My Last Words is the 152nd episode of the television series, Scrubs. The episode first aired on January 6, 2009 on ABC, following the show's departure from NBC. It immediately followed the first episode of the 8th season. The episode was written by Aseem Batra and directed by Bill Lawrence, the creator of the show.
Plot
The episode begins as Turk and J.D. are making plans for the continuation of their "bro-mantic" tradition "Steak Night" but plans are put on hold when they encounter George Valentine (Glynn Turman), a terminal patient who will probably die in the night. J.D. and Turk are convinced to leave the hospital by George leaving him in the care of new intern, Denise (Eliza Coupe), Turk and J.D. return after finding out that George has lied to them and has no family to comfort him, relieving Denise of her duties. J.D. and Turk decide to stay and talk George through his fears of death. George mentions that he would like a beer after being denied a cigar, sending J.D. and Turk out on a beer run (in which they also purchase a flare gun and a box of condoms to not "seem like losers for purchasing one can of beer"). The night soon turns into an evening of talking about life and death in an effort to cure George of his fear of dying. George initially finds it hard to open up to Turk and J.D. but soon finds comfort in the company that they bring. George questions J.D. and Turk about death and how his death will occur, highlighting the duo's own fears of passing in the process, but eventually finding some happiness. George soon becomes drowsy and falls asleep, asking J.D. and Turk if they'll be around when he wakes up, to which they reply yes. He does not wake up, and Turk and J.D. celebrate their meeting and his passing on the roof of the hospital. Turk remarks, "George was right.. This beer is good." and J.D. responds with "I wouldn't know, I don't really like beer.. Goodbye George," ending the episode with a shot from the aforementioned flare gun.
Production
This episode did not feature Dr. Cox, Dr. Kelso, Carla (except in one of JD's fantasies), Janitor, or Elliot. The only major characters appearing were JD and Turk.
