In a continuation of the season eight premiere, the second episode of the new season was quite a bit different that the first episode. While the first episode focused more on humor, the second episode focused more on drama and character development at least in my opinion. Overall I thought the second episode was a pretty good episode just like the season eight premiere.

As already mentioned this week’s episode was a more serious episode than we usually expect out of a Scrubs episode. In this episode JD and Turk end up spending their steak night (more on that later) with a patient that is dying and has no family to spend his last moments with. What I like about Scrubs is that it occasionally has these types of episodes. While all the wackiness leads to most of the humor, these type of storylines really ground the show so it doesn’t ever get out of hand.

While most of the episode was pretty serious, there were still some pretty funny moments in the episode. First there was JD’s tendency to always picture women’s hair blowing wildly whenever he first meets them. I thought it was hilarious when the same thing happened when JD say an old woman in the hallway. I just love when a show can make fun of itself. Other funny moments included the Steak Night song and dance, and the fact that JD wants himself stuffed like Rusty when he dies.

Quotes:

JD: “The best bromantic night of the year.”

JD: “Black people have the greatest skin.”

JD: “I prefer appletinis. They make me feel fancy.”

George (about Dr. Maddox): “I think I just saw the devil.”

JD (after kicking Turk): “You know you wanted me to do that.”

George (after JD talks about his mascot outfit): “You must have looked very beautiful.”

Turk: “He already has our first day in heaven planned.”
