    I got so sry for Meredith... hide show

    Meredith is a reck since Derek decided to stay with Addisson. Everybody in Seattle Grace keep staring and gossipping behind her back, even her own friends. Christina, Izzie and Meredith steel a patient who has a huge belly and claims to be pregnant, like his girlfriend. The doctor that's responsible for him claims that it is a psychological matter while Christina insists that it's a surgical and the X-rays show that she's right. The man had a muscle that kept getting larger, something that is very rare to adults and that's why everybody paid Izzie and Christina to get a photo of him. Meredith kicks them out and shouts that it's not a zoo and noone can penetrate the privacy of her patient.
    A woman that can't take any strain on her heart, is so annoying that if i was George i would punch her. Her husband's doing whatever she orders him until he can't stand it anymore and shouts back at her. She then gets a heart-attack and at the middle of her 5th open-heart surgery, her heart catches fire(?). Alex still feels that he's beeing overtaken by George and feels even more down when he is late for a patient and Burke makes him stay with a paraplegic girl whose parents don't let her have a surgery to repair her legs. After a long day with her, Alex convinces her to take her own decisions and stand up to them.
    Christina is worried that her relationship with Burke might ruin her career and her life like Meredith, so Burke tells Chief Webber about them and how serious what they have is.
    Alex gives a hot kiss to Izzie at the bar, in front of her stunned friends. Addisson and Derek go to a marriage councel and after some successful meetings, Addisson decides to stay at Seattle with her husband, instead of going to Manhattan.

    Relationships, relationships. hide show

    It's all about relationships.

    Derek and Addison are going to a marriage counselor. They have an argument about whether Addison should move to Seattle or not, which is what Derek wants, and Addison doesn't want to move, but what she does want is for Derek to not talk to Meredith anymore.

    Cristina and Burke have a disagreement. Burke wants to tell the Chief about their relationship before he finds out himself, but Cristina doesn't want to risk her career, or her reputation.

    //If you don't want to read a spoiler, skip this paragraph.
    Izzie isn't happy about her date with Alex, and she still isn't speaking to him. At the end of the episode, he does something that finally makes things right between them.
    //End of spoiler.

    This episode was all about relationships, really. Get your tissues ready, because if you're emotional like me, you're going to cry.

    Communication...the first thing we learn in our life! hide show

    Meredith is completely broken because Derek choose Addison and Cristina and Izzie have a plan to make her happy because they stole one of the wierdest cases in the history of medicine - a pregnant guy. They thought that it was in his head but he took a pregnancy test and it was positive.
    Kimberly has to have a fourth open heart surgery and her heart caught on fire. She treats her husband like dirt but he found a way to leave her.
    Nicole needs to have surgery but her parents don't want her too. Alex shows his brighter side and talks with her and she wants to have it at the end.
    I really didn't like a lot of characters in this episode. A lot of them went on my nerves, but this episode is as good as any other Anatomy !

    Only the second episode i've watched but i'm hooked already..! hide show

    I enjoyed this epi they included a comical storyline amidst all the decisions and tongue wagging at Meredith.

    The whole pregnant guy and how christina and Izzie handled it just made me lauf selling tickets to see it was just classic and the excitement on their faces having discovered it was priceless.In the end i think Meredith did do the right thing and gave the poor bloke some privacy..

    Like someone said before me it is obvious addison and derek are kidding themselves he's only stopped talking to her cause she has to him and he's being watched like a hawk by the other interns and she's only staying because of the money.. Err guys get some perspective where are you expecting this to go?

    And that kiss was phenomonal alex took his time but man i'm sure Izzie thought it was worth it ...!

    This episode was awesome..!

    ... hide show

    This is perhaps, in my opinion, one of the worst episodes yet of Grey's Anatomy, being so for a number of reasons. Most obviously, it followed last week's stunner of an episode, so it really did have some tough competition.

    Ok, here's some general thoughts of mine in a list:

    1. I didn't like the whole voice-over theme of the episode. Despite not being an overly fanatic fan of Meredith, I often find her musings quite entertaining. I don't think the whole Romeno and Juliet thing worked at all though. This has to be one of the poorest voice-overs yet.

    2. I'm really not digging Izzie this season. I didn't like her at first in season 1 but then the character really grew on me what with the program's efforts to show the beautiful blondes can be clever too. But, right now she's so Alex focused and into herself that I'm not enjoying the character at all.

    3. That said, I'm also not feeling the Alex vibes. In season 1 I could tolerate him as a friendly under-developed jerk. In season 2 he had a complete personality implant and I started to like him. Now though, he just seems a bit pathetic.

    4. I am, however, loving Cristina again. And yes, she was hot in her many dresses (I've never really noticed that before). Her date-turned-life-saving-surgery with Burke was fun, they really do make a good couple. I can imagine them in 10 years time, exactly the same, lots of medicine, lots of sex and the ocassional dinner!

    5. I liked the little story-line with Addison and Derek's friends. She was a strong woman. I'm not enjoying the current state of relation between Addison and Derek though, and I feel the lift scene in particular was uncalled for. Why oh why are they putting us through this when it's plain as day he'll just cave-in and go back to poor needy Meredith! (Oh, and why was she wearing a plaster? I totally missed that).

    6. Pregnant Nazi...could be interesting I guess. I hope they treat the story-line o.k.
