Plot summary

After getting kicked out of Kevin's wedding, Jackie visits Eddie and initiates a sexual encounter with him. Zoey informs Gloria that she believes Jackie is using again, recounting the insulin incident, but chooses not to disclose her findings regarding Helen's fake ID. The following day, Gloria prohibits Jackie from treating patients and offers her an ultimatum: comply with a urine test or enter a hospital diversion program, which will include the temporary suspension of her nursing license. Jackie does not make an immediate decision and instead asks Eddie for help.

Meanwhile, Carrie reveals to Coop that she is pregnant. Zoey privately confronts Jackie, revealing that she knows Jackie made a fake ID and convinced Helen to present herself as Nancy Wood, and threatens to report her unless she agrees to attend rehab. Jackie leaves the hospital and tries to visit Grace and Fiona; Grace insists that Jackie seek help, while Mia lambasts Jackie for ruining her wedding. With Eddie's assistance, Jackie attempts to flee New York with a car full of meds to help hurricane relief victims in Miami. On the way to the airport, Jackie inadvertently crashes her car into an ambulance and is arrested for drug trafficking.
