Finding Our Role Models Among the Ones Available Even Reluctantly

In this episode, we find that Dr. Cox sets his sights too high and loses trust in Drew, who was previously his #1. JD steps in to guide his mentor in this situation. Lucy also decides that she desires a new mentor. She asks Denise who is reluctant to perform the duty. The pair then work together on a case involving a very ill woman and her young son.

Our Role Models follows the tradition of other Scrubs episodes including entertaining subplots with other diversity thrown in the mix.

Drew and Lucy are brought to our focus as we are being introduced to their characters among the other new Med students. Drew proves himself to be a likeable character and a good med student right away but Dr. Cox’s expectations run high and he becomes easily disappointed. Turk prods JD to step in and rescue the situation. Lucy comes to believe that JD would not make a good mentor for her since she concludes that Dr. Cox hates her. She looks to Denise to mentor her and after prodding Denise, she agrees to be her mentor albeit reluctantly.

Cole seems to spend all of his time in Lucy’s bed, accomplishing nothing but wasted space in the episode. His character proves even more strangely by providing random threats. The other new med students remain in the background while Dr. Cox throws some insults their way.

Our Role Models proves itself to be an entertaining episode with enjoyable storylines unfolding. It could prove to be a good year for the show as we are still wondering if it is the last or perhaps a whole new start. Thanks for reading!
