Story

No longer interns, J.D., Turk, and Elliot feel more confident in their abilities as doctors at Sacred Heart Hospital. Reluctantly helping them through their problems is Dr. Cox, as the Janitor and Dr. Kelso make things difficult for them, as usual. Relationships come and go for some characters, but the relationship between Turk and Carla grows stronger, while Dr. Cox and Jordan have their first child.

The Sacred Heart team must cope with Jordan's disclosure of secrets from the last day of their first year. ("My Overkill") Soon after, still with some hurt feelings, J.D. Elliot, and Turk, now residents, are left in charge of the ICU for a night. ("My Nightingale") All residents at the hospital compete to win a trip to Reno ("My Case Study") and shortly afterward everyone learns there are more important things, such as keeping secrets. ("My Big Mouth") The three interns try hard to find unique likable identities around the hospital, ("My New Coat") but J.D. finds out that he likes his identity better than that of his annoying brother's. ("My Big Brother") Dr. Cox is tempted by a new woman at Sacred Heart, ("My First Step"), but after sleeping with her, chooses a pregnant Jordan. ("My Fruit Cups") Elliot finds herself cut off financially from her parents, as other people around the hospital receive their own reality checks. ("My Lucky Day") After J.D. begins dating a cute girl, ("My Monster") Elliot and him hook up becoming "sex buddies". ("My Sex Buddy")

J.D. and Elliot roughly transition back to friends, ("My New Old Friend") and Turk decides to propose to Carla. ("My Philosophy") J.D.'s bad luck continues when he is responsible for getting a well loved doctor fired. ("My Brother, My Keeper") Dr. Cox sees a therapist about his personal life, and unadmittedly takes advice from J.D. ("His Story") Elliot and Carla begins having relationship problems, with Turk and a male nurse respectively, while Jordan goes into labor. ("My Karma") J.D. is tempted to join the private practice realm of medicine by a good doctor, but ultimately doesn't/ ("My Own Private Practice Guy") J.D. makes an awkward moral decision when he begins seeing a comatose patient's wife, ("My T.C.W.") and takes another awkward step when he tries to fit in with the surgeons. ("My Kingdom") When the comatose patient dies, J.D. begins sleeping with his wife, ("My Interpretation") but ends the relationship when he realizes it was only fun because it was naughty. Turk and Carla almost get married at Sacred Heart's chapel, but Turk calls it off because a low budget does not mean the can't fulfill Carla's wedding dreams. ("My Drama Queen") Shortly after, all doctors at the hospital begin questioning how much they really like their jobs, and Dr. Cox realizes his isn't worth having if he has to put up with Kelso's attitude, and punches him in the face. ("My Dream Job")
