Seeing no other alternative Jackie attempts to flee New York but a car crash on her way to the airport prevents her from making her get away.

Dr Roman informs Coop she is pregnant, and that he's the father.

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 Dad's 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.

As 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, um, 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 God's 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...

- Is 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? Is 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!

She's 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.
