Plot

J.D. gets a patient who smokes, Will Forte, who is in for a cancer screening. After talking to him, J.D. goes to the cafeteria, where Turk tells him that he is interested in Carla. As the episode progresses, it is revealed that Will doesn't have cancer. Undeterred, J.D. tries to persuade Will to stop smoking. He thinks that he has been successful and gladly tells Dr. Cox, but then the two of them see Will and the Janitor smoking together. When J.D. then asks Dr. Cox for help with his patient, Dr. Cox refuses.

After asking several people about Dr. Cox and always getting the answer, "He's a jerk," J.D. decides that Cox is just lonely and visits him at home with a couple of beers. When closing the door in J.D.'s face, Dr. Cox hurts J.D.'s leg and takes him inside to treat the injury. Then Dr. Cox's friends come in to watch a football game, and he kicks J.D. out. Before J.D. leaves, though, Dr. Cox gives him his version of sincere advice, telling him that if he keeps "living or dying" on whether or not a patient changes his or her bad habits, he'll never make it as a doctor.

Meanwhile, Elliot has told Dr. Kelso that Carla made a mistake, making Carla very angry. J.D. wants Elliot to apologize to Carla, but after her apology, she makes Carla even madder by telling her what she should have done. Carla rallies the nursing staff totally against Elliot, running her through the wringer. Elliot tries to get Dr. Kelso to help her get what she wants from the nurses, but he tells her she's on her own and says, "I hope you all kill each other."

All the while, Turk wants to ask Carla out, but she turns him down. Going for broke, Turk gives a speech to Carla, telling her to cut Elliot some slack. This impresses Carla, who finally agrees to a date. She then forgives Elliot, while J.D. sees Will leave, lighting up a cigarette immediately after leaving the hospital. J.D. reluctantly decides that Dr. Cox is right. Dr. Cox then chides J.D. for not sticking to his convictions, which causes J.D.'s head to explode (obviously in his imagination, though the signature flash is not shown). Dr. Cox then lectures J.D. about his head exploding.
