“Girl Problems? You look like you got problems, you're a girl, hence girl problems.”— Janitor

[edit] Synopsis

Having broken up disastrously in the previous episode, J.D. and Elliot try to avoid each other around the hospital. J.D.'s distress isn't made any easier when he finds out that his favorite high school teacher -- who wrote the reference that led J.D. to go into medicine -- recently died. His reaction to the news is typical J.D., though: he cracks a joke about it.

That same day, Dr. Cox gets angry and destroys Franklin's lab when his test results don't come back on time. That night, he goes to J.D.'s house and takes him to a bar (dragging J.D. out in his pajamas) where they spend the night drinking, and Cox tells J.D. that he can't take it anymore at the hospital. But, much to the confusion of J.D., Dr. Cox comes to work the next day in a good mood. When J.D. confronts him about it, Dr. Cox explains that everybody needs to release their emotions at times.

Meanwhile, Turk asks Elliot to help him with his studying, but leaves him when The Todd claims that she was only picked for being a geek. Later, Turk explains that he chose Elliot for his partner to encourage her and J.D. to make up with one another. The two do just that, and the episode ends with J.D., Elliot, Turk and Carla throwing food off the roof of the hospital, much to the Janitor's horror.

“We're out here because if I go home and go to sleep, the only thing I'm going to be able to think about is that I gotta get up tomorrow morning and go back to that place. And you wanna know something, pal? I got nothing. Honest to God, I got nothing. I'm cooked.”— Dr. Cox


“My God, I'm drinking with a mouseketeer.”— Dr. Cox about J.D.

[edit] Trivia

  • When Elliot and Turk are talking about (and watching) Red Dawn, she talks about the Russians invading Michigan. In actuality the film is about Russians invading Colorado.
  • The Janitor alludes to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness when he says "the horror" in regards to the scattered food in the parking lot.
  • Dr. Kelso first mentions his dog, Baxter.
