The actor plays the role of Roger, who just happens to be the father of Laurie’s friend Smith.

During the episode, Laurie meets Roger for the first time, Ellie and Grayson go at it over who’s top dog, Jules and Bobby butt heads over letting Travis attend a party where he’ll most likely guzzle lots of booze, and Jules is further disappointed when she plans to spend Valentine’s Day with Grayson and then learns he can’t stand the holiday.

A sneak peek for “When a Kid Goes Bad” called Cole Slaw follows, featuring Jules chatting with her son and ex, and also getting way too happy over junk food.

While Claire and Phil try out a new activity for Valentine’s Day…

… (role playing instead of just dinner out), Jay disappoints his wife Gloria with a mere visit to a comedy show, and Cameron and Mitchell help Manny on the romantic front.

Check out the Escalator preview for “My Funky Valentine” below, which shows why Claire and Phil should never ever role-play in public again. Too funny and sooo very embarrassing!

The romantic holiday somehow still doesn’t go well for Frankie and Mike…

…although all three of their kids are out of sight for once: Axl is on a date, Brick is at a sleepover, and Sue is at a party.

Sneak a peek at “Valentine’s Day” in the Alone preview below, featuring a temporarily excited Frankie and Mike.

The Academy Award-nominated English actress drops by to play Valerie, an old friend of Julie Bowen’s character Claire.

When Valerie pays a visit to Claire’s home, she’s not only very different than how Claire remembers her, but her presence also leaves Claire feeling less than wonderful about herself.

Elsewhere, Gloria gets a little legal help from Mitchell, while Jay has to deal with an odd experience that occurs in the locker room one day when he and Cameron meet up to play some racquetball.

Unfortunately, ABC seems to have forgotten about a sneak peek for “Moon Landing,” so the description will have to do.

Scrubs kicks off ABC’s Tuesday-night comedy hour at 8pm ET with “Our Dear Leaders.”

Former Heist and Blind Justice regular Reno Wilson stops by to play Dr. Russell Vaughn, an internationally well-known surgeon who makes sensitive Turk feel very insecure when he visits Sacred Heart. Meanwhile, Lucy gets a little too into her new role when she’s named team leader for Hell Week.

Next at 8:30pm, Better Off Ted presents “Mess of a Salesman,” which features guest star McClintock as Ted’s brother Billy. Talk about perfect casting.

Ted eventually begins to regret his decision to help his fast-talking brother land a job selling lab equipment when Billy not only manages to sell Veridian Dynamics more equipment than the company needs, but also brings out the worst in Lem and Phil while doing so.

Elsewhere, snarky Veronica provides a rare glimpse of her benevolent side when she receives an award from a charity for girls that Veridian allegedly supports. After she and Linda learn later that Veridian has a habit of not giving most of the donations it receives to the charity, the two become determined to correct that situation.

As the title hints, the action revolves around very loud voices.

Frankie makes a seemingly hopeless pact with her “lively” — to put it mildly — children: If they complete their homework and household chores without her having to force them to do so, she’ll stop constantly nagging and yelling at them. We’ll see about that.

Also, Frankie’s husband Mike teams up with her colleague Bob to deliver snack pastries on the night shift. I sense lots of tension and hilarity ahead for those two.

Sneak a peek at “The Yelling” in the Lesson preview below, which shows what happens when Frankie tries to improve her kids’ naughty behavior by making them watch a very unique video starring her and them. Poor Bob, stuck there on the sofa for the event.

At the center of the installment is a rift between Jules and her gal pal Ellie, all over…

That’s right, you guessed it — a man. The male in question is what they consider a “hot” young tennis instructor.

And while the ladies annoy each other relentlessly as they compete for his attention, Andy and Grayson join together to support Bobby as he tries to get over his ex-wife yet again.

Check out two sneak peeks for “All the Wrong Reasons” below: Lonely (poor Jules somehow gets the idea that she may remain all by her lonesome forever) and Tennis (Jules and Ellie get into it over tennis and that man).

After Jules breaks up with Jeff, she relies on her ex-husband Bobby for comfort.

However, the situation gets complicated when they end up kissing after drinking some wine.

Also, Travis’ plans for his girlfriend Kylie (Spencer Locke, Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide) take an unexpected turn one night and Laurie learns Grayson has something in common with Jules.

Shorty is a friend of Jay, who begins to wonder about his sexuality after Mitchell mentions that he thinks Shorty might be gay and in the closet.

Meanwhile, Claire has issues with her husband Phil’s universal remote and Manny’s date gets a makeover from his mom Gloria.

Sneak a peek at “Fifteen Percent” in the following hilarious preview clip called Technology. Apparently, Claire’s not too bright when it comes to electronic stuff.

Scrubs opens the hour of new comedy with “Our True Lies.”

While Dr. Cox dedicates himself to abusing the entire class for the sins of one lone cheater on an exam, Denise confesses something out of the blue.

Next on Better Off Ted is “Lust in Translation,” which features Ted both lucky and unlucky in love. The first is true because he has a new romantic interest, a German executive named Greta (Stefanie von Pfetten, Eureka), who can’t speak English.

The second is also true because although Veridian Dynamics has a translation gadget in development that could help solve the communication dilemma, it uses Phil’s voice, which puts Ted in a not-so-romantic mood.

Scrubs and Better Off Ted air Tuesdays on ABC.
