J.D.'s, Elliot's and Turk's fifth year at Sacred Heart brings exciting events and original people. New interns arrive, one of whom becomes the love interest of Elliot, and the rival of J.D.. Emotions must be kept separate if professional relationships are to be sustained. The existence of a urologist at Sacred Heart becomes very important to J.D., as his relationships with mentors get put into perspective. Turk and Carla try to have a baby, while Dr. Cox and Jordan focus on their own family. Dr. Kelso and Janitor continue to play by their own rules, often to the dismay of their co-workers.
