Grey’s: A Mother And A Ring . . Oh Another Lesbian Too

So in last week’s episode, Meredith continued to feel sympathy for the serial killer, even though everyone else didn’t. I don’t know why, but with his whole “brain” issue they kept going on and on, I expected Meredith to discover the reason he went nuts and killed people was some brain tumor. It didn’t happen.

Meanwhile Baily’s patient’s organs were failing and Arizona just wanted to wait for more organs. The serial killer offered his up, but Derek was so fixated on keeping him alive so he could be executed that he wouldn’t listen to Meredith. The boy eventually got some organs, but in surgery another problem was spotted, basically half his intestines had died and he had 24 hours to get even more organs for a transplant.

Meredith went to the killer, who was determined for some reason to help the boy. She told him that should trauma happen to the back of his head, where his brain was exposed, nothing could save him. She left him alone and he proceeded to smash his head on the bed board. This was just gross to watch. I mean I know the man did some bad things, but watching him do that to himself made me feel sorry for him!

Derek’s mom appeared in this episode played by the amazing Tyne Daly. She made this whole episode! I seriously hope they bring her back. In fact I could totally get into her being brought in as a regular cast member. Meredith took Izzie’s advice to impress her, sporting a pony tail that would make Debbie Gibson proud and trying to be bubbly and happy. Eventually she told Derek’s mom that the pony tail wasn’t her, mom’s never like her, she’s dark and moody and she feels sorry for sympathy killers.

Oh yeah, Derek’s mom loved her! She told Derek that he needed her to balance him out, he was black and white whereas Meredith was grey (haha, get it!). She gave him his grandmother’s engagement ring to give to Meredith!

Christina and Meridith’s icy relationship began to melt as Christina finally talked to her, though only to tell her that her pony tail was stupid. Still it was a start.

Derek wasn’t the only one getting advice from his mom. Mark went to her about dating Lexie. She thought Lexie was charming and frankly probably more mature than Mark, so the age difference didn’t matter! Can I say again how much I love Tyne Daly and want the show to find ways to bring her back.

Owen asked Christina out, but was so petrified he showed up drunk at her place. What is with all my people on ABC shows getting sloshed on or before their dates? The worst part, Christina was looking smoking all done up for Owen. I don’t think I have ever seen her look more beautiful on this show than in this episode.

Finally the 2nd best thing about this episode? Izzie realized she couldn’t date a dead guy and dumped Denny! Woo hoo! Too bad he’s supposed to be sticking around till March . . .

Oh and now for a spoilerish tid-bit, which I must admit is pissing me off. Ausiello (EW) posted today that Callie would start developing feelings for Arizona! What what what? Is this a joke? I hope he was confusing Arizona and Sadie’s character and made a mistake, but I fear not. The question asked was whether the show might keep her around, and he basically responded it looked like she was being groomed for Callie’s latest love interest. I love Callie, but at this point I feel like the show just needs to fricken decide on a love interest for her and stick with one!

  1. I don’t care if Christina and Meredith never talk again because the looks they gave each other at the begining of the show when Christina saw that pony tail was priceless. I could here Christina saying “What The F)))!” and Meredith had a “Say Something B))))” look on her face. I laughed at that scene the whole night. They never have to talk again if they just keep communication with their expressions.

  2. Sadie (Melissa George) is leaving the show so she’s not going to be Callie’s love interest for long. I think that’s why they have to introduce another option for her.

  3. Yeah but the problem is, originally Arizona was a few episodes only too. It’s like they keep hooking Callie up with the guest stars lol.

  4. Dustin, I completely agree about Tyne Daly! She is terrific! I didn’t realize how much I miss seeing her on television. She was so wonderful on Judging Amy. She played a great part and really seemed to fit in with the cast and characters. Bring her on full-time!!
