Ever since her father cut her off financially, Elliot's been feeling the weight of the world on her back. While having to find a new affordable place to live, she also has to face the threat of being sued by a patient whom she told had only 8 months to live (and the problem is 9 months have passed by ever since). Carla and Jordan hit a sore spot when Carla gives her opinion on Jordan and Perry's relationship. Meanwhile, J.D. has a fight with Dr. Cox and the two dispute over who gets to give the better treatment to two patients with the same prognosis, after J.D. gets so full of himself for picking up a totally uncommon flush eating bacteria on one of Dr. Cox's patients. J.D.'s patient ends up dying, though he didn't do anything wrong. All he didn't have was luck.
