[edit] Plot

As the 6th anniversary of Turk and Carla's first date approaches, Turk, in order to surprise Carla with a thoughtful gift, learns Spanish for her. Meanwhile, one of J.D.'s patients, Emory (a burn victim), pleads to attend his graduation, which JD originally agrees to. Later on, however, Dr. Cox reveals that the Emory's leg has become infected and that there is no way he is going to his graduation. Unable to make a decision, J.D. seeks advice from Elliot; She agrees with Dr. Cox, but J.D. ignores her. While Carla is on the phone, Turk is bugging her about "brinner" (breakfast for dinner), she comments on the idea by saying, in Spanish 'The truth is I'd cook breakfast for dinner every night if he'd clean up the apartment for once.' Turk, upon hearing that, quickly cleans the apartment, which Carla sees as a coincidence and, as she had said, cooked him brinner. Seeing as how, understanding Spanish without Carla knowing could actually be an advantage, he decides not to tell her and instead tells her that the next day, she could pick out anything she wanted from the jewelry store. Dr. Cox and Dr. Kelso agree with Turk, that he has a massive advantage over other married men: he can 'spy' on Carla without her knowing. Dr. Cox, however, when he was being bothered by Turk, sold him out and says to Carla in Spanish 'Your husband thinks you're an overbearing control freak with Izzy', which Turk understands and accidentally reacts to by saying 'That's not even true!'. Carla finally realizes something is wrong, and Dr. Cox reveals Turk's understanding of Spanish. Carla is originally upset, but at the end of the episode realizes that Turk was trying to do a nice thing, and that now they can talk privately to each other when J.D. and Elliot are around. They end up commenting in Spanish that Elliot and J.D. will probably be back together in five weeks, as the pair appear to be getting closer than they have been in the past years. Elsewhere, Dr. Cox decides to get on Dr. Kelso's nerves by messing around with his food.[3] [4]
