Wow such a great ending to a good episode. This episode revolves around everyone's woman problems. Sarah Lancaster quest stars as the gift shop girl, Lisa. JD asks Lisa out on a date, but a problem arises when he can't get "it" up, because he feels as though the hospital is a monster, and it feeds on everyone's life. In this case, it fed on a lot people's love lives. Carla feels as though the magic is gone between her & Turk, when the sex isn't as great anymore. So they have relationship problems throughout the episode. Cox accidentally asks Jordan to move in with him, 'causing a whole lot of problems with him & Jordan. Jordan continues to be hormonal, and acting crazy. Meanwhile Elliot is homeless, and tries to find a place to live. She temporarily lives in the hospital, only to be kicked out by Kelso. Then she starts living in her moving van. JD offers her to live with him, she finally agrees. In the end, JD's problem isn't a problem anymore when he has sex with Elliot. The scene between Elliot & JD was amazing, it seems like they really connected, and it was nice to see them together again. Unfortunately, we know that they didn't work out last season, so I doubt they'll be working out this season. The Turk/Carla and Cox/Jordan relationship plots are both resolved by the end. A good episode, with a great concept, and a great ending that kept me guessing on what was going to happen in the next episode. Great episode overall.moreless

In this episode, i really liked Elliot's plot. It's nice to see that she is now not depending on her father and his money anymore. I really dislike Lisa the Gift Shop girl. Not being she is JD's girlfriend, i just don't like her. There were other girlfriends on him i really did like! So, i'm glad that JD ended up in bed with Elliot in the end. I liked the storyline of Cox and Jordan. The Carla and Turk one, not so much. They've only been dating for a year and he already asks her to marry him? Only in TV land...
Some jokes were really good though, but there were just a few plots i didn't enjoy that muchmoreless

This is one of my all time favourite episodes for a number of reasons but the biggest reason being when JD and ELLIOT started there "love scene" i loved the song choice: The Coral - Dreaming Of You, This song was a perfect choice for the scene and i immeditaly stuck it on my sony walkman phone (i have over 300 songs) but i love this song. The greddy B*****D line from the janitor after jd walks past him and doesn't look up, the todd bit hows your p***s bit and kelso constantly in elliots face, does anyone know which episode and series it is when Dr Cox punches Kelso in the face please.moreless

Dr. Cox and Jordan seem to be swimming along in their little dysfunctional relationship, as Jordan's pregnancy swims along. However, when Dr. Cox sort of unintentionally asks Jordan to move in with him in an effort to help her with her pregnancy things kind of snowball. She's calls him constantly, asks him for things endlessly, and pretty much just sorts to annoy him to end. But even though things are kind of a hassle Dr. Cox finds himself in a place where he wants to help Jordan and be there for her, even it is sometimes inconvienient.

Turk and Carla run into a little trouble when she feels that they don't exactly have good reciprocation in the bedroom. Feeling that now their relationsip in in this dull place Carla does all she can to try and spice it and bring some romance to the situation but nothing seems to work. But as it turns out none of her efforts were actually needed, it's not that they are in a dull place. It's that they are in solid place where they don't need to try and impress eachother anymore they can simply fall asleep on the couch and it can be just as romantic.

Jd runs into a little physical problem, even after he lands a rather attractive girl he has somewhat of a crush on. As hard as he tries ironicly he can't seem to make their dates work. However, when Elliot moves into his apartment temporarily due to her current financial and living situation he finds that his little problem suddenly isn't a problem anymore.moreless

- Turk: What'd you page me to the roof for? Carla: Well, I was thinking that you work so hard... And that if I want surprise and romance that maybe it's my turn to be the one who brings it. So, I brought us a couple of salads... Turk(unenthusiastically): That's great. Carla: ...a box of thirty-six hot-wings... Turk: Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Carla: ...and some blue cheese dressing! Turk: I LOVE THIS WOMAN! Edit
- Elliot: Hey. J.D.: Is this where you're sleeping tonight? Elliot: Yeah, so? It's, uh, it's cozy... Hospital-adjacent. J.D.: Elliot! Come on! This is crazy - you're living out of a van like a hobo... or Jewel. Elliot: Her poetry changed my life. Edit
- Turk: I mean, I consider myself a really romantic guy who's just a little stressed out. And I thought the one person who'd understand that would be Carla. Dr. Cox: You know what the weird thing is, is that I'm actually trying this time. Turk: I just wonder if I'm what she really wants. Dr. Cox: I just wonder if I'll ever be able to make it work out with anyone. J.D.: My peep's on the fritz. Turk: Dude! Dr. Cox: Oh, poor Newbie. J.D.: No, no! No, no, no, no! No, I'm talking about you guys! 'Cause y-y-y-you guys are like-you guys are like my peeps, you're my dawgs, and you on the fritz. So, there-that's where I get "peeps"/"fritz" came from. Dr. Cox: God love you, Newbie. Thank you for... giving me some perspective. Edit
