SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for Season 1, Episode 8 of the “Scrubs” revival, “My Odds,” which aired Wednesday on ABC (and posts Thursday on Hulu).
Physician, heal thyself. Dr. Perry Cox (played by John C. McGinley) hasn’t been seen on the 2026 “Scrubs” revival since the series (Season 10? Season 9?) premiere in February, when he shocked the hospital and viewers by retiring and tapping J.D. (Zach Braff) to replace him as chief of medicine. So when he returned for Episode 8, “My Odds,” viewers knew something was up.
