Jackie yells at everybody for awhile; continues to itch.
EMERGENCY
Patient Two: "I got beat up for bothering people about the Madagascar lemur, because anybody with a clipboard deserves what they get."
Zoey: "I sort of have a crush on you or something, except not really. This is that episode where Lenny and I consider our relationship from various angles. A fresh new take."
Jackie, in Eleanor's face: "You told everybody I was a huge drug addict!"
Eleanor: "Stop it. Right now. We are at work."
Jackie: "ITCHING."
Eleanor: "Seriously, you are crossing it."
They both start crying and Eleanor orders Jackie out of the room. It's like the first time Jackie's just plain fucked up, and she's like a rat in a cage, and it's a powerful moment because you feel like you're actually allowed to side against Jackie this time. I sure hope Eleanor doesn't hold this shit against her in forthcoming episodes!
Zoey: "Everything okay?"
Eleanor: "Stay the fuck out of it. There are dimensions to this conflict that would melt your face like the Lost Ark."
Zoey: "I don't think so."
Eleanor: "I know, and that is one of the things that is great about you usually, but in this case it's about getting everybody out alive, so drop it."
Zoey: "I literally cannot."
They both start crying and Eleanor orders Zoey out of the room. To her credit, Zoey does a very chill maneuver where she's totally losing it, but just orders -- in a pretty Jackie fashion -- Kelly to take over for her without explaining, babbling or otherwise Zoeying out. Probably the best moment in the whole episode (although the ending is pretty killer too).
