Dissecting Grey's Anatomy: Check, please!
Oh, Grey's. We hardly recognize you without the annoying Meredith monologue. She's too busy snoring, as McDreamy watches. Annoyed yet? just wait, cause messed-up Izzy still has not cashed the $8.6 million check! And it's got food stains on it now, ew!
AT SGH, Izzy's assigned to deal with a teenage girl with a severely messed up spine - scoliosis squared. WW Izzy do? She reveals that she's messed up, too. In the noggin after her fiance died. Empathy? Check.
But Bailey's not letting it slide. She won't let Izzy in on the operation until she invests the dough.
The O'Malley clan, on the other hand, is fretting about Daddy O'Malley's cancer. Pere O'Malley persuades the chief to let him have a radical op to fight his cancer, even though the odds aren't good. And George gets a little moral support from Dr. Torres, which is making us wonder if maybe the two could have a chance, after all? Her persistence is admirable. Or pitiful, depending on which version of The Rules you follow.
Anyhoo, our snorey lady Mere-Mere tries to sidestep drama involving her infant step-niece twice removed, but it's hard to avoid her estranged papa Thatch. Cue the music as her daddy issues paralell her current relationship with older man. Predictable?
Double-check.
Addison's wearing some crazy orange silk tie-neck blouse and apologizing to McSteamy for... breaking up his friendship with her ex? We'd say they're even-steven, and all the better as the chemistry between Addison and her intern Alex is damn near past the experimental stage. Alex reveals that he messed up McSteamy's coffee order ON PURPOSE because he was rude to her--what chivalry! Fucking up a bone dry capp is like throwing your coat over the moat, right? And they ALMOST kiss over the crib of a newborn relation of Meredith who is struggling for life. Life love, and the struggles. Check.
Burke and Cristina are at loggerheads over his hand. They don't speak. You have a strange relationship, George tells him. And Burke agrees. Two hard-headed people make for...beautiful Blasian babies?
In the absence of a monologue to some things up, we've got to draw our own conclusions. One bright red Breathe Right strip can't stop Meredith from snoring. But McDreamy still likes to watch, anyway. Cue the music montage, where everyone not asleep thinks about the jam they're in. Izzy, who tearfully deposited her millions, is ready to pay for the operation the tormented teen needs. George's dad stands a chance. Mere and McDreamy peacefully co-exist. Cristina ponders Burke's mysteries. Episode coming full circle? Say it with us: Check!
