My Cookie Pants is the 6th episode of the eighth season of the ABC Studios television series Scrubs, and 156th episode overall. It was broadcast on January 27, 2009.

Plot

J.D. tries to teach Denise to use compassion while dealing with patients, and stops trying to make her better when she orders a test for a patient that J.D. said not to, which reveals that the patient had stomach cancer.

Elliot seeks Turk's advice on reigniting romance for a special night with J.D., and Dr. Kelso recommends Dr. Cox for chief of medicine, which he finally accepts after initially refusing.

The name of the episode comes from Elliot wearing 'Cookie Pants' to cope with an expanding waistline from eating cookies.

Trivia

• This episode was originally scheduled for January 20th.

• In the beginning of the episode when J.D. steps onto the keyboard pad, he plays the show's theme song "Superman". Given the tempo, the tune also comprises bars to the Rangers FC fans anthem "Follow Follow".
• 'Cookie Pants' has been used before - it was the name of the puppet used by hospital pediatrician, Dr. Dave Norris, in season 3 episode 4, "My White Whale".

Music

• Joshua Radin: "I'd Rather Be With You"

Reception

Seth Amitin writes that the episode "wasn't the height of Scrubs comedy, but it was very funny at times....There were a couple of minor things that didn't fly, like why they had to show that flashback to Denise fluffing the pillow for the patient – seemed extraneous, it only happened a few minutes earlier. But the episode was a pretty good traditional Scrubs episode."
