404
A face familiar to one of the year-twos shows up and dredges up issues that were never really dealt with. A teen football player needs counseling because of his father and surgery for an injury he sustained while playing the game. The girl who was the reason for the prom at Seattle Grace finds out her cancer is back and she brings her aunt Adele with her.
Write a Recap »A really lousy episode, with excellent but brief parts. hide show
The beginning of the episode was just dumb. The nothingness followed on, and then Camille's storyline touches you; then Callie unleashes her wrath in an unexpected way...
About the nothingness, I think the first 30 minutes were an absolute waste of time. Even though the sports guy storyline didn't catch my eye, I think this storyline unearths a very controversial issue: parents pushing their kids too much, over the edge. This happens more than we think, even in CHESS.
Cristina being rude for no reason, and not being able to respond to her duties, was just as bad as treating Lex as a number. If she's studying under you, then you should be teaching! She's not less because she's an intern.
Also, hating Lexie has no use or reason. Lexie starts to be under the spotlight, and she is proving that she is a goog person, a good student and a good friend. About this, Mer states that "We hate the idea of her, but we don't hate the actual person"... (And I start to wonder, why do they hate her if she didn't harm her in any way?) That's the second stupidest statement ever said in Grey's Anatomy... Being the other said in 03x22 (A guy says "You can't date Addison, she's a person. or sth like that).
Cafeteria drama was just lame, and it seems like a tennager's quarrel. I don't know why Izzie thought about fighting since Callie said clearly at the very beginning "We have to talk" This makes all this drama inconsistent.
I liked what Derek said to Meredith, but I couldn't understand at the time why she would just...ignore him? And Callie is unrescogniscible... She's not the strong, fierce and independent woman whe could see in the first episodes she appeared, now came down to ashes and without a possibility to run away with dignity (what happened to Mer)
Camille's story was the best part of the episode. Twas' emotional and touching. I think she made a great performance. This and the scenes in which the song "Hawaii" is played are the best moments of the episode. Also, I liked how Alex reacted, truthful and always in his style.
Then, after the break, it goes down again...
Mer's narration was just fine.
All in all, the episode was bad, but near the ending it was very well written, and aimed straight to the heart.
Adele brings the chief's niece, Camille to the hospital because her cancer is back. Izzie prepares herself for the showdown with Callie when she finds out George told her about sleeping with Izzie. Derek propositions Meredith. hide show
So the episode starts out with Callie telling George that she forgives him for sleeping with Izzie. Personally, i already saw that one coming. The next thing that popped into my head though, was will George stay with Callie now and try to work things out, or will he still decide to go back and be with Izzie? George runs all over like a chicken with his head cut off trying to find Izzie. He really starts to panic when he finds out that Callie is looking for her also. Everyone starts making bets and whispering behind doors when Callie confronts Izzie and says she wants to talk to her at lunch. When Callie walks into the cafeteria Izzie prepares to fight Callie street style, but Callie responds by saying she only wanted to talk, so she leaves. Later, Izzie tries to talk to Callie but Callie tells her not to come looking for forgiveness from her. Derek propositions Grey by telling her he wants to take her away for 2 days on a bit of a vacation. Tension rises with Meredith when she realizes that Derek seems to be getting to know Lexie and might even start to be friends with her. Yang tries to step in but Derek keeps coming to Lexie's defense and overriding Yang's decisions. I personally think Derek is stepping out of line and interfering where he shouldn't be. Does he honestly think if he get's close to Lexie that Meredith will want to get back with him or something? The chief's niece Camille gets brought in by Adele and we find out there's a mass in her throat so big that Camille couldn't breathe. We find out the cancer is back and Adele begs Richard to talk their niece into doing everything she can to survive. Richard had to make the hard decision of being her doctor rather than her uncle by respecting her wishes when she told him she didn't want to fight anymore and just wanted to go home. Adele was not very happy with this, and that might be it for him trying to save his marraige. A young football player comes into the hospital with his father/coach and we find out he's paralyzed. His father is so harsh and pushes the boy so hard that the kid breaks down and tells them to make his father leave. The boy needs to have his spine pulled back in place or he might not ever walk again. Lexie made a mistake here by touching his hand while trying to calm him, which could've moved him and screwed everything up. Yang threw her out but Derek stepped in again. A young woman