Copy and Paste
I refuse to watch them do this.
In Season 9, E8 "My Odds":
Cox collapses → JD thinks the treatment will work → finale reveals it’s NOT working. Sound familiar?
That’s the exact setup from Season 1 with Ben Sullivan.
Remission episode → we think he’s okay → he dies in season 3 → and they used the "Cox doesn’t know what’s real" POV gimmick to deliver it.
They even copied the 3-person split-screen that they used in S1:E23 "My Hero"
Now we know 3 things heading into S10:
ABC confirmed Cox will be "more thickly woven into S2... as a patient"
McGinley said the diagnosis was to create "jeopardy" and a "personal threat" for JD
Bill Lawrence said the finale sets up Cox returning as a patient eae52364
My prediction: *Ep 2 of S10. They kill him.*
And they’ll use the reality-distortion gimmick again. "Is this a hallucination? Is JD talking to him? Where is Cox?"
It’s a direct copy and paste. No creativity. Just pillaging the corpse of the original run for the one cheap gut-punch they know still works.
And the worst part? Kelso ran that hospital for decades and didn’t even get a portrait on the v wall. But they’ll roll out the red carpet for another mentor-death episode.
If they do this, I’m out. _Scrubs_ S1-8 was perfect. This is just a nostalgia cash-grab that doesn’t respect the characters.
Anyone else see this coming a mile away?
