Grey’s Anatomy

Wow. This was a great episode. The crossover with Private Practice ended with this episode and Addison went on back to LA and to the Oceanside Wellness Group. I miss her at Seattle Grace, though. I still watch Private Practice, but I have to admit I usually struggle to get through the episodes. To me, it has morphed into a freaky medical case of the week, show. But I digress..

The big news of the night (and there was a lot of news) is that Izzie is finally trying to figure out what is wrong with her. The patient that she misdiagnosed with cancer returns to tell her that the blood samples must have been swapped, because she is only anemic which means that Izzie’s blood sample is the one that had high markers that could indicate cancer. So, she finds a spot on her back and has the dermatologist take it off. At the end, the dermatologist tracks Izzie down to give her the results. Of course we won’t find out what is really going on for a few more weeks. Meanwhile, the interns are on the case – except they don’t know that they are trying to diagnose Izzie.

Bailey is really going after the Pediatric Surgery fellowship. The Chief is disappointed because he “groomed” her to follow in his footsteps. But Bailey angrily reminds him that she isn’t his daughter and it is unfair to put those expectations on her. I don’t know how I feel about her in this new field, either. If it means more Arizona screen time, then I’m not too thrilled. I just can’t get on board with her. And she kisses Callie but then promptly turns her down when she asks her out? One word – games. Not a fan.

Derek still hasn’t proposed to Meredith. He’s been way too busy trying to save Jen’s life after he nicked her aneurysm, setting off a series of complications for her and her baby. The final surgery led to a face off between Derek and ex-wife Addison, with the Chief finally having to intervene to make Derek stop working on the already gone Jen. What a sad turn of events with her dying. Of course it just tore Derek to pieces and when Mark finally worked up the courage to tell him he was seeing Lexie, in a fit of rage, Derek attacked Mark and a brawl ensued.

Cristina went toe to toe with an old surgeon played by Faye Dunaway. In typical Cristina fashion, she insulted the doctor and proved that she was actually more qualified to do the surgery than the more experienced doctor. Hunt called her on her insensitivity, but said he wanted to be around in 40 years to pry the scalpel out of her hand.

I’m anxious to see the fall out of Jen’s death and of the fight between Derek and Mark. I’m sad to see Addy go back to LA, though. She’s always fun to have around for some reason.

Thoughts?
