uh, yeah, fine."
