Plot

The pressure of hiding her addiction is beginning to take a serious toll on Jackie. Meanwhile, Grace's friend Mandy tells Jackie that Grace is receiving an award at school that day. Before the girls leave the house, Mandy bullies Grace into letting her stash her party drugs in Grace's room. Meanwhile, Jackie arrives at work only to be ambushed again by Antoinette, who confronts Jackie about her use and makes a harrowing confession that spurs Jackie to get sober. After white-knuckling it through the morning, Jackie asks Eddie to find her some Suboxone - a controversial withdrawal drug - and he reluctantly agrees. Meanwhile, Akalitus attempts to cheer up Zoey by naming her nurse of the month. Over a patient, Zoey and Carrie clash and then actually begin to build a bond. Coop's dream of becoming chief has finally come true. Just as Jackie's at the end of her rope, Eddie comes through with the Suboxone. Jackie takes it and heads to Grace's awards ceremony, where she is shocked to learn that her daughter has started an Al-Anon chapter at school. When Grace gives a speech about how difficult it is to be the child of an addict, Jackie is devastated but supportive. That evening, she discovers the stash of Oxy in Grace's room and after a full day of being sober, takes a handful. When Frank comes home, she confesses that she's high. Furious, Frank walks out on her. Jackie lets him go and then, suddenly terrified of losing her entire life again, chases him down and begs him to help her get clean.
