Once again Scrubs manages to choke me up in multiple ways and how, if not when, I least expect it. Perhaps the most haunting part of this episode is how the director infuses the piano étude immediately after Perry's meltdown, using a song from "They Fray" entitled "How to Save a Life." How has John C McGinley yet to be even nominated for an Emmy? His acting is the strongest aspect of one of the finest shows in recent television. I laugh and I tear up repeatedly.
The only downside to watching this episode is deciding if I was more moved by this episode or "My Mistake" from Season 3. Right now it's a toss-up.
