Nurse Jackie s06e05 Episode Script

Previously on Nurse Jackie.
How'd you like to be the couple that could afford to live in one of those places? - Let's be that couple.
- You want to move in together? - Hey, I don't even know your name.
- It's Gabe.
This is way more fun with somebody else.
Should I introduce you as my sponsor? Jesus, God, no.
Then they'll all just look at me funny.
Ike Prentiss gave me a ration of shit for not stepping up.
- Stepping up about what? - Everything.
Hell of it is, he may be right.
You're an asshole, man.
I was sick, and you should be nice to people who are sick.
Hey, fuck you, man.
I was nice.
I need you to come with me.
Grace was picked up for shoplifting.
Mia said I'd look great with bangs.
- Do you know who Mia is? - Mia's Dad's fiancée.
You're Jackie.
Hi.
I'm- Mia.
Yes, hello.
Hello, Mia.
Who needs another beer? Yes, please.
Gracias.
If you want to see my hand, you better raise or call.
Oh! Fuck! The hell were you doing down there anyway? I was trying to hook up some free cable.
Jack.
Can you hand me that? - Wow.
- Yeah.
How about I call Coop and get him to write you a prescription? No.
That's all right.
I'm fine.
All right, tough guy.
Suit yourself.
Jack, I saw you take those pills last night.
Oh, God, Frank.
I'm so glad you said something.
I fucked up.
I've been doing the best I can with Grace getting arrested and Kevin's engaged and I just- I fucking caved.
I hate myself so much right now.
All right, Jack.
Look.
The only thing I know about addicts is how to arrest them.
Okay? I've never slept with one.
I sure as hell never fell in love with one.
So you gotta help me out here.
All right.
Tell me what you need me to do.
I need to know you're going to your meetings and I need to know you're getting better.
All right.
You know what I would have done in the past? Lied.
Sweetie, I have a sponsor.
I am going to meetings.
I am okay and I'm gonna keep on being okay, 'cause I have too much to lose.
All right.
I gotta come clean about something too.
I wasn't in the basement trying to hook up free cable.
I was looking for drugs.
Oh, God.
Listen.
I get it.
I completely understand.
So there's no more? Oh, God, sweetie.
No.
There's no more.
Okay.
I'm gonna take a nice hot shower.
Son of a- If you want trouble You've got it Said you've been thinking all night about it Well, if you want trouble Trouble, trouble If you want trouble Trouble If you want trouble If you want trouble So, meet-the-fiancée dinner.
How are you feeling? Great.
I'm not going.
- Really? Why? - Frank threw his back out.
Oh, no.
ls it bad? - Well- - Oh, I get it.
You're using your boyfriend's back as an excuse.
I don't want to have dinner with my ex-husband and his new fiancée.
Call me crazy.
Jackie, it's one hour out of one night of your life.
It'll be over before you know it.
Fine.
Do I have to do it sober? I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that.
She's just so young and new, and I'm not.
Listen.
This is what you do.
Just make a list of questions to ask her ahead of time.
- What are you wearing? - I'm not going.
- What are you wearing? - I- I don't know.
I have something in the bag here.
You know, whatever.
Why don't you borrow this? I got it in Palm Springs.
It has magical powers.
You're gonna feel so much better when this is over.
Trust me.
- I am not up for this today.
- Me neither.
Let's- We'll go.
Excellent party last night.
I went home, got on the computer and adopted an orangutan.
- Drunk donating? - Yes.
I donated 100 bucks to an autistic surf camp last week.
Now I'm torn.
Was I drunk or showing love to a primate? Just let your feelings, dare I say, evolve.
Well, I'm glad you guys had a good time.
- I just locked that.
- Please.
Nothing locks around here.
I have a tampon if you need one.
Yes, please.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Jesus.
It's a hospital, for Gods sake, right? Okay.
How'd this happen? I caught a ride on the back of one of those horse carriages in Central Park.
It's a blast.
We do it all the time.
Is it a blast for the horse too? - I need a tetanus shot.
- Somebody step on a nail? Someone got stepped on by a horse.
Pulling some jackass stunt.
Oh.
Where would we be without kids and their jackass stunts? Helping people with real emergencies.
Come on.
You never did anything stupid when you were a kid? - I remember in my 20s- - I'm not interested in your stories.
I'm interested in my tetanus shot.
It's coming right up, sir.
- Get him to X-ray, please.
- Yes, Doctor.
Female, 52.
Found her passed out behind a Trader Joe's.
Third time this month.
Her name's Helen.
On my count.
One, two, three.
