Sympathy for the Devil Recap
These past two episodes have been really good. I love the continuity of the storylines. It’s much better than those stand alone episodes that it doesn’t matter if you’ve seen the previous week or not.
This week continues the serial killer’s (William) story. He wants to give his organs to Bailey’s dying patient, Jackson. As it turns out, William was a match, but another child died, and they proceeded with the surgery using his organs instead. The organs didn’t take and Jackson had 24 hours to live without another transplant.
The creepy William continued to get into Meredith’s head. He begged Derek to let him die instead of having brain surgery. They did emergency surgery and after William heard that Jackson’s surgery was unsuccessful, he asked Meredith to help him find a way to die so Jackson could have his organs. Meredith told him that if he damaged the head wound, he would likely die. After she left the room, he began working to injure his head wound.
Meanwhile, Derek’s mother arrived. Sloan hid from her and when finally confronted, he confessed his affair with Lexie to her. She told him he should be happy. So I wonder if these two are going to try to actually be a couple now? Might be interesting.
Meredith tried to be all sunny and Izzie-like for the meeting, but it didn’t work. Best line of the night came courtesy of Mer’s still estranged BFF, Cristina – “That ponytail? It’s going to blow.” Those two still need to get back together. Cristina can obviously use someone to talk to about the Major. The shower scene? Interesting – didn’t know what to make of it.
Denny is still hanging around but Izzie has had enough. She tells him she’s “breaking up” with him. And happily listens to Alex’s idea for a road trip to meet his mother. Then we saw Denny sit down next to Alex and say they needed to talk. Let’s just get this storyline going – whatever it is going to be – let’s hurry up and find out, because I love Denny, but they are dragging it out way too long and it’s ridiculous.
And big news - Derek got his mother’s engagement ring!! Going to the McChapel???
