    A great episode, and it definitely brings a lot of development to the Scrubs group. You can tell that everyone is out of "the first days" stage, and sort of grown as doctors. Now new people are coming in, which was them a couple months ago and you definitely see some similarities and some cautionary tales for the group. JD's medical student is Josh, and he doesn't do any work. JD eventually yells at him, and Josh quits. JD helps him through his fear of becoming a doctor. Just like Cox did to JD. A HUGE similarity between the two situations, and it was definitely an enjoyable watch. Meanwhile Turk gets Kristin, a girl that Cox is interested in. Turk helps him get Kristin so he can stop focusing so much on Carla. A great plot, and a great storyline in the Cox loves Carla arc. 'Cause it turns out by the end, that Cox still has feelings for Carla. Kristin doesn't care. I'm liking the actress who play Kristin, I'm not sure I like the character. Still a great plot. Elliot can't wait till she gets to be a jerk to her med student since she was always treated like that. Until she finds out that her med student is son of the director of the hospital. So now she has to do all his work for him. Until Kelso tells her that she can do whatever she wants. A funny enjoyable plot. Overall this episode was really great.moreless

    Very funny episode. It was interesting to see them dealing with the med students. It was nice to see JD acting a little like Dr Cox. The med students weren't exactaly likeable, but that was part of the story line. I have to say that i enjoyed Elliot and Turk's plot a little more than JD. His student was just a little bit too dorky and really not made to be a doctor. Elliot being a jerk to her med student was really funny. Phil was really annoying so he deserved it. Dr Cox and Kristen was very funny too. Even though i already wanted Cox with Jordan back then.moreless

    I liked this episode a lot. I thought it was about time that they got medical students or something like that and it was just a very good episode! I think it is so like JD to accidentally make someone like Josh quit his job! It was a really funny episode, I thought, like with Dr. Cox and Turk's medical student or whatever and how Turk was showing his underpants, I think. It was a pretty good episode all around it had the typical Scrubs humor in it and it was as original as the next Scrubs episode! A very good episode, as usual.moreless

    This episode is a very good turnaround one as it shows that the interns are in charge of people for once. Elliot having to be nice because the jerk student's father is an important member of the medical community, Turk having to deal with Dr Cox and his med student flirting and JD having the most useless student ever really changing their opinions on the med students being a great experience.

    This episode has some brilliant lines such as Turk saying that Cox likes Carla, when his med student is obviously a way of getting Cox's attention away from Carla. Overall, this episode is very entertaining.moreless

    • Approximately 1 minute 54 seconds into the episode, right after Dr. Cox calls Elliot, J.D. and Turk "Mod Squad", as they are walking away from him around the corner, J.D. lifts his arms and in the process, the top of his scrubs. His waistline shows, and you can clearly see the microphone cable running up his belly from his waistline. Edit

  • Quotes

    ADD QUOTES
    • J.D.'s narration: I think a lot of us freak out when med students come because it feels like being forced to accept new people into your family. It changes everything. Me, I was more struck by how these newbies made me look at myself. Who I used to be (shows Josh), who I am now (shows himself) and who I might some day become (shows Dr. Cox). But hopefully, not too soon. Edit
    • Dr. Cox: You wanna know something? Kristen: What? Dr. Cox: I feel like I'm using you to get past another person. Kristen: That's not as sexy as you think it is. Edit
    • Kristen: Perry? Dr. Cox: Actually, I prefer Dr. Cox. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • The Three Stooges: Dr. Cox: (To Turk) Whoa there, Curly. Curly was one of the Three Stooges, a comedy act of the first half of the 20th century. Best known for their numerous short films and a television series, The Three Stooges Show, they originally featured the three-man line-up of brothers Harry Moses Horwitz (Moe) and Samuel Horwitz (Shemp) and long-time friend Laurence Feinberg ("Larry Fine"). Shemp was later replaced by Jerome Howard (Curly) in 1932. Edit
    • LL Cool J: Dr. Kelso: "What up"? Whitaker Chambers is the CEO of the corporation that owns this hospital, so I suggest you stop acting like LL Cool Reid and start acting like Dr. Reid. You dig? This is an obvious play with LL Cool J's name, an American hip hop artist and actor who is one of a few hip-hop stars to sustain a successful recording career for more than two decades, being on the brink of releasing his 13th album. Edit
    • The Incredible Hulk: When J.D. gets mad because Josh failed all day and didn't do the paperwork he was supposed to do, he turns green, bursts out of his clothing and changes into the Hulk. The Incredible Hulk is one of Marvel Comics' most known superheroes, being considered a pop culture icon. He is the alter ego of Dr. Robert Bruce Banner, a genius in nuclear physics who as a result of exposure to gamma radiation became a large, superhumanly strong green creature. Edit
