“Sink or Swim” Series 6, episode 1
Jackie is back to using drugs again, but she‘s doing it differently this time. She‘s maintaining a ‗clean and sober cover‘ going to NA meetings, and never stealing pills from the hospital. She’s even going to the gym in the morning—and getting her drugs from the locker room towel girl. We see that Grace, who is now living with her dad, is still secretly experimenting with drugs. Meanwhile, at All Saints, Jackie is assigned by Prentiss to ‗shadow‘ Carrie now that her 3 month probation is up. Zoey finds out that everyone knows about her ‗secret‘ relationship with Prentiss. At a 12-step meeting, Jackie butts heads with an outspoken Southern woman named Antoinette. When a cocaine addict has a seizure at the meeting, Jackie and Antoinette end up riding in the ambulance back to All Saints together. Jackie rushes the man in to be treated by Dr. Roman. When Dr. Roman calls ‗clear‘ and uses the defibrillator paddles, Jackie, off her game because she‘s high, still has her hand on the patient. She‘s knocked out cold. When Jackie comes to, she has a chance to get Dr. Roman fired, but instead admits it was her own mistake. Jackie then lies to the family of the now-deceased cocaine addict, saying he was not using drugs. Jackie connects with Antoinette and the women hit it off, so much so that Jackie accepts Antoinette‘s offer to be her sponsor. The next morning, Jackie goes to the gym only to find out the Towel Girl has been fired for dealing. Jackie‘s lost her source.
