"His Story IV"

"His Story IV" is the 124th episode of the American situation comedy Scrubs. It aired as episode 7 of season 6 on February 1, 2007.

Episode overview

Once again, J.D. gives up narration for the duration of the episode, this time to Sacred Heart's chief of medicine, Dr. Bob Kelso. During the episode, a wounded soldier from Iraq spawns a debate about the war in Iraq. This leads to the neglect of patients, including the soldier himself. This is one of the few episodes where we get a glimpse as to why Kelso might be the best for his job. Not only does he keep his feelings from clouding his judgement, he keeps his head in the game. When the soldier crashes, Kelso's problem solving response is alarmingly fast and he saves the young soldier's life. The arguments end when Dr. Kelso ends the employee discount at the coffee shop and everybody joins with a common hatred of him. As J.D. put it in the end of the show, "he wouldn't have it any other way."

Quotations

Turk has a friend put Elliot quotes on disposable coffee cups. The two mentioned in the episode are:

  • "I enjoy laughing at poor people" - April 2006
  • "My bajingo's on fire" - May 2004

Trivia

  • The Iraq War is discussed in this episode. Elliot and Laverne support it, while Dr. Cox and Turk oppose it. Elliot is a Republican, (Although Sarah Chalke has said in a commentary that she is not actually a Republican), as stated previously in "My Sex Buddy", and it is revealed that Keith is Republican too. Turk and Dr. Cox have negative reactions upon learning that Elliot is a Republican (despite her support for the war, Laverne also appears to react negatively to this revelation).
  • This episode guest stars Michael Weston, who is a former room mate of Zach Braff and has appeared alongside him in Garden State and The Last Kiss.
  • Sam Lloyd did his own stunts in the "Human Magic 8-Ball" sequence and the pratfall following that.
  • The name of Michael Weston's character, Private (Brian) Dancer, is a reference to the Tina Turner song, "Private Dancer".
  • This is the third episode where Dr. Kelso has referred to his "Johnny" tattoo, the other two episodes being "My First Step" and "My Déjà vu, My Déjà vu".
  • In this episode Dr. Kelso refers to the song 'I Want You to Want Me'. This song was played during one of J.D.'s fantasies in the pilot episode.
  • Kelso's daydreams are a reference to the final scene of An Officer and a Gentleman, including an Asian-language version of "Up Where We Belong".
  • "Thrift Store T-Shirt" by Brent Jordan
