"Did you just say my poison dance is only 'pretty good'!?"
This was more like it. Tonight we spent 22 minutes without J.D. and with Coxie, Turk and the new gang. I didn’t keep track exactly but I’m pretty sure each character dealt with at least three of the other characters. “Our New Girl-Bro” had three stories playing out, with all of the characters making an appearance in each of them; a hallmark of a great “Scrubs” episode.
Let’s start with our new narrator, Lucy. The cutie pie informs her father that she’s having her lady needs tended to by Cole, the jerk. They seem to be getting along and that annoys me a bit. Lucy gets embarrassed by Turk who shows a slideshow of one of her recent drunken escapades. Up to this point in the episode she was feeling very confident, so her getting her lone peg knocked down again was inevitable. Elliot sasses the crap out of Dr. Cox, impressing Lucy. When Lucy explains to Elliot she’s crazy Elliot formally introduces herself and lets her follow and worship under her feet. (Which she can no longer see since she’s rather pregnant.) Lucy later becomes disillusioned and confronts Elliot about leaving a patient in her time of need (the patient didn’t really care). Elliot tells Lucy that her being pregnant has forced her to be more selfish and Lucy has to do that too in order to survive, and Lucy takes the advice in the final scene when she doesn’t answer her ringing cell phone, opting to get much needed sleep.
Turk is upset because J.D. left yesterday. Elliot is here to take his place, and causes Turk to choke up when she mentions he says hi. (He felt the same way when he received Turk’s muffin basket.) Elliot isn’t good at pointing out an Asian Laura Dern and that annoys Turk because J.D. was good like that. Denise steals Turk’s pork chop and Turk immediately plots an insane revenge with Elliot that doesn’t go anywhere. The Todd fails his interview with Turk to be the new J.D. by mentioning he wants to bring their friendship to the next level physically. (“Weird five!”) Dr. Cox lays the truth hard on Turk, telling him he was very lucky to work with his best friend for eight years and work is supposed to suck. Denise points out an Asian Helen Hunt, Turk disagrees and says it’s Laura Dern. She’s the substitute he’s been looking for for 20 minutes! Turk and Denise are looking over a patient that isn’t going to make it. After a beat, Turk tells Denise that he hates Eileen in radiology and wants to steal her birthday cake. Denise is on that cake boat. And later they’re going to check out Nigerian Kelly Ripa. Lucy catches them scarfing down the entire cake together. I wonder what Carla would say if she were still alive. (I’m just going to assume she died. Prove me wrong Scrubs, prove me wrong.)
Dr. Cox is unsuccessful getting to Cole and it causes him to punch the wall and sprain his wrist. I hear you Perry. Dr. Cox informs Cole he’s going to be ranked last in next week’s hospital publication. Which doesn’t exist, it was a setup to get him to give a shit. Dr. Cox and Drew get Cole to do a bunch of disgusting tasks to teach the asshat a lesson. Cole is later happy because he was rated first in the ratings. Actually, it’s just the names of the students in alphabetical order, and Cole’s first name starts with two A’s. How convenient. And amusing.
What you should quote on your Twitter or Facebook:
- “First rule of pillow Fight Club is don’t talk about pillow Fight Club.”
- “I can’t believe you get to see J.D. naked! That was weird.” Yes it was Turk.
- “Aww hi J.D.! What? He’s wearing scrubs. His green ones.”
