[edit] Synopsis

J.D. is jealous that Sean is back in Elliot's life, and also worried that his relationship with Turk will change now that he and Carla have set a date for their wedding. He can't understand why Turk is so reluctant to acknowledge how close their bond as best friends is, and in particular to go out and celebrate their friendship. A patient of Turk's makes the reason clear: He is gay, and the resemblance of him and his life partner to J.D. and Turk is uncanny.

Meanwhile, Carla discovers an unmarked urine specimen, but no one else seems to care about identifying it, and so it becomes her obsession. At last the Janitor, who is frightened of Carla, finds the label identifying it.

Although Elliot is happy to be with Sean again, he doesn't want to be a couple, because he was devastated the last time she dumped him. Elliot assures him that she won't put her job ahead of him now that she's not an intern anymore, but she is forced to cancel their first date and realizes that the hospital always has to come first. She admits this to Sean, but promises that she will give as much of herself to the relationship as she can if he is willing to give her a chance; he accepts this promise.

After Turk discusses his problem with J.D. with his gay patient, who makes him feel better, Turk and J.D. do go out for a celebration, and their friendship is restored.


[edit] Plot Points

  • J.D. gets jealous because of Elliot and Sean's relationship.
  • Carla finds a jar of urine and tries to find out whose it is.

[edit] Recurring Themes

[edit] Fantasies

  • J.D. dreams about his wedding day; the priest asks if he will take "Marcia Brady" to be his wife. The fantasy bride to be is, in fact, Maureen McCormick. However, J.D. insists, saying, "Marcia, please."
  • J.D. dreams of Carla telling Janitor to be nice to J.D. and to "bring him a fruit smoothie everyday." Janitor asks in Spanish, "Would he like strawberry or banana?" Carla uncharacteristically stumbles over her Spanish, asking for a "purple tree car with cheese." Janitor cries, "LIAR" in Spanish, yanking off Carla's hair and face, revealing J.D.

[edit] Janitor story

  • Janitor develops a fear of Carla after she tells him off. He later goes to great lengths to please her by finding the label to her unmarked urine specimen.

[edit] J.D.'s Girls Name

  • Hilton Sisters, used by Dr. Cox for J.D. and Turk when they are talking about Turk's wedding with Carla.
“Wedding talk! Oh, how lovely! Listen, Hilton sisters: Mr. Quinn in 206 still has a severely shattered clavicle and he needs a surgical consult now. And, seeing as he's your patient, and you're a surgeon, gosh, I was hoping that if you two hens have an extra moment between choosing centerpieces and deciding just exactly how you're gonna attach that veil onto Baldy's head, well, it would just be super-de-duper if you could peek in in there and give him the old lookie-loo; wouldn't it?”— Dr. Cox

[edit] Quotes

“Whoa! Do you actually talk to each other?”— Elliot
“Elliot, come on, he's just a dolphin.”— Sean

[The dolphin squeaks in the direction of Sean]

"Because, Bruce, then she would think I was crazy, that's why!"


“Carla, you're forcing me to say something that I prayed I'd never have to say again to another woman: Please, please, please, put down the cup of urine.”— Dr. Cox


“Oh, I'm sorry, that was my mistake. I keep forgetting that you're a horrible, horrible person.”— Elliot to Dr. Cox


“It's just that, Dr. Cox, I've got a date with this guy named Sean-”— Elliot
“Would you do me a personal favor and excuse me just for one moment?”— Dr. Cox
"Yeah."

[Dr. Cox closes his eyes and pretends to snore]


“All right, fine, man! I can have plenty of deep moments with The Todd!”— Turk
“Do you think gay dudes get turned on by their own weiners?”— Todd


“Dr. Cox, does this shade of red make me look like a clown?”— Elliot about her lipstick
“No, barbie, no...it makes you look like a prostitute who caters exclusively to clowns.”— Dr. Cox
“Whassup?”— Turk
“Oh, nothing - I just found out my favorite chips cause anal leakage and, oh, I'm not talking to you.”— J.D.
“How did you get him to stop talking to you?”— Dr. Cox
"I don't get it, man. All I wanted to do was take you to dinner, and you made me feel like a total idiot."
“Wait a minute, I always make him feel like an idiot.”— Dr. Cox
“Why you making a big deal about this?”— Turk
"You never tell me how you feel!"
“Aw, dammit all! I never tell you how I feel.”— Dr. Cox
“I'm not talking to you!”
“Finally!”— Dr. Cox


[edit] Trivia

  • In the scene with Sean at SeaWorld, Elliot is already wet before the dolphin actually flips water on her.
  • If you own a DVR (AKA TiVo) you can see that in JD's fantasy, when "Carla" gets the Janitor to be nice to JD, the character switch (between Carla and JD) occurs when Janitor yells "LIAR" (in Spanish) and by using the DVR frame-by-frame, the mask is clearly visible on his scrub lapels.
