After spending much of its past two seasons repeating itself, Showtime's hospital dramedy has shown vital new signs of life. Jackie's cleaned up its act by sending Edie Falco's drug-addicted caregiver into rehab and forcing her to face the consequences of her actions, including her affair with Eddie (Paul Schulze).

Rehab may be for quitters, but for one of TV's most complicated characters, it could also be the last resort.
"She has reached a level where something has to happen... it's either death or change," says Nurse Jackie star Edie Falco of her character's Season 4 foray into a detox program. Whether she actually cleans up, however, remains to be seen. "It looks like at least the beginning of her attempting to let go of this lifestyle," Falco says.
