- “Honestly, Perry, the only way I could have felt more taken care of is if I were at a four-star resort, or a spa...or a third-world country where you have to boil your own sewage if you want something to drink! Oh, and by the way? A giant, giant feather in your cap for how much power you wield in this hospital after 15 years.”— Jordan

[edit] Synopsis
Dr. Kelso complains to J.D. about how the crappy coffee is worse than a faulty MRI machine. After dismissing Mr. Simms although he was complaining of stomach pains, Turk asks J.D. to join him on the roof to shoot some golf balls. One ball hits Dr. Kelso's coffee which spills on his face leaving him burned. When J.D. takes a shot, the two hear the sound of glass breaking and a car crash. They rush inside. Later, the two residents meet their patient Mr. Foster who was in a car accident after a golf ball flew through his windshield. The doctors freak out but do not tell him that it was them who caused his accident. They decide to never tell anyone. Dr. Cox asks J.D. to keep an eye on Jordan while he gives her a break from himself, but he is too afraid that she will yell at him so he avoids her room. He then begins to run into bad situations - having to take all of Dr. Kelso's patients, learning that his favorite Dairy Queen has burned down. Turk has to hold the fat flaps back during a surgery. The two doctors believe that karma is affecting their lives, so they admit to Mr. Foster that they were playing golf on Sacred Heart's roof. Mr. Foster tells them that his accident happened downtown, so it was not possible that they caused it. J.D. realized that their karma may have been because of other patients. He entered Jordan's room and she confessed her true feelings of Dr. Cox. Turk later confessed to Mr. Simms that he may a minor mistake during his lung surgery that resulted in his pain.
Meanwhile, Dr. Cox brings Jordan to the hospital because it is her scheduled delivery date. He promised her that he kissed every butt in the hospital to get her the best room, but the room is occupied by a woman in her 40th hour of labor and Jordan is stuck with a crappy room and her OB-GYN's cherry student Dr. Donna Berlutti. At the end of the day as Jordan is leaving the hospital, she complains to Perry that he doesn't have the clout in the hospital as he thought he did. He tells her that it's not his kid and that he doesn't have to be taking care of her. Upset, she walks toward the exit. Perry stops her when he notices her water has broken. In another birthing room, Jordan yells at Perry for still not having Dr. Gerson. She demands he leave her alone, and when he exits her room he asks J.D. to check in on her. After avoiding her for a while, J.D. enters the room and she is happy to hear that Perry cared about her enough to send someone in. She confesses that the baby really is Perry's, but that she wanted him in her life because he wanted to, rather than was obliged to. Perry storms in the room and demands to be present for the birth, but Jordan still doesn't tell him the secret. She then gives birth to a very healty Jack Cox, who Perry says "must have had an ugly father".
At the same time, Elliot struggles to hide her craziness from Paul. On their fourth date on which Elliot plans to sleep with him, Paul leaves without going into her apartment. Back at the hospital, she freaks out because of this, and tells Carla that she needs to continue hiding the crazy until Paul is too invested to back out. On their next date, Paul is upset that Elliot still seems to be hiding something from him. Elliot pours her soul out, revealing odd secrets. He says he is very turned on and they make out. Back at Sacred Heart, Carla is still freaking out about her recent acceptance to marry Turk. When Dr. Cox is looking for someone to listen to him, she tells him that there are no perfect relationships, but the only ones that come close are when people are there for each other no matter what.
