Season 1, episode 5
“Daffodil”
Air date: July 6, 2009

On tonight’s episode of Nurse Jackie, the All Saint’s staff continues to work its magic with patients, whether it’s kosher or not:

• After Dr. Cooper nearly blows it, Jackie and Zoey speak to a young girl whose mother suffers from lupus. Jackie bonds with the 10-year-old girl, who is the main caregiver for her mother, and later breaks hospital rules to try to help her family.
• Mrs. Akalitus has an incident involving a stun gun.
• After Zoey works her first night shift, Dr. O’Hara takes her out to dinner as a reward. O’Hara is mortified by Zoey’s wide-eyed behavior — until Zoey reveals an astounding secret about her family.
