After J.D. tells her that he doesn't think her can ever forgive her and get together romantically with her again, she breaks down crying because ''obviously her pregnancy has made her too fat for him now.'' Never mind the perfectly reasonable reasons he has to not want to be with her...

Upon Kelso's retirement, he's replaced by Dr. Maddox, who actually acts like an administrator, having the Janitor fired on the spot when she sees him trip JD in the hallway.
