[edit] Synopsis
Three weeks have passed since Kim came back to Sacred Heart. She and J.D. are a couple now, waiting for their baby, Sam, to be born. However, J.D. has second thoughts about getting back together with her. He feels guilty that he convinced her to quit her other job and her other apartment in Tacoma.
At the same time, Elliot feels nervous about marrying Keith. The wedding is one week away, and although she is still inviting people to the wedding, she wonders if she is marrying just to get married.
Dr. Kelso walks through the hospital, looking for a good cat fight, while Dr. Cox is still upset that J.D. is the godfather of his second child. He tried hard to get JD to back down, by offering him a hug and to never call him a girls name again. J.D. refuses because being Dr. Cox's child's godfather makes him involved in Dr Cox's life forever. Instead, He convinces Jordan to revoke the godfather privilege from J.D., but takes some punishment. At the christening of their child, Jennifer Dylan (also a "J.D." thanks to Dr Dorian), Elliot and J.D. panic over their commitments. Later, while hiding from their respective lovers, J.D. and Elliot share a moment, which seems to lead into a kiss.

[edit] Janitor story
Janitor is invited to Blonde Doctor's wedding. As he has had a crush on Elliot for the past few years, Janitor wants to get her an extra special gift. Janitor rallies the Brain Trust, from which he has dumped Doug to replace him with Lloyd, to help him think of a special gift.
During the meeting, Janitor expresses his desire to make sure Elliot has lasting happiness in her marriage to Keith. Ted tells Janitor that it is not upto him to make sure Elliot is happy, that is Keith's job.
Following this train of thought, Janitor decides to train Keith to be a good husband. Janitor does this by inventing strange and impossible scenarios, one in which Elliot wakes up unable to say vowels, to test Keith's reaction to such situations. After Janitor details a scenario that involves Keith bringing home a gay lover, Keith objects to the bizarre interrogation, and tells the Brain Trust that he doesn't need to prove his love to them, only to Elliot, a job he plans to do everyday for the rest of his life.
After this, the Janitor declares it a job well done and dismisses the Brain Trust, but not before firing Lloyd.
