TV-Reviewed

I have to say that mid-way through this episode, I started to think that maybe Scrubs and I had lost our connection, but by the end of this episode, I think it came together nicely and moved every couple further.

This episode starts us off where the last one left off with three of our couples in relationship trouble. Elliot is mad because J.D. won’t declare his love in grand fashion, Turk is mad at Carla for leaving him in the pool naked, and surprisingly Jordan is mad at Dr. Cox for wasting a whole day and Dr. Cox is trying to get Jordan to just admit that she likes spending time with him.  Out of all the couples I thought Dr. Cox and Jordan’s was the one that felt like a problem that has been there since the first season and it was a good thing that the writers decided to  bring this issue up before the end of the season.

I thought it was great to hear Jordan finally admit that she likes spending time with Cox and that she loves them.  It moves the couple from a couple forced to be together, because of a child to a couple that really loves each other, but I’m sure we’ll hear more of those lovable insults before the end of the season.

Sarah Chalke as Elliot Reid

At first I thought Elliot was being a bit crazy, but maybe she isn’t. She had a good point when she mentions how it’s no problem for him to say he loves Turk, but when it comes to her, he’s nonchalant about it. This is a toughie because ultimately no woman could come in between Turk and J.D., but it looks like Elliot just may be that girl. J.D.’s “I love you” speech might be one of the most unorthodox speeches I’ve seen, but it worked and suited the character nicely. Hearing J.D. say he loves Elliot more than Turk means something to the Scrubs audience and even though it sounds stupid, we know that J.D. is in love; plus how can a girl not fall in love with a man who gives you their Brady Bunch tiki necklace.

It was funny how we felt bad for Turk last episode, but somehow Carla totally turned it around to make Turk look like the bad guy. I started to feel bad for Carla who actually does do a lot, taking care of the kids, working, and cooking, and sexing up her man every night.  It was still nice to see them resolve things when Carla walks out in a great looking bathing suit.

The wedding with the Janitor was weird just like anything the Janitor does, but it was nice to see him move on also. It was a bit of a cop-out to play around with not telling us Janitor’s real name, but I’ll buy it; I almost wish his real name was Janitor, so we didn’t have to keep thinking about what his real name actually is.

This episode moved these relationships into forever territory; meaning that I think this episode makes us believe that these relationships will last forever (even though we never doubted Turk and Carla). I think this episode put these relationships in permanent territory and I think this will probably be the last bit of drama that we’ll see relationship wise with these couples.

I can’t say that have Bob Kelso on the episode really amounted to anything and to tell you the truth, I am starting to get a little tired of him just hanging out.  I believe that this is the writers’ way of saying that Kelso’s story time on the episode really is over though. This totally wouldn’t work on any other show and it barely worked on this episode.

This was a good episode with little to not like. It’s just another one of those episodes where you realize that this really is the last season of the Scrubs that we know and love. I’m eagerly waiting for the rest of the season to figure out how they plan to close this season out with these last episodes coming up.

Rating: 7.8
