At the end of Season 1, Jackie’s (Edie Falco) struggle to keep her dual lives appeared to be in jeopardy as Eddie (Paul Schulze) discovered the truth about her marriage and children – forever contaminating Jackie’s pristine separation of her work life and her life at home. Season 2 picks up a few months after she has cut ties with Eddie and all seems well in Jackie’s world as she is determined to spend more time with her husband (Dominic Fumusa) and two daughters (Ruby Jerins, Mackenzie Aladjem).

With Eddie out of the picture both personally and professionally, her access to drugs has diminished, but her cravings have not. Back at All Saints, Dr. Cooper’s (Peter Facinelli) newly vaulted stature within the hospital becomes a constant source of irritation to Jackie. Zoey (Merritt Weaver) continues to model herself after her hero, Jackie, while Dr. O’Hara’s (Eve Best) biggest challenge may be the realization that her best friend and confidant has been less than truthful with her. Sam (Arjun Gupta), a male nurse, who last season seemed to recognize Jackie’s addiction, has joined the staff full time creating yet another obstacle for her to navigate. All of this transpires under the ever watchful eye of hospital administrator Gloria Akalitus (Anna Deavere Smith).

Last season, Jackie’s extreme measures to keep her life on balance was a high wire act. In Season 2 the wire only gets higher.
