Kelso dons SCR to prove a point to Cox, only to watch it backfire when an obnoxious patient refuses to listen to him; J.D. and Turk party while Carla struggles to find solace in Elliott.
- Brutal Honesty: Kelso steps back into his scrubs and deals directly with a patient as a doctor, where he learns that Cox is right and sometimes you just have to be direct and honest with your patients.
- Butt-Monkey: "There aren't many things as sad as a dermatologist who's just been paged for a consult milking it for all it's worth."
- Mistaken for Racist: JD thought Turner and Hooch was an interracial buddy cop movie because he thought Hooch would be a black guy. We thus are introduced to the character Hooch.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In a Flash Back, Kelso noped out of treating patients the second he was named Chief of Medicine.
- Troubled Fetal Position: JD can sense Turk is depressed because he's curled up in a ball on the floor of the locker room.
