+FrozenVolcano-Right. While Cox wouldn't admit it, he was really hurt that JD fell for Petey's superficial charm the way several others have, and that JD was becoming fast friends with someone that Cox really trusted, opened up to, and considered a good friend. . .only for Petey to turn around and use him as a way to score a lonely, frustrated wife (Jordan). That after everything JD and Cox had been through together at this point, that Cox was really trying to open up to JD and confide in him. . .JD would run off to a scumbag like Petey for a friend. Given that Petey is a massive scumbag, I wouldn't put it past him to realize that JD and Cox were pretty close, and that he was deliberately using JD in order to get under Cox's skin. Petey wasn't just content and unapologetic about the fact he helped destroy Cox and Jordan's marriage but he was willing to also destroy another relationship with someone Cox was clearly close to while he was at it. Because Petey never fessed up to JD exactly why Cox was mad at him. Petey knew full well why but he was willing to string JD along, play up that he was a former protege of Cox's and as the two proteges, they have a connection no one else has. That Petey understood JD and respected JD in a way Cox never could. When Petey probably didn't care one speck about JD. Because when JD decided to side with Cox and break off any connection with Petey, knowing the scumbag Petey is, Petey didn't hesitate to let JD know that Petey didn't even care about him.
I know acting and that reaction was not an act, he did not know what he JD was talking about. wait a minute, this is a tv show, its all scripted so he was acting like he was not acting about not knowing...now am confusing myself.
It was different with Petey. Petey knew full well who Jordan was, and used information about the fact that they were having problems in their marriage (which he only knew cos Cox had confided in him) to get her into bed. JD had no idea who Jordan was and never would’ve slept with her if he knew.
It's kinda cool to see how later in the series, JD doesn't even need this advice anymore. He's dealt with Cox's crap enough so that he can handle it his own way with smartass remarks. That is, when he doesn't tear up about it.
JD got it wrong--instead of "What were you saying?" which implies he was listening but not paying attention, he went with the slightly more aggressive "I'm sorry, did you say something?". The second one indicates that whatever Cox was saying was just so damn unimportant, JD wasn't sure he heard anyone talking at all. At least it paid off.
OMG that's why I remember him. I saw the other guy on Christmas Do Over i rented from library and couldn't figure out why he looked familiar. Oh and if you never seen it watch that movie its hilarious.
finalfantasylord1 yes, only you, in the whole world, that is why RU-vid is full of clips of the show, because there is no one else that wants this show back, go get them you special and unique person.
She is, but Dr. Cox talks about that at the end of the episode. He says he never blamed her because he feels he did everything he could to make her feel unimportant and unloved. Obviously that's no excuse for cheating on your husband, but it explains why Dr. Cox feels how he does. Healthy or not.
I wish someone knew how to get to my sister in a similar way so I could defeat her. But she doesn't call me girls names as I am a girl but I hate my name so..
Is this a Joke? As a rezident dr cox seems like the dream attending. He takes care of jd and helps him and gives him medical advice. Jd acts like an idiot. He never understood what its like not to have a dr help him. In real life very few people would help you.
I think this whole episode was a whiff. Just randomly writing in a huge part of Dr. Cox's history that never came up again with a guy who never showed up again. If they had followed it up later, if Petey had more charisma than a wet sock, if it had lasting bearing on anyone's characters... any of those would have made this episode's conceit better. As it is, it seems more like weird fanfic in my mind than an actual episode wherein the characters have valuable experiences and/or grow.
