Scrubs - Season Four General Discussion

***~*Rach*~*** · 08-16-2004, 10:36 PM

So since the season has started and I've made this into a general season four thread, here are some episode summaries for you to feast on!

1. My Old Friend's New Friend
The new Dr. Molly Clock (Heather Graham) arrives with her spaced out personality and doesn't cease to call J.D. "Johnny". But J.D. is fine with it, because there is nothing that is going to bring down his last week of being a resident before he officially becomes a full fledged doctor.

2. My Office
Molly tries to reconsile JD and Elliot, while waiting to see which one Cox will be given the Chief Resident position. Meanwhile, Dr. Cox, Turk and Janitor are forced to work together to help a patient.

3. My New Game
It's trouble for everyone at Sacred Heart. Dr. Cox is having issues with Dr. Clock consulting his patients as well as the fact that he and Jordan are technically still married due to some filing problems. J.D. has issues of his own as he can't shake the tag of Co-Chief Resident (while Elliot keeps the Chief Resident tag). Elsewhere, Turk begins to doubt his abilities after letting a patient die, and isn't helped when he finds out J.D. has no confidence in him either.

4. My First Kill
J.D. is shocked to hear Dr. Cox (who he has called in for a pep talk) tell his interns that eventually, they will screw up and kill a patient. Though upset at first, Dr. Cox's words get to J.D. as well as he fears his first time killing someone will soon be upon him. Elliot is upset with Molly after she disagrees about a patient's promise to attend drug rehab. Carla loses Rowdy and she and the Janitor go looking for him.

5. Her Story
Elliot becomes unsure she wants Molly as her mentor when she finds out that Molly doesn't have a perfect home life. J.D. is tested in leadership skills when Dr. Cox yells at him in front of his interns. Carla and Turk try to come to an agreement when Turk continuously wakes Carla up every night.

6. My Cake
When Dan resurfaces, J.D. is shocked to learn his father has passed away. The reactions from his co-workers help J.D. a little, but the one person, Dr. Cox, who he wanted to be there for him is too busy with J.D.'s patients. Meanwhile, Dan sits drunk in the bath tub the whole day and Turk finds out he has Type II Diabetes.

NOTE: This episode is "Dedicated to Our Friend John Ritter".

7. My Common Enemy
When J.D. finds Dan with Elliot, Turk tells him to use the hurt brother excuse to get them to break up, just like Turk uses his diabetes to get stuff from Carla. But then J.D. realizes he wasn't hurt at all... Dr. Cox and Dr. Kelso unite to try and torment their common enemy -- Dr. Clock.

8. My Last Chance
When Molly takes a job in another city, she and J.D. end up having a night of kissing and he tries to rush to sleep with her before she leaves. Dr. Cox goes on Ambulance duty with a maniac who he eventually finds out is a woman who has lost her son to an accident.

NOTE: Directed by Zach Braff

9. My Malpractice Decision
J.D. is approached by a malpractice attorney, asking him to do a risky procedure on her father. Meanwhile, Elliot guides Doug to a new career path and Turk struggles to avoid a hypochondriac patient.

NOTE: The now infamous CALL-TURK episode.

10. My Female Trouble
With the case against Turk on his mind, J.D. attempts to end it with Neena, but she won't take no for an answer and keeps him wrapped around her finger until J.D. summons Jordan to get involved. And Elliot sets out to prove she isn't the doctor she was 4 years ago and doesn't need to rely on anyone anymore... and that scares Dr. Cox.

11. My Unicorn
J.D. takes matters into his own hands, when searching for a relative for his favorite patient. Meanwhile, Elliot is fed-up with co-workers not taking her seriously, and discovers she can get her way by flaunting her femininity with some help from Carla and Jordan.

NOTE: Directed by Matthew Perry.

12. My Best Moment
When J.D. must address a bunch of pre-med students about what it's like to be a doctor, he strays off the beaten path and chooses to discuss his best moments as a doctor instead. When he challenges the rest of the staff to do so, they all reminisce about their fondest memories in the medical field. Meanwhile, Elliot is forced to face her fear of children when she must befriend a ten-year-old boy, whose father is being treated in the I.C.U.

13. My Ocardial Infarction
J.D. and Elliot are finally again getting along as friends and work partners, but the balance is upset when Elliot starts showing J.D. up as the calmer, more competent doctor, thus allowing her to teach him a few things.
Where Elliot's cool is almost lost is when she realizes The Janitor may have had more in mind for their cafeteria "coffee date" when he shows up in suit and tie. His explanation for his attire leads to an a cappella sing-off between his "group" and Ted's band.
Meanwhile, Turk starts taking his diabetes more seriously when he realizes the dire consequences of the disease, until Carla reminds him that his sense of humor is what helps them both cope.

