Plot summary
Ben takes his leukemia diagnosis pretty well, much better than Jordan and J.D. Dr. Cox tells Ben, Jordan and J.D. that they can beat the cancer, earning J.D.'s hero worship. Later, Dr. Zeltzer wants to start Ben on chemotherapy straight away, but Ben doesn't want to, unhappy that Dr. Cox was not there at the first session. In fact, Dr. Cox bails from the entire situation. J.D. confronts Cox, who admits he is afraid of Ben dying, and confronts J.D. about his fear of being self-reliant for the first time. Inspired, J.D. makes his way to Ben's room, only to leave immediately when he sees Dr. Cox sitting with Ben. Fortunately, Ben's cancer goes into remission.
Turk is upset that he did not get to perform an important surgery. Bonnie, Turk's competitive colleague, has the surgery instead. Turk confronts Dr. Wen about the procedure, implying that Bonnie only got the surgery because both she and Wen are Asian. Later, Turk apologizes for his earlier behaviour and Dr. Wen accepts, but tells Turk that Todd is the best surgical intern at the hospital, due his ability to get into the "moment" and not to worry about the next move. Turk is initially upset, but eventually tells Dr. Wen that he is not worried about who is the best surgical intern right now, as he is confident he will one day be the best.
