A shooting incident leads Briscoe and Curtis to a teen who had been given to a drug dealer to settle his mother's drug debts.

When J.D. (Zach Braff) must address a bunch of pre-med students about what it's like to be a doctor, he strays off the beaten path and chooses to discuss his best moments as a doctor instead. When he challenges the rest of the staff to do so, they all reminisce about their fondest memories in the medical field. Meanwhile, Elliot (Sarah Chalke) is forced to face her fear of children when she must befriend a ten-year-old boy, whose father is being treated in the I.C.U. Elsewhere, Dr. Kelso (Ken Jenkins) gets a dose of Christmas spirit and stuns the staff with his change of heart. Donald Faison, John C. McGinley, Judy Reyes and Neil Flynn also star.

Upon learning that her close friend Barb (recurring guest star Emmy Award winner Wanda Sykes - "The Chris Rock Show") is responsible for matching up "new" Christine and Richard, Christine allows Barb to set her up on a blind date of her own. After a series of unsuccessful dates, Christine finds the possibility of love in the strangest of places. Meanwhile, Matthew takes Ritchie to swimming lessons.
