It's a Super Sunday on Showtime with the premiere of Nurse Jackie at 9 p.m., Californication at 9:30 p.m., and Years of Living Dangerously at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
On
Nurse Jackie (9 p.m.), Jackie (Edie Falco) 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. Meanwhile, her daughter Grace (Ruby Jerins), is still experimenting with drugs, unbeknownst to her parents. At All Saints, Dr. Carrie Roman's (Betty Gilpin) probation is over, but Jackie has been assigned to shadow her; and Zoey (Merritt Wever) and Dr. Prentiss (Morris Chestnut) learn that their secret is out. Later at a 12-step meeting, Jackie butts heads with an outspoken Southern woman named Antoinette (Julie White) and when a cocaine addict has a seizure at the meeting, Jackie rushes him to the hospital. As Dr. Roman tries to revive him, Jackie, high on pills, makes a mistake that will knock her out cold.
From his debut in August 2007, Hank Moody (series star and executive producer David Duchovny) quickly became everyone's favorite unflinchingly honest, self-destructive lothario who bowed at the altar of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. The final season of
Californication (9:30 p.m.) will find him joining the writer's room as his never-released film "Santa Monica Cop" now becomes a television series of the same name. He's riled frequently by his boss, the show's old-school executive producer Rick Rath (guest star Michael Imperioli), and his fellow writing team members, including Goldie (guest star Mary Lynn Rajskub) and Alonzo (co-star Alonzo Bodden). But he's thrown by the reemergence of old friend Julia (guest star Heather Graham), whose arrival causes chaos in Hank's already hectic life and with his on-off relationship with Karen (Natascha McElhone) and also with his daughter Becca (Madeleine Martin). Meanwhile, Charlie (Evan Handler) and Marcy (Pamela Adlon) grapple with
The Aftermath of their reunion and an enticing offer from her ex-husband, Stu Beggs (guest star Stephen Tobolowsky). Rob Lowe, Brandon T. Jackson, Oliver Cooper and Mercedes Masohn will also guest star.
YEARS OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY (10 p.m.) is a groundbreaking
