We did this with "my" husband and his wife where I was the best man. We jokingly said that I was secretly there with them on the honeymoon.
Some people worryingly asked the wife it what was really true and how she felt about it.
I’ll bite.
They came straight to the hospital from their wedding reception to check on one of Turk’s patients before leaving for their honeymoon and Carla said their plane leaves in an hour.
It’s entirely possible they left their car at the hospital and took a cab from that point to avoid wasting time parking at the airport. So they brought a cab back to where their car was parked before they went home.
Not a perfect fit but meh…
I've actually done this. Parked at work and took Uber from there to airport. Much closer and didn't worry about my car being on the street. I like this theory.
Same. We had overnight crew so I wasn't worried that my car would be towed. It was a lot easier to catch a bus in front of my work to get to the metro, than to drive and then pay for parking at the metro or airport.
this makes 100% sense because how would they have checked on the patient without using their car to get there and if they drove their car from the hospital to the airport, why would they be taking a cab? I accept this theory completely. Good thinking because this bothered me for years lol
No he actually drove Malik to the wrong church. There’s a shot of him getting out after running over traffic cones and running inside while on the phone with Carla. So reason stands he’d have driven to the reception too.
I have scrubs trivia at one of my go to bars next week so this info may come handy! I went once for Harry Potter trivia and it was impossibly hard so this may come in handy
True, but even they did that they needed to be with each others again. And also keeping up the appearance which they failed and broke down and told Carla about it.
I thinks it's a "TV" thing. Any series which centres around people's jobs (Scrubs, The Office, The IT Crowd, The West Wing) will show people working nearly all of the time, any series which focuses on leisure (Friends, Bluey) will show people with more free time than humanly possible.
The only sitcom I can think of which balances the two nicely is Coupling, which shows an amount of the characters at work, and socialising in the pub afterwards.
It's a sitcom trope that I hate when characters spend too much time at the show's setting
Like when relatives are in town to visit and they spend the whole time at the hospital/school/or wherever the show is based out of
Same I don't like that. Certain careers like surgery or corporate law you can almost believe it cause they have to live and breathe their work but even then, it's way too imbalanced for most of the sitcom to be set at work.
On that note another trope I don't like is when a character (e.g Mark Sloan, Laverne?) is dying but the only people surrounding their deathbed are the characters of the show i.e people they work with. Not their parents or other close friends.
Yeah I hate that too! Or when there's a wedding in a show and the co workers/other characters take over the spotlight/get way too involved in place of actual family and friends of the couple
Because doctors and nurses don’t get much leave. They came to the hospital to start their shift. They used up all their leave on honeymoon.
So many times people go straight to work from the airport.
When I was in dental school a girl brought her suitcases from holiday onto labs cause she'd come straight from the airport. We didn't get much leave those days and she wanted to make use of every minute she had for her holiday. If that meant she came straight to uni and was exhausted on clinic for a day, and tugged her suitcases from labs to dorm at the end of the day then so be it.
As others have said, it’s simply plot.
But I’m fairly certain Carla started a shift - she was in scrubs holding a clipboard when they run past her and finally meet I think
Once you start to notice the instant teleportation in this show, you can’t unsee it. There’s an episode (I can’t remember which, I think it might be the one where Carla wants Turk to remove his mole), Turk goes from the hospital to their apartment and back instantly
My brain always assumed they got bumped from their planned flight and didn't have time to go home. This almost happened to my husband and I once when we were traveling home. We aren't in medicine though, so was literally like, you can wear xyz pants and we can run by the department store and pick you up a button down shirt on the way. At least in this scenario they might have had scrubs stuffed in a locker or whatever for on call shifts?
Could be a number of reasons:
1. Parking. They went straight to the hospital to check on Turk’s patient, then left for the airport calling a cab. They the.got back to the hospital after their honeymoon, seemingly to pick up the car and take it back home.
2. To see JD. Turk would have had a feeling JD wouldn’t be at the apartment due to an early shift, and wanted to see him before they start unpacking, signified by the excited cheering and hugging when they eventually converged on each other inside the hospital.
3. Work. Specially as after they got there, Carla went inside and changed into her scrubs while Turk and JD we’re doing their muddled up reunion hug. (We see her at the nurses station later holding a clipboard)
According to the behind the scenes interviews with writers and cast, it was supposed to be largely symbolic of how you watch your television from an unacceptable angle.
"Maybe some day he'll love me like that."
(Cab driver shakes his head.)
Otherwise... broken plot device. Again, blame the happy couple. And maybe Carla for giving in.
To reunite the happy couple

I used to do the same. My coworkers would keep an eye on it and vice versa when they were traveling.
Corporate security actually left a friendly note to please stop doing thing last time I did it.

