Dr Cox is stressed out by the number of tasks he must do as Chief of Medicine. Ted develops a crush on ukulele player Stephanie but cannot conjure up the courage to speak to her. It's left to JD and the Janitor to bring the two together at a band night.

Carla struggles to maintain her heritage while JD realises he uses nicknames because he knows no-one's real name.

JD's ego gets in the way of learning when Elliot, his Co-Chief Resident, continually outperforms him with their patients.

During the final moments of his last day, JD begins to wonder about the future after he leaves Sacred Heart, if his relationship with Elliot will survive, or if he will remain close to his best friend Turk, and even if Dr Cox will miss him when he is gone.

In a `Wizard of Oz' homage, JD is trying to go home, Turk searches for a heart donor and Carla worries that she doesn't have the courage to become a parent.

Dr Cox starts drinking after his decisions result in the death of three of his patients. The staff try to cover for him at the hospital and everyone tries to convince him of what an inspiration he is. Meanwhile, Turk starts his new rotation with orthopaedic surgery, but isn't so fond of his attending doctor's touchy-feely methods.
