In this episode of Scrubs entitled "My Rule of Thumb," Dr. Cox delivers a baby in the hospital's elevator while being stuck with Turk and Carla. Meanwhile, J.D. is forced to confront his feelings for Elliot after realizing that she is the "only one" he can connect with.

As the episode begins, Dr. Cox is his usual grumpy self, complaining about everything and everyone he comes across. However, things quickly turn interesting when he, Turk, and Carla get trapped in the hospital's elevator together. It's not long before they get a call for an emergency delivery, and they are forced to deliver the baby right there in the cramped quarters of the elevator. The scene is alternately humorous and tense, as the trio works to keep the mother and baby safe while also dealing with the tight space and all the problems that come with it.

Meanwhile, J.D. begins to have feelings for Elliot after she saves his life when a patient's family member physically attacks him. As he tries to process these feelings, he confides in his friend and co-worker Turk, who advises him to act on them before it's too late. However, as J.D. tries to make his move and tell Elliot how he feels, he discovers that she already has a new boyfriend.

The episode is classic Scrubs, with plenty of laughs and heartwarming moments mixed in with the medical drama. The birth scene in particular is a standout, as the trio of doctors work together to bring the baby into the world despite the less-than-ideal circumstances.
