  • This episode left me with a good feeling.

    Michael J Fox continues to be an amazing addition to this show. His guest appearance is probably one of the best things that has happened to this show. +All plots were heartwarming in their own way. JD becomes Turk's best man, but then he finds out that he was the second choice, since Turk's brother couldn't make it to the wedding, he spends the rest of the episode avoiding Turk. Meanwhile Cox & Carla continue to have amazing chemistry as they go against Kelso when Kelso closes one of the wings of the hospital due to financial purposes. They need that extra wing though considering their hospital is always packed now. The janitor builds a roof toilet, which is what this episode revolves around. Everyone seems to be having epiphanies on that toilet. Dr. Kevin Casey & Elliot are the only people who haven't used the toilet. Elliot's plot is my favorite because I'm sure a lot of doctors can relate to not being able to do something, because you're afraid you're going to mess up. She can't intubate, and she feels bad since Kevin Casey was the only person that hadn't helped her. She finally does get helped by the end, as she goes on the toilet and has an epiphany. She gets over her fear of intubation thanks to Dr. Kevin Casey. That scene when the helicopter landed gave me chills all over and made this episode just a feel good episode. Turk & JD's conversation on the car, really showed how great of friends they are. Cox & Carla wonder if Kelso is a nice person outside of the hospital since he decides to reopen the hospital wing, I loved the transitioning in that scene. All plots were incredibly heartwarming, and this episode was just a feel good episode in general, also gave some development to Carla/Turk's wedding. Amazing episode.moreless

    Dr. Casey and JD discover the Janitor's toilet on the roof-top (dubbed the Epiphany toilet),it warrants the name after many of the staff realise solutions to the problems they're having after using it. Dr. Kelso closes down an entire wing of the hospital to save money. Dr. Cox and Carla fight back by using his own office as a room. Turk asks J.D. to be his best man, but he realizes later he wasn't Turk's first choice. Elliot seeks help from Dr. Casey as she is becoming fearful to intubate patients after botching an intubation.

    This was really a above average episode. Dr Casey was hilarious and i loved how he helped out the other characters, even though he has his own share of problems.moreless

    It was kind of sad to see Kevin Casey leave, even though he was only suppose to be a guest star. Anyway, just like My Catalyst, M.J Fox played his character very well, bringing joy and humor and heart warming to this episode.

    This episode was a very, good, old, classic "Supersized" episode as it was a run time of 26 minutes. In that time we saw humor with the roof toilet the Janitor had fitted on top of the hospital.

    This is an episode that is definatly in my Top 10 Scrubs Episodes. If you havn't seen yet, make sure you do.moreless

    Janitor: That, my friends, is a roof toilet.
    Dr. Casey: I'm sorry, you said that like it's a normal thing.

    Another excellent cameo from a celebrity, I've said it before and I'll say it again Scrubs really has a knack for picking great guest stars and great roles to put them in.

    Michael J. Fox as an OCD inflicted doctor is such fun to watch. It is really a treat to see him on television again and get to experience his skill and work on screen.

    This is probably one of his weirdest roles, I mean he just couldn't conquer that roof toilet...or could he?moreless

    I love this episode, deeply and truly. The addition of Dr. Kevin Casey (Michael J. Fox) gives this episode another layer. Kevin becomes the shrink around the hospital, helping everybody out with their individual problems. Turk asks J.D. to be the best man at his wedding, and we are really shown on this episode how close J.D. and Turk really are. Then, when J.D. hears a message from Turks brother, he finds out that Turk asked his brother to be his best man before he asked J.D. This leads to J.D. questioning his friendship with Turk. Meanwhile, Kevin struggles with using The Janitors roof toilet, and Elliot struggles with completing a simple medical procedure that she shouldve mastered years ago.

    It all comes to a head when both Kevin and Elliot use The Janitors rooftop Epiphany Toilet. Kevin is able to get over his fear of the germs, and Elliot gets her epiphany and is suddenly able to complete the procedure. Meanwhile, Turk and J.D. sit outside on Turks car and have a memorable heart-to-heart about the wedding.

    This episode is quoteable, memorable, and it leaves you just feeling good all over. 10/10.moreless
