What was meant to be a bromantic night of song, dance and steak for JD and Turk quickly turns into a profound, hours-long conversation with a dying patient. Sacred Heart's unethical new Chief of Medicine, Dr. Maddox, seems to meet her catty match when she tries to move Jordan from the computer she’s using. JD informs intern Denise - or, Jo, as he refers to her, since she reminds him of Jo from TV show The Facts of Life - that she's too abrasive. He tells her she needs to dig down in her soul and find sympathy for her patients at Sacred Heart.
Meanwhile, JD and Turk are excited about Steak Night, an annual tradition of meat and bromance they've been celebrating for a decade now. Their manly mirth is interrupted, though, when JD has to go change the IV of a patient named George. We learn that George is dying. When JD and Turk ask him if he'd like anything before they head out, he requests a beer. After bringing George his beer, the guys head out for Steak Night. George gets stuck with Denise as his night nurse, who decided she's going to make a connection by telling him about a one-night stand she had recently. JD and Turk show up after deciding that taking care of a patient means more than Steak Night.
The guys stick around the hospital in order to get to know George. The three of them discuss the questions we all have in life about what it’s like to die. J.D. and George both tell George they're not afraid of it. However, later the two of them both admit to George that they’re terrified of dying.