14. My Lucky Charm
A man involved in a bar fight teaches Turk and J.D. a lesson about living life to the fullest.

NOTE: Dedicated "In loving memory of Teddy Ebersol"

15. My Hypocritical Oath
J.D. has a crush on a girl that he met at a club and he's torn about telling her that her boyfriend has gonorrhea. Elliot decides to take a stand against Dr. Kelso with one of her patients.

16. My Quarantine
JD struggles to impress Kylie on their first date; during a hospital quarantine, Turk learns that Carla once dated Cox; Danni Sullivan returns to annoy everyone; Laverne, Kelso, and Janitor fight over a "face cake."

17. My Life in Four Cameras
When JD meets a former writer from his all-time favorite TV show "Cheers," JD begins to picture his life at the hospital as a bland, multiple-camera sitcom where everything is perfect and wraps up nicely. Back in reality, Cox is relunctant to fire an amiable cafeteria worker, while Turk and Carla struggle to keep their promise of constant romantic affection afloat.

18. My Roommates
Turk and Carla ask J.D. to move out to give them some space to rekindle the romance in their relationship. Suddenly homeless, J.D. tries to use the situation to his advantage by asking his girlfriend Kylie if he can stay at her place. Meanwhile, Dr. Cox gets a visit from his high school friend Ron. Dr. Cox and Ron's relationship has always been highly competitive, and just when Dr. Cox thinks he has the upper hand, the discovery that Ron's son may be autistic sends them into unfamiliar territory.

19. My Best Laid Plans
JD ditches a seemingly uninterested Kylie for Dr. Clock, who just returned from Milwaukee; Carla fumes over Turk's frequent phone calls to an ex-girlfriend; Janitor and Cox make a wager over Elliot.

NOTE: Directed by Zach Braff

20. My Boss's Free Haircut
Kelso dons scrubs to prove a point to Cox, only to watch it backfire when an obnoxious patient refuses to listen to him; JD and Turk party while Carla struggles to find solace in Elliot.

21. My Lips Are Sealed
When Carla and J.D. go out to let Carla have some fun, they get drunk and end up accidentally kissing. Dr. Cox gets the hammer dropped by Jordan when Jack has to get stitches under Perry's watch. Elliot has trouble with a male patient who has taken enhancement pills.

22. My Big Move
JD and Carla get the silent treatment from Turk, who can't seem to control his emotions after learning about their kiss; Cox reluctantly seeks the help of Elliot when an epileptic patient won't listen to him; Janitor feels emasculated by his new uniform; Jordan trys Botox.

23. My Faith in Humanity
Turk won't open up at couples therapy; Elliot refuses Cox's romantic advice when a very attractive man saunters into the hospital; JD learns a lesson in humanity from a dying old woman; Janitor accidently lets a bunch of rats run around Sacred Heart.

24. My Drive-By
Elliot is torn between moving too quickly and ruining her new relationship with Jake. Dr. Cox teaches Turk about having a healthy ego and Dr. Kelso and the Janitor fight over who gets to use the motorized cart.

25. My Changing Ways
With their residencies over, there are big changes at Sacred Heart. J.D. moves out to live on his own while Turk and Carla consider a family change, creating another rift in their long friendship; Jordan is hired to handle some paperwork for Kelso, which annoys Cox; Elliot receives a job offer from another hospital.

Ooh, thanks for that! *changes it*

youdodoodletoo · 08-22-2004, 02:54 PM

Anyone know what the title of the first episode is going to be ?

That's not to spoiler-ish is it ?

***~*Rach*~*** · 08-22-2004, 08:10 PM

I wouldn't say it's spoilerish at all

It's going to be called My Old Friend's New Friend. I also read that the reason it's starting at 9.25 instead of 9.30 that night is that it's going to be supersized!

According to TVtome.com, the next two episodes are called My Office and My New Game, although I don't know where they came from or how reliable they are.

SheRuns · 08-23-2004, 01:31 AM

I'm really glad I came in here, because I didn't know the season was starting already!

This will teach me not to pay attention to stuff like that.

***~*Rach*~*** · 08-23-2004, 01:32 AM

Yeah! Consider yourself all ... taught ... and stuff.

I just told Tonya the season starts next Sunday. I capitalised it and everything.

Then I realised that the 31st is in fact a Tuesday and I just can't count.

Thanks for the info Rach.

No problemo!

Eehh, I'm so excited!

It only feels like five minutes since the season ended and we were lamenting a Scrubs-less summer!

I am so excited for the premiere! I can't believe it's almost here! I thought for sure we'd have a month or so to go. I guess this makes up for the fact that it ended so early last season. Yay for seven days!

imajica · 08-25-2004, 06:42 AM

I am so jealous - We still haven't even seen season 3 in australia and they haven't said when they are bringing it back

I'm excited for you guys though.

mcdreamylover · 08-25-2004, 12:11 PM

I'm glad it's about to start but the one down side since the season is starting earlier than nomral that means it will end earlier which sucks.

I know what you mean! But I've decided to be happy now, for it starting, and then just complain when it ends early
