I thought this was a pretty slow-moving episode of Grey’s Anatomy. I lost interest about halfway through it and kept glancing at the clock to see how much longer it would be on. Not a particularly good sign, huh? Here’s what happened:
Bailey: The hospital had some kind of conference where the doctors got together to talk about recent mortalities. Bailey totally got blamed for the Denny mess even though it wasn’t really her fault. I guess the other doctors thought that since Izzie was her intern, Bailey should have been more on top of things. Yeah, like what’s she supposed to do, institute a 24-hr watch on all the patients her interns come into contact with?
Izzie: Normally, I like this character, but she has been grating on my nerves this season. I’m sorry, but I simply cannot believe that she fell completely and totally in love with Denny. The guy was in a hospital bed the entire time, for god’s sake! Sure, there could be an attraction. Maybe even strong feelings. But love? True love? I highly doubt it. But here’s Izzie moping around like she just lost her husband of 50 years. Plus, would anyone really act that way about an $8.7 million check? Put it in the bank, you idiot!
Addison/Derek: God, he is such a jerk. I like Addison — she’s become one of my favorite characters. She deserves so much better than Derek. Thankfully that divorce is final now. Let’s move on, people.
Meredith/Derek: I don’t even care anymore. Seriously? Seriously.
Cristina/Burke: These two are playing with fire here. Burke is suffering from tremors or something, but only Cristina knows about it. Instead of having a specialist look at the hand, they’re trying to cover up the existence of a problem. Cristina jumped in to finish off a procedure that Burke was struggling with. This can’t lead to anything good.
George/Callie: George tries to make up with Callie, but she’s not having any of it. She insists that she’s not there to compete with his friends, and literally slams the door in his face when he shows up with a bucket of chicken and some video games (his peace offering, I guess).
Alex: For someone who can be such a complete ass at times, he can also be really nice and considerate too. He showed off this side at the very end when he told Bailey that he had a chance to stop Izzie too (re: the whole Denny thing) but didn’t do it. In other words, he was saying that it wasn’t Bailey’s fault, which is exactly what she needed to hear — even if it was coming from an intern.
