"My Overkill"

"My Overkill" is the 25th episode of the American sitcom Scrubs. It originally aired as Episode 1 of Season 2 on September 26, 2002. It is named after the Men at Work song "Overkill," and lead singer Colin Hay himself appears in the episode singing the acoustic version of song from his album Man at Work.

Episode overview

The episode starts with J.D. remembering what had happened at the end of the previous episode and season. This involved the main characters all finding out secrets about each other:

  • Dr. Cox finally finds out that J.D. has had sex with Jordan and that Dr. Kelso lied to him about the new job.
  • J.D. finds out that Elliot is still interested in him.
  • Carla finds out that Dr. Cox is attracted to her and that Turk knew without telling her.

They all avoid each other throughout apart from J.D. and Turk who are now sharing a bed as Carla kicked Turk out of his bed. However after J.D. treats a patient by doing nothing he realizes that things get better if you just give them time. At the end of the episode everybody has made up.

Trivia

  • Neil Flynn, the "Janitor" now appears as a regular cast member in the opening titles of the show.
  • The opening titles have been changed and the theme song has been extended. This extension was so reviled by fans that the opening credits were reverted to the short version after just two episodes. The extension contains an unedited section of the original song 'Superman' by Lazlo Bane.
  • In the beginning of the episode when J.D. and Turk are in bed you can see J.D.'s shoulders under the covers because he's not wearing a shirt, but then when Turk accuses him of being homophobic and takes off his covers he's fully dressed.
  • In the scene where J.D. imagines his colleagues "drifting through the hallways" a glimpse of what appears to be a skateboard attached to a rope can be seen when Carla passes Turk. The only person not on a skateboard was Sarah Chalke (Elliot Reid) due to the fact that she could use skates, unlike the rest of the cast.
