Speaker 1: Callaroga Shock Media. Scrubs Season ten, Episode six, my VIP
Speaker 1: original air date March twenty fifth, twenty twenty six. High.
Speaker 1: I'm Johnny Mack. Another solid episode of the Scrubs reboot. Now,
Speaker 1: before I get into the recap here, something that just
Speaker 1: I kept looking at as I watched it. I felt
Speaker 1: like there was a version of this episode that was
Speaker 1: written for doctor Cox and that they crossed out, or
Speaker 1: it said doctor Cox and they wrote doctor Park, which
Speaker 1: is Joe Kim Booster's character, and you know how to
Speaker 1: soften a little bit and tighten up the dialogue, but
Speaker 1: I really felt like doctor Park was saying lines meant
Speaker 1: to be delivered by John C. McGinley. The log line,
Speaker 1: JD and doctor Park are forced to work together when
Speaker 1: a member of the hospital board experiences a mysterious health crisis. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: It's Kirk helps Elliot navigate a newfound romance with the
Speaker 1: pilot guy and the entrance practice vulnerability with patients. The
Speaker 1: episode begins with JD talking about how one third of
Speaker 1: relationships begin in the workplace that it's even higher in
Speaker 1: the hospital. The problem is when a relationship goes bad,
Speaker 1: there's nowhere to hide. That's when he runs into Lily.
Speaker 1: She's the nice lady who plays the herp in the lobby.
Speaker 1: Doctor Park Joel Kim Booster sees the whole thing goes
Speaker 1: down rubs it in a little bit. Meanwhile, for the
Speaker 1: first time really we see a lot of Elliott and
Speaker 1: Turk teaming up in this episode. Turk likes the new
Speaker 1: boyfriend because he can speak in pilot voice. J D
Speaker 1: learns that one of the board members of the hospital,
Speaker 1: mister Walton, is being admitted. His wife had found him
Speaker 1: passed out at home. JD tells Doctor Park they need
Speaker 1: to work together to keep mister Walton happy. Along the way,
Speaker 1: we think that mister Walton's wife is perhaps trying to
Speaker 1: have him killed. The characters portrayed as some sort of
Speaker 1: trophy wife who maybe doesn't actually love mister Walton. Turns
Speaker 1: out in the end, Nope, everything was okay. It was
Speaker 1: just two medicines that didn't work well together. Meanwhile, Turk
Speaker 1: guides Eliot through her relationship trouble. Elliott the sides that
Speaker 1: she will spend the weekend with the pilot dude. The
Speaker 1: episode ends with JD, Turk, Todd Amara, and Deshauna out
Speaker 1: at the bar JDC's Todd aggressively hitting on a woman
Speaker 1: and offers him to hook up with the crazy Heart player.
Speaker 1: Some of the criticism of the episode is that doctor
Speaker 1: Park is intended as the new Doctor Cox because he's
Speaker 1: always insulting JD, claiming he's a better doctor and saying
Speaker 1: sarcastic things about the interns. Yeah, I think that's what happened,
Speaker 1: that they had this kind of sketched out for Doctor
Speaker 1: Cox and had to reboot. We also finally found Rowdy.
Speaker 1: Remember Rowdy, the dog from the original Rowdy is now
Speaker 1: in JD's office at the hospital. I think he looked
Speaker 1: a little worse for wear, and I'm not even sure
Speaker 1: it was the same Rowdy. Soon, Doctor Cox will be back.
Speaker 1: We know that he appears in the final two episodes
Speaker 1: of the season. I won't spoil it for you. I
Speaker 1: have seen some plot lines, but I will not say
Speaker 1: them on this podcast. Zach Braff has told tv Line,
Speaker 1: I know the fans have been really eager to see
Speaker 1: John again, and I want everyone to know he's coming back.
Speaker 1: I can't give away spoilers, but we're seeing up is
Speaker 1: a situation where if we're lucky enough to get a
Speaker 1: season two he can be around a whole lot more.
Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting that they haven't picked this thing up yet.
Speaker 1: That's kind of stunning. Zach also talked about the other
Speaker 1: missing characters. You'll say, say to the fans who miss
Speaker 1: Neil the Janitor, we only had nine episodes, and we
Speaker 1: had so much to do. I know some people are like,
Speaker 1: I want more john I want more Neil, I want
Speaker 1: more Judy Reyush plays Carla. We get it and we're
Speaker 1: working on it. In nine episodes, you have to do
Speaker 1: a setup that's a teaching hospital and introduce to the students.
Speaker 1: That's the premise of the show, and you also have
Speaker 1: to fill out a world with the new characters. If
Speaker 1: and when we're lucky enough to get a full order,
Speaker 1: our plan is to set up situations where Neil can recur,
Speaker 1: and Johnny can be there a whole lot more, and Judy,
Speaker 1: even though she's on high potential, can be there a
Speaker 1: whole lot more. I just want all the fans to
Speaker 1: know we're on the same page with you. As for
Speaker 1: JD and Elliott, zach Braff says they're settling into a friendship.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's still hard. Everyone who's at this experience
Speaker 1: knows you can go this isn't right. We aren't compatible,
Speaker 1: but it still hurts your heart when you see them
Speaker 1: flirting with someone, and that's going to be tricky for them.
Speaker 1: Their friendship's going to continue to evolve because they both
Speaker 1: really respect each other as doctors and as parents. Well,
Speaker 1: we see the family, Zach Braff said. We didn't get
Speaker 1: to tell stories about the kids because we didn't have
Speaker 1: the bandwidth with nine episodes, but there'll be more of that.
Speaker 1: Some couples get divorced and they hate each other, and
Speaker 1: then some couples get divorced because their co parents learn
Speaker 1: how to be good friends. That's the direction we're going
Speaker 1: to head with and just did as I'm recording this.
Speaker 1: Scott Fuley has joked that nobody cares about his Scrubs
Speaker 1: character not returning. Scott played Sean in the original. He's
Speaker 1: not in New Scrubs. He's in seasons one, three, and
Speaker 1: eight playing Sean Kelly, the dolphin trainer who dated Elliott.
Speaker 1: He doesn't even remember, he said, it's been so long
Speaker 1: since I did it. I think my character was in
Speaker 1: a relationship with Elizabeth Banks character. I think maybe they're
Speaker 1: married with a couple kids, nobody cares. Nobody cares about
Speaker 1: Sean anywhere. Nobody cares he did ed Zach has asked
Speaker 1: me to come back. I actually got a call right
Speaker 1: when they were starting production. They had me scheduled for
Speaker 1: an episode and we couldn't work the schedule out. So
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll find the time. What is Scott fully
Speaker 1: working on that he couldn't find time to do Scrubs anyway?
Speaker 1: Scrub Season ten, episode six, not bad. See tomorrow
