Dissecting Grey's Anatomy: Grey's Expectations
Grey's word of the day is expectations. Great ones. You'd expect Meredith to use a Sonicare, for example, but you'd be wrong.
McSteamy plans to leave town, after one last rhinoplasty. He likes to leave the city a little prettier than when he came, but changes his mind after learning that there's an impending race to fill the Chief's seat. Derek, it's on, brother!
Ok, two young waitress roomates in. Sound like a dirty joke. But no, one has cancer. The other is banished from their Amish community. The one with cancer wants to die at home, but she doesn't want to leave her friend, who is shunned from the community. Finally the friend acts like one, and tells her to go home and die Amish with her family. Amen.
Bailey is agitating for a free clinic, but it's hard to drum up interest from the self-involved staff. Chief tells Bailey that someday she will be chief of surgery. She just wants the clinic, because she needs to believe in something the way she used to believe in the other surgeons with their messy love lives. Nazi's back, Derek says.
Amen to that.
Izzy is jealous of George and Callie, but maybe she just needs something to believe in. Fortunately, Bailey's got a free clinic for izzy to stick her $8 million in.
Burke and Cristina still aren't talking, until Cristina gives in. Unlike, a recent patient, the marathoner who refuses to slow down when ill, Cristina is in it to finish the race. She doesn't have to win. She gives in to Burke by talking to him, and he responds by saying "Marry me." Whoa, there! Maybe they could just, you know, start chatting again! You've got to warm up before you can commit to going the distance!!
George is a grieving sex machine. Callie can't take it. George confesses he feels better just looking at her and he says he loves her. And then he drops to one knee and pops the question. Holy crap, what a copycat! But at least Burke and George can have a double wedding!!
Sometimes our expectations sell us short, Meredith concludes. Well, Seattlest certainly didn't expect dual marriage proposals. How will we decide? Who's gonna do the flowers? Can we have it in the OR? Ok, if this episode is about expectations, Seattlest expects to see some bling-bling, STAT! Next episode, people. Bring your loops!