Whoa! Can you tell us what you've been drinking, Helen? Not enough.
Couple of bottles of mouthwash.
- Hi.
- Mmm.
Minty fresh.
- Yeah, that'd be me.
- Prep 10 milligrams of Valium and 100 thiamine.
--Have you had withdrawals from alcohol before? Yes.
It was terrible.
The more withdrawals, the higher the chance of seizure.
Mmm.
That's not good.
How about we up the Valium? Can't.
We don't know her tolerance.
This is Helen.
What parish are you in, Helen? I'm not in a parish.
I'm in a hospital.
She's a nun.
The only women in the world who wear those shoes are nuns.
I'll go make some calls.
I would like to show you something.
Is- ls it a pie? Yes.
It's a pie with a “Z” in the crust.
- Pancakes.
- With the blueberries meticulously and thoughtfully shaped into the letter Hmm.
And the point is? The point is people are not just one thing.
Yes, Dr.
Prentiss can be intense at work.
It's probably what makes him such a good doctor.
But he also takes the time to personalize my food.
He is very loving and sweet and kind.
Oh.
So- You're doing cleanup on your boyfriend's shitty behavior.
What? Oh.
You're kidding.
I love it.
You've got that dry sense of humor.
It's like you're actually mad.
Or you actually are mad.
Guy can be a dick sometimes.
Dr.
Prentiss is used to an intense work environment.
This is New York City, honey, not Falluja.
What part of being a really serious emergency room doctor is a bad thing? The asshole part.
You're dating an asshole, Zoey.
Can someone please turn down the lights? We need the lights to examine you, sweetie.
Here.
How about this? Good.
Thank you.
What is she doing? She's praying.
She's a nun.
What? Shit.
Fuck.
- What's wrong with you? - I can't- I can't- Nuns hate me.
Carrie, she's barely conscious.
She's not gonna do anything.
Okay.
- Who is that? - That's Dr.
Roman.
Why is a doctor dressed like that? Uh, please forgive me, Sister.
I liked it and ii was on sale.
Oh.
Right.
She's seizing.
She's in full-on withdrawal.
It's only gonna get worse.
Protect her head.
Not much you can do.
Helen? You okay? It's okay, Carrie.
She's not gonna hurt you.
Minty fresh.
I've got batik, butterflies batik butterflies or plain blue.
Give me the blue ones.
Oh, squirrels.
- People really like squirrels.
- No.
God.
No animals.
Belt.
Now I'm gonna be traumatized all day.
Feel like I have to do good deeds.
Why don't you like nuns? They made me cry every single day of eighth grade.
Wow.
Uh- Can you- Thank you.
Come on.
Hey.
- Hi, Frank.
- Hi, girls.
What- What are you guys doing here? We're here to walk the dog.
Slippers.
Where are you? Did you hurt yourself or something? Nah.
Back's just a little touchy.
Us all that chasing-bad-guy stuff.
Well, you can probably find some painkillers around here somewhere.
Hey.
How you doing? You staying out of trouble? No more shampoo heists? No.
You know- I pulled the same shit when I was your age.
You stole conditioner? No.
Hot dogs.
Hot dogs? A whole case of Hebrew National hot dogs.
And I didn't have half the shit going on that you do.
You know, your dad getting remarried and all.
- Must be kind of weird, no? - Not really.
My dad's happy.
Why? ls my mom, like, freaking out about it? No.
In fact, we're having dinner with them tonight.
Your mom's looking forward to it.
And you believe that? - What do you mean? - I mean, you didn't know my mom before.
You didn't see how she could be on tons of drugs and act completely normal.
You could never tell how she feels about anything.
She's, like, the best liar in the world.
So Grace said you're having dinner with Kevin and Mia tonight.
Yes, lam.
I was just wondering if maybe you wanted, you know, backup.
I could come with you as a wing woman.
Frank is coming with me.
lt'll be fine.
Trauma, now.
Everyone.
Scaffolding collapse in Midtown.
Six critical patients incoming.
This is big! - Bays two, three and six are cleared.
- Good.
- Move Mr.
Darnell to the old hallway.
- Got it.
Get Dr.
Roman! Final number is five.
They lost one at the scene.
All right.
We're ready.
Let's do this.
People, as you were.
Crisis has been diverted to Si.
Luke's.
What do you mean, diverted? E.
M.
T.
's seemed to think St.
Luke's is better equipped.
Better equipped? What the fuck? Not our call, Dr.
Prentiss.
Not our call? No, this is some bullshit, man.
All this stuff.
All this stuff right here is just bullshit.