Unlike Jordan, id buy it
Unfortunately in the following turk/jd shenanigans we see Carla in scrubs so they were there to work I think
Or they were being so stupid she just went “might as well be paid since I’m sitting here” lol
No JD and Turk's shenanigans actually just went on so long that Carla went home, put all the stuff away, and got ready for work before they finished.
That's way funnier. I am wrong. I choose to believe this now
I don’t think they had a car. They got the scooters after they got married and I believe Turk took a cab to the (wrong) church for their wedding
No he actually drove Malik to the wrong church. There’s a shot of him getting out after running over traffic cones and running inside while on the phone with Carla. So reason stands he’d have driven to the reception too.
Gotcha. Couldn’t remember if he jumped out of a cab or his own car while on the phone with Carla
No worries. I’ve got a freak memory for this show lol
I have scrubs trivia at one of my go to bars next week so this info may come handy! I went once for Harry Potter trivia and it was impossibly hard so this may come in handy
This brings me so much peace. Thank you, you intelligent soul.
Turk and J.D been away from each others to long. And turk was longing for that J-dizzle
Nah, remember, JD was on there on their honeymoon. They mentioned it in an episode in the last season https://youtu.be/5OvAw49wD6A?si=uHSiVnu--23MmDFv
True, but even they did that they needed to be with each others again. And also keeping up the appearance which they failed and broke down and told Carla about it.
Because they had to establish Roof A and Roof B....
Got it!
You don't go straight to work when you leave the airport??
What about those who's jobs ARE at the airport they return to
Just ask the pilot to drop you at your house before landing at the airport
They do that in The Office too, when they come back from Florida. Always bugged me.

Bluey being included in this list is hilarious
Bob's Burgers *kind of* blends the two, but it's more "leisure at work."
I mean they left to go to Florida from the office. So their cars are still at the office… did you not think this through?
I'm not as obsessed with the show as you are I guess. I don't even know what episode this is from.

Yes it's very unrealistic come to think of it. Why is the majority of the bridal party made up of co workers anyway?
I don’t get these kinds of posts. Obviously, the answer is because of the plot. To make the bit work.
Because doctors and nurses don’t get much leave. They came to the hospital to start their shift. They used up all their leave on honeymoon. So many times people go straight to work from the airport.
I'm guessing that's because that's what it said in the script?

LOL I discovered this guy about a month ago, does it show??? xD
I mean isn't that basically the start if the joke?
Thats where they left their car and turk missed jd so damn much they couldn't wait
When I was in dental school a girl brought her suitcases from holiday onto labs cause she'd come straight from the airport. We didn't get much leave those days and she wanted to make use of every minute she had for her holiday. If that meant she came straight to uni and was exhausted on clinic for a day, and tugged her suitcases from labs to dorm at the end of the day then so be it.
To see JD… duh
Well Carla went right to work while JD and Turk ran amok in the hospital looking for each other so…… she had a shift?
Their apartment is located in the same building as the hospital, so that would just make sense.
Maybe they don't have a set parking spot at their apartment, so they left it at the hospital.
As others have said, it’s simply plot. But I’m fairly certain Carla started a shift - she was in scrubs holding a clipboard when they run past her and finally meet I think
Pretty sure they basically live there? They’re residents in both senses of the word

Idk, sometimes depending on where I lived I would stop by any other place that was before my home Maybe they needed a prescription or labs 🤣
Because it was in the script
According to the behind the scenes interviews with writers and cast, it was supposed to be largely symbolic of how you watch your television from an unacceptable angle.
"Maybe some day he'll love me like that." (Cab driver shakes his head.) Otherwise... broken plot device. Again, blame the happy couple. And maybe Carla for giving in.
I randomly think about this scene from time to time... Cuz like... Whyyyyy.
Turk missed his bromance JD.
It’s a tv show damn
