In the first episode with Keith, he is never actually seen, but the camera shows his point-of-view multiple times throughout the episode, in which he only speaks one time, at the very end. With series protagonist J.D.'s encouragement, he quickly grows more confident in his abilities. However, for reasons that are not entirely clear, J.D. soon comes to dislike Keith. J.D.'s distaste for Keith is further exacerbated when J.D.'s ex-girlfriend Elliot Reid makes Keith her booty call. In one instance he gives all his other interns nicknames to make Keith feel left out, spawning the gag that may have been the sole purpose for Keith's rarely-referenced surname in the series. J.D. tries to get Keith fired, but the plan backfires and results in the dismissal of J.D.'s favorite intern, Cabbage. Even Dr. Perry Cox admits that Keith is a great intern. Ultimately, when Keith and Elliot's relationship becomes romantic as well as sexual, J.D. decides that since Elliot likes Keith so much, he has no choice but to like him too.A year after Keith starts dating Elliot, he and J.D. are on good terms. At one point, J.D. suggests that if Elliot had never come to Sacred Heart, the absence of sexual tension between himself and her would probably have allowed him and Keith to become best friends.Keith is in his second year at Sacred Heart, so he is now a resident. His last name is confirmed by Elliot to be German for Master of Dudes, though the word Dude does not exist in the German language (Meister does mean Master!).
