So another workday so only time for one episode again. Not only that, but I actually had to waste time cooking to feed myself, so that left me with only half an hour.
That being said, today I watched Nurse Jackie S3.E7 - Orchids and Salami
What I saw:
Jackie is a pretty self-righteous person, believing she has all the right answers to help other people. Now, due to her many years of experience as a nurse she is right most, if not all, the time in the hospital. Up to this point she has felt pretty confident in her personal life too. This episode highlighted how she is not not so sure of her choices when it comes to her personal life.
Sam is her foil when it comes to her addiction because he is open about his previous use and is getting help for his addiction. Jackie avoids and dislikes him for this very reason. However, in this episode Jackie has a mirror held up to her when a mother is brought in by her 11 yr old son for an overdose. She hands off taking direct care of the son to Zoey in order to avoid looking into that mirror. Near the end she talks to the son to give an update and tries to justify the mother's actions instead of talking from her self-righteous podium like she normally would, and is shut down by the son who screams "she's an addict! That's all there is to it!" Jackie cannot argue differently because that is exactly what is going on with herself as well.
What do you think about Nurse Jackie's journey through addiction? Who are your favorite characters (mine is Thor, he's just a badass teddy bear)? Answer in the comments below!
