The Peyton’s meet with Grace's psychiatrist Dr. Bowen. During the meeting, Grace asks to be put on medication. They agree to try it. Dr. Bowen asks Kevin and Jackie if there's anything going on at home she should know about. At work, Jackie asks Eddie if he can fill Grace's prescription, he's cagey. Akalitus pulls Jackie off a case and tells her that she's putting her on probation based on an inquiry that has come down from HR. Jackie asks her not to tell any of the other nurses she's onprobation and she immediately interrogates O'Hara. O'Hara and Jackie argue in front of the staff who immediately takes sides. O'Hara pulls Jackie aside and tells her she'll help her keep her cover (she'll handle meds so no one will notice Jackie's probation). Coop asks Akaltius if he can reserve the chapel for his wedding—he's on the fast track down the aisle. O'Hara tells Coop she's offended he never even considered her as an option. Jackie calls Kevin to see if they can all be home to support Grace as she takes her medication. Kevin promises to be home but doesn't make it back until after Jackie is asleep and slips into bed unseen.

Edie Falco is "outstanding" (Time Magazine) as Jackie Peyton, a nurse trying to survive the chaotic grind of saving lives in a hectic New York City hospital. Sharp-tongued and quick-witted, Jackie's a woman of substance who knows how to handle it all. With a white lie here, a bent rule there, and a steady dose of pain relievers for her chronic back pain, Jackie does whatever it takes to get the job done. See why critics call NURSE JACKIE "wildly entertaining" (TV Guide Magazine) and "a habit well worth acquiring" (The Washington Post) in these bitingly funny episodes from the first season of the groundbreaking series.

Edie Falco stars as title character Jackie Peyton, a drug addicted emergency room nurse in a New York City hospital. For Jackie, every day is a high wire act of juggling patients, doctors, fellow nurses and her own indiscretions. The second season of the Showtime Original Series NURSE JACKIE continues its look deep inside the complicated heart and soul of a functioning addict, a loving wife, mother, and a first-class nurse.

Still high and mighty! Jackie's best friend and husband put the pieces together about her pill-popping ways and confronted her about her addiction. But if the people in her life think one little intervention is going to stop her, they don't know Jackie.
