[edit] Synopsis

Dr. Cox announces that since midnight he hasn't had a patient in the ICU die. He plans on having a perfect 24 hour stretch where no patients die. He delegates most of the responsibilities to J.D., ignoring Elliot's request to help. Later, when J.D. is asked by Dr. Kelso and Ted to watch a social worker who slipped on a wet floor, J.D. asks Dr. Cox to give Elliot some responsibilities. After she gets yelled at for second guessing Dr. Cox, J.D. tells her that it is alright to second guess Dr. Cox, and that it makes her a better doctor. At 11:55pm, Elliot and Cox fail to resuscitate a patient, and he dies - spoiling the perfect game.

Meanwhile, as J.D. keeps Alex company during her MRI, the machine breaks and she gets trapped inside. They flirt, and J.D. wonders if she is cute or not. After getting no helpful answers from co-workers, he decides to take a chance and ask her out.

Turk and Carla argue while they help a patient, Mike Davis. Mike tells Carla that he thinks Turk is done with their relationship. As it turns out, Turk gets frustrated with Carla easily, but admits he loves her.

“My heart hates Uggos”— J.D.

“I don't find her pretty; but since my wife left, when I look at a woman, I find it hard to see past the evil.”— Ted

[edit] Trivia

• This is the first time in the series Dr. Cox calls Elliot Barbie.
• For DVD release of Season One a different song is played instead of "Easy Tonight" due to licensing issues. "Easy Tonight" still is in syndication episodes however. But, if you view the Audio Commentary for this episode on the DVD the song still plays in the background with the episode as Bill Lawrence and Zach Braff watch.

[edit] Title explanation

J.D. agrees to go on a date with a patient whose face he hasn't seen.
