Nurse Jackie: Previewing Season Finale "Healthcare and Cinema"
Monday, August 24, 2009
Tonight's the season finale of Nurse Jackie, and it looks like Jackie'll find herself getting into too many things at the same time--that, and the whack of life at the All Saints ER starts to complicate things a bit.
First up: Kevin invites her to a meet-up at midnight, and the only intention here is to give her the new diamond ring he's been looking for last week. So sure, she says she'll come.
Next up: O'Hara, that irrepressible Brit, asks Jackie to help her fly her mother in and admit her into the hospital, now that she's slipped into a coma. So sure, she says she'll help. Why is it that I already smell some scheduling conflict here?
Little detail: Zoey inadvertently pushed that movie critic into a coma, but she doesn't have much to worry about now. He wakes up, but the coma has led to a change in his taste in movies. For instance, Showgirls. I did not know it can do such things.
Explosive detail: Eddie. Last week wasn't so good for him: he sees Jackie and her family, and he loses his job to a machine. Instead, he spends his time drinking and, perhaps in a fit of frustration, makes a scene at All Saints--and threatens to reveal everything. Jackie's definitely on the line here. Is it goodbye to her drug-spiked coffee and those old trysts at the pharmacy, or what used to be it?
Victor Garber returns as a guest star on the season finale of Nurse Jackie, airing tonight from 10:30pm on Showtime.
