The second season of Scrubs opens as the various staffers try to come to grips with surprising season-one revelations. Meanwhile, in his characteristically demonic fashion, chief of medicine Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins) deliberately steps up the competition amongst the younger staffers of Sacred Heart Hospital, putting a strain on the friendship between doctors J.D. (Zach Braff) and Turk (Donald Faison). As for sexy Dr. Elliott Reid (Sarah Clarke), she hasnt much time to pursue her romance with J.D., owing to a problem involving her living arrangements...or lack of same. In a later development, Jordan Sullivan (Christa Miller), the ex-wife of bombastic veteran doctor Perry Cox (John C. McGinley), reveals that shes pregnant, which serves only to make Dr. Cox even more ballistic than usual. And near the end of the season, Turk plans to propose to nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes), only to lose the engagement ring in a patients digestive system! Appearing as guest stars this season are three veterans of Scrubs producer Bill Lawrences first hit sitcom, Spin City: Heather Locklear (as toothsome pharmaceutical sales rep Julie Keaton, who has a fling with Dr. Cox), Richard Kind, and Alan Ruck. Also on hand are John Ritter, who plays J.D.s dad; Ed star Thomas Cavanaugh, cast as J.D.s near-lookalike brother Dan; D.L. Hughley as Turks brother Kevin; Dick Van Dyke as a brilliant but enfeebled surgeon whom Kelso hasnt the heart to fire; Rick Schroder as a murse -- male nurse -- whom Elliott briefly falls for; and Jay Mohr as a former student of Dr. Cox, who knows a little too much about his mentor for his own good. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
