[edit] Synopsis
Things have changed recently for J.D., he is currently living in a hotel after the ceiling of his apartment collapsed, Turk and Carla are trying to make a baby and Elliot is working at a new hospital. Turk then starts sneaking J.D. into his apartment without Carla knowing. Dr. Cox is getting frustrated with J.D. now that they are both attendings, particularly when J.D. wears exactly the same clothes as him. The new interns then arrive at the hospital, and J.D. thinks about what it must be like for them, and we then see through Keith's eyes as he tries to find the courage to talk. Dr. Cox then gives J.D. five man cards, which will be taken away from him everytime he does something feminine, just a few seconds after this happens, one of them is taken away from him. Meanwhile, Carla tries to convince Elliot to make friends at her new hospital, but Elliot is more concerned with not getting any help from anyone in the hospital - by running back to Sacred Heart to grab supplies as she doesn't want to ask anyone where the supplies are in her hospital.
As Turk and Carla are trying to make a baby, Turk decides he doesn't want a baby and starts secretly giving Carla birth-control pills, but Carla then finds one in a brownie that Turk made for her. J.D. also catches someone out, as he finds out Dr. Cox has been telling J.D.'s interns how to treat a patient, a way that J.D. does not think is right. J.D. tries to confront him about this, but Dr. Cox just walks away - and the same thing happens when Turk tries to confront Carla. Elliot then reveals to Dr. Kelso that she doesn't work at the hospital anymore and that she has been stealing hospital supplies and Carla finds out that J.D. has been sneaking back into the apartment. Carla gets annoyed with her three friends for not being able to move on, Turk for not wanting a baby, J.D. for not being able to start living on his own, and Elliot for not being able to make friends at her new hospital. Carla then manages to convince Turk that having a baby isn't so bad, after telling him it's like having a dog that learns to talk. Dr. Cox tells J.D. that there's a slight possibility that J.D. will have a new year. By the end of the episode, Carla and Turk prepare to make a baby, Elliot sits down for lunch with her new co-workers, and Keith finally manages to find the courage to speak to J.D.

[edit] Trivia
- It is shown in this episode, that J.D. speaks Turkish, or just enough to keep Omar from stealing his pudding. he says "o benim muhallebim ömer" in turkish. But the headdress Ömer is wearing is actually Sikh.
- Syndicated airings of this episode usually cut out the J.D.'s "o benim muhallebim Ömer" quote.
- The "horse hospital" scene is a reference to the comic strip "The Far Side". The patient shot is named Mr. Larson after the author of the cartoon, Gary Larson.
- Elliot makes Kelso believe that she still works at Sacred Heart. However, her lab coat obviously has the logo of her new hospital on it.
- Keith's perspective makes him appear shorter than most of the characters, although he is taller than them when he is finally shown in (My Rite of Passage) and beyond.
- When J.D. shuffles Keiths hair, the hair that falls infront of the camera is blond and long, although in later episodes we can seen Keiths hair is dark and short.
