Scrubs is almost back, which means it’s time for a refresher on how the characters’ stories ended when the show’s original run concluded.
For fans who were tuning in since 2001, they may recall that Scrubs technically had two finales, one in Season 8 and another in Season 9, but as we gear up for the arrival of the latest episodes, we’re focusing on Season 8’s two-part closer. Originally airing on NBC for seven seasons, the series moved to ABC for Season 8.
