Previously on Nurse Jackie- - What do we got? - Female, 50.
She was hit by a cab.
Oh, Jesus, Helen.
She looked a lot better when she left here last time.
- Remember the picture you took? - Oh, yeah.
Can you send that to me? We do this.
I'm chief, I'm 40.
We're dating.
I've got the D.
E.
A.
on my ass because of my prescription for your pills.
Why are you looking at me like that? That's the thing.
I probably should be looking at you.
What the fuck? What just happened? Dr.
Roman ordered eight units, not 800.
Nancy Wood.
Does that name ring a bell? That's the patient who stole Carrie's D.
E.
A.
number.
- Helen.
- Don't call me Helen.
My name is Nancy.
Nancy Wood.
I'm taking this to Akalitus.
It's going to the D.
E.
A.
What the fuck? You brought a drug dealer to Dads wedding? Jackie, I want you to leave.
What can I do for you, Zoey? We need to talk about Jackie.
Did the check arrive today? No, no, I didn't have my keys.
- I'll go down now.
- Okay.
Is this a bad time? What about Jackie? - Do you need water? - Yes, water, please.
This is hard for me to say.
So, what would happen if, hypothetically I felt it was somewhat possible that Jackie was using drugs again, speculatively? How did you draw this hypothesis? Jackie almost killed a patient today.
How was the wedding? Um, I don't wanna talk about it.
wave of destruction.
Conditions remain severe.
- Two weeks after Hurricane- - Did you bring me any cake? - No, I left before cake.
- Doesn't sound so festive.
was to when repairs to the electrical grid will be completed.
Local hospitals have been hardest hit leaving thousands of patients without- Why does this have to happen? Can't escape nature.
Yeah, but why stay? They had plenty of warnings.
They think they can ride out the storm.
a combination of inadequate resources stagnant water, and unsafe sanitary conditions will only make the health crisis worse- How did Jackie almost kill a patient? She entered the wrong insulin dosage.
- We all make mistakes.
- We do, Jackie doesn't.
- Did you write this up? - No.
What makes you think this is drug-related? Have you witnessed her using? No.
See, uim, I shouldn't have come here.
Zoey, I'm obligated to deal with this now and so are you.
Have you seen her use? No, but her look- you know, she was very- Plus, I got a frantic phone call from Grace tonight.
She said Jackie brought a drug dealer to the wedding reception.
Have you personally seen her use here at the hospital? No.
You have anything else you wanna tell me? Anything that is relevant to Jackie's potential drug use here at All Saints? No.
Still, this is a serious matter.
Legally, I'm bound to follow up.
You know that.
I only want us to help her.
That's it.
I think Jackie needs rehab.
I'm worried for her.
I'm also worried for us.
Jackie, I need your help with an ocular trauma.
Hi, sweetie.
My name's Jackie.
What's your name? Andrew.
My eyes really sting.
Severe irritation from hydrochloric acid.
He was doing one of his chemistry experiments this morning.
Prep saline irrigation therapy.
I will call Ophtho for a consult.
What, are you some kind of mad scientist, Andrew? Oh, he sure loves his chemicals.
How about if we do a little experiment to make your eye feel better? - Will it hurt? - It might sting a little bit.
How about this- why don't you keep track of our progress for my scientific chart, okay? - Sure.
- Jackie, a word.
Okay.
We're just getting started here.
I'm sorry.
Thor, could you step in? Of course.
What about our experiment? Well, lucky for you, Thor here is the maddest scientist of all.
Oh, yes, they called me mad at the university.
I'll be right back.
Have you been treating patients while impaired? Oh, Jesus Christ, Gloria.
This again? Other than what you gave me after you ran over my foot, no.
It has come to my attention that you made a near-fatal mistake- Oh, for Gods sake, Zoey.
While treating a patient yesterday.
Zoey is mistaken.
I will tell you who's working while impaired- Dr.
Carrie Roman.
- Impaired how? - By thinking she's a doctor, okay? You wanna talk about mistakes? Start with Dr.
