Grey’s Anatomy

Oh come on, that is a fantastic couple name for Addison/Alex don’t you think? And no, I can’t take credit for it. So let’s recap, shall we?

Mr. O’Malley wasn’t getting any better. George figured out that the Chief and Bailey had proceeded with the surgery even though they shouldn’t have. Angry, he confronted them and cried as he realized his dad had insisted they do the surgery. (Um, hello, Emmy’s, meet TR Knight). George’s family had to decide whether or not to take his dad off the ventilator and they did. What a sad scene that was. Come to think of it, the whole show was sad last night.

Elsewhere, Izzie donated the money for the girl to have the spine surgery. Bailey asked her if she paid the money to scrub in. When Izzie said no, she paid the money to help another human being, Bailey told her she must decide if she was a surgeon or a person who wants to help and gets emotionally involved. After seeing George go through so much pain in losing his dad, she told Bailey she was both and that she wouldn’t apologize for it. I loved that. I also love that we are seeing some similarities between Bailey and Izzie. The “Nazi” and Izzie are both softies. It’s just that Izzie shows it and Bailey most often does not. I needed a minute, too, after Bailey performed that procedure on Mr. O’Malley. I think everyone watching needed a breath.

Meredith is still struggling with daddy issues. She did ask Thatcher why he left. He stuttered something about Ellis telling him not to call, etc. It wasn’t much of an explanation, but I guess it was better than nothing. Meredith asked him if he snored and he said yes. He told her to get wax ear plugs and she gave some to Derek.

Burke and Christina continued their stupid silence. After learning of Mr. O’Malley’s death, Burke decided to give in and he said he had not had any tremors at all.

Of course the big news was that Addison was pregnant 8 months ago with Mark’s child and she had an abortion. He marked the date on the calendar and had gone out and bought the child a Yankees outfit. Mark told Addison he would have been a great father and asked her why she didn’t want a child. She tearfully told him she wanted Derek at the time and she did not want a child with him. He was still cheating on her even after he learned she was pregnant. Wow. The weight of it all was eating Addison and Mark alive throughout the episode. Mark asked Callie if she thought he would have been a good father. He finally admitted he would have been terrible. And then the big moment - despite apologizing to Alex about the near kiss, at the end, in the bar, she kissed him.

So, now starts the era of Addisex. Yea! Looks like Callie and George are getting back together. (But as my friend Lauren pointed out, they totally can’t get married because she would be “Callie O’Malley” HA!). Izzie is finally ready to be a surgeon again and it looks like she is going to use that money for wonderful things. Burke and Christina look to be getting back on track. And now that the snoring issue is resolved (sort of) maybe we’ll get to see MerDer talking about something else. And what’s to become of Mark? Will he continue to be a one note, villian, or will we start to see another side of him like we have Alex and Addison?

Thoughts?
