    This could have been a much better episode. It was good, dont get me wrong, its just they could've done so much more with it. However, i did really love the scene where Bailey (Chandra Wilson) was watching the surgery and the cieling was going to come down, and she was banging on the glass to get their attention, i thought Chandra did a great job. I also loved that Erica (Brooke Smith) and Alex (Justin Chambers) covered up the patient, it was nice. I really liked the idea of Derek (Patrick Dempsey) trying to kick Alex and Izzie (Katherine Heigel) out of the House was a good idea, and i liked it, especially that Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) defended her friends.moreless

    This was another great episode for what looks like a brilliant new season of Grey's Anatomy!!!

    The chief really annoyed me in this episode as he kept going on about all the things people were doing wrong even though it was his fault that the flood got so bad!!
    Speaking of th flood: that was a really good idea and it made the episode very exciting!!
    I was glad to see Meredith's shrink again as i feared after last episode that she would be gone for this season but it looks like Mer will just continue to get better and better!! I also loved when Christina came to talk to her about Meredith and she said that it must be hard for Christina to lose Meredith to Derek. You could see on her face that that was the reason why she said Mer and Der wouldn't work! Very interesting!!
    I also loved how we can see the whole Alex/Izzie thing coming back up again. It'll be interesting to see hoe that develops!!!
    Also Calle & Hahn, i'm really looking forward to see that develop more!!
    Poor George was finding it so hard to retake his exam!! I'm not sure what i think about Lexie's infatuation with him. I think Mark is right, she is a bit pathetic!
    Finally i have to talk about my favourite couple - Meredith and Derek!! The whole Derek trying to move the roommates out was very interesting and him trying to get Christina onside was funny. But i just loved the end when Meredith came home and told him that they weren't moving out and that he can't ambush her and stuff. He just said ok and it was so cute when Meredith said "So you still love me?" and he was just like "Yes". And the hug!!! That was such an adorable scene!! I'm seriously loving MerDer in season 5!!

    I'm looking forward to see how all these things develop in the season!!moreless

  • The flood was interesting but not enough to base the whole episode around it. There were some good parts of the episode though.

    It was funny how Bailey turned out to be right and had to walk off without gloating. I loved the moments between Alex and Izzie in this episode. It was really cool how it seemed like the one patient was unlucky but the damage the flood caused ended up saving his life. The apartment shopping was interesting and it was funny how Christina thought it was for her and Callie. I love Callie and Hahn together, and I'm looking foreward to future storylines with them. One of the main problems I had with this episode was that Meredith continued to doubt her perfect relationship. Hopefully the cancer patient put it in perspective for her. It had good parts but there wasn't that much going on outside of the flood.moreless

  • Shonda's perfect week.

    "Perfect"
    By sequoa84, Aug 25, 2010 Report Abuse
    As my summary says, beyond doubt this was Shonda's perfect week of medical drama. Private Practice exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds, and this episode of Grey's was simply too perfect to find any flaws. An exceptional performance from all the cast members has added a lot of intensity to this episode. The good side of Alex has been given a fair share of screen time. I hate to admit this, but I liked Izzy this episode. Set against the background of a pipeline leak on the surgical floor of Seattle Grace, this episode portrays how certain adverse events can impact and bring good things into the lives of people. The situation also helps the characters realize the meaning of life. Meredith realizes life can't be perfect from a terminal patient Shelly. Alex helps a depressed patient realize life is too short to be pissed off all the time. Christina realizes from her unexpected conversation with Meredith's shrink that she is too scared of losing Meredith to Derek. As another parallel plot, Callie and Erica take their time to realize the meaning of their same-sex relationship. The writers have also shed more focus on the Lexie-Sloan relationship, when Lexie makes an impressive diagnosis and Sloan appreciates her for that.

    As long as the cast and crew continue to invest a lot on the quality of the series, Grey's is only bound to get better. Final word: A great 5th season so far.moreless

    In this episode of Greys Anatomy the following happens. Derek wants to know when Meredith's roommates are going to move out. We learn that 1st, 2nd and 3rd year interns are no longer allowed to stick to one type of surgery. In this episode George re-sits his intern exam. The hospital has a flood which is very funny. The Chief yet again seems to be in a bad mood. We met a man who has had a headache for 7 years, only to discover that it is an inflamed nerve in side of his nose. As a patient lies open on the table, the ceiling collapses due to the water and soon there is water everywhere. Christina goes to see Meredith's shrink after she learns that she has stopped going. Christina and Callie find a new apartment, with the help of Izzie. Meredith tells Derek, that Christina, Alex, Izzie and him are her family and she won't be kicking them out.moreless

And you definatly don't get to try to get Cristina on your side. They're my family. They're who I have. You and them. Derek: Okay? Meredith: Okay? Derek: I'd like to talk about it again. But when you're ready. But for now... Okay. Meredith: So you still love me? Derek: Meredith... Yes. Edit
    • Meredith: Hey, are you okay? Izzie: You know, I'm happy for you. I am. I'm really happy for you and Derek and that you guys are moving foward, I'm ... I don't know how it happened, that I don't have anyone, but... I don't have anyone. Meredith (sits down next to her): That's not true, Iz. That's not true. Edit
    • Lexie: George, George, how'd it go? George (sits down and puts his head on the table): I- I just there was a water problem and I helped the Chief and now all the medical facts are falling out of my head and on the floor. Lexie: Eat this. It's brain food. (sticks her fork out, with an apple on it to him, he eats it) Alex (sits down): My dude with the aneurism fell on from the water smacked his head and got stuck in the CT machine. Meredith: My patient's dying. I hate it when I like them and they're dying. Lexie: Our guy's been living in pain for seven years, constant pain at an eight because of an inflammed nerve in his nose. That's crazy. George (sulking): I wish that I had an inflammed nerve in my nose. Cristina: There's no way that guy has been living at an eight. He's a wimp. His eight? My three. I can take pain. Meredith: You can't talk to my boyfriend for 10 minutes. Cristina: Well there's pain and then there's torture. Seriously. I can take pain. Test me. (she sticks out her wrist and Alex slaps it) See? Nothing. Alex: That's impressive. George: Shut up. You barely touched her. (Alex picks up George's arm and slaps it) Ow! (Alex moves to hit Meredith's arm, she protests and laughs, Alex slaps her arm) Meredith: Ow. Cristina: Um, how did you diagnose that nevre? Because I've never even heard of that condition before. Lexie: Uh, I remembered an article from the British Journal of ENTs, and it was issue number 47, page 19, from 1964. ... I've got a photographic memory. Alex: Dude, a Lexipedia. George: I hate you. Lexie: Don't hate me. I can help you. Edit
