[edit] Synopsis
J.D. is absent for the majority of this episode as he is kidnapped by Janitor and detained in a water tower. When Janitor frees him at the end of the episode, he resumes narrating.
Janitor meets a patient suffering from locked-in syndrome; when his computer, his sole method of communication, breaks, Janitor decides to spend time with him to keep him company. Janitor then helps Carla hold a patient's legs down after an intern makes a mistake and the patient has a seizure. Janitor boasts the story throughout the hospital, until he overhears one doctor explaining how Janitor is telling everyone the story because he never usually makes a difference around the hospital. Janitor confides in his new friend, the locked-in syndrome patient, that although he acknowledges his job isn't of utmost importance, he became a janitor in a hospital becausee felt like part of a community that helps people. Janitor tries to fix the patient's computer and breaks it further. Then, at the end of the day, the patient receives a new computer from Dr. Cox - and to Jantior's surprise and happiness, the patient uses it to thank him for keeping him company through the day, and Janitor realizes that he has in fact made a difference in the hospital.
Meanwhile, Dr. Cox accuses Turk of not truly being black, causing Turk to ponder his identity. Turk reveals to Carla that he knows he is black, based on how others treat him, but he is worried about how his life will change when his baby is born.
Elliot gets tough on her interns, believing they need to grow up on their own and stop making mistakes. Meanwhile, Carla helps these interns, much like she once helped Elliot, reminding Elliot that she once needed Carla's help to grow confident as a doctor.

[edit] Quotes
- “You're black? Because last time I checked you have a nerdy white best friend, you enjoy Neil Diamond, and you damn sure act like a black guy. These, my friend, are all characteristics of white guys. And, please understand, I'm a huge supporter of the NAACP and if you don't know what that stands for, it's the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People...and quite frankly, I always thought they should change the "Colored People" to "African-Americans", but then of course it wouldn't be the NAACP, it would be the N Quad A or 'NAAAA', and I know, this probably sounds like a digression, but actually leads me back to my point: do I think you're black? Naaaaaaahhhhhh!”— Dr. Cox
- “Dr. Turk is unaware that Lonnie used to play All-Conference at Villanova.”— Laverne
