[edit] Synopsis
After Elliot goes back to Sean (right after cheating on him for J.D.), J.D. who is filled with emotions, decides to start up a relationship with Danni again, who is now a chain smoker, alcoholic and very rude. Elliot is also filled with numerous emotions; she feels guilty but knows she made the right decision, but is also annoyed with J.D. for going back to Danni so quickly. Meanwhile, Dr. Cox realizes he has a crush on Dr. Miller and tries to get her attention by cheering one of her patients up by inviting their band into the hospital. However, in the end, instead of being with blond Dr. Miller, he is seen having a beer with a now-blonde Jordan.
During all this, Turk and Carla are going around trying to fix everyone's problems with advice from a couple; them. They try to help J.D. with his problems with Elliot and Danni, Dr. Cox with his crush on Dr. Miller and Janitor who is having problems with Dr. Kelso messing with the emergency exits. J.D. and Danni then realize that they don't like each other, and are only continuing to date because they would rather date someone they don't like than be alone. While Dr. Miller's patient's band is playing, everyones problems come to a solution - not all of the solutions for the good.

- According to the DVD Commentary of My T.C.W., this episode is named what it is to poke fun of the fact that when the writers are writing the "summaries" for the end of the episodes, they often make silly ones that don't make sense. Bill Lawrence joked that some of them were like "The hard thing about making choices is sometimes they're hard to make" and "The thing with decisions is you have to make a choice", which spawned the idea for the episode name.
