[edit] Synopsis
After having a bad day at the hospital, Dr. Cox goes home to find out he has to tell his son Jack a story. So he retells his day as a Medieval fairy tale. One of the Princess' (Elliot Reid) handmaidens (Marian) has fallen under the control of a monster. She calls the help of the village idiot (John Dorian) to help her along with the help of the giant (Janitor), the witch Turla (Turk and Carla), and the knight (Perry Cox) they have to defeat the monster before it is too late. The knight tells them to go to the forbidden forest, which the dark lord Oslek (Robert Kelso) has forbidden to enter, and find the golden ring.
In reality, Elliot can't find the diagnosis of one of her patients. So she and J.D. have to find it while Dr. Kelso has imposed a new 12-hour shift rule. While Elliot's patient declines, Dr. Cox tells them that they cannot do anything unless the diagnosis is found. They find the diagnosis thanks to some interns, but may not be able to help the patient. Dr. Cox says that she lives happily ever after to Jack, but later says to Jordan, that that's how he's choosing to tell the story. On a side note, J.D and Elliot explore the possibility of having feelings for each other. even though it appears to be evident that they do they both decide that their "almost kiss" meant nothing to either of them, Dr. Cox shed some light on this saying "they are both idiots.." to his son whilst telling him the story.

[edit] Trivia
- Due to the 2007-2008 writer's strike creator Bill Lawrence never got to complete the season, so the episodes were rearranged with this episode being the "finale" for NBC.
- This episode was produced before "My Dumb Luck", so Dr. Kelso is still Chief of Medicine.
- Bill Lawrence's wife Christa Miller wanted an episode for her kids to be able to watch, so Bill ordered a fairy tale episode to be made.
- "My Princess" is the last episode to air on NBC.
- The witch "Turla" is based on Dr. Cox often referring to Turk and Carla as "two-headed" in his various rants.
- Elliot's patient's name is a play on the name Maid Marian from Robin Hood.
- The Village Idiot follows up a joke with "Good Morrow!!!" much like J.D.'s tendency to follow up a joke with "Hello!!!"
- The Monster holding the handmaiden/patient bears a resemblance to the Smoke Monster in Lost.
- The Todd gets confused and leaves when everybody in a room stays still and doesn't talk.
- The Irritable Townswoman of Color seems to be based on Aloma Wright's previous character, Laverne, rather than Nurse Shirley, as Shirley rarely shows signs of irritability.
- The Giant's footsteps make the ground shake, although he does not appear to be big enough to do so. When walking away with the Hunchback (Ted) he appears to be only about twice the height of a normal person.
- The Dark Lords name "Oslek" is backwards for "Kelso"
- Knight Percival Cox's "My name is Percival Cox. You're killing my friend. Prepare to die!" is a take on Inigo Montoya's "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!" in "The Princess Bride".
