Scrubs

One of the most important skills doctors learn

is how to keep their emotions in check.

We call this skill "doctor face."

So, during your son's surgery, we found a tumor.

- I'm so sorry. -

I wouldn't say the newbies were nailing it yet.

It's about being professional.

My doctor face had gotten better and better over the years.

You've got something on your face, Asher.

Looks like it's Amara.

Nothing could rattle me.

I'm not invited to the barbecue? But it's our tradition.

J.D., we did it for 16 years. That's hardly a tradition.

Oh, really? Then why did we record this last year?

Harmony.

Okay, fine. Carla wants to do it with Elliot and Wes this year.

You get it, buddy.

Then you go to her, and you fight for me.

I'm not strong enough, J.D. She's going through menopause.

She's having mood swings, night sweats, day sweats.

She's always wearing sweats. I'm starting to avoid her.

Hey, have you seen Turk?

Yeah, he's right…

I haven't seen him.

Whoa. You just materialized. You're like Merlin.

I've gotten good.

I see you. I ain't mad at the back either.

Okay. Okay.

We're super excited about the barbecue.

Wes is bringing something called a "Pilot's Booty."

It's first-class warmed nuts mixed with coach pretzels.

Or you could just bring ice?

We'll figure out something else to bring. Save your "Pilot's Booty" for me.

Okay, good night.

Oh!

Another hot flash?

Just shut up and fan me.

I guess Carla wanted to hide her menopause,

but it wasn't going to be easy.

Doctor faces, everyone, doctor faces.

I've been thinking, we should spend more time together, you know?

Really water the garden of our friendship.

You're not coming to the barbecue, J.D.

Oh, is that happening?

Our long-standing tradition of smoking meat

and making memories that last a lifetime?

I wasn't even thinking about it.

Seriously, it's not about that. I just… I miss you.

Don't be sweet with me right now. I can't handle it.

- Okay, it's all good. Okay. - Don't touch me.

Mr. Butler, I'm Dr. Dorian…

I'm sorry, is that ranch dressing?

I brought my own from home. I'm kind of a ranch snob.

Mr. Butler, if you don't make some serious lifestyle changes,

you're gonna suffer through bypass surgery for no reason.

But I am making lifestyle changes. I take vitamins every day.

I walk every day.

I'm down to a jug a week. I'm putting in the work.

Listen, I know making lifestyle changes is hard,

but we're going to take this one step at a time.

- Something just as important… - We can start with your beverages

as doctor face is nurse voice. And Carla was the best.

Guys, we did everything we could. This was a high-risk case.

Yeah, but that doesn't make telling the family any easier.

And yet, you are so good at it.

Actually, Dashana, you're gonna be the one

to tell the Garcia family that he passed away.

Oh, come on, man. Now, you know I'm not good at this.

Hey, other people's feelings just bring up a lotta…

You know?

- Feelings? - Yes!

Look, I'm not a crier, okay?

- I'm not even a hugger. - Oh.

Even in high school basketball, my coach told me to, "Bring it in."

Never did.

Well, you're just like me.

Hey! Come on, twin.

No. No, it was a bad thing. I needed to work on it and so do you.

Look, that family is hurting.

You need to step up and be there for them…

Because that's the job.

Even some of the old pros could struggle with doctor face.

I am Mariah Carey.

Don't look at me!

But Elliot had other things on her mind.

Carla, Wes just texted the funniest thing.

It was not funny.

All right, yeah, I get it. "Cockpit" means two things.

Classic, right?

Wait, do you not like him?

I mean, I don't really know him yet, but I'm sure he's perfectly fine.

Elliot's relationship wasn't the only one under scrutiny.

I really do need some gauze. Sorry.

- Bye. -

Okay. Anytime you have a hot flash,

ice cream in the morgue is our new go-to.

I'm just glad you're finally talking about "the change."

Call it that one more time, you're gonna find yourself in one of those drawers.

I'm not Teen Wolf.

Carla as Teen Wolf?

Don't get distracted. She needs you.

Hey, tell me. What's been going on?

Ugh!

It's been so hard, J.D.

I'm anxious, I'm moody, I can't sleep. I'm finding hair in the strangest places.

I'll bet you are.

- Hey! - Sorry!

You know what really sucks?

I'm doing everything that I used to at home and at work.

- I always feel like I'm coming up short. - Mm-hmm.

I hate aging.

Well, if it makes you feel any better,

the only thing longer than my father's earlobes…

Were his testicles.

So I've got that coming for me.

You know, that does make me feel better.

Please don't make me do this.

I wanna cut stuff, but not talk to families.

I'll just be a butcher.

Dashana, I'm gonna give you some advice

that's gotten me through some really hard times.

"The only way to grow is to face challenges

that seem beyond your strength."

That's on the poster behind me, isn't it?

It is. Put your doctor face on and get in there.

Um…

Mrs. Garcia. I am so sorry.

We did everything we could. Your husband didn't make it.

It's just so hard.

He worked all the time.

- He was such a good dad. - Oh…

It feels like you guys could just… hug each other now?

No. No, no, no. You guys are in great hands.

Take all the time you need.

- - Mmm.

For some reason, Amara really reminded me of myself.

- Give me a hug. - Uh-uh.

Let me guess, you've been kissing Asher again.

It's the craziest thing I've ever done.

And now that I've got a taste of this crazy-girl lifestyle, I want more.

I wanna try sushi, pole dancing. I wanna flash a trucker. And...

Okay, look. I love this for you, but you still live with your aunt,

so you might wanna stay off the pole.

Maybe try going out with us on a Saturday night

instead of making pasta and watching The Great British Bake Off with her.

You're right. We're going out on Saturday night.

So…

Shades inside, huh? Cool.

Looks like we're gonna get you started on IV antibiotics for your cellulitis.

What you are going to get started on is this list.

And this dressing room is unacceptable.

Baby, you was falling asleep again.

Again? What does that mean, "again"? You're always saying again.

Nah, nah, I just be talking sometimes.

I have an energy-boost smoothie

for the hardest-working woman in the hospital.

I call it "the man go pause."

- That's funny. - Yeah. So funny.

I gotta get some more napkins for my armpits.

Okay.

Would you like to borrow some of my thunder

since I stole all of yours?

J.D., I'ma tell you something right now.

You sound like that guy who went to go live with the grizzly bears.

At first he was like, "I'm the grizzly man. They love me."

And then one day, they tore his ass up.

Don't hate me just because I understand women.

You know, I should really teach a course for less enlightened guys like you.

I could call it, "Hey, man, pause."

- Turk. - Hey.

You can still eat sweet barbecue sauce with your diabetes, right?

Yeah, I mean, I got my 'pod.

I can dose insulin from my phone for any meal I want.

- Then we have some big news. - Okay.

Wes is flying a pair of lungs to save a smoker in Kansas City...

And then I'm stopping at a smoker in Kansas City to pick you up…

The best brisket in the country.

- -

Wow, that's... that's really nice. Wow. Thank you, Wes.

It's okay, Turk.

You can be happy even though I'm not invited to the barbecue.

Kansas City brisket, here we come! Let's go!

I'm gonna put a hex on his belly. Where is my witchcraft workbook?

So, Turk seemed excited.

Most meat makes Turk excited.

Three of our daughters are because they kept bringing back the McRib.

Carla, do you like Wes or not?

Honestly, I thought your first fling would be a lot more exciting.

He flies a plane. In the sky.

Yeah. You'd think that'd be more interesting. Hmm.

I have something to show you behind this curtain.

So when I told my dad about us, he said that when you really like someone,

you should do something for them every day to let them know.

His name is Asher Bear.
