NURSE JACKIE: 1.7
“STEAK KNIFE”
Jackie tells Dr. O’Hara that they decided to send their daughter Grace to the private school “Immaculate Virgin”. Dr. O’Hara offers to pay for the school, but Jackie refuses. Before they enter the hospital, Jackie notices that Dr. O’Hara is wearing two different shoes and asks if everything is alright, O’Hara shrugs it off as if it was not a big deal.
A new patient named Zak is brought to the ER with multiple stab wounds to the chest. The patient’s date, a young woman named Lori, reveals that they were on their first date when her ex-husband showed up despite a restraining order and stabbed her date.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Akalitus discovers a baby in a baby car seat. When she asks for its parents, no one answers.
Dr. Cooper joins Dr. O’Hara and Jackie who take care of the stab wound patient. Jackie wants to send him away, but Dr. O’Hara tells a surprised Jackie that she prefers him to stay. Soon later, she tells Dr. Cooper to take over for her and leaves the room.
Jackie visits Eddie who texted her several times. He has a present for her, a bracelet, because it’s their anniversary. Jackie gets the date wrong (apparently she mixed up her and Eddie’s 1 year anniversary of having sex together, with her and Keith’s wedding anniversary), and when she doesn’t want to wear the bracelet, Eddie gets angry, apologizing that it’s not made of Vicodin, and takes it back from her. This pisses Jackie off and she tells him to keep his bracelet AND his pills.
Elsewhere, a child molester has been admitted, and Zoey needs Jackie’s help because she can’t take out the man’s katheder. When Jackie finds out the man is a child molester, she removes the katheder with a quick yank, causing the patient to scream in agony. Mo-mo who witnessed Jackie’s behavior orders her to go for a walk. She reveals she is upset because she had a fight with her boyfriend after she forgot their anniversary. Mo-mo, stunned to find out Jackie has a boyfriend, asks why she never told him. “Because you do all the talking, hun.”
When Dr. Cooper is in Eddie’s dispensary for lunch, he swoons over the bracelet Eddie got for Jackie, and tells him to keep it. Later, Jackie talks to Lori, the friend of the steak knife victim Zak. She reveals that Zak is the first nice guy she met and after what happened she believes he won’t want to go out with her anymore. While this is all happening around her, Mrs. Akalitus walks through the hospital, still looking for the baby’s parents, and
Jackie notices that Dr. Cooper is wearing the bracelet Eddie wanted to give to her.
Jackie seeks Dr. O’Hara in her office to pour her heart out to her. Jackie tells her about the bracelet and the anniversary she forgot. Meanwhile, Dr. O’Hara takes a Xanax and Jackie wants to know what’s going on, but Dr. O’Hara still refuses to tell her. However, she offers Jackie a Xanax pill. While Dr. O’Hara looks away, Jackie takes more han one pill out of the box and hides them in her pocket. After Jackie has swallowed the pill, O’Hara advises her to clean up her mess. Jackie goes to see Eddie and apologizes. She asks for the bracelet, but tells him that she doesn’t want to wear it at work. Eddie agrees and takes the bracelet away from Dr. Cooper, who for my money was strangely too enamored with it in the first place!
Mrs. Akalitus still hasn’t found the baby’s parents, but is trying to keep it entertained by shaking a paperclip holder as a rattle, when Jackie approaches her and takes a paper clip out of the baby’s mouth. It’s at this time Mrs. Akalitus announces that she is informing social services about the baby.
Jackie checks on the steak knife victim Zak. She asks him to let Lori see him, but he refuses because he thinks it’s too dangerous. Jackie decides to increase his morphine dose. While he’s floating on his morphine cloud, she talks at Zak and tells him to see Lori and gives him Eddie’s bracelet to give it to Lori. Jackie sends Lori to his room, when O’Hara appears and tells her that her day wasn’t easy and she will be alone after work while Jackie will be going home to her family and Jackie invites her over.
At home, over a bottle of scotch, O’Hara talks about her trouble with her step father that has bothered her all day. The next morning, Fiona is making coffee for her, when O’Hara notices an unpaid bill from the water and power companies on Jackie’s kitchen table and puts it in her purse. Soon after, Jackie and Kevin enter the kitchen, as well as Grace in her uniform of her new school. While O’Hara helps Grace with her hair, Kevin spies the bill in her purse and takes out. Without saying anything, Jackie asks Kevin not to make a scene, but it’s pretty obvious to me that he was pissed.
So what’s up with Dr. O’Hara? How long can Jackie keep up her affair with Eddie before Kevin finds out? How will Grace cope in Catholic school? Will Mrs. Akalitus ever find the parents of the baby left at the hospital?
Keep it here!
And Until Next Time, thanks for reading and your comments are encouraged and more than welcome!

Gotta love that Celia. Poor
WEEDS SEASON 5: EPISODE 4
Stephanie is able to take her Mom home, and Jackie makes sure they don’t leave without a goodie bag from the pharmacy, and her cell number in case Stephanie ever has any problems with Mom. Jackie’s stroke patient’s family becomes to hard to handle and they don’t think she’s doing enough for her husband, so Jackie makes up some notecards for the man so he can tell his nagging wife to “Shut the F**K UP! Seriously.” Mrs. Akalitus accidentally tasers herself when she finds a taser lying about the hospital floor. Back at home Kevin informs Jackie that Grace had a complete meltdown when her pencil lead kept breaking, and receives a call on her cell from Stephanie that her Mom was having problems moving her arm. Jackie instructs her to take one of the Percocets (little blue pills) she gave her, cut 1 in half and give it to her with some juice. As we see Jackie talking Stephanie through the procedure, we see Jackie doing the same thing at home, and afterwards tells Stephanie, “She’ll be fine!”
of Showtime’s original series, Nurse Jackie. In Episode 4, or “School Nurse”, a 7-year-old boy is rushed to All Saints Hospital after falling from playground equipment. Zoey tries to comfort the boy’s mother and twin brother, which stirs up memories for “Mo Mo” whose twin brother died when he was 1-year-old.
In “Machetes Up Top”, Nancy receives a message from Guillermo and must visit him in prison without Esteban finding out. That means ditching the goon that Esteban has keeping Nancy “company”. During her visit Guillermo blames her for the DEA finding ans shutting down his magical tunnel, which she denies. When he finds out that she is “with child”, namely Esteban’s, he tells her she is doomed to find herself dead in some landfill with her lady parts cut out, since she is not Esteban’s wife and only the knocked up whore whose life and the life of her unborn child are of no meaning.
