I’m glad Season Six wasn’t Scrubs’ last, for it ended on an ambiguous note with both J.D. and Elliot that failed to properly display their growth. So, the mission of Seven — with 18 episodes ordered last minute, only 11 of which got produced before the Writers’ Strike — was to bring all the characters now, but mainly J.D. and Elliot, closure… Unfortunately, strike or no strike, Seven lets itself down with its own bad decisions. For instance, there were only two ways to resolve the cliffhanger with J.D. and Elliot; either they realize they love each other after all and this final season is about them navigating a real, long-term relationship while raising his kid, or they decide that their impulse to turn back to each other is not about love but merely their shared fear of commitment, the recognition of which allows them to finally move on with their respective partners, as this final season shows them adjusting to their new families.
