Meanwhile, Turk becomes overly competitive when he discovers that Dr. Cox has started a barbershop quartet and he is not invited to join.
JD struggles to come to terms with Elliot's relationship with Keith and feels betrayed that she would keep it a secret from him. He tries to act like it does not bother him, but it becomes clear to everyone around him that he is upset. The situation is made worse when Keith ends up in an accident and the whole hospital becomes aware of Elliot's relationship with him.

However, as the quartet's first performance approaches, it becomes clear that Turk may have put too much pressure on himself, leading to hilarious consequences.
Meanwhile, the rest of the hospital staff deal with their own issues - Carla tries to come up with a way to fix Keith's broken arm without cutting it open, while Janitor sets out to prove to everyone that he is not a "bad luck charm".
