You’re toxic, I’m slipping under
Loved this one guys, what about you? Of course I say that about pretty much every one of them, don’t I? Let’s recap –
“Dude, she’s Callie O’Malley!” WOW. So George and Callie ran right off to Vegas and got married. Big mistake. I don’t think this one is going to last folks. Do you? They just don’t seem right together to me. And did they really think there wouldn’t be teasing and jokes? Callie was too sensitive. And if George was my pal, I’d have questioned him just like Izzie did. That’s what friends do - they look out for each other. But that, “So is the little Missus moving in” comment was funny. But it gave George a chance to stand up for Callie, which is what she wanted all along. Keep ‘em coming, Izzie, I love the humor. Oh and Christina calling him Bambi?? Priceless.
The free clinic opened up and here’s a real world question for you - would a hospital let a surgery resident just put aside her normal job to do this? Anyway, Izzie seemed to think that this project was going to make her feel better, but so far no luck. Any storyline with Bailey is a good one, though, and I loved her speech to the young girl.
Meredith’s mom Ellis woke up lucid and raising hell. Any scene she was in was hard to watch. I have to say, I think Ellen Pompeo did some of her best acting last night. Ellis was brutal to Meredith and of course she was loving on Christina. Christina asked her if she could be a brilliant surgeon and have a life. Ellis told her she could if she just worked hard for both. How brutal was Ellis when she said she was disappointed that Meredith was happy and becoming soft. Ouch. No wonder the girl has tequila issues.
Addison, Addison, Addison. She spent the whole episode practically salivating over Alex only to end the day in bed with Mark. I thought she was going to just jump on Alex right there in the clinic when he stripped down to his undershirt. Ha! And clearly Alex shares the same thoughts. It’s only a matter of time. Once again, I have to ask, is Mark ever going to be more than a McManWhore on the show? Does he have any redeeming qualities at all? He’s a real hero - “I’m not going in there.” Ridiculous.
And poor Derek tried to talk to Ellis and she wasn’t having it. But he just batted those eyelashes and went into surgery to try and save a life.
Christina said yes to Burke. Their little victory dance was very cute. Will we see a wedding this season or not?
Thoughts?

I laughed out loud at the “Callie O’Malley” remark. That was fantastic! I’m not thinking it will last, either, but I love George so much, and I’m liking Callie more every episode, so I don’t want either of them to go away…
I could not believe how cruel Ellis was to Meredith. I was hurting just watching it.
I agree that Burke and Christina’s celebration was really cute, but how could she not wear that ring?? Are you kidding me??

I agree with pretty much everything you said. I’m not always a fan of Mer like everyone else is but I thought last night was some of her best acting work yet. Esp. when she told her mother SHE was the reason she’s not focused.
I also LOVED Burke and Christina’s dance and hug. They finally made me smile instead of roll my eyes. And yeah, hand over that ring Christina. I’m totally a ring person and will wear that bad boy with pride. Much pride!
McManWhore. Good one. That really is all he is on the show. They have to do something more with him. I’m sure they will soon.
Addison! What the hell. Get off of Mark. But clearly, she was thinking of Alex.
Alex. McHOTTIE! He is so hot. I loved him and Izzie trying to get that guy into the free clinic. That’s the humor that they had in season 1 (that I’m watching on Lifetime right now) that they lost in previous episodes. Glad it’s back.
The only thing I don’t agree with you on is George and Callie. I’ve never been a fan of them, until last night. I thought they were very cute last night.
I laughed out loud (literally) at Callie O’Malley because I remember reading somewhere (not sure if it was here or another blog) that someone said Callie couldn’t marry George because she would be Callie O’Malley. Priceless.
Oh, and one more part that made me laugh. Izzie opening her mouth about the ring and Christina laughing in her “No you didn’t” laugh. I LOVE THIS SHOW!.
Are you ready for the next THREE episodes. They are going to be soooo good.

LOVED Burke and Cristina’s happy dance. Not loving the O’Malleys… I hope it works for them, but as we all know, none of these couples have a snowballs chance in TVLand. Anyway - good recap. I can’t get over Addison and McSteamy, but like I’ve said, if I were a TV character, I’d probably do that too!!!

I loved Christina and Burke. “We have money so we can hire a wife.” That was funny. But the stuff with Addison and McSteamy. What the hell? Oh well. I rfeally enjoyed it. Bambi got married. That was fun.

I loved this episode, but good heavens, can they PLEASE write one that I don’t have to CRY at! Jeesh!

Meg - I’m with you! I’d love to have one lighter episode, heavy on the comedy, just to change up for once!

I was really surprised that both proposals were resolved fairly quickly, but happy with the results. Given Callie’s look of terror when George proposed, I thought she was going to try to buy them a little time, but I “embrace the trashy” with them and hope it will work. They need to stay on and stop being on and off, at least for a while. And Izzie? Needs to shut up. People who get engaged to patients, steal hearts for them, and ultimately kill them should not throw stones.
I loved the laughing-and-jumping moment at the end with Christina and Burke; it was so nice to see them actually demonstrate love and excitement with each other instead of calculated game-playing (though clearly for them, game-playing is part of the draw).
