“Love/Addiction”
First of all I want to say how interesting it is to me that last night’s Ugly Betty’s title was “Family/Affair” and Grey’s title was “Love/Addiction.” Very clever double meaning for both and I like it. Just a little something for you Betty fans since I know a lot of you also love that show. Now, let’s get right to it.
Meredith, Meredith, Meredith. What a mess this girl is. I’m with those of you that are sort of hating her right now. She has the perfect man (her words) and she KNOWS why she treats him the way she does, but she continues to behave that way. And could she be anymore bitchy to her sister Lexie? The poor girl just wants to have a conversation with her half sister. And I know, I know, Meredith is all “dark and twisty” and complex and whatever, but honestly, it is getting a little old. I love, love, love that Mama returned and put her in her place about her behavior at the wedding – nice.
But Mama was really there to see Cristina. What an interesting dynamic that was. I felt like Mama should have been sitting behind a little paper desk marked “Psychiatric Help 5 Cents.” Anyway, she told Cristina she felt sorry for her that she lost the love of her life but more so she felt sorry for her that she lost a great teacher. Mama told Cristina she was a strong woman and that she’d be ok.
Mama also had a chance to talk to “Burke’s guy” George. Did anyone else wonder about that little speech he made to Mama about Burke? About how maybe Burke dodged a bullet and how he didn’t do anything wrong, etc.? The whole time I kept thinking, wow is he talking about Burke or is he talking about Isaiah Washington? Hmmm….. Anyway, he got his 5 cents of clarity from Mama and determined to tell Callie about his affair with Izzie.
And Izzie. The girl is just a walking, talking piece of guilt. She loves George and is ecstatic he loves her. But she can’t deal with him breaking up with Callie. She spends the whole day fumbling around and finally tells Callie she thinks she is doing a great job. And the light finally went off in Callie’s head about the affair. Fireworks should be forthcoming. Does anyone here like Callie? I just don’t care for her at all and I really am not even sure why.
Speaking of those I don’t care for and don’t know why – Mark. He’s still around and I guess he’s going to go back to being Derek’s pal. (I will admit that was very cute last week when he told Derek he came back for him). And he’s trying to help Derek break the Meredith cycle, but Derek isn’t ready to beat that addiction just yet.
Bailey is awesome. She’s still struggling with not being in charge but I love that she still finds ways to work around that. And that scene with Alex? Fantastic. Chandra Wilson is a great actress. I like Alex y’all, but can he just shave? Seriously.
Talk to me. What did you think?

Last week, I was like “eeeeeehhhhh.” I mean, compared to a few seasons ago when the season premier was the BOMB episode…just seemed like a bit of a let-down.
But this week, I got back into the Grey’s groove, and thought that the episode was really well-done. I still think that the writers try too hard at times. I mean, wasn’t Georgie JUST madly in love with Callie? Wasn’t Izzie just MADLY in love with Denny? Although it was a few seasons for us, up until now that was ONE YEAR - their intern year.
And, of course, if Callie wanted interns to work the clinic, why didn’t Bailey send George down there. That would have made much more sense.
