[edit] Plot

When the hospital's favorite patient Mrs. Wilk is told she will die after getting an infection, Dr. Cox and J.D. try to make her last days happy. They take her to the beach, and seem to also go through the five stages of grief along with her. They call in grief counselor Dr. Hedrick to help. Meanwhile, Elliot realizes that her booty call Keith has become more than a booty call. Carla and Turk each try to use Elliot and Keith to fight a power struggle about who gets power in a relationship, using them as representatives for their own power struggle. After Dr. Kelso hits Ted with his car, Janitor and Ted team up to give Dr. Kelso a taste of his own medicine by blackmailing him for favors. Guest-stars Dave Foley as Dr. Hedrick.

[edit] Trivia

It is learned in this episode that Dr. Kelso hates bikes because his dad was only able to abandon his family by taking his child's bike and riding off.

Dr. Hedrick, played by Dave Foley, is seen several times in this episode carrying around a cup of coffee. Foley is known for his addiction to coffee, and often plays characters who are similarly addicted, so he can drink coffee on the set.
