- O'Hara lurks waiting for Jackie. She says they need to talk and Jackie blows her off.
Eddie walks into work - which appears to be how Jackie learns Eddie is back. She wants to get out of work early because her family is going on a trip.
Jackie sees the man who she stole her pills from as he was having a seizure. He's in the waiting room. She hides in the bathroom and as she calls Kevin and asks him to get the girls and leave now, she transfers her pills to a floss container.
Cooper wakes up shirtless in a woman's bed with a cat on him. He's at Sam's girlfriend's. But she wants to break up with him because he's a nurse.
Jackie and Kevin drive with their girls and Grace actually seems cheery for a change. Jackie's stash of pills in the floss container falls out of her pocket in the car.
Back at work, O'Hara learns that Jackie has left for the day.
Zoey turns away a man who's there's too late to get his methadone.
Cooper treats a guy from Quizno's who accidentally stabbed himself in the leg. The kid sheepishly explains he has Tourette's and gets nervous around women and usually just hits himself. Cooper comes close to saying he has the same thing, but bites his tongue under the eyes of the nurses.
In the car, Grace asks why they're going to the country. "To see what the day brings," Jackie explains.
Jackie is cheerily enjoying being with her family and taking a break from work when she realizes her pills stash is missing. The happy cloud leaves.
Back at the hospital, the methadone man pesters O'Hara for his drugs. Mrs. Akalitis shoes him away, saying she has no tolerance for drug users.
Just then the dealer Jackie helped during his seizure comes looking for her, bearing flowers. When he sees Mrs. A's administrator tag, he asks who he might speak to about donating money to the hospital, explaining that one of the nurses saved his life.
Zoey treats a straight-off-the-plane Irish couple. The man has what looks like a bad rash on his leg. Cooper thinks it's just an allergic reaction, but Zoey notices it doesn't itch and hurts the man when she touches it. His veins are also purple. She tries to get Cooper to take a second look, but he's too wrapped up in his allergic reaction to the cat that woke him up.
She goes to O'Hara instead.
Jackie paws around frantically for her pills under the car seat but can't find them. She ignores O'Hara's call.
O'Hara drops in on the Irish.
Cooper goes to Eddie for allergy meds. He's fired up because Jackie is gone and Eddie is back. Eddie doesn't ask about the allergies but Cooper tells him about sleeping with Sam's girlfriend anyway.
At the shore, Jackie and Kevin end up at a bed and breakfast when their hotel is over-booked.
Sam comes by the pharmacy to get meds, seeming obviously glum. He tells Eddie his girlfriend is blowing off his calls, and the last time she did this there was another guy. Cooper comes back for his pager and Eddie enjoys watching him twist.
At their B & B the girls aren't thrilled there's no TV and Jackie is starting to suffer from not having her pills. The B & B owner tells the girls there's a TV downstairs. She notices Jackie not looking so hot and offers her some Schnapps.
Cooper treats the Quizno's Tourette's guy and tells him about his own Tourette's. "Believe me when I tell you I know what it's like to lose a girl over an involuntary neurological response," he says.
OHara finds the clot in the Irishman's leg, from his long flight. It could have leg to a pulmonary embolism and killed him. She gives all the credit to Zoey.
The B & B owner reads from the Bible to the girls, but is silly about it. Kevin and Jackie decide she's "f----- weird."
Jackie tells Kevin she wants to go home. He agrees. She's deep into withdrawal, shivering and clammy.
Back at the hospital, the methadone man is begging for his drugs. Cooper rails at Thor for ignoring him and writes a prescription. Cooper's shouting about how nobody cares but him and Zoey mutters that he missed a pulmonary embolism.
O'Hara and Akalitis go out for a drink.
Jackie and Kevin take the girls home. The girls start "I Spy" again in the car. Fiona notices that O'Hara called her mom's phone and she calls her back. O'Hara asks Fiona if she's seen her new school yet as Jackie demands her phone back.
Kevin realizes what's going on. He stops the car and reminds Jackie that she promised him she wouldn't take O'Hara's money. He gets out and starts walking down the road.
Grace thinks he has to be inside the car to play the game. But Jackie explains, "this one has different rules."
