Sacred Heart's staff starts saying goodbye to Laverne, who suffered terminal injuries after getting into a car accident. However,
Carla Espinosa tells everyone that Laverne could still pull through. In deep
denial, Carla hallucinates that she sees Laverne's spirit following her around and talking to her. The whole staff is heart-broken when Laverne's latest
CT scans arrive; she's
brain dead. Laverne's family decides to take her off
life support, and one by one the main characters say their own goodbyes to Laverne. Carla, in the end, learns from Laverne's spirit that she must say goodbye to the people she cares for before she loses her chance, and says her own tearful goodbye to Laverne. As Carla walks out of the room and collapses in tears in
Turk's arms, Laverne finally dies and her spirit passes away. Meanwhile,
Dr. Cox confides in
J.D. that he doesn't want people to know of his daughter's birth because it will be associated with Laverne's death, but still tells
Jordan that he has told others. Jordan becomes suspicious because no one has come to congratulate her other than J.D. Even when Laverne passes away, Jordan still does not get admirers, and in desperation she declares an ecstatic J.D. the child's godfather and agrees to name her baby Jennifer Dylan (J.D.). Cox, Elliot, Turk, Carla, Kelso, and the Janitor go to the bar to toast Laverne's memory. Elliot congratulates Cox on the new baby and ponders that the room must be a madhouse, only for Cox to remember and reveal that the only people who know are at the bar with him. He brushes it off, thinking nothing bad will come of it, unaware of what Jordan did. == Reception ==
