Not that she looks it, mind –– she's in pajama pants and a tank-top, the legs of her pants tucked into the tops of her boots, and her hair is pulled up into a messy ponytail. But if her disheveled state can attest to anything, it's that the clinic is prepared, a gurney is near the door for when Jesse gets in, and there's Dr. Jennifer Keller standing ready with a rolling lab tray full of things Tess can't identify. There's oxygen and a defibrillator and the right kind of drugs.
Everything they need to get one stupid, ignorant, arrogant, inconsiderate junkie back in working order. God damn it, Jesse Pinkman.
Tess tries to tell herself she'll be kind and won't hold his addiction against him, but truth be told, she wishes she'd just talked Joel into letting her chain Jesse to a tree out in the boonies so he could dry out the old-fashioned way. Better that than an overdose, she'd insisted, but hey, as long as he could cook, what did she care?
When Joel shoulders through the door with Jesse in tow, Tess is already wheeling the gurney towards him to meet him half-way.
"Details, everything you've got," she says to Joel as they get Jesse in, and Tess puts one of the kid's wrists into the cuff of a restraint and she buckles it tight. "Get the other one." She's already looking to Jennifer for direction.
