Jay's cancer results arrive

This week Jay receives his cancer results. but he's too terrified to open the envelope. At work, Miriam offers to do it for him and it's good news, the cancer hasn't spread! Now the staff nurse has one more hurdle to face - telling his male colleagues that instead of going to Spain he had a testicle removed to prevent the spread of testicular cancer. When Jordan breaks the shocked silence by whistling 'Hitler Has Only Got One Ball,' and making everyone laugh, it's another big weight off Jay's mind. Meanwhile, Jay has received an irate call from Charlie about his lack of commitment to Ruth, so he decides to visit her. Ruth wants to know where he has been. However, Jay is unable to tell her the truth. But later, Ruth sneaks a peek at Jay's medical records and discovers for herself why he's been behaving strangely lately. Also this week Jordan and Miriam go head to head in a popularity contest! It's time for the board to decide who should be the sole Clinical Lead and Jordan is angry to learn that they will take the staff's appraisals of him and Miriam into account. Jordan knows that he won't win in a popularity contest and behaves like a bear with a sore head all day. When the results are announced he's shocked to discover the gang voted for him!
