Grey’s Anatomy

Let’s discuss. What did you think? I didn’t care for this episode as much as I did last week’s. I think I’m with a good majority of Grey’s Anatomy fans that are sort of over the whole Meredith and Derek drama. Either put them together for good or let it be. All the back and forth ain’t so much fun anymore. But on to other topics…

All of Mark’s whoring around finally caught up with him as the nurses refused to help on any of his surgeries. This whole bit gave the best scene of the night for me – Bailey told the nurses, “He’s a whore, always has been, probably always will be. I don’t want to hear you all talking about ‘oh woe is me, he didn’t call me back and he’s dating other women.’ He’s nasty. But he is a doctor at this hospital and a pretty good one, too, so let us all close our knees and get back to doing our jobs, so he can do his job.” LOVED IT. Probably one of my most favorite Bailey scenes ever.

Speaking of Mark, he’s still sleeping with Callie. Oh Callie. Callie, who is trying to prove that she isn’t a lesbian. Callie ditched Hahn and a painfully awkward scene ensued between the two of them in the scrub room. Then later at the bar Callie finally confessed that Addison had asked if they were a couple. They both laughed, and then? Then they stopped laughing. Hmm…. Get ready for it – that is so happening. I pretty much guarantee it.

Elsewhere, Izzie tried to caution Alex about Rebecca without spilling the truth. (Rebecca isn’t pregnant). Instead, all she did was alienate Alex and tick him off. Sigh. When are they going to give Izzie a break? Is it possible to bring back the Izzie from the early days? The one that we loved? Or is it pointless because Katherine Heigl may leave the show? I know she’s just trying to protect Alex, but it isn’t working.

Cristina had a total meltdown when she learned that Burke had won a major award. An award he couldn’t have won without her. She continues to spiral downward. I wonder what it’s going to take to snap her out of it? Maybe a new love interest? Maybe Hahn? I don’t know people, I’m just guessing here.

So, thoughts?

“I could kick your ass right now. Are you letting him go? Derek Christopher Shepherd? Are you letting him go?” – Addison

Exactly. That’s exactly right. Whether you are a die hard Meredith and Derek fan or not, you have to admit Addison has a point.

This was a really good episode. Maybe it was because of all the fun one liners, or maybe it was because no one was really whiny, or maybe it was because of Addison being back. I think it was the whole combination that made for a very enjoyable episode of Grey’s Anatomy.

As far as plot goes, we didn’t move forward too terribly much so let’s discuss by topic.

1) It took Addison to point out that Callie and Hahn were coming across as more than just friends. Paranoid by this question, Callie asks Cristina and Meredith if people ever assume they are lesbians. Meredith replies with probably my favorite line of the night, “No way. We screw boys like whores on tequila.” HA! Loved it. So to prove that she likes boys, Callie hooked up with Mark at the end of the episode. I’m sure you caught that Hahn didn’t seem pleased.
2) Speaking of Hahn – I don’t like her. She does seem overly harsh with Cristiana, but I don’t know what it is about her – I just don’t like her. I wonder how the whole Callie/Hahn thing will shake out?
3) Meredith and Derek worked on their clinical trial and in the end, their patient died. In the middle of the case, Meredith stopped by her shrink to talk about Derek. I think this is progress.
4) Izzie may have gotten her groove back. I love that she acknowledged that she had only been trying to be Cristina or be something she wasn’t and that she needed to figure out who she is.
5) George was laughing and having fun with the other interns. Good for him. I was sick of sad sack George.
6) Bailey didn’t get much screen time but when she did we finally learned that Tucker did move out. Who is she going to lean on when Addison goes back to LA?
7) Speaking of Addison – can she stay? Please? Pretty please. Don’t send her back to her “messy single life” in LA. Does anyone really need to see her on Private Practice all that much?

Oh yeah - Rebecca showed up, said she was pregnant, but Izzie learned that she isn’t really pregnant. All aboard the crazy train!
