Even if this wasn't such a ground breaking episode that Scrubs is famous for, it was still a really amazing episode, and probably one of my favorites of Season 6. Season 6 has been going strong sure it's had it's pitfalls, but this episode and the previous episodes proved Scrubs can just get back up from a pitfall and bounce back fast. Some people call this episode a filler, and you know what it probably was but fillers are sometimes good for shows so they're not so over the top, and just watching any ol' episode of Scrubs sets us in our comfort zones, which is probably what this episode did for us. I read a review, and I think this person said it perfectly. This Scrubs episode mixed the old comedy with the new comedy, and we even have a returning character, from the past.
Sam, who scammed Elliot in to getting drugs in the third season is back and claims he's clean as her is a drug counselor now. Elliot believes he's clean, but Cox does not. The past comes back to haunt Carla when the janitor blackmails Carla, since the janitor got her a fake Rowdy when she lost the real one. Kelso is treating a patient with no insurance, unknowingly. Someone from the hospital keeps stealing the scrubs. Which connects with the patient with no insurance since Kelso overreacts to the scrubs being stolen. JD & Turk get two Rowdy's, well one Rowdy, and one Steven. This episode had all the entities of the first couple seasons but with a new spin on things. Satisfying season 6, one of the best of season 6.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- In the season 1 episode "My Sacrificial Clam" there is a scene with the hospital's "Scrubs Machine" that involves putting dirty scrubs in to get clean scrubs out. If this was still in use, it would have been impossible for everyone to be stealing all of those scrubs. It must have been removed since then. Edit
- When Dr. Cox walks into the door while being distracted by Elliot, he clearly takes his hands out of his lab coat pockets and pushes against the door with them to give the impression of him hitting the door. Edit
- The ad for the baby tracker reads "for white babies" and "protects your precious one from freaks and weirdos!" Also, the website for the product is "www.babytracker.poo". Edit

Notes
ADD NOTES- Original International Air Dates: Denmark: April 4, 2007 on TV3 Edit
- This was the first Scrubs episode written by Clarence Livingston. Edit
- A scene with Dr. Kelso walking into the hospital with one of his shoes' "wingtip" missing was cut out. It was supposed to air right after the park scene, where Dr. Kelso explains the wingtip game to the frisbee player. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Sam: Come on man, you don't know how hard it's been staying straight. Todd: Been there brother! Edit
- (Carla standing in front of Turk's car with Laverne) Carla: Here's the deal. When nobody's looking, we'll grab Steven and make him go bye-bye so there will only be one dog left. So when "Lurch" suddenly shows up with the real Rowdy, Turk will have to assume he is the one who stole him from the car. Got it? Laverne: Whatever, let's do this. (Takes a deep breath) LAVERNE ROBERRRTTS! (Smashes the passenger window.) Carla: I have the keys. Laverne: My Bad. Edit
- Elliot: (After Dr. Kelso changed the scrubs colors to brown) I actually don't mind the new scrubs. It really makes my outfit pop. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Pet Sematary: Ted claims that he saw a "lifeless ghost dog" which scared him that morning while in his car and Dr. Kelso scoffs at him for thinking he would feel guilty about building a "paving over that Indian burial ground". This is similar to Stephen King's Pet Sematary in which the main character buries the family's dead cat in a cursed Indian burial ground and it comes back to life. Edit
- Fame: When the hospital crew gets their normal scrubs back, J.D. fantasizes about all of them coming to the hospital dancing and jumping, just like in the movie Fame. Edit
- Leeroy Jenkins: Laverne saying "let's do this" and shouting out her name before smashing the car window is an allusion to the virtual World of Warcraft character Leeroy Jenkins, who shouted out his name before ruining the game for everyone else in his party. Edit
