"My Best Friend's Mistake" is the third episode of the American sitcom Scrubs. It originally aired as Episode 3 of Season 1 on October 9, 2001.
Episode overview
Elliot takes issue with the endearments Dr. Kelso uses on her, but naively follows Dr. Cox's advice and confronts him over it. J.D. begins to miss Turk's company with how busy both of them are; however J.D. suspects a post-op reaction with a patient just out of surgery might have something to do with him. Elliot and J.D. seem to be getting close, but an interruption might make the difference between being friends and something more than that. J.D. thinks he now has 48 hours to kiss Elliot before entering the "Friends Zone". In the end he doesn't get the kiss, deciding to be a friend to Elliot at the time. Meanwhile, J.D.'s fear of Turk no longer looking out for him is eventually proved unfounded. The patient that J.D. thought was deteriorating because of Turk's carelessness in post-op was actually diabetic, and J.D.'s treatment of insulin was actually what was damaging him. In the end, Turk was looking out for J.D. - it was Carla who realized that the patient was a diabetic and had subsequently stopped the treatment of insulin. Template:Endspoiler
The Erasure song "A Little Respect", that Dr. Wen turns out to be a great fan of, can be heard a number of times in this episode.
Guest appearances

- Vanessa Marshall as Becky
- Robert Munns as Mr. Kavanaugh
Trivia
- According to J.D., this episode is solely responsible for him and Elliot never dating. He believes that if he had made it to Elliot at the end of the episode a couple of minutes earlier, they would have started dating.
- When played in syndication, the scene when Dr. Cox is telling Elliot to "pick her battles", one of his lines is "The next doctor who comes to me looking for a cookie or a hug, I swear to Aisha I will hurt them". When he says "Aisha" his lips read "God". Perhaps this is an episode edit due to the fact that using God's name as part of an expletive is unacceptable on American television.
