“Haunt You Everyday� Recap
“You all are like a bunch of little children running around with scalpels, with your inappropriate talk and inappropriate sex…�
And that, my friends, hit the nail on the head for this show we love and love to analyze. I finally remembered that this show has always been about a group of young interns (now residents) trying to find their way in their careers and personal lives. And they screw up – A LOT. And those screw ups are what drive us crazy and what make us continue to watch. Those very conflicts that make us want to scream at the television are what keep Grey’s Anatomy interesting.
Callie told everyone that Izzie and George slept together. Of course the news didn’t go over well and Cristina didn’t hesitate to show her disgust. But Izzie asked Cristina why she and Meredith are such a closed little circle. A little circle that allows mistakes and screw ups for themselves but not for anyone else. Very good point. I like the BFFness of Meredith and Cristina, but I’m tired of both of them riding on their high horses as if they’ve done nothing wrong. How funny was Meredith’s line, “Ok, so you’re in love? As in sexy love? Not sibling love?� LOVE IT. And again, I hate to say it, but I’m having a hard time believing George and Izzie as a couple.
And speaking of adultery and all its sordidness. Rebecca showed back up and fell immediately into bed with Alex. They never really got around to that whole talking thing and she was gone when he came back. But I have a feeling we won’t be seeing the last of her.
Meredith had (as always) issues of her own to deal with, mainly the fact that she brought her mother’s ashes to work in a plastic bag. Um, yeah, creepy. But she spent her whole day arranging a pro bono surgery to build a young boy some ears. (Which, by the way, how believable is it that she didn’t see any patients nor did she manage her interns while she was off doing that). And it was the boy that finally gave her an idea of where to put her mother’s ashes. Meredith talked a big game about moving on and putting her mother behind her, so let’s see if she can actually do it this time. (Not holding my breath).
Dr. Hahn is joining Settle Grace. She’ll be a perfect foil to Cristina. Those two will have lots of fun scenes. I loved that Dr. Hahn just outright accused Cristina of sleeping her way to the top. It’s been quite a while since someone has challenged Yang and I like that. And why in the world would Callie want to move in with Cristina? Random. I didn’t get that at all, are they going to be roommates or will Cristina end up over at Meredith’s, too?
Bailey was featured a bit more in this episode. She’s still struggling with being the wife and mother she wants to be and being the surgeon she wants to be. I love any scene between her and George. She’s always the voice of reason and always tells him what he needs to hear.
Elsewhere Norman had a stroke and Mark put the word out that Derek was ready to date. That MerDer carousel ride we’ve been on since season one? Yeah, here we go again.

I love Dr. Hahn. I am so glad she’s joining the show. And my sweet George had me in tears telling the transplant guy that he would have given his dad his heart.

[...] McHalloween by AmyD Hello Grey’s Anatomy fans! Tomorrow is Halloween and inquiring minds want to know –what are you going as for Halloween? I work in a place where dressing up is encouraged, there’s a huge party and a costume contest complete with skits and face painting. (Trust me, in context it is a very cool thing). So we decided to dress up this year in our department. Most folks up here love Grey’s Anatomy and discuss it ad naseum each week. (Many of them read this very blog, but for some reason don’t comment – talking to you Liesa and Justin). So, we thought it would be fun to go as the cast of Grey’s Anatomy for Halloween! Even though the show had its Halloween episode last week. [...]
