“Elliot Reid. Moment Killer.”— J.D.'s narration

Contents

[edit] Synopsis

J.D. asks Kim out on a date, but suddenly he begins to panic about where to take her, wanting the perfect first date for her. He decides he wants to take her bareback horse riding across the beach. This takes a turn for the worst, as J.D. painfully learns the dangers of a man bareback riding down the beach. Fortunately, Kim's specialty is urology and she helps J.D. with his manly pains, much to his dismay. The date then moves back to the apartment, where they are interrupted by Elliot Reid (who leaps in, knowing full well Kim and J.D. could be having a romantic moment), referred to as "Elliot Reid - Moment Killer."

The next day at the hospital, Elliot plans Carla's baby shower, which is to take place in the cafeteria, while Carla invites people to feel the baby kicking. Jordan and Dr. Cox use the baby shower as an excuse to rid themselves of all their baby gear, as Jack has just completed, or is at least thought to have completed, his potty training.

J.D. attempts to ask Kim out on a second date, but is once again blocked by Elliot who has made plans to go to a Neil Diamond concert with Kim. Later, J.D. goes on his first scooter rally, and then when he is alone for the night, he calls his mother. Luckily Elliot has a change of heart, and Kim arrives at J.D.'s unexpectedly and the two spend the night star gazing.

The episode begins to draw and Jordan is found to be pregnant again (despite Dr Cox's vasectomy and Jordan's fidelity), much to their anger and dismay. Dr. Cox and Jordan then duct tape the doctor who performed the vasectomy to his desk chair, forcing him to listen to The Worthless Peons sing the Chili's "I Want My Baby Back Ribs" song while only repeating the "I want my baby back baby back..." part over and over. Later at night Carla and Turk go around Jordan and Dr. Cox's and discuss the pregnancy. The episode then cuts to two and a half weeks later where J.D. arrives at Kim's door with flowers, hoping for a third date. She tells him that she is pregnant.

[edit] Plot Points

  • J.D. worries about making his first date with Kim perfect.
  • Elliot plans Carla's baby shower.
  • J.D. and Jordan receive some very surprising news.

[edit] Recurring Themes

[edit] Fantasies

  • J.D. sees Kim and Elliot communicating at the speed of light and fantasizes about slowing it down so humans can understand it.
  • J.D. wonders how he can make dinner and go to karaoke in the same night. His solution? Floating Head Doctor. Head is shown singing "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" on stage with Kim.
  • When Elliot barges in on Kim and J.D., he sees her enter the room as "Elliot Reid: Moment Killer". It happens a second time when J.D. finds out Elliot is taking Kim to a Neil Diamond concert that will preclude Kim from going out on a second date with him.

[edit] Janitor story

Janitor gives a pet carrier to Turk and Carla. He says it's a baby cage like the one he had as a baby only better--this one has windows. When he sees that everyone is disturbed by this idea, he says he was kidding and that it's for when they buy the baby a puppy. Janitor is later shown on the phone with his mother complaining about having been in a pet carrier as a baby.

[edit] Quotes

(Knowing that this joke could results in a second date or disappointment)

“The swelling's gone down... For now...”— J.D.

(Tense moments as J.D. waits for Kim's response. She laughs)

“You're an idiot!”— Kim


“Eurgh... I hate clearing up after those messy old queens... Oooh, Appletini! When did they start drinking straight guy drinks?”— J.D.'s narration


“I pooped in my bed so I put in on the TV.”— Jack talking to Dr. Cox

[edit] Trivia

  • While J.D. and Kim are horse riding on the beach, one shot shows J.D. strapped onto the horse.
  • The doctor who Dr. Cox and Jordan punish is not the doctor who performed the vasectomy in My Lucky Charm. However, you never see the doctor who performs Dr. Cox's second vasectomy, so it can be assumed that two different doctors performed Dr. Cox's operations.
  • As a test, this was the first episode of Scrubs to ever be broadcast in High Definition (HD) in the US. However, the test didn't go over well and the decision was made to continue broadcasting in 4:3 Standard Definition. However, from Season Eight on the show is produced and broadcast in HD.
  • The bareback horse-rider gag is lifted from Donald Faison's previous series, Clueless, where he, in the role of Murray, is the bareback-rider.
