[edit] Episode overview

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The episode starts with J.D. remembering what had happened at the end of the previous episode and season. This involved the main characters all finding out secrets about each other:

Dr. Cox finally finds out that J.D. has had sex with Jordan and that Dr. Kelso lied to him about the new job.
J.D. gets to know that Elliot is still interested in him.
Carla finds out that Dr. Cox is attracted to her and that Turk knew without telling her.

They all avoid each other throughout apart from J.D and Turk who are now sharing a bed as Carla kicked Turk out of his bed. However after J.D. treats a patient by doing nothing he realises that things get better if you just give them time. At the end of the episode everybody has made up.

Spoilers end here.

[edit] Trivia

Neil Flynn, the "Janitor" now appears as a regular cast member in the opening titles of the show.
The opening titles have been changed and the theme song has been extended. This extension was so reviled by fans that the opening credits were reverted to the short version after just two episodes.
In the beginning of the episode when J.D. and Turk are in bed you can see J.D.'s shoulders under the covers because he's not wearing a shirt, but then when Turk accuses him of being homophobic and takes off his covers he's fully dressed.
The scene where Dr. Cox smashes Colin Hay's guitar is an homage to a similar scene from the movie Animal House
In the scene where J.D. imagines his colleagues "drifting through the hallways" a glimpse of what appears to be a skateboard attached to a rope can be seen when Carla passes Turk.
The only person not on a skateboard was Judy Reyes (Carla Espinosa) due to the fact that she could use skates, unlike the rest of the cast.
