[edit] Episode overview
J.D. has to decide between viewing Dr. Cox or Dr. Kelso as a mentor; the decision isn't made any easier when all three, along with Dr. Kelso's lapdog Dr. Steadman, play a game of golf together. Elliot believes her breasts have healing powers but in the end sees they don't work on a dead patient, and in order to make up with Carla, Turk gives her a pen that unbeknown to him was previously removed from a patient's rectum. Turk reveals the truth to Carla despite being so close to getting what he wants. As a final test, Dr. Cox tells J.D. to help give a patient a Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (or TIPS Procedure) without insurance (basically for free or borrowing insurance money from a previous, now deceased, patient). Dr. Cox eventually receives a suspension for doing so.
[edit] Trivia
- The end of the episode features one of J.D.'s daydreams, a parody of Obi-Wan Kenobi's final duel with Darth Vader in Star Wars. Each Scrubs character references a character from the movie:
- J.D. – Luke Skywalker
- Dr. Cox – Obi-Wan Kenobi
- Dr. Kelso – Darth Vader
- Turk – Han Solo
- Elliot and Carla – Princess Leia
- Janitor – Chewbacca
- Throughout the episode every character is wearing someone else's name badge.
- The name of the episode is likely an homage (or parody) of the 80's sitcom My Two Dads.
