Ep 18. His Story II

His Story II is the eighteenth episode of the third season of the American medical comedy-drama series Scrubs, which first aired on ABC in March 2004. This episode follows the lives of two doctors working at Sacred Heart Hospital, Dr. John "J.D." Dorian and Dr. Elliot Reid.

At the start of the episode, J.D. is seen completing his usual morning rounds when he bumps into a former patient, Mr. Iverson. They catch up and discuss the reoccurrence of Mr. Iverson's cancer, which is more serious this time around. As J.D. moves on, he runs into Dr. Cox, who berates him for being overly emotional about the situation and tells him to be more pragmatic.

Meanwhile, Elliot is having trouble sleeping due to a loud and obnoxious group of patients on her floor. She turns to her ex-boyfriend, Sean, who volunteers to help her shut them up. Later, Sean confesses that he wants to marry her, and she decides to think about it.

J.D. is still struggling with Mr. Iverson's prognosis, and Dr. Cox forces him to confront his fears about losing a patient. They discuss the difficulty of accepting death and the responsibility that comes with being a doctor. This conversation clearly impacts J.D. as he becomes more stoic and less emotional.

Elliot, on the other hand, is struggling with Sean's proposal. She confides in Carla, her best friend, who advises her to listen to her heart. Carla also asks Turk, her husband and J.D.'s best friend, to talk to Sean and make sure he is sincere about his intentions.

As the day progresses, J.D. begins to reflect on his own life and the impact he has had on those around him. He thinks about his ex-girlfriend, Dr. Kim Briggs, and how he may have let her down. He is forced to face these emotions when he discovers that she is pregnant with his child.

Elliot decides to accept Sean's proposal, and they become engaged. Meanwhile, J.D. is still struggling with the news about Kim, and he goes to talk to her. They discuss their relationship and what it means for their future. Despite his initial reluctance, J.D. decides to be there for Kim and their child.

The episode ends with J.D. in the hospital chapel, talking to Mr. Iverson's wife. They discuss death and the idea of heaven, providing a poignant moment of reflection on the fragility of life.

Overall, His Story II is an emotional and thought-provoking episode that explores the complexities of life, death, and relationships. It's an excellent showcase for the show's talented cast and their ability to handle both comedic and dramatic material.
