The three interns are each assigned patients with various illnesses. Statistically speaking, one of the three is going to die. J.D.'s patient is 86 year old Mrs. Tanner, who is in renal failure. 20 year old David Morrison is Turk's hernia patient and Elliot's patient Mrs. Guerrero only speaks Spanish and might have lupus.

J.D. is approached by a malpractice attorney, asking him to do a risky procedure on her father.

Meanwhile, Elliot guides Doug to a new career path and Turk struggles to avoid a hypochondriac patient.

A new patient at the hospital wakes up and sees everything happening around her as a musical.

Carla can't decide whether or not to return to work and Elliot must find a way to tell J.D. he can't move into her new house with her.
