The second episode of Scrubs on ABC opens with JD and Turk arriving at work and talking about his welcome dinner. Turk talks about eating cake belonging to no-shows.

JD does rounds with the interns and calls Dr. Tosh Hot Mouth, earning him a visit to the hospital therapist. She tells him that is not appropriate and has The Todd come in, saying he made great growth, despite still making inappropriate comments.

 

JD vows to not let Dr. Cox down, but Dr. Park gets in his face and insults him. This leads to JD fantasizing about Dr. Park being a villain and taking him down James Bond style. Dr. Park also admits to breaking up a marriage via a three way, makes TMI comments and insults him some more.
