'''"My Mirror Image"''' is the 118th episode of the [[United States|American]] [[situation comedy]] ''[[Scrubs (TV series)|Scrubs]]''. It originally aired as Episode 1 of Season 6 on [[November 30]], [[2006]].

== Episode overview==

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. 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.

==Trivia==
*In this episode Ellliot ([[Sarah Chalke]]) high fives Todd, and says "that's all you get for the rest of the year." She does not high-five him for the rest of the season.
*[[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 in other people bits of themselves. 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 remains unnamed, just like him. The Janitor pursues J.D. while the Janitor's friend pursued a [[Juris Doctor]] ('his J.D.').
*In this episode, after it shows J.D. in Ms. Zeebee's bed, the actor changes, from [[Zach Braff]] to Shara Lerman.
*The line "Thanks a latte" is in reference to a joke made in a previous Scrubs episode, [[My Own Private Practice Guy]], guest starring [[Jay Mohr]].
*This is the first season premiere episode since Season 3 to NOT be directed by Bill Lawrence.
