We start off in Kevin's bar, with Gracie bandaging Mommy's finger that she had to smash to hide her secret family from her boyfriend. Awww.
Then Jackie and Gracie race off to dance class, where they once again run into Kevin's evil ex-girlfriend and her horrible child, Caitlin. The brat is really rude, and keeps purposely bumping into Gracie so she'll mess up. Jackie finally has enough and tells Caitlin to knock it off.
This leads to an escalating cat fight between Jackie and the ex-girlfriend that ends with Jackie screaming the F-word for all the little virgin ears to hear, and them she stomps out of the building, dragging along mortified Gracie. Well, Jacks, I'm sure that will help your relationship a LOT.
Meanwhile, Keven and Fiona have dashed off to the jewelry store, where Kevin is planning to not just FIX Jackie's ring, but to buy her a fancy new one. I'm sure Jackie won't feel any guilt over that at all.
At the hospital, the staff is being shown how to use the new automated drug inventory system. They didn't get the Pxyus after all, instead settling for the much cheaper Pill-O-Matic, or something like that. Bottom line, the tiniest medication item is now being monitored. Jackie practically wipes away silent tears.
She does run into Eddie in one of the hallways, and he gives her a potent stash as a going-away present, and ends with "love ya". Oh boy.
Then we have Coop grilling Zoey, trying to get the scoop on what Jackie likes, and whether or not she is seeing anyone. (Zoey: "She likes gum.") Great, so now Jackie apparently has two men sweet on her, on top of, you know, having the secret husband and all.
Jackie and Dr. O'Hara are outside while O'Hara smokes, and they spy Coop running into his little girlfriend. Coop tells the girl that he has to break up with her because "I kissed someone else." (Which is actually noble, but I still don't like him.) The conversation does not end well, and Prissy stomps away in her couture.
Coop turns, and waves at Jackie like a little boy. O'Hara immediately busts out with a belly laugh. Jackie: "I hate you."
Next thing you know, Coop brings in flowers and a pack of gum for Jackie. She is not interested, and does NOT want this to go any further.
In comes a new patient, a film critic, and the celebrity factor gets a few of the staff all giddy. Except for Jackie, who is not particularly fond of some of his reviews, and she tells him so. Looks like they are not going to be best friends. Zoey ends the scene by asking "Why are cats so underused in the film industry?"
The unwanted flowers and gum are on Jackie's desk, so she promptly takes them directly back to Coop. He is not going to give up easily, because he's reading a lot more into their relationship than she is. Coop: "You reached for something safe."
Zoey is working with the film critic patient, and they are having a conversation where it's becoming increasingly clear that he's just an ass. He is not a nice man, and Zoey's parting glare at him was worth a rewind.
Momo is working with another patient, and we learn two things. One is that Momo is terrified of spiders. And two, that some spiders can live in your ear and you can't get them out without help. Nice, eh?
While shopping in some posh boutique, Jackie and O'Hara are chatting about how Jacks is going to deal with the sudden influx of men in her life. I don't really hear everything they say, because O'Hara apparently doesn't bother with dressing rooms and is trying on tops right there in the middle of the store. Jackie and the mannequins are stunned.
Jackie gets back to the hospital, finds Coop's flowers once again on her desk, and she throws them in the trash.
Then there's some serious drama, when the film critic suddenly goes into arrest. O'Hara quickly discovers that Zoey has given the patient far too much of some medication. Jackie orders Zoey off the floor while she and O'Hara get to work.
Jackie is talking to a sobbing Zoey in the bathroom, trying to explain to her how serious this is, when Gloria, the hospital admin, storms in and yells for both of them to get to her office NOW. Before following the other two, Jackie pops some pills, probably the industrial-strength gift from Eddie.
Later, Zoey is sitting with Momo and Thor at some pizzeria, lamenting her possible fate. Zoey: "The only thing I wanna do besides help people, is NOT kill them." Momo and Thor try to cheer her up with horror stories from the own past, when suddenly Zoey looks at Thor and blurts out: "Oh My God! You're gay!...... I just got that." Then she shoves an enormous piece of pizza in her mouth.
Eddie finds Jackie in the hospital, wants to share something. They go to the Pill-O-Matic, and he shows her that if you simply unplug the machine, it will reset as if no medication has been taken from the inventory. Jackie's eye sparkle with wanton lust.
Now that he has her attention, Eddie tells Jackie that he still wants a relationship. That he wants more than what they have now. Jackie's eyes lose a little bit of the sparkle, but she keeps smiling.
As she prepares to leave, Jackie drags the flowers out of the trash and plucks off some of the roses. Arriving at Kevin's bar, she gives both Fiona and Gracie one of the roses. Fiona is thrilled, Gracie just glares at it like a dead bird just fell from the sky. Then Jackie walks over and kisses her husband.
Outside the bar window, we see Eddie, watching Jackie greet her family.
Oops.