Roman and leave me out of it.
Sit down.
Jackie, if you've relapsed, you need to tell me now.
If you have a problem, I can help you.
I can get you into a diversion program.
Now, diversion is no wrist slap.
It means mandatory rehab, probation and a sizable pay cut upon your return.
Wow, that sounds great.
Thanks.
But you have to self-admit.
- I am not admitting anything.
- I gambled on you, Jackie.
Okay, I call.
You came into work today, you treated a patient.
I need to test your blood and urine.
Well, you know I will test positive.
The Vicodin I gave you is no issue, but if there's anything else you will be stripped of your ability to ever practice nursing.
You have a choice.
Either admit and enter diversion, or take the test and if you test positive, you will lose your license.
Oh, wow.
What is this, fucking North Korea? It will take H.
R.
one hour to pull your test together.
If you change your mind before then, speak up.
Otherwise- And you're not to touch another patient until this is settled.
Reduce patient's Coumadin level to- - ls that thing off? - Of course it is.
Oh, whoopsie.
You think I'd learn.
I need to tell you something and as chief of the E.
R you need to be able to put aside your personal feelings for Dr.
Roman.
Go on.
Yesterday, a diabetic came in for routine dosing therapy.
Dr.
Roman ordered the wrong level of insulin and nearly killed her.
I was attending, and now Akalitus is after me.
Whoa, this is the first I've heard of it.
I need you to deal with this like a professional.
Unless you feel there's a conflict of interest.
No, no, of course not.
I'm on it.
- I offered her diversion.
- Great.
She's not gonna take it.
Thank you for trying.
Good news.
The doctor says only two more washes and you'll be fine.
I am looking for Zoey.
Have you seen her? Weird, haven't seen her.
We are so glad you're back.
Andrew, honey, how are you doing? This is the worst experiment ever.
Hang in there, honey.
As soon as Thor's done, he can get you your very own pair of lab-certified eye protectors.
You're not gonna finish this? Male, 25, stabbed in the abdomen and thigh.
Hey, I need Jackie.
- B.
P.
, 90 over 60.
Pulse thready.
- Jackie, now.
Step away, Jackie.
All right, on my count.
One, two.
- You have vital signs yet? - Got it, got it.
I want him fucking arrested.
That asshole pegs an ashtray at my TV and then takes a goddamn dump on my Oriental.
Zoey? What are you doing here? - Something happened to her.
- Oh, no, no, no.
I didn't mean to scare you.
Um, this is something that I would never normally do just show up at your place of work.
It's all right, sweetheart.
Are you okay? You need help? Um- I'm worried about Jackie and I know I'm taking a risk putting myself in the middle of your relationship, but we both care about her.
Yeah, Jack and I are done.
Didn't she tell you? No, she didn't tell you.
Yeah, well, she likes her secrets.
Okay.
It's still Jackie and there's some really bad stuff going on with her.
I'm out, Zoe, I'm sorry.
She tore the cloth permanent.
This- There's nothing.
There's really nothing's gonna get me to talk to her again.
- I'm talking to you.
- Ma'am, take your hands off me.
I gotta deal with this.
Okay.
Hey! You wanna add an assault charge? Huh? ls that our goal for today? He took a dump on my rug! Keep it up, I'm gonna shit on your rug too.
So there you have it.
Jackie's made some pretty serious accusations.
What do you have to say? Dr.
Cooper- A nurse working under me made a mistake and as her immediate supervisor, I take full responsibility.
Okay.
As my direct supervisor you know, I trust you'll deal with this fairly and, um, not let the fact that I am- excuse me- carrying your child have any effect on your decision in any way.
But if I'm not a nurse I'm no one.
So? It's diversion then.
With all the shame that goes with it? And the pay cut back to entry level? Fuck.
I can't do that.
I can't do any of that.
So, what are you gonna do? Go back in time.
Can you help me? - You should've come to me.
- I did.
- You have to tell Akalitus the truth.
- I did that too.
Dr.
Roman fucked up the insulin dosage for that patient.
