Plot

The show starts with J.D. making a video postcard for his mother, but gets locked in a water tower for the day by the Janitor. Most of the show is then narrated by the Janitor. During the episode, he helps Carla with a patient by holding down his legs while the patient is having a seizure. After being thanked, the Janitor starts to feel important around for once, and also doesn't feel like acting like a jerk. That's until he overheard a conversation between two residents about how the whole thing is going to his head. Throughout the episode, he was talking to a disabled man who can't talk or move, and can only communicate with a computer that broke early in the episode. While the disabled patient was waiting for a new computer, the Janitor starts to talk to him to comfort him. He then starts talking about his problems, and that he thought he was part of the Hospital staff for working here. He soon released J.D. after Dr. Cox came back (as J.D.'s break was over), and the narration went back to him.
