Greys: Crash!
So the show opened with a car pile-up on the interstate followed by a huge ambulance crash, and it all went downhill from there.
The two guys trapped in the ambulance for the entire episode was just heartbreaking. We knew the one was a goner, then to only find out at the end the second may not make it either! Heartbreaking, oh and a tad gross. I have trouble watching a lot of this show because of the gore, it’s too realistic!
Baily and her husband are once again having issues. She didn’t have time to talk in the morning before work, suggesting they do lunch. She of course was in surgery when he showed up. I think we know where this is going, he’s going to ask for a divorce and custody of the kid.
Baily was forced to operate on a white supremacist with a swastika tattooed on his stomach. I loved the way she handled herself, saying she would rise above this. I also loved before surgery she said “I’m calling on Jesus, I don’t do this often, I don’t know if he’s even listening.” It was great. Of course then when she had to make the cut, she went right down the center of his tattoo!
Sloane continued his pursuit of Hahn, and she continued shooting him down. I still don’t like this storyline. He should be pursuing Callie!
I’m completely over the Christina verses Izzy war, which seems to show no signs of slowing down. Christina is coming out looking like, well a very very bad word I can’t say on here! Christina may be a brilliant surgeon, but she’ll be a crummy doctor because she doesn’t care about her patients, just the glory of doing the biggest and best operation. Also what is up with George and Izzy? Are they still not over? I’m over them too!
Derrek did some serious flirting with new/old nurse Rose. Turns out she ended an engagement the past year. Why? She knew what she wanted, he didn’t. Hmmm, sounds familiar. Derek thought so too. No no no no no! Why couldn’t Meredith have just told Derek she didn’t want him seeing other people like she claimed she was going to? Why can’t she open her mouth and say she wants him?
Ava returned in this episode to see Alex. He of course didn’t tell her about Lexi, or vice versa. Slime! He got caught though when he snuck Ava into the observation deck to watch him work. She ran into Lexi, who realized Alex was basically seeing someone else. Well technically I guess he hasn’t, she did leave to go back home. However she keeps coming back, and Alex keeps hooking up with her. Alex needs to figure out who and what he wants.
Finally Seth Green checked into the hospital this week as a patient Sloan removed a tumor from on his neck. He was left with and exposed corroded artery that could blow at any moment, leading him to bleed to death. Well we know where this one was headed from the start! Seth took a liking to Lexi, they bonded over jerky boyfriends and girlfriends. Of course as the episode ended, Seth laughed, and his artery exploded all over Lexi! GROSS! I knew it was coming, but that was just nasty!
Lots of sads in this episode. Interesting how they are bringing in these different relationships and putting them on display in front of Meredith. Wonder what they intend to come of that…
Seth Green was the best part of the show. Totally knew what was coming when Sloane presented the case to everyone. See this artery pulsing was like watching a bomb timer tick down to 0:00. Maybe Sloane should’ve forbidden hot chicks from attending to the guy — talk about blowin’ it!

I think they might have Meredith temporarily quit. Apparently a female someone else (Callie?) narrates an episode coming up because the usual narrator can’t do it. I think Meredith is going to have a little bit of a freak out if the guy in the ambulance dies and if/when she sees Derek with Rose. Just my opinion right now. Might spice things up a bit.

Looks like Bailey will be the narrator – I’d bet that kitchen scene wasn’t so random and Tucker sues not only for divorce but full custody. 🙁

Dustin, I am also disgusted with several aspects of the show right now. The Izzie and George ‘thing’ needs to end. It’s past time to move on. I actually enjoy the Christina/Izzie rival. I do seriously think that Izzie needs to let go of the fact that she isn’t in the Mer/Christina clique.
I feel bad for Miranda. This obvious upcoming storyline is going to be extremely hard on the character. But for the actress, it’s going to provide some excellent opportunities for her to showcase her brilliance in acting. Should be an interesting year for Bailey…if we get to finish the season…
Finally, Derek and Rose…I guess it must happen for Meredith to learn a lesson. But it worries me. What if they’re good together? What if they decide to keep the character? What will that mean for Derek and Meredith in the long-run?
Thanks for the post, Dustin. It’s always interesting to read your take on the happenings of the staff of Seattle Grace.

Loved this episode and loved the exploding carotid artery! In real life I would totally root for Derrick and Rose as she (so far) is not the emotional basket case Meredith seems to be (But seeing how Derrick is a bit of an emotional wreck himself, perhaps Rose deserves better than him). But since so much time and energy has been invested in the Meredith / Derrick relationship, I guess they will eventually end up together, more or less “happily ever after”.
Feeling so bad for Bailey now. Love the actor who plays her husband!
