[edit] Synopsis

Turk and Carla are trying for a baby but Carla thinks that Turk is sterile after being tested herself and that it is taking so long to get pregnant. After Carla fails to "sperm jack" him, he goes to a fertility test with J.D. there as support. J.D. talks with Turk with walkie talkies so he can improve his relationship with him due to Elliot and Keith being so close. However, Turk throws his one away after J.D. talks about Turk's possible infertility while he's in a lift and the Janitor gets hold of the watch himself and uses it to his advantage to terrorize J.D. In the end, Turk learns that his is not sterile. The doctor attributes his and Carla's failure to get pregnant to stress.

Meanwhile, Dr. Cox was named the city's best doctor but has trouble treating a patient whom he despises and who is also a friend of Dr. Kelso's. Even after the difficulties treating the patient, Dr. Kelso tells Dr. Cox, reluctantly, that he assigned him his friend because Kelso thinks Perry is the best doctor.

Elliot begins giving Keith preferential treatment, by switching his schedule just so they can spend time together. Dr. Cox, furious at being betrayed by the Janitor, refuses to allow the switch and berates her while J.D. watches and does nothing. Despite Elliot seemingly being in the wrong, she tells J.D. that he is a bad friend and calls him out for his dislike of Keith. After hearing Dr. Kelso tell Dr. Cox that he is the best doctor and stuck him with his difficult patient (whom he despises) on behalf of a friend, J.D. decides that he must also do the same for Elliot and Keith. The interns file a complaint to Dr. Kelso after Elliot gives Keith a case that every intern was vying for. J.D. steps in and takes over the task of assigning cases and after a short speech, leaves the case with Keith, the best intern. Elliot gets off the hook.
