From Scrubs Wiki

“Come on, I know it's tempting to just mail it in, but there's still a lot of people who rely on us week to week. I think we owe it to them to be as inspired as we were our first few years. Now I know we never do great come medical awards season, except for Dr. Shalhoub, he wins everything, but I still think we're as good as anybody else out there.”— J.D.

[edit] Synopsis

J.D. notices something new (), and Janitor assumes he wants a compliment back, thinking J.D. noticed his new watch. J.D. then conducts rounds with his new interns and doesn't like any of them. He thinks Katie is too much of a know-it-all, Denise is terrible with her bedside manner, and Ed is too unproductive. He welcomes the new Chief of Medicine for Sacred Heart, Dr. Taylor Maddox and is surprised at how attractive and nice she is. Later, during another session of rounds, J.D. leaves the interns alone in the ward to watch the patients and gives them specific instructions. When he returns, he finds that they allowed a patient to crash. He vows he is done teaching them and hands them over to Josephine. In the cafeteria, Dr. Cox tells J.D. that he was not too dissimilar from these new interns, and that it is his job to teach. He ends up giving the interns a second chance.

Meanwhile, Dr. Cox is upset that he is going to have to be "the guy" who tells the new Chief of Medicine every time she does something the staff doesn't agree with. He notices that Dr. Maddox is keeping a patient, Bernie Hicks in the hospital only because he has incredible insurance, and is ordering constant unnecessary tests and procedures simply to make money from it. He later stands up to her and argues with her.

After Keith calls Katie "Mini Elliot", Elliot obsesses that she is too self involved. Carla tries to nicely give her a reality check, and after failing to see the signs that Keith is still hurt by her dumping him, Ted shows her that he is still upset. She apologizes for what she did in private.

Dr. Kelso enjoys a muffin at Coffee Bucks and watches the hospital drama. Ted tries to tell him off, but still does not have enough self esteem to do so.

Dr. Maddox asked for his name to which Janitor gave her a smug response. After reading that his name tag said "The Janitor" she fired Janitor on the spot. The next day, Dr. Maddox saw Janitor fixing a light, walked him out of the hospital, re-fired him, and took his universal key. He is then replaced by a more cheery Marvell.
