Episode overview

Jordan's siblings, Danni and Ben, return to help prepare a gathering for Dr. Cox's son's first birthday. Turk and Carla clash over removing Turk's mole, and changing Carla's last name after they marry, while one of Ted's band members quits. Dr. Cox angrily blames J.D. for a patient's death and dismisses him, but Ben calms Dr. Cox down and talks some sense into him, and he eventually forgives J.D.

It is revealed in the end that Cox was in denial. It was actually Ben himself who had died: the gathering everyone prepares for turns out to be his funeral. However, assumably it was Ben's ghost that remained by Cox's side long enough to make sure Cox could work out his issues. Cox, devestated by the loss of his brother-in-law and best friend, tries to hold back tears, but fails.
