Part of this episode felt like a preview of how the show would be like if it continues for another season without the main cast. It’s because it’s one of the very few episode where J.D. was missing. The episode was decent, but Zach Braff was missed.

This episode was proof that if Scrubs goes on for another season without Zach Braff that it could very well be watch able, but it will seriously lack everything that makes Scrubs unique. The story in this episode was scattered everywhere and it wasn’t that engaging, but what did save this episode was the good dialogue.

See, this show needs me.

Elliot is seen most of this episode talking to J.D. on the cell phone which lead to a funny prank in the beginning of the episode and the end where J.D. tells Elliot to put her cell phone in Dr. Cox’s pocket. The whole J.D. and Dr. Cox relationship never gets old for some reason. Another funny moment had Turk telling J.D. that he and Carla were going have another baby only for J.D. not to be that excited about it, but not realizing that he was on speaker phone when he said it.

Yeah, so Turk and Carla are having a baby; this one kind of came out of nowhere and I loved how the show didn’t treat it like a big event. Actually everyone in the hospital didn’t get too excited, which disappointed Turk and he ends up telling people that it’s his first child, and unfortunately lying to Ted’s new girlfriend Stephanie, who apparently has a bit of a mean streak.

We also had more of Denise and her obsession with fat guys. Denise is starting to become a character that I like having around. It’s a bit weird how she now eats with Elliot and even Dr. Kelso (who likes her) when she wasn’t the most liked Dr. around last episode, but she’s fun to have around.

This was one of those decent episodes, but will probably not be memorable. There weren’t any storylines that were that engaging; sure Carla not caring about comatose patients shows how the doctors have changed since the first season of the show, but it didn’t feel like that big of a deal.

So this episode definitely lacked Zach Braff being in the episode, but it wasn’t total trash; let’s just make sure that we get J.D. back next episode.

Rating: 7.2
