[edit] Synopsis

As Turk and J.D. head to a strip club for lunch, they meet a group of protesters. A news team is covering their protest, and while an anchorwoman is interviewing the interns, the cameraman passes out. J.D. and Turk resuscitate him, and are named heroes by the news channel. Dr. Kelso thinks it would be a good idea to milk their fame a little and makes billboards and posters with Turk on them. Turk gets upset that he is being portrayed as the "black doctor" hero, and gets the posters taken down.

At the same time, all the interns are scheduled for evaluations. After Elliot scored an A++ on her evaluation, J.D. gets nervous when he finds out Dr. Cox will be evaluating him. When asked about the evaluation, Dr. Cox tells J.D. that he is too busy to evaluate him, and tells J.D. to fill out his own evaluation form. After J.D. stands up to Dr. Cox the next day, Dr. Cox agrees to evaluate him. During the evaluation, Dr. Cox rips into J.D., stating his biggest problem is that he is insecure about himself. Unbeknown to J.D., at a meeting with the board of directors Dr. Cox gives flying reviews of J.D..

Meanwhile, Elliot is bored and J.D. asks Carla to let her tag along on an outing of hers. When Carla introduces Elliot to Patricia and her son Darryl, Elliot makes a fool of herself. Carla then tells them that they would have to cancel their plans. Later, at the bar Elliot drinks alone. Carla and Patricia walk in, and Elliot storms out. The next day, Elliot decides to go out for a night on the town by herself, but when she arrives downtown, she is frightened by the homeless and other scoundrels. When Carla apologizes the next day, Elliot throws herself a pity party. Eventually, Elliot and Carla get on better ground when they realize they are at Sacred Heart for the same reason - caring for other people.
