The beautiful thing about the character interaction in Scrubs compared to other shows is that the status relationships are clearly stated but can also be dynamic, depending on the plot. Many of the plot twists in this show include the temporary modification of one relationship, resulting in change in the whole nurse-doctor-resident stratification. The appearance of the temporarily equal interaction between J.D. and Dr. Cox was entertaining in a new way, but even more interesting was Dr. Cox's jumbled wrap-up when J.D. decided to make his own choices. I wonder how long that choice will last.
