Jackie's fake identity is compromised - but she's got more pressing problems to deal with: she's on her last bag of pills, Frank has just moved in, and her sponsor Antoinette is hounding her about her sobriety. Meanwhile, Prentiss plans a big night out with Zoey, but their date is cut short when she suspects that something is wrong.
Nurse Jackie is a half-hour dark comedy that is at turns wicked, heartbreaking and funny. Edie Falco stars as the title character Jackie O'Hurley, a strong-willed and brilliant - but very flawed - emergency room nurse in a complicated New York City hospital. A lapsed Catholic with an occasional weakness for Vicodin and Adderall to get her through the days, Jackie keeps the hospital balanced with her own kind of justice. Every day is a high wire act of juggling patients, doctors, fellow nurses and her own indiscretions.
