Television episode
"My Two Dads (Scrubs)"

"My Two Dads" is the fifth episode of the American situation comedy Scrubs. It originally aired as Episode 5 of Season 1 on October 23, 2001.

Plot

J.D. has to decide between viewing Dr. Cox or Dr. Kelso as a mentor; the decision isn't made any easier when all three, along with Dr. Kelso's lapdog Dr. Steadman, play a game of golf together. Elliot believes her breasts have healing powers but in the end sees they don't work on a dead patient, and in order to make up with Carla, Turk gives her a pen that unbeknown to him was previously removed from a patient's rectum. Turk reveals the truth to Carla despite being so close to getting what he wants. As a final test, Dr. Cox tells J.D. to help give a patient a Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (or TIPS Procedure) without insurance (basically for free or borrowing insurance money from a previous, now deceased, patient). Dr. Cox eventually receives a suspension for doing so.

Cultural References

  • During the episode's cold open, J.D. fantasizes himself as a contestant on Family Feud, answering a question about what men want to see more than anything else in the world, and correctly answers "boobs". Louie Anderson makes a cameo appearance, as he was the show's host when this episode aired (fall 2001).
  • The end of the episode features one of J.D.'s daydreams, a parody of Obi-Wan Kenobi's final duel with Darth Vader in Star Wars. Each Scrubs character references a character from the movie:
  • The name of the episode is a reference to the situation comedy My Two Dads.
  • J.D. says that Dr. Cox and Dr. Kelso are fighting over his soul, which is a reference to Platoon, which John C. McGinley was in

Continuity

  • During the montage in which we see patients who have objects stuck in their rectums, one of the objects is a light bulb. The later episode "My Office" features a subplot in which a patient has this same problem.
  • In the episode My Scrubs, Dr. Kelso is angry that one of his friends who didn't have insurance wasn't treated using a deceased person's insurance, saying that it going on behind his back is the way it's always been done.
