Episode 4.01 'My Old Friend's New Friend'
Air date August 31, 2004
Directed by Bill Lawrence
Written by Eric Weinberg
Plot Description
J.D. gets his first introduction to the new psychiatrist, Dr. Molly Clock (Heather Graham) while she is discussing a patient's meds with a nurse. When she asks his name he tells her it's Johnny instead of J.D. Since she commits names of people she meets to her memory immediately, Johnny sticks. Molly's initial meeting with Elliot is awkward at first, but they soon find that they have a lot in common. When she encounters Dr. Cox, he realizes he may have met his match in the quick wit department.
Meanwhile, J.D. is excited because it's his last week as a resident before he becomes a full-fledged doctor. What he wants most is Dr. Cox to give him his seal of approval, and a big hug. Later, Dr. Cox tells him that he will continue to teach and guide him even when he is officially a doctor.
A hug is definitely not something J.D. will be receiving from Elliot because their friendship is still shaky after he told her that he didn't love her. And since he still lives with Turk and Carla, Elliot is feeling left out.
Turk and Carla return to work from their honeymoon. Almost immediately, Carla makes some changes. Instead of ice cream, Turk is only allowed to eat Rice Dream in the new, uncomfortable chairs Carla bought. When Turk's car, Malik, blows up, she lets him make the decision on what to buy. She suggests that he buys a used Mini-Cooper. But instead of buying a car, Turk buys three Vespa's for himself, Carla and J.D. Even when he realizes how impractical they are, Turk refuses to return them until Carla can't take it anymore and blows up at him. They both learn that they will have to do a lot of compromising if they are to have a happy marriage.

Air date September 7, 2004
Directed by Gail Mancuso
Written by Matt Tarses
Plot Description
Now that their residencies are over, J.D., Elliot and Turk are moving on to the next phases of their medical careers. Elliot is starting a cross-sectional imaging fellowship, where she'll be looking at bone biopsies. J.D. thinks he's going to be named chief resident by Dr. Cox. But that outcome could possibly change since Elliot throws her name in for consideration at the very last minute.
Cox makes a surprise decision by naming both Elliot and J.D. joint chief residents. To add to their already tense relationship, they have to share an office the size of a tiny closet.
Meanwhile, Molly Clock uses Dr. Cox as a guinea pig for research on a paper she's doing on conflict resolution between hospital personnel. She also uses conflicts between J.D./Elliot and Turk/Dr. Cox, who can't agree on how to remove a lightbulb stuck in a patient's lower g.i. tract, and her own issues with Carla as examples in her paper.
The Janitor provides Turk and Cox with some important information to help them remove the lightbulb; Carla and Molly resolve their issues about being the "go to" person when other people need advice.

Episode 4.03 'My New Game'
Air date September 14, 2004
Directed by Ken Whittingham
Written by Gabrielle Allan
Plot Description
Lawyer Ted informs Dr. Cox and Jordan that due to a legal mix-up years ago, they are still legally married. Amazingly they are happy about it and go on with their lives as a happily married couple. But the cracks begin to show immediately when they realize they may really be together for the rest of their lives. All of their annoying habits come to the surface. Things go from bad to worse, so Jordan decides to take baby Jack and go stay with her mother. Molly points out to Cox that they were happier before their marriage was re-instated, so they should go back to that time. Just as Jordan's is leaving, Cox asks her for a divorce, which she happily grants.
J.D. is annoyed that he has to be referred to as the Co-Chief resident since he's sharing the position with Elliot. He and Turk have a falling out when Turk operates on a patient and she ends up dying. Turk had asked J.D. to arrange it so that Turk would get to do the operation instead of the Todd. J.D. was hesitant, but he did it anyway and then felt guilty when she died.
Molly and Dr. Cox work together on a patient, Miss Meyers, whose looks have improved since she had reconstructive plastic surgery after an accident. She's trying to adjust to the fact that she is now attractive. Miss Meyers decides that she wants to have surgery again to restore her rather unattractive looks. Cox disagrees at first, but Molly convinces him that it's for the best.

Episode 4.04 'My First Kill'
Air date September 21, 2004
Directed by Ken Whittington
Written by Tad Quill
Plot Description
J.D. asks Dr. Cox to give his residents a pep talk to boost their courage. But instead of giving a rousing speech, Cox tells them that all of them will most likely kill a patient (either through neglect or not reacting quick enough to something) during their residency. This of course creates a mild panic among the doctors. J.D. doesn't think he has directly caused a patient's death, but Turk, Elliot and other doctors, admitted that they all had. Dr. Cox proved to be the one exception. Now J.D. is afraid that he will kill a patient in the near future.
His patient, Mr. Daniels, needs to have fluid drained from his heart using a long, thin needle, but J.D. is afraid that he might kill him, so he tries to dissuade him from having the procedure.
Meanwhile, Elliot and Molly are becoming fast friends. Elliot even invites her to Karaoke night, even though she's a little shy about revealing her off-key singing and quirky movements. Elliot receives support from Molly when she has to present one of her patients, Dean Phillips, to the ethics committee. Daniel needs a heart valve replacement, but his heroin use would destroy any benefits the surgery would provide. Despite that, Elliot is willing to fight for him to get the surgery.
But Molly surprises her when she testifies that she doesn't think Dean should have the surgery because of his many drug relapses. Despite Molly's testimony, the committee votes to let him get the heart valve anyway. But, Dean ends up missing his rehab appointments and then just disappears completely.
Molly and Elliot make up and go to Karaoke later that night.
Carla hurts Turks feelings when she demands that Rowdy the dog be kept out of the apartment. Things get worse when she accidentally leaves Rowdy on the roof of her car and he flies off, landing on the ground somewhere. Luckily, the Janitor does taxidermy as a hobby and is able to get a replacement Rowdy.

But, later, when Molly introduces Elliot to her boyfriend, who happens to be a car thief, Elliot begins to question Molly's judgment.

The phone makes it way back to Carla, who asks Turk why he has three missed calls from his ex-girlfriend Rosanna. He accuses her of making a mountain out of a molehill, so Carla retreats. Re Kylie, Turk advises J.D. to have some fun with Molly and then when she leaves he can re-focus on Kylie. Sure enough, Molly asks J.D. if he wants to go out for a beer. He happens to be on the phone with Kylie when she asks, but J.D. accepts Molly's invitation anyway. And Janitor seems to be winning his bet with Dr. Cox after Elliot jumps into his arms and declares him her man. Sure enough, Cox gives Janitor the keys to his Porsche.
