Scrubs:

Relationships are fragile, it just takes one tiny little incident and things start to snowball. And if that snowball starts to pick up speed, God forbid but it’s something Elliot and JD learn the hard way.

JD feels a little bit weird after sleeping with his best friend; although this doesn’t stop them staying in bed for an agonizing period. After the fifth time she usually likes to have ‘relationship talk’, during which they decide they’re secretly, officially boyfriend and girlfriend. However, to their amazement everybody already knows they’re having extremely pale sex with each other.

Two weeks go by and the hot new couple discover relationships don’t work the way they do in the movies; things which didn’t bother them a week ago become incredibly important, everything they used to like about each other annoys them once sex is involved, and after constantly being at each other’s throats, they break up.

Curiously Dr Cox blabberings during some voluntary psychological research as one of Kelso’s scut monkeys looking into why the staff went into medicine (was it for chicks, money, power, chicks, competitions, or to get people’s attention?), parallels JD and Elliot’s doomed relationship. Or is he talking about a certain broken marriage closer to home?
