- Jackie visits Bill at his diner only to find that he has no pills for her. While helping Akalitus, Thor helps her face a deeper fear. Two drunk high school girls arrive in the ER after one of them face plants on the sidewalk. Coop is attempting to throw away his childish things that have cluttered his office. Jackie needs to get to Immaculate Virgin to see Grace perform in the Saint Pageant.—Anonymous
- Grace rehearses seriously for her litany production at school. She's all dressed up and practices talking about her saint's resurrection. She flips out on her mom for trying to put wings on her costume.
Jackie meets with her dealer in the coffee shop, but he informs her he's fresh out. He suggests she come by his apartment after work. It's the building with the gargoyles.
A man on some sort of drugs is brought into the ER. The EMT guess angel dust, Zoey thinks PCP, Jackie's money is on "sherm" -- a cigarette dipped in formaldehyde. He's in restraints. Thor draws blood for a tox screen.
Zoey asks O'Hara and Jackie to join her for Indian food, she has a gift certificate. She calls them out for doing an unspoken "I'll go if you go."
"Fine, I'll say it out loud: I'll go if you go," O'Hara tells Jackie.
Mrs. Akalitus visits Dr. Cooper in his office, which is full of childhood toys. He's got his head on his desk, sulking. She warns him her phone is going to be down for a while. He's focused on a diorama he and his moms made when he was a kid.
She tells him both his mothers called him and are worried about him. "This is not my job. You have two mothers, you don't need a third. Get your act together and clean your office," she tells him.
Sam brings the test results from the OD -- the guy's on PCP. Jackie asks him to help the guy. Sam attempts to beg off, saying drug cases are "weird" for him. Jackie asks what his sponsor would say. When Sam answers "be of service," she reiterates.
"You would so kick a--in AA," Zoey tells Jackie. O'Hara winces and excuses herself. "Sore topic?" Zoey asks. "Not for me," Jackie says.
Cut to Jackie breaking up her one pill and snorting it.
Kelly introduces Cooper to two drunk high school girls. They skipped school and one hit the sidewalk with her face. They're impressed he's the one from the ads. They drunkenly say they want to marry doctors.
He tells them he's going to drop some knowledge on them. Kelly tries to save Cooper from himself but he barrels on, saying everything's an illusion.
Carl, an old friend of Kevin's comes by the bar to check on it after the storm. He reminds Kevin to pay a speeding ticket for going 75 in a 35.
At their Indian lunch, Zoey takes out a pen and asks about their friendship. They guess she's gathering material for her blog. She reassures them their names have been changed, to Lady Penelope and Taffy. She asks about Kelly. Jackie implies maybe she doesn't love him.
Cooper brings Mrs. Akalitus an old sock puppet as proof he's purging. He wants a hug. He doesn't get one, so he takes the sock.
Kevin explains how he got pulled over, including the fight with Jackie where she left him on the roadside. Kevin says he was full of rage and didn't even notice he was speeding. Carl asks if Kevin would ever consider stepping outside his marriage. Kevin says no, he made his pick.
Jackie trips over the drunk girl's bag of beer. She yells at Kelly and tell him to check on the PCP Guy. The drunk girls giggle drunkenly.
Kelly sees O'Hara undoing PCP Guy's restraints as he's out cold. He cautions her against it, but she undoes one. PCP Guy starts awake and with his newly free hand, slams O'Hara against the wall. Kelly races over and straps the guy back down and he promptly passes out again.
O'Hara is crumpled on the floor and has the wind knocked out of her, but slowly rises and says she's fine.
Thor tries to teach Mrs. Akalitus how to work her new phone. Her foe Lily Chung calls. Mrs. A doesn't want to answer, saying she left her increasingly hostile drunken messages last night after one too many vodka gimlets. "She makes me feel unaccomplished. She's my Voldemort," Mrs. A says.
Thor asks permission to answer. He picks up, then shouts to "Megan" to see if she can reach Mrs. Akalitus at Mayor Bloomberg's office, where they're having their regular Tuesday lunch. Mrs. Akalitus is overcome. He gets a hug. Cooper walks by and protests.
Jackie empties the girl's beer in the sink as O'Hara examines her emerging bruise on her chest. Jackie hands her a beer.
O'Hara visits Eddie, but opts not to take anything. "F--- it all, I'll live with it," she says. He gives her a hug. Jackie sees.
Jackie steps into the bathroom and answers a call from Grace. She borrowed a friend's phone and is calling from the bathroom. She just wanted to tell her mom she liked the wings she made and she didn't mean to be mean. "It's just that she wasn't an angle, she was a saint," Grace says.
Jackie is choked up. But it doesn't stop her from trying to get the pill residue off the paper she snorted from earlier.
Zoey sits down with Kelly and counsels him about the importance of getting along with Jackie. Jackie walks up. "Hey Slater, you want to take it easy with the jail bait?" He declines to engage her and walks away.
She follows him into the men's room, saying she knows what she saw. He tells her to go through proper channels. "You're f------ high!" he says and storms out.
Jackie visits Eddie in the pharmacy. She asks how O'Hara is, and how he is. Jackie's pacing and anxious but calmly says she thinks O'Hara is in more pain than she lets on. Jackie offers that the PCP Guy is a disaster and she threw her back out trying to restrain him.
Eddie suggests she try pilates. She curses at him and leaves.
Zoey and Cooper wheel a bin full of his childhood stuff to storage. She likes the diorama, but thinks it's a dollhouse. "When I was little, everything had to be perfect or I'd freak out," he tells her.
Jackie walks down a dark street to her dealer's house. Kevin texts, asking where she is. The dealer comes out. Suddenly, a piece of a stone gargoyle head from above breaks off and nearly hits the dealer.
He steps out into the street and looks up -- and is promptly creamed by a truck.
Jackie turns sharply and walks away.
Grace recites her Christina the Astonishing lines. She looks in the audience for her mom and sees her come in the back just in time. Grace carries on. She is the patron saint of insanity and lunatics. The prayer of the afflicted is attributed to her.
Jackie listens, overwhelmed.