Let me be pissed, okay? I used to get to do more.
Didn't have to wake up and wonder if I was gonna matter.
I knew that I was gonna fucking matter.
Now they got me dealing with punks getting stepped on by horses while the real traumas are being diverted to these so-called better equipped hospitals.
Why am I even here? Everyone thinks I'm a pain in the ass.
And they're right.
Birds like you.
An old nurses' trick.
Should bring you some relief.
What is that? Vodka? Close enough.
Pure alcohol.
Ah.
Everybody thinks nuns are perfect.
We're just like you.
Nobody's perfect, Helen.
But I will tell you this- You keep this up, it's gonna end badly.
It already has ended badly.
- I'm 52.
I live in a park.
- What about the church? I devoted my life to the church.
I walked the straight and narrow.
It wasn't for me.
And I wasn't for them.
I just want to rest.
I'm not sad.
I just want people to leave me alone.
Just leave me be.
Drinking makes me happy.
And when I'm happy, I can sleep.
All right.
Well, let's just focus on tonight.
Just get through that.
See how you feel tomorrow.
It might be better.
Are you one of those life coaches? Me? No.
No, I'm just a nurse.
There's no such thing as just a nurse.
Whoa.
I like this hospital.
Good.
I've got a nice warm room for you upstairs.
People! Well, not all people.
Ladies.
Dr.
Roman has brought an important matter to my attention.
It seems as though there is a relic in the women's bathroom that is not only out of order, but apparently of no use to anyone.
I have had maintenance remove it.
Soon we will have something we can actually use- hand dryers.
You're welcome, sister.
Is she wearing scrubs with heels? - Yes.
- And a belt.
It's so good.
Oh.
Fuck.
They move Helen upstairs? She said she was discharged.
Helped her with her coat.
Fuck.
Yes.
You got to be fucking kidding me.
Hey, you.
- How's your back? - You need to come home.
- What happened? - I'm not going to this dinner.
We need to talk.
Well, I'm kind of busy right now.
- Then get someone to cover for you.
- I'm a nurse, Frank.
It doesn't work like that, okay? I'm gonna go.
I'll call you later.
Jackie, you stay on this phone.
I'm serious.
Listen, I am with a patient right now who's in a lot of pain.
- Let me call you back, okay? - Jack- Don't worry about the dinner.
Just take something and lie down, okay? Jackie.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hi.
You busy? I am now.
Soft Rock .]
So I'll leave it up to you Guess I'll leave it up to you You look great.
Are we going out? I'm having dinner with my ex-husband and his new fiancée.
You want me to come with, make him jealous? No.
It's probably not a good idea.
Hmm.
Anybody using that? She's not here.
Try it on.
It's hot.
You want to borrow it? Sure.
Okay.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
Frank was so sorry he couldn't be here tonight.
He- He loves dinners.
- Rag & Bone? - I'm sorry? Your jacket.
ls it Rag & Bone? Oh.
I thought you were talking about something on the menu.
Oh.
Oh.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Is that Frank on the wheelchair ramp? Honey.
Oh.
I thought you weren't gonna come.
Oh, Jack.
My back.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I am so glad to see you.
I can't even talk to her.
Everything I say comes out crazy.
- We need to talk.
- Okay.
Can it wait till after dinner? It can, but you're not avoiding me this time, Jack.
I'm here.
I'm not trying to avoid you.
Why the hell did you take the bus? - Because I spent 20 minutes looking for a fucking cab.
- Oh.
- Hey, man.
- Hey.
How are you? - How you doing? You okay? - I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm so sorry about the way you found out about the engagement.
Oh, no.
It's fine.
It's just Grace pushing buttons like she does.
Yeah, she's intense.
But she's so smart and focused.
You know, I see really good things for her.
And Fiona.
I mean- God, she's such a little love bug.
- So when is the wedding? - Oh.
We're thinking soon.
Get you guys something to drink to start out? No, I'm fine.
Thank you.
Thanks.
- I'm fine too.
- I'm good, thanks.
Water's fine.
Thank you.
Hey, guys.
It's completely fine for you to drink around me.
As a matter of fact, I wish you would.
Uh, actually- We have some news.
Jackie, um- This means so much for us to be sharing this with you.
Okay, uh- We really just met, and I guess life is kind of funny 'cause now here we are all together.
And I just love Grace and Fiona.
They're your girls, of course.
Don't get me wrong.
But they've accepted me, which makes me even more excited about our news.
Can I say it? We're pregnant.
We're gonna have a baby.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
That's great.
All right, Jack.
Look.
So you want to move in? Yeah.
