[edit] Synopsis
J.D. and Turk anxiously wait for their shifts to be over so they can enjoy the decade old tradition of Steak Night. J.D. gets upset that Ed is able to create any catchy saying in seconds, but falls prey to his charm. J.D. also tells Denise that she needs to work on her patient relations, as she is coming off rude. Later, as Turk and J.D. secretly dance about steak, a nurse asks them to check on a patient, George Valentine.
The two friends check on George, who will probably die that evening. They make sure he is comfortable, and run out and buy him a beer as a dying request. When they return, Ted is talking to George about his will. They give him the beer and he tells them that his family is coming to be with him. As Turk and J.D. leave, Ted tells them that George doesn't have any family. They relieve Denise of George's care, and stay the entire night talking with him about his life. They try to comfort him about dying, and reveal that although they are surrounded by death on a daily basis, they are still afraid. George passes away, and J.D. and Turk think about him on the roof of Sacred Heart.
