While helping Gloria park her car in a tight spot, Jackie intentionally stages an accident by sticking her foot out so that Gloria will run it over. Afterwards, Jackie claims that she can acquire pain pills through an NA-approved prescription that would be administered by Gloria. Convinced, Gloria gets a prescription for Vicodin from Coop, but states that it is for her own arthritis as a precaution. When the DEA arrives at All Saints for their investigation, Gloria informs Jackie that her mandatory urine test will be delayed until her foot is healed. Frank reconciles with his two young sons and introduces them to an ambivalent Jackie.
