Season 4, Episode 9 - My Malpractical Decision
November 9, 2004
The scariest malpractice attorney in the city, Neena Broderick (Julianna Margulies) comes to Sacred Heart to wreak havoc. Everyone is afraid of her steely personality except for Dr. Cox, who seems to thrive on it. Things go from bad to worse when Cox and J.D. realize that their patient, Mr. Steel, is Neena's father. Surprisingly, Neena asks J.D. to fill her in on what's happening with her father. Over coffee, J.D. realizes that Neena puts on the tough-girl act for her job but she really is sweet. Dr. Cox doesn't want to implant a defibrillator in Mr. Steel's chest because of the risks and he's not in a life/death situation, but Neena convinces J.D. to try and persuade him.
J.D. realizes that Neena is just playing him so that he'll do the procedure on her father. He later realizes that he has to do the right thing, so he tells Dr. Cox to do the procedure. Everything turns out fine. Even better, J.D. and Neena hook up at his apartment.
Patient Mr. Norman (Richard Kind), has returned for the 27th time complaining of yet another ailment. He's upset because his tennis serve hasn't bounced back since his shoulder surgery six weeks ago. Turk tries to tell him that it will take a while for the shoulder to heal. Meanwhile, Norman continues to stalk Turk, even following him home. Turk tells him that he's taken out a restraining order on him. Mr. Norman turns the tables on him by suing him, with Neena as his attorney.
Elliot tries to find a way to tell Doug that he's not cut out to be a doctor. But, it's later revealed that Doug would make a great pathologist. He seems to have an uncanny knack for figuring out how people died.
Season 4, Episode 10 - My Female Trouble
November 16, 2004
Turk and Carla are upset with J.D. now that he is dating Neena (Julianna Margulies), who is suing Turk for malpractice on behalf of Mr. Korman (Richard Kind). Korman is suing because the shoulder surgery Turk performed ruined his tennis serve. On Turk and Carla's urging, J.D. tries to break up with Neena, but she won't let him. To make matters worse, Kelso orders Ted the lawyer to settle Korman's case, giving another victory to Neena.
Fed up with all the nonsense, Carla brings Turk and Mr. Korman together. Korman admits that tennis is his only way of connecting with people, and since his serve has been affected, he's lonely. He agrees to drop the frivolous lawsuit and Dr. Cox is recruited to be his new tennis buddy.
Later, Turk and Carla catch J.D. and Neena having sex in the meeting room. They leave pissed. J.D. gets Jordan to break up with Neena for him. Jordan and Neena are the two meanest women he knows. Jordan and Neena square off like fighters from "Kill Bill." Jordan is the victor. Neena takes Todd as her next victim, while Jordan makes J.D. wear her designer jeans to stretch them out.
Elliot's new patient, Mr. Summers (Jon Polito), is a sexist hospital board member, who uses his obnoxious attitude to get away with anything and everything. When Elliot enters his room, he assumes that she is the nurse instead of the doctor. Realizing that he's going to be difficult to deal with, Elliot decides to play along, posing as a nurse. She relays Dr. Reid's orders to Mr. Summers. But, she's caught in a quandary when Summers asks to meet Reid. Elliot recruits The Janitor to pretend to be her. Things are going relatively smoothly until Cox and Jordan happen to walk by. Cox is disappointed, mainly because Elliot had grown so much in the last few months and she wasn't relying on him as much. She defends herself by saying that she treated Summers the best that she could under the circumstances.
Season 4, Episode 11 - My Unicorn
November 23, 2004
J.D.'s patient, Harrison Marks (John Bennett Perry), needs a new kidney. He doesn't have any family around who could donate a kidney, but he does apparently have an estranged son. J.D. is determined to find this son, since it could be Marks's only hope for the future. J.D. manages to find out that the son, Murray Marks (Matthew Perry), is an air traffic controller at a private airport nearby.
When the big moment of Murray seeing his dad for the first time happens, it goes completely opposite of what J.D. expected. Murray tells his dad that he can have his kidney...for $70,000.
Murray later reveals that his dad has always done something to humiliate him, starting with naming him Murray. J.D. finally convinces him to do it.
But when the lab tests come back, they tell two different things...that Murray is a tissue match for Harrison, but Harrison is not Murray's father. As expected, Murray backs out of giving up his kidney. J.D. tries to reason with Murray. Dr. Cox, even though he warned J.D. about getting involved in patients' private lives, manages to talk to Harrison. Harrison says that Murray's mom was already pregnant when he met her and his dad skipped out, so they figured they just wouldn't tell him what really happened. Murray returns and tells his dad that he can have his kidney.
Meanwhile, Elliot gets coached from Jordan and Carla on how to use her feminine wiles to get more things at the hospital. Her flirting comes back to haunt her when she cuts in line and flashes some cleavage to get an orange soda. The person she cut in front of just happened to be the person interviewing her for a fellowship position. Carla hatches up an elaborate scheme to throw the interviewer off Elliot's track, but in the end, it's the janitor who makes him reconsider. All he did was to ask him if he wanted an orange soda, like the one he was denied while standing in line, and he threatened him with telling his wife that he is having an affair. It turns out the Janitor can imitate his voice extremely well.
