Jackie's now a week clean, and finding reality not-so-awesome. Grace wants to go on pediatric Xanax, which sounds like a great plan -- since she's, you know, nuts -- except for how her mom is a huge drug addict, and this is a shortcut to getting there. Jackie takes it pretty hard, and Eleanor and Eddie commiserate with her about this latest thing; eventually Eleanor gets it taken care of.
The HR situation escalates; Jackie can't administer meds for some reason having to do with Gloria wanting to do damage control. Jackie is totally ashamed, which is nice to see, but probably won't last; it only takes about three seconds for her to figure out Eleanor was the one who told Gloria about her drug issues.
Zoey and Thor -- who's gotten his braces off! -- spend the day abusing the hospital's doctors in the name of flu shots, but it's a serious reprimand from O'Hara that breaks Zoey's brain for good. She starts flirting with this monkey-obsessed do-gooder who's pretty cute, in a fivehead way, but is no Lenny, and then Lenny gets involved and they sort of fight.
Everybody feels bad for Eleanor -- because fighting with Jackie is so harsh for a person to deal with -- but there's only so much you can do. Eleanor eventually takes her down for it, and Jackie continues crying and being embarrassed. Later, Gloria assures Eleanor she wasn't to blame, and Grace indulges in weirdness on a whole new level while waiting for her drugs to kick in, so Jackie's somehow found her level after all.
Akalitus engages Coop's services as a hostage negotiator to get her statues back; he's into it because he wants the chapel for his birthday-slash-wedding. Eleanor talks Coop into hitting on her, and it's super funny but also pretty random; mostly it just seems like an amazing story for her to tell Jackie later, which makes it awesome.
