“Ultimately, life is a lot simpler at home... Unless you live with a co-worker you're crazy about, and she recently decided she can't handle sleeping with you, and she just wants to be friends”— J.D.'s Narration

[edit] Synopsis

Since Elliot and J.D. have recently broken up, Elliot claims that it will be harder for J.D. to transition back to being friends than Elliot, which she then proves by tricking JD into taking his clothes off for her.

Meanwhile, Mr. Corman the hypochondriac is back, and this time he thinks has 'Yaba', but Dr. Cox and Carla are doubtful. Turk performs brain surgery on a patient (Mrs. Kaye), who reminds him of his grandmother. After the surgery Dr. Kelso tells Turk to revoke her driving license because of the surgery, a task which Turk can't do because he feels too close to his patient. Besides, she says that her reactions have not suffered. Mr. Corman's results all come back negative (suggesting he is completely healthy) but he still isn't convinced. So, to scare him, Dr Cox suggests a bone marrow test involving a giant painful needle. Mr. Corman accepts. Then the results of Mr. Corman's big needle test come back, and it turns out he is actually sick, with a rare form of cancer (To which he replies "Yeah.... I think I had that in college once.)

Meanwhile, outside the hospital, Turk is talking to Dr. Kelso, and lies to him about revoking Mrs Kay's License. Just as he does so, Mrs Kay comes hurtling through the car park and ploughs into Kelso's car. Needless to say, Kelso is not happy.

Outside the hospital, Elliot discovers that her van has been stolen, with all her belongings inside. Just as this happens, J.D. heads off for a second date with Lisa the gift shop girl.

[edit] Quotes

“Now unless your pants are made out of turtle wax I suggest you boys get your asses off of Bessie”— Dr. Kelso


“So you went over to your 'friends' house and cried on his shoulder, boo hoo wah. You of course comforted her because she was weak and vulnerable and blah blah blah, nerdy sex. The End.”— Dr. Cox


“Cause even if it breaks your heart to be "Just Friends", if you really care for someone, you'll take the hit”— J.D.'s Narration


“Maybe all that therapy has changed you.”— Carla
“Oh, please, I'm crazier than ever. During this entire conversation I've actually been imagining myself sitting on a throne between us, watching all of this.”— Dr. Cox
“So you're just, like, right here watching us?”
“No. Other side. I'm... invisible to the naked eye.”
