Season chronology

The second season of the American comedy television series Scrubs premiered on NBC on September 26, 2002, and concluded on April 17, 2003, and consists of 22 episodes. For the second season Neil Flynn was promoted to main cast billing. Colin Hay guest starred for the first time. It is also the first time an episode gives the narration to another regular, in "His Story".

The show used a longer opening credits sequence for the first two episodes, moving through the ward rather than just two beds, including a shot of Flynn as The Janitor, showing the names of the series regulars and ending with the chest X-ray showing the heart on the left side of the chest. However, the credits reverted to the original version in the third episode.

The second season focuses on J.D.'s (Zach Braff) second year practicing medicine at Sacred Heart, where he is now a resident. In the season opener, everyone is still in shock from the secrets Jordan Sullivan (Christa Miller) revealed about J.D., Turk, (Donald Faison), Carla (Judy Reyes), Elliot (Sarah Chalke), Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley), and Dr. Kelso (Ken Jenkins). As the season develops, J.D.'s older brother Dan (Tom Cavanagh) comes to visit, money issues affect J.D., Elliot, and Turk, Turk proposes to Carla, and Elliot finds a new boyfriend, a nurse named Paul Flowers (Rick Schroder). Dr. Cox resumes a sexual relationship with his ex-wife Jordan, with quite unexpected results.
