My Screw Up" is another serious episode, and one in which you are likely to be totally confused until the end. Jordan's brother Ben - a two year cancer survivor - comes for a visit. On top of being his brother-in-law, Ben is a close friend of Dr. Cox, which is a club with few members. Apparently, an elderly patient that Cox leaves in J.D.'s care unexpectedly goes into cardiac arrest and dies. Inexplicably, Cox rides J.D about this death for the rest of the episode. Then Cox refuses to leave the hospital because "when he's not here people die" - apparently referring to J.D.s patient. Only at the end do we discover the meaning behind Cox's strange behavior. This episode features perhaps McGinley's finest performance on Scrubs, and there are many to choose from. Although J.D. plays a minor role in this episode, the way he asks one key question to Cox at the end - "Where do you think we are?" is worthy of a supporting role award in itself. This episode just won't just break your heart, it rips the still-beating organ from your chest.
