The Halloween episode of Scrubs Season 2 revealed that Dr. Perry Cox now works as a concierge doctor for Rick Fabian, the CEO of a private aviation company, according to comingsoon.net. The episode marked John C. McGinley's return to the role for the first time since the two-episode season premiere.
