Plot

Kim moves in with J.D. so that they can raise their child and Elliot continues to plan her wedding to Keith. Meanwhile, members of Janitor's "brain trust", although Doug has been replaced with Lloyd, help Keith to become a better potential husband. J.D. learns about fatherhood and Dr. Cox's daughter, Jennifer Dylan, is baptized. But as J.D. and Elliot make big changes in their lives with their two respective relationships, they begin to wonder whether they should really be with each other.

Dr. Cox finally convinces Jordan to get rid of J.D. as the godfather of their baby and replace him with their son, Jack. They also choose Carla as the godmother.

At the end of the episode, J.D. and Elliot try to comfort each other in the on-call room as they are each questioning their commitments. They talk about their past relationship (how they were perfect for each other, with matching faults and fears of commitment) and their anxiety about the future, especially since both of them seemed to have crossed "points of no return," in their respective relationships. They realize that to escape their respective relationships, they would have to "do something huge" or "go nuclear." The episode ends with a montage, first of Turk and Carla together, then Cox and Jordan together, then Keith alone, then Kim alone, with J.D. and Elliot leaning in for a kiss, although the episode (and season) ends without showing if anything actually happened, leaving the conclusion for the beginning of next season.
