Rooster reached a turning point in the latest episode, “Angry, Like An Angry Person,” as Greg (Steve Carell) finally found his footing at Ludlow College, after being forced to join the staff to save his daughter Katie’s (Charly Clive) job after she accidentally burned her estranged husband Archie’s (Phil Dunster) house down. And helping bring it all to life is director Zach Braff. Fair warning that there are spoilers for Rooster Season 1 Episode 4 ahead!

Braff may currently be starring in ABC‘s hit Scrubs revival, but he wasn’t too busy to step behind the camera for the pivotal installment of this HBO comedy on behalf of longtime collaborator and Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence, who co-created Rooster with Matt Tarses. The episode also reunited Braff with Scrubs costar John C. McGinley and introduced him to the network series’ newest recruit, David Gridley, who plays a bartender in this episode that tracks Greg Russo’s attempt at finding his place among Ludlow’s community, in the same way that his daughter Katie is also trying to figure her situation out amid her husband’s infidelity that led to an unplanned pregnancy.
