Complete story — includes the ending
On her birthday, Jackie and Kevin remain at odds over custody of the girls; Kevin insists on primary custody unless Jackie can resolve her long work hours. Coop is thrown off when Gloria announces Prentiss as the new ER chief. Carrie dismisses a returning patient with back pain as a pill addict, but Jackie and Prentiss discover that the patient actually has sepsis incurred from her previous hospital visit. Jackie receives a gift of birthday flowers from her father but refuses to accept them; Jackie later calls Charlie's phone and leaves a voicemail confiding about her day. Gloria begins to experience memory lapses, and Jackie takes advantage of Gloria's memory loss by tricking her into signing off on a shorter work schedule. Still hoping for primary custody, Kevin pushes for psychological testing on the girls. Jackie deters Kevin by asking Fiona to draw a picture of their family, a notable psychological assessment, and pointing out that Fiona has drawn Kevin separately from Jackie and the girls.
