[edit] Synopsis
J.D. becomes a father when Sam Perry Gilligan Dorian is born at Sacred Heart. Prior to the delivery, J.D. rode on a roller coaster of emotions. First, he talked with Turk how he hoped one day he would find himself in love with Kim. When he is paged to the hospital, he agrees to give Kim the epidural as painless as possible. However, he runs out of time because he and Kim talk about their relationship. Kim eventually figures out that he doesn't love her, but hopes to one day. She then breaks up with him because she doesn't want him there only for the baby's sake. He is kicked out of the delivery room, and later after being talked to by Dr. Cox and seeing Dr. Kelso comfort his son on the phone and Turk and Carla, he enters the delivery room uninvited, but stays to watch his son be born.
Turk has bought a new video game, which Carla blames for taking time away from Izzy. He declares that he must beat it before she takes it away. Under the excuse of supporting J.D., Turk sneaks away to the hospital to beat the game. He enlists the help of Janitor. Carla finds him and becomes upset. However, she turns out to be very talented at the game and ends up helping Turk finish the game. She explains that she too needs an escape from the stress of parenting and has beat the game multiple times already.
Elliot and Keith are still fighting after their breakup, and he acts repulsed every time he sees her. Elliot does let this get to her, and ends up helping Kim deliver the baby when J.D. is kicked out of the room.
Dr. Cox takes Jennifer Dylan to the hospital to find a doctor he trusts to give her a shot. He is afraid of his child associating him with pain, and would not do it himself. He asks the pediatrician Dr. Callahan to give her a shot, but he doesn't because he is "Dr. No Shot" and doesn't like to be associated with pain either. Dr. Cox eventually gets Keith to help him after refusing to let Boon touch his child and finding out that Carla is shaking with anger.

[edit] Trivia
- Kelso and Janitor are friends at night.
- Nurse Shirley and Sam Dorian makes their first appearances in this episode.
- Carla talks about Warthogs and Jackals while playing the video game, both elements of the Halo universe. However, the game that Turk and Carla are playing is not Halo, it's Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (that wasn't even released for the Xbox 360 at the time being). Also, on the screen only one player shows up, but Turk says 2 people are needed to play (and still the two of them are playing simultaneously).
