[edit] Plot
After being punched in the face by Dr. Cox, Dr Kelso is now detectable from a distance and so everyone, particularly Ted, takes advantage by slacking off when he's not around. However, as no one will admit to seeing the incident, Dr Kelso can't fire Dr Cox and therefore takes his anger out on him by making him to spend his weekends giving prisoners their yearly physicals, forcing him to spend his free time away from Jack.
Resentful that helping Elliot out has cost him time with his son, Dr. Cox refuses to help J.D. with a particularly troublesome patient. Unfortunately for J.D. the only ones willing to help him are Turk and Carla, and Elliot, though she is so deep in her personal rut that she would be more a hindrance than a help.
After much soul searching and self abuse, Elliot decides she has to turn herself around and, after getting a completely new look, marches into the hospital and forces the petulant head of Radiology to test J.D.'s patient. Finally, with some gentle coaxing from Dr. Cox, J.D. figures out the woman's illness.
Everything's wrapped up and Dr. Cox fixes Kelso's nose and Elliot meets back up with Sean.
