[edit] Synopsis

J.D. and Elliot are in the park when a woman, Patti Miller, behind them faints. When she wakes up she realizes that everyone, including herself, is singing. They take her to the hospital where everyone is still singing, even when in reality people are really having normal conversations. J.D. does some tests on her to find out why she is singing, but Dr. Cox believes it is just because she is slightly crazy and refuses to perform extensive tests, but when she expresses her annoyances at J.D., Dr. Cox changes his mind about the tests. After another song in her head, Dr. Cox finds out Patti hears everyone singing because she has aneurysm, a fatal condition. Meanwhile, Carla works out that staying home and looks after Izzy would work out better than if Carla went back to work and hired a nanny, which makes Turk very excited. But after everyone expresses how they will miss her, Carla has some second-thoughts about leaving her job. Elliot finds a new apartment to move into, but finds out J.D. wants to move in with her, but Elliot doesn't want that to happen.

Elliot and Carla are thinking of how to break their news to J.D. and Turk, who are in another room 'singing' about their "guy love" for each other. Once the two finish their song, they meet Elliot and Carla who both break the news to them. J.D. deals with his news by ignoring Elliot and walking off, while Turk storms off and accidentally calls Carla Puerto Rican, despite her being Dominican. Carla tells Turk that he knows nothing about her, and that she still is going to return to work, but Turk supports this. Elliot then asks J.D. if he would like to move in with her, but he decides he won't, but says that they're still good friends. Patti is then scared about her aneurysm but after surgery, she is luckily cured and everyone stops singing. Despite this good news, Elliot still misses J.D. when she's at home, Carla misses Izzy when she returns work and Patti misses the singing in her head.
