J.D. doesn't feel anything when Elliot starts seeing his brother Dan (Tom Cavanagh). Turk uses his newly-diagnosed diabetes to get Carla to bring him food. Meanwhile, Dr. Cox and Dr. Kelso team up to break the spirit of the ever cheerful Dr. Molly Clock (Heather Graham).

Quote from Turk

Carla: Baby, check this out. Dr. Kelso just offered me Glenda's old job as administrative supervisor.
Turk: [indifferent] Oh, that's great, sweetie.
Carla: The job pays an extra seven thousand dollars a year.
Turk: [excited] My baby's an administrative supervisor! Let's celebrate! Whatever you want.
Carla: Oh, let's go shopping for a new duvet cover.
Turk: Oh, I'd love to. But my diabetes is acting up.

Quote from Dan

Dan: [singing, badly] She's gone! She's gone! Oh, why? Oh, why. Better learn how to f-face it. She's gone, she's gone! Oh, why! Oh, why! What went wrong?!
J.D.: Don't you think you're overreacting?
Dan: [talking] No, J.D., I don't. Because Elliot was the best thing that ever happened to me and now she's gone. [singing] Ah, she's gone! She's gone. She's gone! She's gone she's gone.
J.D.: That's not even the right gibberish.

Quote from Dan

Dan: You know what, J.D.? Elliot and I were supposed to have a big romantic evening together, and look at all this stuff I bought. Candles. Champagne. A Dido CD. I guess I'll just throw these things out with rest of the garbage.
J.D.: Oh, come on, don't go. We can watch Kangaroo Jack and chug a Foster's every time they say "g'day".
Dan: G'day, J.D.
J.D.: Dan.
Dan: [Australian accent] I said g'day!

Quote from J.D.

J.D.: Look, you know how I told you I was upset about you and Dan? Is that champagne?
Elliot: Yeah. Yeah, I was celebrating my new jammies.
J.D.: I love champagne. You mind if I have a little? Thank you. A nipper. Ah, tingly. It's a tingly drink. Ooh, pretty candles! Anyhoo, I know you broke up with Dan because you thought I was upset, but in reality, I uh... I... [singing] "I want to thank you! For giving me the best day of my life" I love this song, who is it?
Elliot: Dido. And you've really got to meet my brother Barry.
J.D.: Dido? ... Dan!
Dan: Hey, little brother. [drinks] Tingles.

Quote from Ted

Turk: Carla, we have to talk.
Carla: Is it your blood sugar again? I'll get you something. [takes Ted's ice cream sandwich]
Turk: Baby, I feel fine. It's just that I kinda been using my diabetes to get you to, you know, hook me up with sandwiches and whatnot.
Carla: I can't believe you! [bins Ted's ice cream sandwich]
Ted: Oh, man. I brought that from home.

Quote from Carla

Turk: Look, baby, before you get freaked out, I fixed it already. Look.
Dr. Kelso: Nurse Turkleton, I wanted to offer you that job once more.
Carla: I don't want it.
Dr. Kelso: Great! [to Turk] See you Saturday, Batman.
Turk: Baby, what the hell?!
Carla: Maybe I decided right away that I didn't want that job because I'd miss working with patients but I didn't tell you because you were excited about the money, so I used your diabetes as an excuse. I don't know. I don't really remember.

Quote from Dr. Kelso

Dr. Cox: You see, Bob, it didn't even faze her.
Dr. Kelso: Patience, Perry. With a tough one like her, you have to wait for it. Here it comes. And we've broken her! There sits a dejected a woman, all alone, wounded, vulnerable...
Dr. Cox: Crying.
Dr. Kelso: She's ruining it for me.
Dr. Cox: Lady, stop cryin'!

Quote from J.D.

Elliot: J.D., Dan and I both know this is just a fling. Still, I feel like the worst person in the whole world. Please, can you forgive me?
J.D.: Elliot, I came here to tell you I was never actually mad at you.
Elliot: How could you not be mad that I was hooking up with your brother?
J.D.: I don't know. I just wasn't. How could you hook up with my brother without considering my feelings?
Elliot: I don't know. I I just didn't.
J.D.: [v.o.] That's when I realized that Elliot and I had absolutely no romantic feeling for each other anymore. No matter what the situation. It was a little sad, but, who knows? Maybe it meant we could be friends again.

Quote from J.D.

Dan: Hey, I can't find my Dido CD.
J.D.: [whispers] If my heart could write songs, they'd sound like these.

Quote from Carla

J.D.: [v.o.] I think relationships are inherently fragile. They can be strengthened by a shared excuse.
Carla: [on the phone] Turk, we just got invited to Linda's Jack & Jill bridal shower. Do you mind if I use your diabetes to get out of it?
Turk: Of course not, baby.
