Couples Countdown Nr.17

Jordan & Dr.Cox
(Scrubs)



Current status: Divorced, but a couple, two children
The Beginning: JD sleeps with the new boardmember Jordan and discovers that she's Cox's ex-wife. Cox and Jordan have been married before the show but they couldn't get along. After meeting for some time just to sleep with each other, they get together again.
Course of the Relationship: Jordan's pregnancy softens Cox and when he finds out that Jordan's son Jack is actually his, the couple seems to grow even closer. One day, they get to know that they're actually married but they decide to get divorced, because it makes them happier than being married. They usually fight a lot but they have their moments. When Jack is older, they want to give their "baby-stuff" away, but a few days later they find out that Jordan's pregnant again. They decide to keep the baby but they have more problems when it turns out that the little girl has to undergo surgery in the womb. Eventually she gets born healthy and named Jennifer Dylan (J.D.).
The End & Future: In season 8 and the finale, they grow even closer.


When I fell in love with them: Season 2, episode 8 "My Fruit Cups": After they have had casual sex for a while, Jordan returns pregnant from a trip and tells Cox that some bellboy got her pregnant. Cox choses her and his sentence "Hey Lady. I'm proud of what you're doing here" made me ship this couple for the whole show.
Why I like them: Their differences. They seem to argue all the time, they have wonderful battles. She is an evil witch, he's an arrogant, cocky doctor. But they complete each other perfectly, seem to be good parents and their few romantic moments are wonderful.
Best Moment: I don't have one specific moment, just those few moments when they behave like a loving couple and not fighting for a change.
Saddest Moment: Season 2, Episode 2 "My Nightingale" Cox found out thathe is the father of baby Jack. He breaks up with Jordan but she keeps running after him until he eventually forgives her. I hated to see this cuple almost split up.


Why Nr.17? Married, divorced, in love, two children, but they refuse to get married: A very special couple who seem to argue more than they love each other.
Miscellaneous: It's not the usual couple, but there is a lot of chemistry. If Scrubs was a drama show, I'd love this couple even more. But because it's a comedy show and an ensemble show, they don't get enough screen-time.
