[edit] Plot

When Dan, J.D.'s brother, arrives bearing cake, J.D. immediately knows someone has died - his father. This episode is primarily concerned with the ways in which J.D.'s family and friends help him deal with his loss. This episode was dedicated to the late John Ritter, who actually played J.D. and Dan's father.

[edit] Quotes

  • Dr. Cox: Let's break down the kid's support system, shall we? He's got me, an emotionally crippled narcissist, and he's got you, an emotionally crippled narcissist who's soaking in a tub of what by now has to be mostly your own urine
    Dan: I believe the ratio's shifted that way, yes.
  • Dr. Cox: Dan?
    Dan: It's Captain Bubble Beard.
