Synopsis[]

9x9 JD Elliot on Babymoon

J.D. and Elliot have a relaxing Babymoon.

J.D. & Elliot[]

J.D. and Elliot are preparing to have their baby. J.D. builds a crib while Elliot plans her pregnancy schedule in a binder. J.D. tries to make an evening romantic between the two of them before Elliot goes into labor, but Elliot doesn't feel up to it. The next day J.D. visits New Sacred Heart Hospital to get advice from Turk and ends up hearing from Cole about a Babymoon - a honeymoon-type getaway before a baby is born. J.D. likes the idea and tries to whisk Elliot away after her shift, but she refuses because she is too busy. J.D. later talks with Perry who tells him that Elliot won't hear reason from him solely because he is her husband. Dr. Cox talks to Elliot in a patient's room and shows her that J.D. was correct - she needs to relax before the baby is born. The married couple then takes a Babymoon inside Sacred Heart with the help of Turk, Denise, Drew, and Cole.

9x9 JD Cox

Jordan & Perry[]

Meanwhile, Dr. Cox struggles with his own mortality, as Jordan visits him at work and tells him that Danni's husband died and Danni didn't receive anything since his will was outdated. Jordan forces Perry to write his will. As he is writing his will, he starts to feel conscious about his own mortality. He confides in Denise who doesn't really help out. He later realizes, when talking to Elliot, that when you have children life speeds up and it's important to spend time with your loved ones. He then goes home, signs the will, and has a drink with Jordan, whom he asks to spend a weekend away with.

Lucy & Ben[]

Lucy isn't having an easy day either. In her anatomy class, Turk informs the groups that there will be a quiz the next classtime that will be worth 25% of their entire grade - dissecting a cadaver's heart. Lucy's groups' cadaver is Ben - Lucy's patient on her first day. ("Our First Day of School") She tells her group that she will be able to cut into him, even though she hasn't practiced. Even though she snuck into the lab to practice, Lucy couldn't bring herself to cut into Ben. Later, in surgery, Turk shows Lucy that what seems like hurting someone, such as cutting them open to perform surgery, is actually good for them. Later Turk gives Lucy another chance and she properly dissects Ben's heart.
