recap city

I know I said I wasn't posting for the rest of the week, but seriously.  I can't NOT recap last night's Grey's Anatomy.  It would just feel wrong. 

So last night's episode:


Holy crap when Owen was choking Christina I was freaking out.  Big time.  The marks on her neck were pretty intense, but I really wasn't that surprised when she forgave him and hugged him and wouldn't break up with him (yea yea I'll get to that).  I don't blame Meredith for telling her that her turtleneck was gross, but not as gross as her hugging Owen after he choked her.  If my friend's boyfriend left marks like that on her neck I'd want to kill him too.


The fact that I like Christina and Owen so much as a couple made it all the more heartbreaking when she told him she couldn't be with him because she was afraid to sleep next to him.  Can't really blame her for that one.  But here's hoping he lets Derek help him get better and we can have take 2 of Owen and Christina's relationship.  Also I heard that Amy Madigan is coming back as the shrink, which is good.  I liked her.


I'm very happy to have regular Derek back, and his non-proposal proposal in the elevator was perfect for those two.  Only a couple of surgeons would discuss their relationship in terms of brains they had operated on together.  It was cute.  I did like how he kept trying to give the ring to her sort of like a lost puppy hoping she would take it and lead him where he needed to go, and I especially liked that she didn't fall for it.  Excellent stuff.


And now Izzie.  I knew we were headed for an Alex breakdown and it did not disappoint me.  He asked himself/Meredith every question I had in my head about why he didn't see this coming, and he even called out that he was so used to crazy chicks in his life that he didn't think twice when she said she was seeing a ghost.  I teared up when he started talking about how it was crap and that wasn't how he and Izzie were supposed to make babies, I'm not gonna lie.


Even though the superfriends were all sort of crappy leading up to Izzie's surgery because they were avoiding her and scared and all that, one of my favorite parts was when Alex crawled into Izzie's bed after the surgery and the following transpired (these quotes are probably not accurate, I don't have DVR to review so this is all from memory):


Izzie (drowsy and out of it): hey...
Alex: I splooged in a cup for you today.
Izzie: thanks?


I don't know why, but it was sort of perfect for them.  Alex has come a long way but he's still sort of emotionally stunted, so that is a pretty believable way that he would tell her that he loves her and he's there for her. 


I'm gonna need some Izzie/George resolution soon, though.  We started tonight when he was smashing things and Callie came to talk some sense into him.  He's angry and a little insulted, and I can understand that but he's still George so he'll still do the right thing in the end.  And let's make that the next episode shall we?  Thanks.


Speaking of the next episode, the fact that this one did not end with a "next week...." segment, that makes me fear that we won't see a new episode for awhile.  Bummer.
