A patient of Sacred Heart Hospital sets up J.D. for a blind date with her niece Julie Quinn who, despite her stunning beauty, is quite the klutz. Nonetheless, everything is going great as the date continues at Elliot's apartment where, as Elliot predicts, J.D. spoils a romantic moment. Elliot coaches J.D. on how to avoid ruining his relationship with Julie, including how to handle a romantic moment and to break his habit of moving too quickly. While he follows her romantic advice, he succumbs to his old habit and buys a half-acre block with Julie.
Carla and Jordan try to get Dr. Cox to do things he doesn't want to do

The Cool Cats
Ted and the Janitor are auditioning hospital staff to join their air band, The Cool Cats. Lloyd joins them on drums and The Todd auditions for lead vocals but is overshadowed by Turk who easily impresses the Cool Cats with his performance of "Poison" by Bell Biv DeVoe. Later, Turk mocks Dr. Kelso, driving Kelso to prohibit air banding in the hospital. Janitor explains to Turk that Kelso wants respect and when Turk apologizes, Kelso ends the ban on air banding.
As the episode comes to a close and all the matters are sorted out, the Cool Cats perform "More Than A Feeling" by Boston.
Plot Points
J.D. finds the perfect girl, Julie Quinn, on a blind date - whose only downfall is her clumsiness.
The Janitor (bass guitar) and Ted (lead guitar) form an Air band to win a pair of water-park tickets. They quickly recruit the help of Lloyd (on drums) and eventually Turk (lead singer) to form The Cool Cats. The band is stopped from practicing by Dr. Kelso when Turk disrespects him, but with the Janitors advice Turk eventually gets him back on side and the band play once again.
“We don't just rock together, we roll together... Cool Cats.”— Janitor
“Double or nothing, i bet i can jump from the couch to the counter. Eagle!”— J.D.
“Just don’t repeat the same mistakes you made with me. For instance, don’t speed down the road pretending your brakes are out. I don’t care if it got you laid once in high school. It is not funny and I still have not forgiven you for killing that pony.”— Elliot
What costume? - Todd
“Anyway, thanks for coming to the audition in that costume!”— Janitor
“Alright listen up and listen good. I will kill anyone who tells Carla. And that includes you Mrs. London. I will save your life and take it away.”— Dr. Cox
“Don’t go too quickly, or like I said, you’ll just end up with another beautiful girl.”— Elliot
“...but words will hurt forever.”— J.D.'s Narration
Trivia/Goofs
"Elderly" J.D. and Julie taking a photo
In the end when The Cool Cats are "playing" More Than a Feeling, Turk can bee seen lip syncing the wrong words. Though a commonly misunderstood line, he says "I may be dreaming", but the correct line is "I BEGIN dreaming".
In both scenes where Ted Buckland plays the air guitar, he plays it left handed.
When J.D. is waiting for his blind date, the camera pans to the door and you can already see the face of the older woman when she walks in, BEFORE the shot of the camera panning up to her face.
About 10.5 minutes into the episode, when J.D. pulls off his old man mask, his face is messy and his hair is greased back. On the next shot his hair is normal and his face is almost completely clean.
At the time when this episode was made, Zach Braff and Mandy Moore were dating in real life.
In between 4:04 and 4:05 you can see baby Jack squeezing Jordan's breasts.
Broker of the year Whit Prowdy is likely named after real-life Los Angeles real estate agent Whit Prouty.
