So it’s been awhile since I posted on “Grey’s Anatomy,” so I thought I better get a thoughts post up. I really liked this week’s episode, so that made it easy. However some quick comments on last week . . . .

Oh no they did not do that to Calzona! A lot of people cheered Arizona on as she gave Callie the “you are ruining Africa for me” speech. I however was on Callie’s side. It’s not often you find someone who is willing to give up their job, their life, their friends to move with you and follow you where your job takes you. So yes Callie had a right to be a pissy, but she was still going with Arizona because she felt she was worth it in the end. For Arizona to cast her aside and basically say “Your ruining this for me” to me translated as “This is more important than you or us, and I don’t want you bringing it down.” I am hoping when we see Arizona again she is also ready to kiss butt and beg for forgiveness. Here is hoping she tells Callie she didn’t want her coming, because she’d have to look at her every day and know that Callie was willing to give up everything for me, but I clearly wasn’t willing to give up Africa for her.

As for this week, Hunt and Teddy were busy working on a top secret and important patient from the Middle East, his survival was basically paramount to maintaining peace there. At the same time everyone had begun to learn Christina quit, and many, including Derek, placed the blame on Teddy.

Christina and Callie bonded over their pain and what not. I laughed so hard when Christina cut Callie’s hair off (after she was contemplating out loud a haircut). When Christina butchered it, they had to go to the mall. Callie now has a hot sassy hair cut with blue highlights. Very nice! She is also moving back in with Mark. YES! These two are the best best friends, possibly even more fun than Meredith and Christina.

Karev and April were assigned to work with the new Pediatric attending (Peter MacNicol), who as it turns out, is as big of an ass as Karev. He not only doesn’t seem to care about the kids, he stole Karev’s suggestion on saving a kid and tried to pass it off as his own work. April made sure people, aka The Chief, knew who came up with the life saving surgery. Just when it looked like April and Karev would be getting it on, he turned into the jackass he normally is. He wasn’t alone though, Avery has a huge anger chip growing on his shoulder two, and the two got into a huge fight over Alex being an ass to April.

What we did learn was that Alex, who claimed he went to Vegas for a friend’s bachelor party, really had to go home. His brother got diagnosed as a schizophrenic and he had to commit him. His mom is also off her pills and not doing well. We learned Alex has a 16 year old sister, whom I’m guessing will probably be showing up in Seattle shortly. Hey they need to soften Alex somehow, this is probably it.

Derek and Christina, who planned a housewarming party but hid from everyone when she found out they all planned to confront her on quitting, bonded on the rooftalk over home maintenance and interior decorating. Loved it! Word has it these two take a trip together in an upcoming episode with Derek trying to help Christina get back in the game.
