Scrubs Asks, “Who Are You?”
Poor Karla wakes up from a nightmare of a dream in which J.D, Elliot and Turk are all trying to kill her. JD and Turk want to go to the waterpark, and Elliot wants the baby.
As she’s telling J.D and Turk about it, she reveals that the thing that really scares her isn’t that she was going to die, but that the dream was in English. For anyone who’s learned a second language, you understand: you can speak both languages, but when you’re dreaming in one, it’s almost like you’re losing the other. When that’s your native tongue, that’s gotta be terrifying.
Dr. Perry Cox on the other hand, has just learned from Jordan that she’s going to be away for the weekend, and the couple start a bet on who’s going to miss who first. I love that about Jordan and Perry… their ongoing little battles.
J.D has just finished nicknaming the new nurse who looks like Laverne, Laveragin (Laverne Again), when the Janitor mocks him about claiming to be a people person when he doesn’t know anyone’s name. So the two have a bet: if J.D can’t learn everyone in the hospital’s name by the end of the day, J.D will do Janitor’s job. If he can’t, Janitor will actually do his job. J.D takes him on, and believe it or not – it’s Dr. Cox who helps him.
Turk and Carla, meanwhile, are having an argument, because Carla talks to Izzy in Spanish when Turk’s not around, and it bothers him because he doesn’t speak Spanish. Carla is still upset over the dream, and is complaining because whenever people see the baby, all they see is Turk: the Little African Princess. To prove her point, Carla asks someone what race he thinks the baby is. He tells her “Half-African, half-Latina… probably Dominican, but then, I’m the new Geneticist.” That is why I love Scrubs.
Elliot sees Dr. Cox helping him and busts his balls over it, telling him he IS lonely, and… then she realizes something… it was supposed to be his day off. He is lonely.
At this point, Ted and his band begin playing “Who are you?” and it stirs up the ranks: Carla wonders who she is, Perry wonders who he’s become, and J.D wonders who everyone in the pictures is.
That night, Carla has the same dream, this time in Spanish, and she doesn’t realize it, but when she wakes up, we see Turk, headphones in his ears, trying to learn Spanish. Perry confesses to Jordan that he misses her. And J.D tells the Janitor everyone’s name: except for Janitor’s, thus losing the bet. I guess Janitor wouldn’t tell him????
