“Well, you look fantastic! And, you know, I don't mean "Hey, dude, check out that hot bitty at the bar!" 'fantastic' -- I'm talking about "I'm sorry for your loss" 'fantastic'.”— J.D.

[edit] Synopsis

Jamie Moyer's husband dies, and J.D. goes to see her at the funeral They end up having sex, but J.D. is worried that Jamie is not ready for another relationship yet.

Meanwhile, Jordan asks Dr. Cox to watch the baby for a while. Cox becomes very bored during the watch, and the next time Jordan asks of him to babysit the kid (who she wants to name Quinn after her father, despite Perry insisting on Jack), he instead makes up an excuse for why he can't do it.

Turk, in turn, is having problems of his own when he keeps having sex dreams of Elliot. He eventually confides it with her, and makes her swear not to tell Carla, who he knows will turn into a jealous wreck. Carla ultimately finds out, not from Elliot, but from one of Turk's patients who heard him discussing it with The Todd. She gets mad at first but quickly calms down later that day and reassures her would-be husband that it's perfectly normal to have these dreams when engaged. When they are about to go to sleep, and he asks her if she has any such dreams, she says no, only to turn and see Ted in Turk's place, confirming that she and Turk are in the same mind.

J.D., meanwhile, is struggling with telling a German patient who speaks no English that he may have pancreatic cancer. It doesn't help that he later finds out from Elliot, who turns out to be fluent in German, that the patient's brother whom he used as a translator had, in fact, withheld the information of the potential illness from his brother. However, when the patient's test results get back and it's apparent that he will be fine, J.D. contemplates on whether it's worth telling him at all. He eventually decides in favor of it, using Elliot as the translator. In the process, J.D. realizes that just as the patient's brother tried to protect him when he shouldn't have, so was J.D. being overprotective of Jamie and her decision to pursue a relationship with him. Armed with the knowledge, he meets her and tells her that he realizes her husband is gone for good and that if she feels ready, he'll take her... in front of her late husband's parents.

Dr. Cox isn't doing much better when he is caught by Jordan playing basketball and thus revealing that he lied when he said he couldn't watch her baby. When they next meet at his apartment, he convinces Jordan to call the baby Jack like he wanted, and when she lets him hold the kid, Perry realizes that he really does care for the baby.

[edit] Janitor story

J.D. stops by the Janitor's house by accident as he needs to pee, and by chance catches a glimpse of the Janitor's penis as he takes a shower, making J.D. see he may have a tumor. Eventually J.D. convinces the Janitor to let him test him, revealing that the tumor is, fortunately, benign. The Janitor, albeit through gritted teeth, thanks J.D.

[edit] Quotes

“I sort of had a sex dream about you.”— Turk
“Really? Was I the girl?”— Elliot


“I'm gonna be straight with you: I saw your penis, and I noticed a possible melanoma that you should really have checked out.”— J.D.
“When did you see my penis?”— Janitor
“Last night, when you were showering.”
“Where were you?”
“Oh, I was outside, in the bushes.”
“Uhhh...”
“Look, it was just a coincidence, man -- I mean, i-i-if you had looked out the window, you'd have seen my penis, you know!”
“What!?! Why?”
“Because I had it out while I was looking at yours!”


“It looks benign to me.”— J.D.
“Benign, benign-and-a-half.”— Janitor

[edit] Trivia

  • It is revealed in this episode that Elliot speaks fluent German.
    • Viewers fluent in German have noted that Sarah Chalke actually speaks better German in this episode than the German characters.
  • In the German translation of this episode the Germans are Danes and Elliot speaks Danish.
  • There is a continuity error: The sentence that Herman tells his brother is "Es wird alles gut gehen", but when J.D. tells Elliot what he heard (but did not understood), he says "Es wird alles wieder gut" (which is also correct in German, but clearly a different expression). Nevertheless, the translation "Everything is gonna be fine" fits for both versions.
  • The two sentences, that Elliot says to prove that she actually speaks German mean translated:
    • The milkmaid: "Good morning, do you want to milk the cows?"
    • The evil old hausfrau: "Eat your schnitzel, or else you won't get a dessert!"
  • Perry's and Jordan's baby is finally given a name: Jack.
