Nurse Jackie Recap 2.12 – Years of Service
We pick up exactly where we left off with Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) walking alongside the car and Jackie (Edie Falco) trying to convince him to get back in. The kids are confused and Fiona (Mackenzie Aledjem) asks Kevin if he is having a temper tantrum. Jackie is fed up and answers that, yes, he is having a tantrum and she slams the gas and leaves him in the middle of nowhere. At home, she is... [Read more]

Nurse Jackie Recap 2.10 – Sleeping Dogs
This episode gives a peek into the vulnerability side of Dr. Cooper (Peter Facinelli). We already knew he was a crybaby when it comes to his image, and we are reminded of this in the very beginning as his eyes well up while they cover his posters with a new advertisement. It hurts him so badly that he offers to pay Akalitus (Anna Deavere Smith) for the advertisement to continue. Later,... [Read more]
Nurse Jackie Recap 2.9 – P.O. Box
I find it interesting that Jackie (Edie Falco) spends the episode judging other people because of their secrets when she has the biggest two of all – her addiction, and her affair with Eddie (Paul Schulze). Arguing with Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) about money (or lack thereof) on one hand, and not being able to afford the private school for Fiona (Mackenzie Aladjem) on the other hand is giving... [Read more]

Fiona’s (Mackenzie Aladjem) busted lip is the opener of this episode and she is oblivious to the fact that her 2nd grade teacher is concerned about it.

The teacher is convinced and Jackie... [Read more]
Nurse Jackie Recap 2.7 – Silly String
Finally Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) speaks up about his hidden issues with Jackie (Edie Falco) always being distant while he plays Mr. Mom.

He wanted to take her to urgent care and she wanted to stitch her up in the kitchen,... [Read more]

She indulges him a bit then tells him it’s too weird to discuss her kids and... [Read more]
Nurse Jackie Recap 2.5 – Caregiver
The episode starts with Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) sleeping soundly and Jackie (Edie Falco), obviously just getting home from working late.

Nurse Jackie Recap 2.4 – Apple Bong
A furious Jackie (Edie Falco) goes to the pharmacy and warns Eddie (Paul Schulze) to stay away from her family. Eddie tells her he just simply misses her and that he can’t just turn it off like she can. He tells Jackie, “You know what your problem is? You have a lot of pent up anger”. She replies with an evil eye, “You have no idea”, and destroys a pyramid display in an aisle.... [Read more]
Nurse Jackie Recap 2.3 – Candyland
The opening of the episode appears to be someone preparing cocaine for snorting. We are giving a close up of a knife in a powdery white substance being cut and divided. However, the pan out from the camera shows the watcher that it is really a knife skimming flour off the top of a measuring cup in preparation for cupcakes. We see Grace (Ruby Jerins) and Fiona (Daisy Tahan) baking with their... [Read more]
Nurse Jackie Recap 2.2 – Twitter
The episode opens with Jackie (Edie Falco) trying to ease Grace’s (Ruby Jerins) obsessive compulsive mind from feeling like the house is going to burn down from the iron not being unplugged. Jackie is clearly disturbed because her eldest daughter is so worried that she saved her allowance for the purchase of a new smoke detector that even detects carbon monoxide as well. She even went... [Read more]
Nurse Jackie Recap 2.1 – Comfort Food
Nurse Jackie Season 2 opens with Jackie (Edie Falco) seemingly in the same position as she was when season one ended – laying down on her back in a drug induced world oblivious to what is going on around her. We hear Aretha Franklin’s “Say a Little Prayer” and at first it actually appears to be a direct continuation of the Season 1 Finale, but then the watchers are brought back to... [Read more]
