Manifold Motion's Miscellenea II Wraps Up Tonight
Around The -Ists This Week
Whether via tampon purchasing or virtual human neutering, this week's Grey's Anatomy was all about the gentle art of emasculation. Well, emasculation but also half-naked chicks. So it kind of all balanced itself out in the end. Ready to recap? Let's begin.
Naturally, the episode begins with more Seattle geography for the insane, and in a nice continuity switch-up, we're also told it's 4:30 am. Not sure why we're suddenly privy to the good doctors' wake-up time, but most likely to stress the fact that these are Very Important Doctors who have busy schedules and can't sit around all day making out with their bosses. Or something.
This week's major storyline revolved around Izzie's, aka Dr. Model's, lingerie ad which appears in Seattle magazine. The spread is found by the jerky Dr. Alex and after much chauvinistic hazing, Izzie explains she posed for the shoot to pay off her student loans and now she's not in debt like the rest of those suckers. Of course, she took her big feminist stand while screaming and stripping down to her underwear, but really, that may have only helped her point. Now, Seattlest is all for nicely wrapped storylines, but the producers may want to run some circulation numbers the next time they feature a local publication (unless of course they want to feature a certain local blog, in which case, inflate away) as they seem to imply the whole of Seattle's readership are Seattle Grace Hospital employees. And finding an issue in the hospital records room? The hospital records room?! Someone down there must be on Rachel Hart's payroll. Dr. Model also comes to the aid of a man with prostate cancer who was scheduled to be all but neutered the next day. Turns out he fantasized about Izzie after seeing her in (where else?) Seattle magazine and she convinces the surgeon to save some nerves so the guy has a chance at a normal sex life. See? Models can like, help, and stuff.
Cristina Yang took a cue from the Grinch as her heart grew three sizes that day! She snatches up a patient she thinks will guarantee her a shot in the O.R., but no luck. The patient is a former scrub nurse (of the alzheimer's-stricken Dr. Grey, no less) and has come to the hospital simply to die.
Georgie-boy feels emasculated when he's told to buy tampons for the roomies. And when they come into the bathroom while he's in the shower. And use his toothbrush. And think of him like a sister. Ouch. All's well, though, as George regains his confidence and reclaims some lost masculinity in a heart-to-heart with Izzie. But she still uses his toothbrush.
Lastly, Meredith gets to help the object of her affection when a patient comes in with nails in his head. Yeah, nails as in Home Depot, not corner salon. They're removed successfully but it turns out the guy also has a tumor. He opts out of a surgery and in addition to getting berated by Meredith for his decision (motherly displacement much?) he learns he'll have only have a few years to live. Things get bright at the end, though, when just-do-it-already (again) doctors Grey and Shepherd go out to lunch.

If you had fliped channels to "Revelations" on Channel 5 you would have noticed the same Hostpital set used in Grays Anatomy for some religious fundie hospital where everyone in the room shouts at each other while kids flatline. Very entertaining.
