J.D. (Zach Braff) Turk (Donald Faison) and Eliot (Sarah Chalke) quickly become overwhelmed on their first night without the supervision of an attending physician when their newly established authority as residents turns out to be more work than they anticipated forcing them to rely on Carla (Judy Reyes) and even the janitor (Neil Flynn) for assistance. Meanwhile Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley) begrudgingly acquiesces to Dr. Kelso's (Ken Jenkins) request that he introduce him at an awards ceremony fueling Cox's resentment and resulting in a rather unusual presentation.

J.D.'s (Zach Braff) ego gets in the way of his learning when Elliot (Sarah Chalke), his Co-Chief Resident, continually outperforms him with their patients. Meanwhile, Turk (Donald Faison) makes light of his diabetes by inventing a guessing game of his insulin levels with the nursing staff, leaving Carla (Judy Reyes) flustered. Elsewhere, the Janitor (Neil Flynn) feels rejected by his secret crush Elliot, when she runs off quickly from their "coffee date." Assuming his nice dress attire scared her off, he makes up a story that he was dressed to impress for his a capella band practice which leads to Elliot requesting an impromptu performance. Ken Jenkins and John C. McGinley also star.
