“To me, the best thing about Elliot is all her extra cash!”— J.D.'s Narration

Contents

[edit] Synopsis

J.D. takes advantage of Elliot who, now that she is in private practice, makes much more money than he. Dr. Cox, angry at her for giving him her patient and leaving, tells her that she is selling out, refusing to "go the extra mile" like her former colleagues who still work for Sacred Heart. When Elliot asks whether J.D. agrees with this assessment, he says that he does, and she accuses him of being jealous. Meanwhile, the hospital starts catering to richer patients, opening a luxury hospital suite. When its inhabitant is transferred to another part of the hospital, Dr. Cox and the Janitor claim the room for themselves so that they can hide from their personal and professional lives. Conflict of character between the two results in competition for the room.

Turk, in the mean-time, cannot persuade Carla to see a doctor about her post-partum depression. He turns to Dr. Cox for help, who in turn invokes his ex-wife Jordan, who convinces Carla that there is no shame in admitting that she needs help. After Elliot provides J.D. and his girlfriend Kim (who is living in Washington) with webcams so that they may keep in touch with one another, he admits that he is, indeed, jealous of her success, and accuses Dr. Cox of the same jealousy.

[edit] Plot Points

  • Dr. Cox and Janitor fight over a new luxury suite.
  • Turk tries to convince Carla to get help with her post-partum depression.

[edit] Recurring Themes

[edit] Fantasies

  • Dr. Cox bringing a goat home for Jordan to eat.
  • Instead of J.D. and Elliot replacing their apartment's floors with wood, they use trampolines and bounce around - which ends in injury.
“I like bouncing...but it is dangerous!”— J.D.

[edit] Flashbacks

  • Elliot finds J.D. taking revealing pictures of Keith in a bus station toilet, and then sending them (most likely to Kim) and pretending it is his own body.

[edit] Janitor story

After Sacred Heart's new luxury suite becomes vacant, Janitor and Dr. Cox hide the room and enter in through the windows and other entrances to the room and relax without interruption from work or other doctors. Soon, the two of them start getting fed up with the other one being in the room, and argue over who should have the room, but Dr. Kelso solves the issue by not allowing either of them in the room.

[edit] Quotes

“You're giving orders to me? O-M-G, Barboo, you make me wanna L-O-L. I just discovered text messaging. I know I'm a little late to the game, but that doesn't mean you're any less of a GABPITAWMMW2D – Giant annoying bangs and pain in the ass who makes me want to die.”— Dr. Cox to Elliot


“Hey roomie, I went shopping. This couch reminded me of my grampa, he used to drive around in a car just like it. You know, until he was killed in that seven car pile-up.”— Elliot
“Seven car pile-up would be a good name for a rock band.”— J.D.
“Yeah, you actualy told me that on the day he died.”


“That's what I've...”— Turk
“If you talk again, I'm going to eat you!”— Jordan


“There really is only one way to end this.”— Dr. Cox
“We each ingest a cyanide capsule. On three; one, two, three.”— Janitor

[Janitor gives Dr. Cox a tablet, and on three the Janitor swallows his]

“No! What are you doing?”
“Mine's a Skittle.”
“Mine too?”
“Sure.”


“Hi, since you're African American, I was wondering if I could I borrow some of your Marvin Gaye CDs?”— Young Boy
“Sure, come on in kid.”— Turk

[edit] Trivia

  • The TV with the webcam that Elliot sets up for J.D. to speak with Kim across country is the exact same TV that Dr. Cox and the Janitor use in the rich coma patient's room, as they even left the webcam on top of it, even though he'd have no use for it.
