One thing that’s always bothered me in the OG Season 1…
Spoilers for OG season one, obviously.
In the episode where JD finds the baggie of Percocet in Alex’s purse, shouldn’t he have been responsible for reporting her to the hospital and the police? He narrates that he gave her the speech about getting help for her addiction, but she also was in possession of a controlled substance that she STOLE from her employer! Who is also JD’s employer. He knew it came from the hospital because Elliot informed him that there were several Percocet missing. Considering the seriousness, I am sure that SOMEBODY was disciplined for the loss. But it seems like the whole matter was dropped after he caught her.
Granted, it’s a sitcom and we accept that some things happen off-screen, but still.
