Can someone give a summary of Tuesday’s show please? I completely forgot about watching it.
As typical of Scrubs, there were three plotlines that all reflected the same point at the end.
JD discovers that his brother has been seeing Elliot. This doesn’t bother him, but Turk tells him that he should let her think that it does bother him so that Elliot will feel guilty and forgive him for dumping her.
After doing this JD’s brother breaks up with Elliot and gets depressed. JD goes to Elliot’s apartment to let her know that he really wasn’t upset and that she can take his brother back, only to find his brother there. They had only told him they were breaking up to make him feel better (and Elliot looked hot in that nightgown). In the end they discover all their romantic feelings are gone and they can be friends again.
Meanwhile, Turk has been using his diabeties to manipulate Carla. He tells her that he’s having a low blood sugar so she’ll cook for him.
Carla is offered a new job that would make a lot more money, but turns is down because she needs to have the time to take care of Turk’s diabeties. Turk admits what he was doing and makes a deal with Dr. Kelso to offer her the job again. She refuses and admits she didn’t really want the job, she was using his diabeties as an excuse.
Meanwhile… Dr. Kelso and Dr. Cox join forces to teach the one played by Heather Graham (I forget the character’s name) that people are evil and not all good inside. Kelso tells her that she can’t switch shifts and therefore can’t go to Mexico for her mother’s wedding. She says it’s fine, she understands. The doctors watch her from behind a bush and she starts crying. They feel guilty and come out and tell her what they were up to and that she can go, which proves her point that everybody is good on the inside. And that she knew what they were up to and was faking the crying.
Quote of the episode: “People are bastard covered bastards with a bastard center.”
Dr. Cox, later also said by Dr. Kelso
I, who have never donned a sig line, am sorely tempted to use, “Most people right here on this planet are bastards. In fact, they’re bastard-covered bastards with a bastard center.”
Why hasn’t John C. McGinley gotten his long-overdue Emmy?
Also, someone out there needs to make a Dr. Cox soundboard. SERIOUSLY.
Another great moment comes from Dr. Molly Clock (Heather Graham’s character) whistling the “Andy Griffith Show” tune, which infectiously spreads to bystanders throughout the cafeteria, causing Dr. Cox to flee.
Heather Graham’s stunt-casting has been a winner. I wish her character would stay.
Oops. Correction: “People are bastard-coated bastards with a bastard* filling*.”
