10 Worst Scrubs Episodes
5. Their Story II (Season 8 Episode 12)
We take a break from JD's narration in this episode as the show follows the inner thoughts of the three new interns Denise, Derek and Sunny. Denise is constantly putting Elliot under pressure with her decisions, Sunny struggles to make friends and Derek tries to find a way of fitting in amongst the alphas in the hospital.
Why it sucks: This episode was clearly an attempt to shine a light on the newer characters in a hopes that, if future series were to be approved, they would be capable of carrying the mantle if the core cast were to leave. Although Denise's character showed a lot of promise, the other two were very forgettable. The worst written character by far was Derek who, was clearly meant to be a young version of Turk considering the swagger and charisma he tried to portray. If anything, Derek's character perfectly personified the fact that the current stars would not be replaced easily and it would take a lot of time and a lot better writing for them to be considered as main characters.
What doesn't suck: J.D and Turks iconic pimp walk and the fantasy that Turk replaced his testicle with a disco ball.
