Plot

Billy (Colin Farrell) has brought a guy to the hospital because he was knocked unconscious after a bar fight. At first J.D. and Turk think the guy is Billy's brother because that's what Carla told them. They later find out that it's not Billy's brother, but Billy doesn't know his name or any other information about him. Billy admits that he's the guy who knocked him out.

Billy is a free spirit who embraces life. He tries to impart that same spirit to J.D. and Turk. The way they act together, Billy initially thinks that they are closer than just friends, but they quickly explain that they are just good buddies. Billy's philosophy of experiencing new things extends to making out with Elliot. He almost kisses Carla after he tells her that her hair is curly, but Turk steps in just as she's about to kiss Billy.

Meanwhile, Carla and Elliot make elaborate plans to hang out only for them both to flake on them later. Janitor, deciding that he'll be "busting chops" today, reveals that Carla forgot all about them and Elliot lied about going to Cantonese class to get out of them. Their fight escalates when Billy gets involved being that they're both attracted to him.
