[edit] Synopsis
Turk has found out about the kiss that Carla shared with J.D. (My Lips Are Sealed) Tensions are high between Turk, J.D., and Carla when they arrive at the hospital. Turk decides he will only be able to get closure on the kiss if he has someone to blame. J.D. and Carla decide they won't play his games, before going to Turk and trying to get the blame off of themselves. In the end, Turk chooses to blame Carla for the kiss and goes on to tell Carla that something is very wrong with their relationship, since she told Turk about the kiss so fast. J.D. is happy that he averted the silent treatment from Turk, before becoming guilty when he sees just how badly it has affected Turk and Carla's relationship. He kisses Turk as a demonstration of his and Carla's kiss and tells him he is also responsible for what happened because he didn't try hard enough as a husband. Turk forgives Carla at dinner with J.D. and Elliot and J.D. decides he's moving out to give them their space.
Jordan worries because her 17 year old neighbour, Pedro, doesn't find her attractive any more. Dr. Cox is given a teaching award and asks Jordan to accompany him but she's injected so much botox into her face that she can't move it into any expression.
Dr. Cox takes Elliot's teenage female patient off her hands as he believes he has formed a connection with her when he treated her in the past. Elliot discovers that the teenage girl Dr. Cox is treating is ill because she isn't taking her medication. Dr. Cox tells her to stop wasting everyone's time, but this only makes the girl cry. Elliot speaks to the girl and finds out that the problem is that the girl wants to be in control of her own medication, so the situation is easily resolved, much to the embarrassment of Dr. Cox. Elliot explains to Cox that all woman still have have that awkward, insecure teenage girl within themselves and he realises that Jordan wasn't being selfish, she is just feeling vulnerable. He decides to stay in with her, instead of going to the awards ceremony, and they eat pizza and watch movies.

[edit] Janitor story
The Janitor approaches Kelso about a change of the design of his uniform. Kelso refuses to listen, The Janitor threatens to "wax everything in your world" after an earlier incident with an over-zealously waxed floor. Kelso relents and presents The Janitor with a new uniform which is essentially identical to his old one, only it's robin's egg blue. However, he soon discovers that no one is afraid of him when he wears his new uniform, even Ted and J.D.. Kelso reveals to The Janitor that he chose robin's egg blue on purpose because it has a calming effect on people. Now no one fears him or takes him seriously--not even J.D.. Tired of the patronizing and infantile way he's being treated in his new blue uniform, The Janitor decide to change back to his old uniform, although he wears the new one when not working, as he likes the effect it has outside the hospital on his own time. He seems to have more of a social life, if only with birds.
