"My Mirror Image" is the 118th episode of the American situation comedy "Scrubs". It originally aired as Episode 1 of Season 6 on November 30, 2006.

Plot

J.D. addresses the news that he's going to be a father; Dr. Cox is troubled about how his anger is going to impact his offspring; Carla and Turk organize for the impending arrival of their new baby; Elliot senses being left out because she's childless; and the Janitor wonders if he has wasted his life.

In this episode there are three separate story arcs that involve J.D. dealing with Kim's pregnancy, Dr. Cox's anger and the Janitor's fear that he is wasting his life. In each arc the character has a patient (in the Janitor's case, simply a new friend) who is portrayed by the actor who plays the respective character, as though they are looking in a mirror. Neil Flynn, John C. McGinley, and Zach Braff each play two roles in this episode: their regular role, and a patient at the hospital. This follows the episode's theme that people often see bits of themselves in other people. The patient played by Braff is named "Ms. Zeebee," a play on his initials (Z.B.). The patient played by McGinley is named "Mr. Slydell," a play on his role in "Office Space", where he played a consultant named Bob Slydell. The patient who resembles the Janitor is named Mr. O'Neil, a play on Neil Flynn's own name. The Janitor pursues J.D. while the Janitor's friend pursued a Juris Doctorate ('his J.D.'). This is where the episode title is derived from. At the end of the episode we see each of the patients' faces turning into the face of the main character as they have a revelation brought on by their experiences in the episode. Also at the end, Turk helps the Janitor pull off a prank in which they make J.D. into a makeshift flag.
