Both episodes of both shows last night featured a lot of angry men (and some angry women). I was entertained, but neither one bowled me over honestly. Ooooo are we gunna see a brawl over Bailey?

On “Grey’s” the episode focused on the men. The women were only shown quickly, or were out of the picture entirely. Derek’s house and making the deck became the gathering point for the men in the episode. Each night more showed up to bang hammers and rev power saws and take out their frustrations.

Avery was frustrated with the lack of respect he was getting, especially from Mark. When Mark learned that Derek was inviting Avery to work on his cases as lead surgeon, that was enough for him to feel Derek was stealing Avery. He praised Avery’s talent, how he had more than he did at that level, how he never ever takes time to teach students but did for Avery . . . Basically Avery stuck with Mark. Will things change though? Hopefully they will and Mark won’t keep walking all over him. I’m still team Mark and Lexie though 🙂 Which of course would make their working relationship even more acquired.

Owen felt the pressure of being the new Chief, while Mark felt slighted that he was passed over. Mark brought some good humor in the episode. The two moms were off spending time together, and Mark was left with the baby. He was sure something was wrong cause the baby didn’t cry . . ever. In one great scene Alex told him the baby likes him, want to see the baby cry? Then Alex flicked her in the foot and made her cry! It was so mean, but oddly a really funny scene.

Ben was back and upset that when he was dating Bailey, she refused to be in a relationship. Now that he left, she was ready for one.

Again the show was just okay. It was a different take on things for sure, but I’ll be happy to have the ladies back next week.

On “Private Practice,” Violet was working around the office doing paperwork and other administrative things, as well as helping evaluate new candidates to replace Naomi. Jake Reilly, Addison’s Figi guy was one of them. Everyone loved him, but Addison. Of course because she was worried it would spoil things with Sam. In the end he claimed he wanted to work there, and he would not say anything . . . it wouldn’t be an issue. Yeah right! Addison is a train wreck, it’s gunna go bad.

Addison was moving forward with the pregnancy plan, and asked Sam to wear some love gloves, since he didn’t want the kid to be his. He whined and complained “you know I hate those things.” Really? Really? A doctor saying this? A doctor whose teen daughter got knocked up? I already hate Addisam enough as is, thanks for making me loath them even more! Though I can’t be on team Jake+Addison either, the love triangles with her never end.

Pete also was back at work, earlier than everyone expected. Sheldon was worried, and warned people that Pete was just faced with mortality, he’s feeling emasculated by that and Violet’s hovering, he’s going to blow. Of course he did, he blew up at Violet in front of everyone. He told her she shouldn’t be there, she had no job so she should be at home, being a mother to their child. Later she sat him down and told him she would be his wife, his nursemaid if need be, but not his punching bag. She told him that he was down right mean, and he needs to find a therapist. Loved Violet standing up for herself. I just hope she gets back to work soon.

Over at the hospital, Cooper stole another couples core blood from a bank to save a dying girl who it matched, which he learned by breaking into Charlotte’s computer. Yeah, not a good move! He saved the girl, but is now on Charlotte’s bad side. If he messes up one more time . . . He is going to be in deep . . . How exactly does Cooper manage to get away with all the crap he pulls? If anyone should have had their license revoked in this show it should be him!

Meanwhile Amelia was thirty days sober, but felt Charlotte didn’t care. She didn’t care she had been sober for years, she was there for Charlotte after the rape and she had a slip up. Eventually Charlotte did let Amelia back on surgical rotation, but Amelia is not about to forgive and forget! Amelia is quickly becoming one of my favorites of the whole show.