comes into the hospital and reports that she fell off her stairmaster while reading, but her foot is almost completely blue. After finding out that the woman's boyfriend agreed to move in with her only if she got back down to the size he wanted, we realize that she has basically been starving herself. After the woman starts vomiting up a lot of blood we find out she has a very bad bleeding ulcer, which ultimately resulted in her death. Callie freaks out on the boyfriend and Bailey confronts her, telling her she almost lost her career. We also find out that Callie obviously doesn't forgive George. I think part of it is because he really doesn't want to be forgiven yet either. Alex finds out that Izzie slept with George and tells her that he is embarassed for her. I actually think he might be a little bit jealous since he told Izzie that she told him she wasn't ready after Denny's death, and the first guy she sleeps with is George. However, when Izzie is crying at the end of the episode Alex hands her a box of tissues and askes her to keep it down. Could this be a tiny glimpse of compassion? Izzie also brought up Jane Doe in this episode to throw back in Alex's face when she was telling him not to judge her. Derek tells Meredith that this might not be the best weekend to get away, and she gets a little annoyed that he and Lexie have been talking about her. When Grey asks what they talk about Derek told her all the things she was afraid to hear, such as that he wants to marry her, have kids with her, build a house and die old together. He says he'll wait for her, but basically lets her know that it might not be forever. This actually sparked me to wonder even more if we are going to see something happen between Derek and Lexie? Another great episode.
The plot's alright but i miss Burke hide show
Derek asks Meredith to go with him for a weekend to the country where they can have a 48 hour long hot wild sex lol. She agrees so she has to find someone to cover for her. She asks Alex who says that in exchange she has to take Norma for the day. Norman is the old intern guy who gets too emotional and says to woman that she's gonna die while really he swapped the charts by mistake and before he could correct it the woman had already quit her job and her boyfriend and bought a ticket to Iceland with no coming back. meredith gets in biiig trouble.
A teen football player gets his spine ripped with the helmet on and his dad, who is his coach doesn't stop talking about how he she had dodged that block and makes his neurves into ruins.
Chief Webber's niece had cancer on her chest and it's so big she can't breath. She decides that she doesn't want any treatment and that she wants to spend the rest of the life she's got at home and with her friends.
Callie says she forgives George for sleeping with Izzy but she asks Izzy to meet her at the cafeteria at noon. Izzy thought that she would put up a fight and gets ready for it but when Callie says that she only wanted to talk she felt that the earth was leaving under her legs.
Izzy also tells Alex that she slept with George and he's angry because he told him that she want't ready after her break up with Dannie. At the end of this episode Callie tells George that she didn't really forgive him.
Several really funny storylines with a few serious things going on at the same time hide show
The storyline between George, Izzie, and Callie was really entertaining. I loved how George went running through the halls and then Izzie got all prepared to fight Callie. Watching her get ready for the fight and convince herself she could take Callie was really funny. I also loved Alex's envolvement in the episode. I like how they finally hinted at Alex and Izzie as a couple. I really liked how they decided to make him react to the news and it was sweet how he gave her tissues. The storyline with Meredith, Derek, Lexie, and Christina was also cute. It was fun to see Derek and Lexie bonding while Meredith got all upset over it.I also enjoyed watching Derek make Christina's life miserable because of the way she treated the interns. It was really romantic when Derek explained how he felt about Meredith. Meredith and Norman telling someone with no chance of dieing that they were going to die, was also pretty funny. The Camielle storyline was really good. It was good to see what is going on with her, although it is really sad. It was interesting how Richard and Adele reacted to it. I liked how the cheif did the right thing instead of just trying to please Adele.
No matter how hard you try you are going to hurt people, and you will get hurt. hide show
Another great installment.
Callie forgave George for sleeping with Izzie and George can't find Izzie in the hospital the next day to tell her that. Unfortunately Callie finds Izzie before him and tells her to meet her in the caffeteria alone. The gossip spreads and everyone in the hospital thinks that Izzie and Callie are going to fight for George and Izzie takes that seriously but Callie just wanted to talk. Meredith is being a resident to Norman and she tells him to focus on the medicine and to leave everything else behind. Lexie gets cosy with Derek and Cristina is hating it while Alex is pissed off that Izzie chose George over him. Can't wait for the next episode...
