“Hello. I'm Dr. Reid. Dr. Elliot Reid. I'm a doctor.”— Janitor

Contents

[edit] Synopsis

Elliot with Janitor, pretending to be a doctor

There is conflict as J.D. is in a relationship with Neena Broderick, the lawyer who's client, Harvey Corman, is suing Turk for malpractice. After seeing proof that Harvey Corman used to play tennis (horribly, although he had a very powerful serve), which is now affected by the malpractice, Dr. Kelso decides to settle the case. J.D. then goes to Neena with the intent of breaking up with her, but she used her strong personality to keep him from breaking up with her, and they instead have sex on the same table that she was sat behind when she won over Turk. Meanwhile, Dr. Cox gives Turk a speech on how life is pointless, which Turk repeats to a shocked young boy wanting to become a doctor - making Carla mad at Dr. Cox, J.D. and Turk.

Elliot, meanwhile, is having problems with her new and very sexist patient, Mr. Summers, who believes that "Elliot Reid" is a male doctor, rather than a female doctor. Elliot, who can not reveal her new identity because she will get sexist remarks, pretends that "Dr. Reid" is very busy and that she is doing what he is telling her until he can arrive. However, after Mr. Summers demands to see "Dr. Reid", Elliot gets Janitor to dress as a doctor and act the part - which creates problems when Janitor starts making up fake cures for the condition - such as amputation.

Dr. Cox is forced to play tennis with Harvey Corman

After Jordan tells Elliot that Dr. Cox is annoyed that Elliot doesn't need him as much anymore, she realizes the power and confidence she has - and tells Mr. Summers who she really is and to "deal with it". After Turk and Carla catch J.D. having sex with Neena, he decides he needs help breaking up with her - and finds the strongest woman he knows, Jordan, who agrees to break up with Neena for him if he stretches out her new jeans. After losing the battle against Jordan, Neena leaves the hospital, taking a very happy Todd with her. And to get revenge on Dr. Cox for giving Turk the "life is pointless" speech, she makes him play a game of Tennis with Harvey Corman. J.D. realizes how much power that strong and confident women can have.

[edit] Plot Points

  • Turk deals with getting sued by his patient, who's lawyer is J.D.'s girlfriend.
  • Elliot uses Janitor to pose as Dr. Reid for her sexist patient.

[edit] Recurring Themes

[edit] Fantasies

  • All the doctors sprint to Dr. Kelso's office, taking each other down in the process, so they can get a case from Dr. Kelso. This possibly happened in actuality as Elliot knocks over a guy named Craig, who holds a grudge against her when she is picking out someone to impersonate her.
  • J.D. pictured himself as a janitor when the Janitor complains about his job.
  • Jordan is wearing a witch hat and cackling, while everyone runs, screaming; when the fantasy is over, the audience sees Jordan playing with a witch hat and that it was her fantasy instead of J.D.'s.
  • J.D. gets a tattoo of Neena's face on his stomach, and the back of her head on his back.
  • Jordan and Neena dress in sweatsuits, wielding swords, and fight each other.

[edit] Flashbacks

  • J.D. and Neena are in a restaurant for dinner, and she demands he is quiet while she eats, and she also refused to buy him any food because he left his wallet at home, and even forbids him from taking free bread.
  • J.D. is chucked out the car after sex, half-naked, and Neena drives away and chucks the rest of his clothes out the door.
  • Dr. Cox gives Turk some advice, accidentally crushing his spirit:
    • He walks Turk down a corridor explaining how the only thing more pointless than life is being a doctor.
    • Dr. Cox shows Turk a sweet old lady, and says how even she would sue him if she could.
    • Dr. Cox explains to Turk and a bunch of children how the rabbit is hidden in a compartment in the hat in a magic show.

[edit] Janitor story

Janitor helps out Elliot by pretending to be 'Doctor Elliott Reid' to deal with a sexist patient.

[edit] Trivia

  • In the fantasy where J.D. gets the tattoo of Nina on his chest, you can tell that it's fake because part of her hair overlaps onto his jeans.
  • At the start when Carla throws a pancake at J.D, it hits him like a spinning frisbee between the eyes, however in the next shot it is flat on his face.
  • In J.D.'s fantasy about Jordan and Neena fighting, They are wearing suits and using swords similar to those used by 'The Bride' in the Kill Bill films.
