Notes

Music

• How to Save a Life by The Fray: The song that plays over the montage of the three patients dying after their rejected transplants infected them with rabies, plus Dr. Cox's breakdown is "How to Save a Life" by The Fray, a platinum selling single from the album of the same name. The song was a breakthrough hit for the American audiences and is popularly used on medical shows like Scrubs and, earlier in the season, Grey's Anatomy.

Arc Advancement

Characters

• Jill Tracy: Frequent repeat patient Jill Tracey dies in this episode due to complications involving rabies. It was originally thought that she died as a result of a cocaine overdose but that proved to be inaccurate after an autopsy was performed.
• Dr. Cox: Dr. Cox suffers something of an emotional breakdown after the three patients who were given new organs died when those organs were found to be from a patient who died from rabies. J.D. attempted to bring him back from the brink, but before they could talk a patient coded and required resuscitation, which failed. Cox left the hospital before his shift ended out of frustration.

Quotes

• Carla: Hey JD, if you go out, would you get me a hot Italian sausage?

JD: I think I may vomit.

• Elliot: Hey, what'd ya do last night?

Carla: Turk made me watch Anaconda with him.

Elliot: Ooh, is that the one with the giant snake?

The Todd pops up from behind a desk.

Todd: No, this is the one with the giant snake. Points at himself I was back here for 45 minutes waiting for a setup. My back is killing me, but I nailed it. It's about commitment.

• Todd (to Turk): Buddy, we should totally have sex some time.

Turk: See, I knew this was going to come back to me.

• Random Doctor: Hey Todd, you were impressive in surgery today.

Todd: You were impressive in the shower today, dongwise.

• Janitor (to Todd):' What the hell are you?

Todd: I'm The Todd.
