Latest WA-SEN Poll Shows Murray Facing Trouble From Potential Rossi Run
Sure, there was talk of possible malpractice suits. In between commercial breaks, we could have sworn Meredith was in danger of losing her job. There may even have been some stuff about responsibility and adulthood thrown in for good measure. We weren't really paying attention to any of that, though. We were too busy watching the hot docs of Grey's Anatomy get it on.
It's party time for the good doctors. Or make that "good" doctors. Izzie throws a soiree at Meredith's house without remembering to clear it with her bestest roomie first. But what was meant to be an intimate meet 'n' greet for Izzie's friends and hockey player boyfriend turns into a gigantic house party worthy of any Greek Row shindig.
Turns out the whole escalating guest list was to avoid being alone with the hulky jock and therefore avoid the really bad sex they had together. Didn't matter much anyway, since Izzie never showed. She and Dr. Alex were called in to an emergency brain surgery for a self-medicating drug addict who refused to leave the hospital. Jerky Alex earned sympathy points this week by confiding that his father was a druggie musician, and that's why he was such a jackass to the patient. And, Seattlest assumes, to everyone else he's ever met. He earns a couple more brownie points by sharing his impressive knowledge of party beers. Izzie leaves the hospital just long enough to break it off with el jocko and heads back in to help Dr. Alex with recovery.
Meredith spends the entire episode lamenting the good old days when she was but a carefree young'un in her teens instead of being her current, responsibility-addled old age of twentysomething. Dilemma number one: Mama Grey. The senior doctor's caretakers want to sign power of attorney over to Meredith before her mother's alzheimer's gets too advanced. Easier said than done. Meredith rearranges her schedule and takes off early to keep the paper signing appointment, but it's too late in the day and her mother is no longer lucid enough to sign over the responsibility. Frustrated yelling ensues, but the papers are ultimately signed over. Dilemma number two: Fingernailgate. During heart transplant surgery, Meredith's fingernail pops her plastic glove and she worries she may have nicked the heart. Especially when the woman experiences some major post-operative problems. So what's a young doc to do? Why, blurt out in front of the patient's husband that she caused the damage, of course! Wait, what? Oh, that's right. That's exactly what she isn't supposed to do. Oops. Our bad. No probs, though, cause Dr. Burke saves her butt in the meeting with hospital lawyers. By 'fessing up to his own surgical mishap where he left a towel in a patient. Where it stayed for 10 years. Oops. His bad. Remind us to be thankful this hospital doesn't really exist. Dilemma number three: Gettin' caught gettin' it on. With Dr. Shepard. At her party. By her notoriously hard-lined attending surgeon. Oops. Her bad.
But wait! There's more! Apparently in the hallowed halls of Seattle Grace, bringing someone a cup of coffee is pretty hot foreplay. Cause that's about all it takes for Cristina to walk up to a half-naked Dr. Burke and get it on. In what was presumably the hospital changing room, but looked more like a closet. Seattlest doesn't like the implication of a topless man in a closet, though, so changing room it is. Ah, sweet lust. Who said romance was dead?
So you missed the love scenes cause you were too busy thinking about what song that was in the background? No problems. First thing you need to do is rearrange your priorities. After that's taken care of, you can check out the show's music guide which includes every song in the episodes in the order they were featured.

Since this is shot (at least partly) in Seattle, can anyone identify the building they are using for the hospital? It sure ain't across the street from the Pikes Place Market, despite the market sign seen through a window on an early episode.
It's actually the Washington State Liquor Control Board building in South Seattle. And yeah, it's been established that Grey's Anatomy geography is solely for the insane.
Unless, of course, you're on the roof, in which case it's Fischer Plaza.
