These two, Eve Best as ER 'Chief O'Hara' and Paul Schulze as 'Eddie' are an unlikely pairing yet they have in common a deep attachment with/to Jackie (Edie Falco). Which sort of seems a starting point.
What 'role' does Jackie fill so well that both these characters chose to protect Jackie from the consequences of facing her painkiller addiction or in Eddie's case, enable Jackie's addiction?
Looks as if O'Hara may soon step into that role. We'll see. It just seems Eddie is still hurt enough by Jackie now refusing to be intimate with him that he's not going to dispense free drugs for Jackie, like he used to.
O'Hara OTOH, is best friends with Jackie as well as a close colleagues. She desperately want to help Jackie to sobriety...but what will be the cost to their friendship?
Nurse Jackie - Episode 8: 'The Astonishing' Promo
I thought this episode was so awesome that I couldn't wait to watch Episode 9 (so I did. I have a screener--but I'd been watching along with the televised schedule, mostly). Truly, the ending is going to keep you wondering all week what is next for Jackie.
Small Nurse Jackie Spoiler Ahead:
When Episode 9 airs you will not be disappointed. It is every bit as mind-blowing as this episode leads you to anticipate.
So much seems different this year on Nurse Jackie because a lot has changed for the Edie Falco character, Jackie Peyton.
There have been times when watching the pardon me, crazy shit that Jackie does, that I've wondered if she's truly lost it and won't get it back. But so far these 3 seasons she has kept going, if only by the skin of her teeth.
It seems now more than ever that the end is closing in on Jackie, the end of her charade of not believing herself an addict.
I think it is going to get more intense, then the last episodes of the season will just go 'boom'. I'm pretty sure I've guessed part of the end. There are ominous hints about it in episode 8. At this point I'm wondering how the hell it is gonna happen and seem believable. It is that off-the wall-sounding!
We shall see!
