Quotes:

John Dorian: It's never good to live in the past too long. As for the future, thanks to Dan, it didn't seem so scary anymore. It could be whatever I want it to be... Who's to say this isn't what happens? And who's to say my fantasies won't come true just this once?

Soundtrack:

The Book of Love

A perfect ending.

JD prepares to leave Sacred Heart, but is disappointed when it seems nobody cares.

This final episode of Scrubs (as we know it) is a perfect sendoff to this fantastic show. Most of the guest stars over the past 8 years appear in one touching scene, as JD reminisces on who he met, love, and lost over his 8 years at Sacred Heart. We also see how Dr. Cox truly feels about JD, Carla's goodbye and how JD thought of her as a teacher, Kelso's departure, and we finally hear the Janitor's real name (or do we?).

We also see (as one of JD fantasies of course) what the future MAY hold for his friends and those closest to him, although it's not set in stone. But as JD's final thought says, "Who can tell me that my fantasies won't come true, just this once?"

An astounding season finale, possibly one of the best. BIG thanks and kudos go to Bill Lawrence, the cast and crew, the guest stars, and everyone who made this show what it is. Season 9 has been confirmed, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the last 8, but I hope it will be.
