Scrubs: My Deja Vu My Deja Vu

First off, I love the title. It actually had me chuckling when I saw it on the Tivo screen and before I even started watching it.
The episode itself was good, a solid double that almost got stretched for a triple. Once again, J.D. was not the driving force behind the plot but more of a spectator to events happening around him. The central premise was that if you stay somewhere long enough things tend to repeat themselves. And so we're treated to sort of a greatest hits tape of lines from previous episodes of Scrubs. The Todd urgently tells someone there's a breast reduction surgery about to take place and he has to go stop it. J.D. stumps The Janitor with a riddle and other such things. It's a pretty funny device that at least is better than a standard sitcom clip-show.The actual original plot lines involve Elliot trying to gain Dr. Cox's respect after an embarrassing moment for her. She had thought she was helping him to regain his confidence after coming back on the job but ultimately Cox turned it into an opportunity to make a fool out of her. After she confronts him, saying that in all the years she's worked there he's never given her his respect, he makes an admission to her. He was a little gun shy in making a decision on a patient's care and she did actually help him. It's important to him, though, that he maintain his image around the hospital.
The other story has an increasingly pregnant Carla deciding that Turk can't do anything she can't do. That means no beer, no coffee and no late-night partying. That causes some problems with Turk, who doesn't understand why he has to sacrifice when he's not the pregnant one. Eventually, though, they come to a compromise and life goes on.
Good episode with plenty of laughs and dramatic moments. The best moment had to be the "Dr. Coxer" t-shirts the gang wore to welcome Dr. Cox back. NBC should totally be selling those online.
