well, that was something

How sick are you guys of my Grey's recaps on Fridays?  That's ok, I'm going to keep writing them anyway. :)

I thought last night's episode was pretty fantastic.  I did cry at the end, but that's pretty standard for this show (or any dramatic show, particularly one involving sick children and people dying left, right and center). 

I'm glad Christina and Meredith finally made up, and also that it wasn't a big sobfest of apologies.  I don't like big sobfests of apologies, and to be quite frank with you, every big fight I've had with a friend in my life (and I've had some, let me tell you) usually ends exactly this way.  It's been long enough, we don't want to fight, but we're too stubborn to admit we may have been wrong, so we just act as though things are fine and the fight never happened.  Maybe it's not the healthiest way to deal with conflict, but it's tradition.

I'm also glad that Derek and Meredith both seem to be growing up a little bit.  If this whole serial killer thing had happened even last season it would have been grounds for an immediate breakup.  Luckily, Meredith had her big candlelight breakthrough and then Derek had his mom come in and tell him what's what so he could be there outside the prison after she watched the serial killer die (I can't believe she went.  Yikes) and she could open up enough to say that she didn't know what the hell was wrong with her either and not try to deal with that horrible-ness alone.  I enjoyed that her uncontrollable crying freaked him out so much that he drove her over to Christina's because there was really no one else who could handle that sort of situation.  And of course, Christina came through, but we've covered that already.


I wasn't sure how this next relationship would go, but Mark and Lexie continue to get cuter and cuter.  Even with the fairly ridiculous premise of last night's mishap (I know it's a real thing, but it's still ridiculous) they managed to be cute.  And funny. 

The story with the kid who was dying was pretty hard to watch, particularly when Bailey was in the OR begging Derek to stop operating so she could have the sk's organs.  But Bailey is Bailey and when push comes to shove she was always going to do the right thing.  I knew that kid wasn't going to die, Grey's would not do that to me in a way ER always did (before I quit that show).  Plus, you know, they had to throw the Chief and George into the episode somehow.


By the time the end of the show rolled around and Izzy finally realized she was sick, my patience with her had completely worn out and I was more than ready for the realization.  Pretty much the first time Denny said, "You're a doctor.  Figure it out" I was like yes please!  Figure it out!  Do it!  Of course they had to run through every other possibility first (when she tried to rationalize that maybe he wasn't actually dead I wanted to shake her a little) but she got there!  She's sick, and hopefully in two weeks we'll find out with what (why two weeks?  why?)

And one last quick thing.  My favorite exchange of the night was between Christina and Owen:

Christina:  You've got some problems.  Some BIG problems.
Owen:  Yea.  Will you go out with my anyway?
Christina:  Yes.


Loved it.
