Scrubs/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

** At the end of My Jiggly Ball, when, after a patient dies because of him, Dr. Kelso steps out of the hospital, and, instead of whistling carefree like he always does, is still obviously troubled, showing he does care. Especially when the main cast walks by and he tries to resume whistling to hide the fact.

** I always like it when [[Heterosexual Life Partners|J.D and Turk]] have a heart-to-heart. The best ones are in "My Porcelain God" and "My New Game".

'''Turk''': I don't, I care what you think. }}

** Ted, the hospital lawyer and the girl he has a crush on doing a duet in the episode "My lawyer's in love." ''D'awww''.

* Mrs. Tanner comforting J.D. in "My Old Lady" after explaining him why she's ready to die.

'''Mrs. Tanner:''' Come here. (''J.D. sits on the bed and she hugs him'') You're okay. You'll be just fine, don't worry... }}

* The entire episode when Laverne {{spoiler|dies.}} This also makes the preceding episode ''retroactively'' awesome if you go back and watch it.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiJGk3Rzbvs My heart still aches.]

* [[Across The Stars|This troper]] lost it at Dr Cox's speech to Sunny.

'''Dr Cox''': For the record, he was the best that ever came through this dump. John Dorian was the first and only doctor I ever met who cared as much as I do, and you can forget about him being just an exceptional physician. 'Cause the fact of the matter is, he's a damn exceptional person. That's why people gravitated to him. That's why I did. He was my friend. }}

** Of course, Dr. Cox's reaction when he realizes that J.D. heard (and in fact planned) the whole thing doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].

* While the JD/Carla scene was wonderful, this little bit of conversation made this troper weepy and she doesn't even know why:

'''JD''': It's about the same. }}

* Don't forget the ending of "My Soul on Fire Part 2". {{spoiler|Janitor's wedding to Lady, itself a crowning moment of heartwarming, inspires a collection of crowning moments of heartwarming for each major couple to Ted's acoustic cover of "Hey Ya", which makes everything seem more poignant and beautiful (and wacky at the same time too, in classic Scrubs fashion). From Carla putting aside her mommish ways for the moment to be the sexy mate Turk had missed, to Jordan bringing herself closer to an healthy relationship with Cox by admitting genuine affection for him (accompanied by Cox's reaction of grabbing her and jumping into the pool with her) to the king of crowning moments of heartwarming between JD and Elliot, when he gives her the tiki amulet after delivering possibly the most heartwarming and romantic confession in the entire series:}}

* The 4th season Christmas episode, My Best Moment. J.D. promises a patient who comes in with a son that he'll be home by Christmas, only to be immediately reprimanded for making such a hard-to-keep promise. Not only does the patient survive, but the episode ends with the main cast reminiscing over how great that moment was. This troper watched it in the middle of summer and felt like he had a good Christmas-style heartwarming.

* Jordan and Cox's divorce. Also, after {{spoiler|her brother's death}}, when they just lean on each other, silently supporting each other through it... *sob*...

* This troper found her favourite moment of heartwarming in Scrubs in the very first episode. At the end, after J.D. realised what a terrible jerk Bob Kelso is, he is wondering "then who is the good guy?" just to get an emergency call and when he's trying to help the patient, he's suprised when dr Cox actually give him support instead of yelling at him.

* This troper's favorite is the second season finale where Dr. Cox decks Kelso in the face for being mean to Elliot after JD tells him that if he was her father he'd know what to do. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlxUmrPH2d4 Just Watch It.]

* In "My cake" after {{spoiler|JD's dad dies}} the janitor steps aside to let him get in the door and doesn't hassle him all episode.

* In "My Cake", Dr.Cox spends the entire episode trying to help J.D by taking all his patients, trying to offer him a hug and then in the end, rallies Dan, who'd been sitting in the bathtub the entire episode. To comfort him in a way that everyone involved is comfortable with, Dr.Cox and Dan sit with J.D drinking beer, talking about his father and Dr.Cox and Dan admitting they were proud of J.D.
