Episode Summary

The doctors are up to their necks in their usual levels of drama. Meredith is dealing with the backlash of sleeping with George, George and Burke are bonding in ways that bother and creep out Cristina, Cristina gets stuck on diaper duty, Bailey gets involved in a case even though she's still supposed to be on maternity leave, Addison and Derek have a talk, and Izzie is still flaking on Alex for Denny Duquette, the heart patient who didn't get a heart. In the patients-of-the-week department we've got a very pregnant woman, a hockey player whose lack of concern for his injury could have dire consequences, and a woman with a fork in her neck who happens to be dying and has a struggling marriage.

    George and Meredith are still dealing with the backlash of sleeping together whilst various patients are dealt with. hide show

    So George is still not talking to Meredith no matter how many times she says sorry.But his interaction with Callie was better even though that hockey player amputating his hand was hard to watch.Fanatic sports players will do anything to play but he ruined his career.

    Christina baby sat Bailey's baby, not a good mix we all know Christina's not really a people person but seeing her deal with such a situation added comedy to a slightly average episode.

    The lady with the fork in her Neck was the weekly dying patient who required surgery but refused.Derek's words with her hit and reflected the situation that his marriage has become resulting in a one sided conversation with Addison.

    So Izzie is still leading on Alex even though her feeling are obvious for Denny.But Alex is hardly helping himself by being a complete jerk.

    We need time for our wounds to heal. hide show

    The pregnant woman comes to hospital and her husband thinks that Addison bears a striking resembleance to Catherine Deneuve.
    Callie is back also in this episode with a lot more action then we taught before. She has a hockey player with totally bad finger and he will do the most idiotic thing ever. That is what those obsessive sports player do, they make massive sacrefice for their art.
    And a woman with her fork stuck into her neck comes to the hospital. She was hilarious, the situtation was hilarious.
    The episode was somehow slow but it was nonetheless enjoyable to watch and as usually it lets you cry for more.

    Why are everyone so upset about the George/Meredith sex-thing? hide show

    This episode was pretty much like the last episode. It really was sad to look at Derek when Meredith shared her secret. Izzie should tell Alex that they aren't dating anymore because of Denny. Alex can be a jackass sometimes, but Denny seems so kind and nice. George has to get over Meredith and focus on the other doctor(don't remember her name). They could be a nice couple. Poor Christina. She didn't deserve to babysit and I can imagine she felt really left out when Burk and George ran and played together. I think Addison and Derek should find out that their marriage doesn't work out and get divorce, but still be friends. Then Derek and Meredith can be together.

    Good episode, but Greys can do a lot better. hide show

    The only part I loved of this episode was when Cristina was looking after Baileys son. Especially when Bailey was performing the surgery and she tells Cristina what his cry means. Oh the day Cristina will become a mother! That's if she even has children, but there again I can see that being the next thing Burke will want! Overall, good episode, but it was kind of boring.

    4.8 Poor

    One of the worst episodes so far. hide show

    I didn’t really like the couple with the fork or the hockey player plot lines. The writers have done so well in previous episodes in creating bizarre and emotional situations that I think now they’re going out of their way and trying too hard.

    I don’t get what Izzie sees in Denny. He just uses cheesy pick-up lines. I feel bad for Alex, because he clearly has feelings for Izzie, and she keeps blowing him off. Exactly like Derek and Addison. But I was angry that Derek claimed to be working on the marriage. Because it’s just giving Addison false hope. And we all know that he’s going to end up with Meredith and just break Addison’s heart!

    I liked how Derek poked fun at the whole elevator thing. At least the show admits they use the corny idea of trapping the characters in an elevator together to make them confront their issues.

  • The shot of Addison twisting her ring was taken from the episode Deny, Deny, Deny (2.04). The intern in the shot is Meredith. []
  • Goof: When Natalie Cole (Mrs. Booker) stands up from her wheelchair, Meredith doesn't do anything to place the IV bottle higher than Mrs. Booker's hand. In reality, blood would have backflowed from the IV line inserted in her hand since they were talking for quite a time and the IV was still on the wheelchair's IV stand. []

  • Episode Title: Band Aid Covers The Bullet Hole

    This is also the title of a Scarling song. The song was their first single and released on CD in December 2003. The lyrics of the song suggest that some of the characters don't do quite enough to patch up emotional wounds that lie too deep to just cover with a band aid. []
