[edit] Synopsis
A patient of Sacred Heart Hospital sets up J.D. for a blind date with her niece Julie Quinn who, despite her stunning beauty, is quite the klutz. Nonetheless, everything is going great as the date continues at Elliot's apartment where, as Elliot predicts, J.D. spoils a romantic moment. Elliot coaches J.D. on how to avoid ruining his relationship with Julie, including how to handle a romantic moment and to break his habit of moving too quickly. While he follows her romantic advice, he succumbs to his old habit and buys a half-acre block with Julie.
Dr. Cox is under pressure from various aspects of his life, most notably his family as Jordan pushes him to be a caring father, specifically to kiss their son Jack. Seemingly exhausted, Carla reassures him that he can be that father.
Ted and the Janitor are auditioning hospital staff to join their air band, The Cool Cats. Lloyd joins them on drums and The Todd auditions for lead vocals but is overshadowed by Turk who easily impresses the Cool Cats with his performance of "Poison" by Bell Biv DeVoe. Later, Turk mocks Dr. Kelso, driving Kelso to prohibit air banding in the hospital. Janitor explains to Turk that Kelso wants respect and when Turk apologizes, Kelso ends the ban on air banding.
As the episode comes to a close and all the matters are sorted out, the Cool Cats perform "More Than A Feeling" by Boston.
