Scrubs how does ben die

As Dr. Cox becomes enraged and starts blaming J. Cox he had too many people to care for—but it means nothing to the distraught and guilt-stricken Dr. Cox works for days on end, sleeping sitting up in the waiting room, and not speaking to J. Finally, Ben is able to convince Dr. Cox to apologize to J. Although deep down he already knew this, the reassurance means everything to J.

And with that, it seems like Dr. As the episode wraps up, Ben and Dr. Cox are walking through a park when Ben reminds him one final time to let go of the guilt and forgive himself for what happened this week.

When Dr. Charismatic and endearing, his death is the catalyst for so much growth in Dr. Cox, J. The scene with him washing his hands is so heart felt because I can feel him emotions behind those true words he says to JD. But this seasons best episode so far isnt this one. I know everyone will disagree with me. I guess it's because I expected this one to play out like it did, but the Roof top toilet was imo the best episode! Between Ted wanting to jump off the roof and the birds to the epiphanys on the bowl, it was just superb.

This episode reminded me of one thing most importantly aside from the message, Brendan Frasier is such a great actor! I'm glad hes making a come back back here in year , with Trust and Condor, two series hes featured in. He has the acting chops and always has since Encino man and Blast from the Past! I feel like someone misguided his career because he should have been nominated in movies and accepting great quality scripts, so its nice to see that hes made the modern day transition to TV.

I wish him the best. Also, I can see how underrated scrubs is when people talk about comedies. This show inspired community, Brooklyn 99 and many others. Between the JD and Turk bromance and super friendship that was featured in community of diversity too and the mind clouds of scenes flashbacks in Brooklyn When you watch all the best comedy you notice how each one has touched another in some way. But Dr. Cox, man is he the man people will root for because of who he is when hes by himself and can barely stand it.

The character development has fleshed out since season 1. Second favorite character: yes, the janitor! He is incredi le and the best acted man. Perfectly casted. This show is such a major player, no wonder people all talked about how this show got them throug so many things in life. After working a long days I talk solace in coming home to putting on Scrubs and hanging out with this flawless xast. Perfect episode. Just watched it for the 2nd time. It is amazing about how many hints it gives that Ben is passed.

Great acting by literally everyone. So many shows have episodes that sort of rely on the twist - for example every single sitcom where someone proposes. You remember it the first time as funny, but upon re watches, your favorite characters are simply idiots until the proposal actually happens. In this episode in Scrubs, the entire episode is good, full of good emotion and light hearted comedy.

And it doesnt RELY on the twist to make it good. Assuming you're already a huge fan of Scrubs, you all know how off-the wall hilarious the show can be. The casting is pitch-perfect, the comedy never fails, and the actors all look like they're having a ball.

What most people probably haven't known until this episode is how versatile this show really is, and how surprisingly well it handles the drama here. Without giving away the end, the episode starts off with the grand return of Ben played by the increasingly versatile Brendan Fraser , Dr. Cox's best friend and Jordan's brother after a two- year absence.

What starts off as another smart comedy slowly turns into an examination of guilt and letting go, and the show handles that with maturity, something that's always been there even behind the Todd character, but this episode really exposes it in the flesh. It also honors the situation at hand, always keeping just the right dramatic tone and never breaking it with a cheesy, nervous joke.

Even on most likable sitcoms such as "Friends", the writers will really be onto something with the drama, and then break it with comedy. Not here. One of the key episodes to Scrubs and one of the finest half hours on television. By the way, the song played at the final scene is "Winter" by Joshua Radin. Who would have thought it would end like it did when the episode first starts? This episode has everything a MOVIE should have: comedy, intrigue, an excellent story and 'twist', romance and something else you should find on your own not wanting to spoil.

If you like scrubs or have some idea of how the characters are with each other, damn even if you don't like it, you should give this episode a try. Scrubs has that little something many comedic series can't achieve: when it's meant to be serious, it is and with excellency.

This episode, more than others will make you see a side of Cox you never thought you'd see and probably won't see again. It's THAT good.

This is not only the best episode of scrubs, but one of the best episodes of TV I've ever seen. The comeback of Ben is great, but also the best ending of scrubs with the reveal that Cox was imagining Ben the whole time and they were really at Ben's funeral.

Then u watch it over and over to look for the hints -- BRILLIANT writing yeah i am envious don't care about acting or directing coming up with this kind of material woulda loved to be a fly on the wall during first staff reads of this script. This had to be a profound moment for all in the room not just "phoning things in" to get thru another week.

The two things that mark out Scrubs from all the other millions of comedies out on TV at the moment are the following: 1. It's obscure randomness and surreal humour that recalls The Simpons when it was back in it's prime, and 2 it's ability to change the mood from humour to pure emotion and sadness in an instant. This episode is one of the best examples of both such things. Skip the next paragraph if you don't want to know what happens He's in usual charismatic and lovable form as a larger than life amateur photographer, and it seems he has come back to attend Jack's first birthday.

Although the leukaemia that blighted him two seasons before is still a problem. From then on, it seems as if it's another laugh-fest, and much of the episode's quality is clear to see. We are made to believe that he is talking about an older man with an irregular heartbeat who he was worried about earlier, and therefore things don't seem too serious.

But there are hints throughout as to the identity of the patient who has died, and the signs are not good. Cox forgives JD, something which means a lot to him. Out walking, with Cox dressed smartly, but Ben not, Cox finally agrees to let go, something Ben has been telling him to do throughout the episode. It the transpires, when JD shows up, that they are in a cemetery. There is a funeral. It's Ben's. It turns out that the patient who died was in fact Ben, and Cox had failed to cope with it.

As the ceremony begins, Cox bursts into tears. END SPOILERS The way the writers hint at the Truth the whole way through is brilliantly done, and it really shows the emotional depth that the shows makers have that they are able to insert such a premise into a comedy show without it looking out of place. By making the said character such a popular one too, it insures that the audience is just as hard hit as the characters, and the acting, particularly from John C. McGinley at the end is phenomenal.

Truly great writing. Not every day you find an extraordinary moment in your life. Even when Perry hated Jordan, he was still close to Ben and was extremely distraught when Ben passed away.
