Isn't she lovely?

I wonder about JD sometimes. In this episode, he meets a therapist who sends his heart spinning. But he is reluctant to ask her out, even at the urging of the patient she is working with. JD and this patient eventually make some kind of bet, as I recall, which will encourage JD to ask her out. Considering JD has done the Seinfeld thing and slept with almost every beautiful woman who has appeared on the show, including an inordinate number of blondes, I cannot imagine him being shy around any woman. I guess that's part of his appeal. Turk breaks his arm in the silliest way imaginable, which puts him in Cox's hands for a few weeks. Look out, now! Elliott invites Keith to move in with her, but all does not go well.
