As the season opens, Turk (Donald Faison) arrives from his honeymoon with Carla (Judy Reyes) but they soon have issues when Carla tries to change many things about her new husband. Their marriage and Turk's friendship with J.D. (Zach Braff) are also endangered when J.D. and Carla share a drunken kiss. Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley) and Jordan (Christa Miller) learn that their divorce was not final, but this seemingly good news causes friction. Elliot (Sarah Chalke) is still angry with J.D. for breaking her heart, and the situation becomes more uncomfortable still when she dates J.D.'s brother Dan (Tom Cavanagh). J.D. has a new love interest of his own when a new and very attractive psychiatrist, Dr. Molly Clock (Graham), arrives at Sacred Heart. Molly serves as Elliot's mentor during her time at the hospital.
