Everything is broken
Wow. What an episode! I’m not going to do a full on recap, but I just want to hit the highlights so we can discuss.
1) Christina couldn’t take the pressure of the cover up and confronted Burke about it. He is right – she pushed him into doing it. The Chief is going to retire and wants to recommend Burke for Chief of Surgery. Burke can’t take it in good conscience, but before he tells the Chief, Christina beats him to it. Can they ever save their relationship now? Will Derek get the Chief job instead?
2) Burke blames Derek for his hand tremors after Derek told him he would have helped him had he known. Their tenative and new friendship seems over.
3) George calls in another surgeon for his dad but Izzie, not knowing Burke’s problem, tells his parents Burke is the best. When they reschedule again, George freaks and tells his parents that the last time Izzie had direct patient care, someone died. She was devastated. I know George is concerned about this dad, but wow – what a low blow. When he later tried to apologize, Izzie told him to never speak of Denny to her again. Can they ever repair their relationship?
4) Meredith and Derek felt the fallout of the Burketina cover up. He was upset with Meredith for not saying something during the surgery and she was upset that he expected her to betray her best friend. Sure did work out in the end for those two, though, didn’t it? What about Meredith and Christina, can they get over it?
5) Alex and Addison – told y’all. It is on now – I can’t wait.
6) Again, WHERE IS BAILEY? I need more Bailey. But once again, what little bit she was in the show, she was awesome.
7) Callie about to kick Meredith’s ass had Izzie not intervened? Hilarious! “Use your words Callie, your words!”
Thoughts?

I have this love-hate relationship with Alex. He’s such an ass sometimes, but yuuuuuuum. Addison too–I hate her as a ex-wife, but I love her as a doctor, and of all the characters on the show everyone says I act like her the most. (note: I never cheated on anyone! haha)

What a great episode! I couldn’t believe what a jerk Burke was being! He just slammed the door in Christina’s face at the end. I mean, he had a choice in this matter too. It was NOT all her fault. He needs to get over himself.
And didn’t Meredith JUST find out about Burke’s hand? I mean, had she known for a long time? I thought she’d just figured it out when Cristina was freaking out about Burke operating without her outside the operating room. So, I was a little confused about why McDreamy felt so betrayed. Did I miss something?

Allison - I’m right there with you - I love/hate both of them, that’s why I can’t wait to see them together!
Holli - I guess Derek was upset that she didn’t tell him while he was operating on that guy’s brain and Burke was helping with his heart? But I’m with you - he shouldn’t have acted like it was some big betrayal. What was she supposed to do? Stop surgery?
