Plot Overview

JD has 48 hours to get an interrupted kiss from Elliot. Unfortunately Turk distracts him from his goal, first by his growing involvement with Carla, then when JD suspects he may have left something inside a patient during surgery. Meanwhile, Elliot is offended by Dr. Kelso referring to her as "Sweetheart."

Doctor Cox begins feeling increasingly annoyed by the constant attention from the interns and goads Elliot into voicing her complaints to Dr. Kelso. Try as he might he can’t seem to rid himself of their problems.
