Recap / Scrubs S 2 E 5 My New Coat

Go To

A nice shiny new Doctor's Coat doesn't have the miraculous affect on his skills as J.D. hoped it would. Elliot gets a new nickname following her one night stand with an e.r. doc.


  • Artistic License – Law: JD would never have admitted to making a mistake that caused his patient's anosmia, even if he felt bad. Doing that opens you up to legal liability. Indeed, the show made that same point in one of the earliest episodes.
  • Buffy Speak: When a hot doctor hits on her, Eliot gets flustered and talks about her heart listen thingy.
  • Distracted by the Sexy: Eliot gets flustered by a hot doctor hitting on her in the cafeteria.
  • No, You: Ted screams at JD to calm down when JD asks him to calm down as he's freaking out about the possibility that JD cost his patient his sense of smell.
  • Slut-Shaming: Everyone gossips about Eliot after her one night stand. What's worst is that Turk takes part after being pressured by the attending surgeon who slept with her.
