“Desire” Recap
Great episode. Seriously great. I laughed, teared up and gasped!
Derek? WTF? He is pushing Meredith away because the chief said he can’t have it all - a relationship and the job. But again, so Burke can have it all? I guess it all boils down to Richard looking out for Meredith. And I’m sure it is true that Derek wants Meredith to “breathe” on her own, but it seems to me that he’s using the drowning drama as a cover up for what’s he’s really mad about - Meredith potentially keeping him from getting the job he wants. And then she just gets up and leaves? Here’s a crazy thought, kids, TALK ABOUT IT.
But I think the whole chief thing is a moot point anyway (or a “moo point, you know, a cow’s opinion” for you Friends fans) because go ahead and grab a Snickers, Richard’s not going anywhere for a while. The chairman of the board lit a fire under him last night, so I think he’s staying.
So Jane Doe bounces on back and lets Alex know that Addison is into him. LOVED the exchange between Addison and Callie - “he’s about 12″ HA! Addison wants the guy that will barbecue and teach the kids baseball, but Callie tells her that guy will be Alex after his twenties. After Jane Doe crashes and they deliver the baby, Addison goes for it. It was about time.
Did anyone feel the slightest bit sorry for McSteamy when he caught them coming out of the call room together? I didn’t. Like he told Addison later, “Once a manwhore, always a manwhore.” Seriously - do something with his character or boot him. He’s taking up space.
And just when we think Alex has changed, damn it, he hasn’t. That was a brutal brush off he gave Addison at the end of the day. She definitely deserves better. And who will blame her for going to LA to get in the middle of a Tim Daly/Taye Diggs manwich?
Goorge and Izzie are back to the dream team/normal pals thing. But Callie knows something is up. She doesn’t know the whole truth yet, but she’s about 2 seconds from figuring it out. And of course Addison gave her a huge hint. Callie finally confronted Izzie and told her to back off because she wanted her husband back. A tearful Izzie consoled herself with cake and she even confessed to Burke what she had done. George decides to transfer to Mercy West to get away from Izzie. But, um, hello? Won’t that be a big huge red flag that something actually is going on to Callie? Or scratch that, it would be a giant, neon flashing BILLBOARD that something actually happened. And no, I don’t think he’ll go.
Will the Burktina wedding really happen? Poor Burke is relying on Christina’s friends to help with the details. Will she really do it or not?
Could we get more Bailey, please. I’m tired of her being a secondary character. She is one of the most complex characters on the show and I hope next year she gets more screen time.
So they set up the spin off very well last night. I’m anxious to see it. Looks like Meredith’s big slap is coming next week, too.
Talk to me, I know you have opinions…

Ack. Didn’t watch it last night. Heck, for that matter I haven’t watched the 4/19 episode yet!
But I agree with your McSteamy assessment. Get him moving on. Never been a fan. Not a fan of that type of personality in real life, and definitely hate to see it shoved in my face every week (or every three weeks based on how soon I can get my episodes viewed!)

I can’t get past the fact that they actually briefly showed the dude’s penis! And, yes, I backed it up just to make sure. You can’t do that on television! (Shout out to Nickelodeon!)
.
I feel sorry for Burke. Yes, I said it. He really wants this marriage, and Cristina just doesn’t care.
.
I felt sorry for Addison, too. Alex was just a little too cold. That wasn’t necessary.
.
And Meredith was really getting on my nerves last night!

Okay, so the dude had a fish in his penis and they showed it on national television! Who makes this shit up?? I have to admit thats funny! All I can say is its about time Addison and Alex hooked up! Seriously:) But Burk is really starting to get on my nerves! I mean its just a cake!! And she is trying to study! Give her a break! Anyway, I did feel a little bit bad for McSteamy…I have to admit. I mean the guy really seemed to be trying. But I am super pumped about 2 whole hours next week!! I can’t wait til THURSDAY!!!

Like Holli, I couldn’t believe they showed the guy’s penis! I was initially “Nah, couldn’t be…” but I went and watched it online later, and sure enough! Craaaazy.
And poor Addy. Though I’m liking the spin-off idea even better now that I saw those previews!

so really, Meredith and Derik? come on! Yes Talk it out! the whole I will just go, is sooooooooo high school. I love George and he better not leave! Kalli should just buck up and talk to her man, what is with these woman that always need to take it out on the other woman.
Poor Addy? LOL, all girls love that nice bad boy, but Alex is an ASS….but is he?
The penis? yes with was there, my husband even noticed, you wonder if that was intentional.
And Christina? she is just a bitch.
