While a pretty good -- especially for this show -- Elbow song plays, Nurse Jackie does her usual drug-seeking, drug-hiding, drug-addict thing around the house; then she goes to lunch with Eleanor. They catch up on how things have been in the short interval since Jackie chased her best friend out of the house with a meat cleaver for suggesting she might have a drug problem, then threatened her with stalking if she didn't get back in line.

Jackie: "Yeah, so Grace is good, and of course Fiona is having a ball at her new school you thought you were paying for. Oh, and we've got Kevin's random sister sleeping on the couch or in various beds. She's not at all as annoying as you might think, but there's still no reason for her to be in this show. My total paranoia has me thinking that Kevin brought her in to keep an eye on me, but that's fine because she's a total trainwreck anyway."
Eleanor: "Well, since you broke my heart and I went looking for other jobs, Mrs. Akalitus got real scared and offered me a meaningless title that only Fitch Cooper would care about."

Jackie: "That'll be fun to watch. So yeah, so great! Hopefully that will help me manipulate you into staying for sure?"
Eleanor, verbatim: "I don't do empty titles. My uncle was an Earl, it ruined him."
Jackie: "I don't believe you answered my question."

Eleanor: "...No, I'm no longer looking for other employment."
Jackie: "I love how I get away with everything all the time. It's a really satisfying narrative, not at all repetitive or empty for the viewer."
Eleanor: "Just, next time you're having a drug-related freakout, could you point the gun at somebody else? I'm happy overlooking your unsatisfactory behavior as long as it only hurts your children and other loved ones."
Jackie: "Can do, good buddy! I don't really care about them either."

White Anglo-Saxon Member Of The Patriarchy: (Oppresses.)
Jackie: (Humiliates.)
The Universe: (Heaps praise on her.)
Repeat: ad infinitum.

Nurse Zoey is acting like a meth-head, having been given her first double shift. She is both good at her job, and squirmy/wonderful to be around, as usual, but at twice the volume and carrying a pedometer that talks more than she does.
