Too Good to Be True? Review: Necessary Roughness – “Gimme Some Lovin’” 21

They weren’t kidding when they entitled season three’s premiere “Ch-Ch-Changes.” There were so many changes in the premiere from the previous seasons, my head was spinning. But now that I’ve had a chance to think about things, I’m glad the powers that be are taking Necessary Roughness in a different direction. With Dr. Dani (Callie Thorne) now working at V3, a sports and entertainment management agency headed up by Connor McClane (John Stamos) and his business partner CFO Troy Cutler (David Anders), she will now have access to more than just the New York Hawks’ star receiver Terrence “TK” King (Mehcad Brooks) and his teammates. But why did Nico (Scott Cohen), who is now head of security at V3, get Dani the job in the first place?

Happy and Sad Times. Retrospective: Nurse Jackie Season Finale – “Soul” 23

So here we are, skidding into the season finale with Jackie and Frank’s relationship up in the air, Jackie and Kevin dealing with an extremely troubled Grace who is imitating her mother’s drug habit, and Jackie insisting both daughters should live with Kevin. And let’s not forget the sexual romp Zoey and Prentiss engaged in last week, and Coop’s hurt feelings where Carrie is concerned. “Soul” addresses all these issues, and so much more in an episode that simultaneously leaves you both happy and sad.