- I was there, you know? - Well, then you know that already.
Maybe you're part of the problem because what I did was exactly- Oh, stop! Just fucking stop! Do you think this is about the insulin? Yes, this is about the fucking insulin.
You used a picture of a dying nun to make a fake ID.
Listen, Zoey- And then you convinced her- the very last thing she did on Earth- to lie for you and say that she was Nancy Wood and that she stole Carrie's D.
E.
A.
number.
Okay, listen, I can- This has got to be hard for you.
What's hard for me is you've been using this whole time.
I can see that you- that that's maybe what you're thinking- You stole a D.
E.
A.
number.
That's a federal offense.
You can go to jail.
If you don't go to rehab I will hand the picture over.
Zoey, I- you have to believe me.
I did believe you.
I always believed you.
Look, this is me you're talking to.
Jackie Peyton, could you come talk with us, please? Jackie, don't do this.
Nurse, my son needs you! Jackie, what the hell are you doing? Hi.
Hi, honey.
Oh, sweetie, where's Fi? She's little, Mom.
I- Okay, Grace, here's the thing.
The three of us just need some girl time.
- Just like the old days.
- The old days sucked.
Honey, let's just spend the day together, okay? All of us.
We can get ice cream and mani-pedis.
- I don't think so.
- We'll go into the city.
Don't you ever just want to get outta here, honey? - All the time.
- Okay, so, then what's the problem? Grace.
Hey, can you go inside, please? Grace, don't you dare go inside.
Stay- I am talking to my daughter.
- Okay, well, I can call Kevin.
- Go ahead and call Kevin.
- Okay, great.
- You need help, Mom.
I need- Grace, hold on a second.
You know what? You ruined my wedding.
Fiona was so upset that we had to cancel our honeymoon to be with her.
It's all I can do to keep Kevin from pressing charges.
What- list- listen, things got out of hand at your wedding and some of that was my fault and I'm sorry for that, but pressing charges? Where is my money purse, Jackie? Okay, that had thousands of dollars in it.
Your money- What the fuck are you talking about? Save your questions for our lawyer 'cause that's who you're gonna be talking to from now on.
Hi, sweetie.
All right.
Boarding pass and some cash.
Flight leaves at 5:45.
Don't be late.
So, I could come with you.
No, I'm in enough trouble.
Maybe you'll be the one person I don't hurt.
Yeah, well- too late.
- Do me a favor.
- What's that? Don't die.
Hey.
Jackie's gonna be in really serious trouble if she doesn't go to rehab.
I know.
Do you know? Do you know what she did? I don't care what she did, Zoey.
You need to do something.
Where did Jackie go? Where she had to.
All right.
Oh, it's all right.
I don't feel like I deserve a hug right now.
You taking responsibility for Jackie was terrific.
Well, I am a professional.
So, when can we tell people? Oh.
I'm, like, two minutes pregnant.
You keep it under your hat, Mr.
Low Motility.
Mmm.
My sperm may be slow, but they are relentless.
Oh, shh.
All done with the saline therapy.
He just needs some rest.
And I need some sugarless gummy bears.
May I ask you a favor? Would you write a recommendation for my nurse-practitioner application? I'm honored to be asked.
You are my second choice.
We're all disappointed, Zoey.
Zoey, meet our new temp nurse.
This is- Rosa.
It's really nice to meet you.
I have so many questions, like when do I- Sit there, don't talk too much, watch what I do.
Can you see anything? Call an ambulance! Save my wife.
We need a doctor! We need a doctor, please! Somebody! She's bleeding! Please, she's gonna die! Please, someone, can you- Please help! I need help! Help my wife! Somebody, please help! Shes closing her eyes! Help, please! - Can you help her? - Okay, do you have a belt? - Give me your belt.
- Yeah.
Hang in there, babe.
You'll be all right.
Okay.
Okay.
All right, honey.
Give me that coat.
Okay, we're here.
We are here.
Help is coming.
Ma'am? Are you in any way impaired? No.
Face forward, please.
