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

Those Three Little Words. Retrospective: Nurse Jackie – “Heart”
What a way to open “Heart.” Not only do Frank (Adam Ferrera) and Jackie (Edie Falco) have sex for the first time, but he admits his true feelings for her. What could have been an awkward moment becomes fun with the honest, light-hearted dialogue and terrific delivery by both Ferrera and Falco. Although, I did glimpse a bit of fear in Jackie’s eyes before she turns the light out. Could it be that not all is what it appears to be?
