    Izzie gets to return to work after being cleared by the legal department, but on the stipulation that she is Bailey's intern again. Bailey tells Izzie the only thing she is allowed to do is observe. Izzie has to shadow Meredith. They get a case of a victim that burned her hand while trying to prepare for the BAR exams. Turns out the patient has failed it five times and burned herself on purpous to get out of taken the exam again. Cristina seems like she's running the place and her friends don't like it. I thought George's comment about "who does she think she is, Bailey?" was hilarious. I also thought Alex's crack "maybe i should sleep with Burke" was funny as well. I love Cristina but she's being bi*chy to all of her friends, and that's just not right. Also Cristina takes Bailey's name off the board for scrubbing in with Burke. I didn't agree with that. I know she's trying to keep Burke's secret, but it really hurt Bailey's feelings, because now she thinks Burke is one of the people who doubts her judgement. When she confronted him about who took her name off the board, he lied to her. I felt bad for her. (Also last episode we heard her tell a story to a cancer patient about how she sometimes feels towards her baby. I wonder if that was the truth.) Meanwhile Derek's sister shows up. I thought Izzie's comment was funny. "McDreamy's sister is McBit*hy). That was great. So, how long are Derek and Meredith going to do this runaround thing? Either hook up or move on. Alex finds out about Mark and Callie sleeping together. George tries to talk to Callie, and she thinks he's calling her a pig. cute. Later she makes it clear to George that he needs to make up his mind and be sure what he wants before they can get back together. Will she tell George about sleeping with Mark? Will Alex get to it first? Alex seems to be doing great in Addison's program. Mark is being a jerk about Alex's potential in the future of plastics, which i think Alex is unsure of at this point. Addison and George work on a case together of a woman that has two uteruses and is pregnent with twins. We later find out one baby is six weeks older than the other. Apparently she slept with someone when she and her partner were broken up. I thought this was interesting. I didn't know this was even possible. Another great installment to the show.moreless

    This was a very interesting and unique episode. I had no idea that it was possible for a woman to have two uteruses. In this episode a woman with two uteruses is having two babies, but their due dates are six weeks apart. How amazing is that. Dr. Derek Shepherd helps the Chief sew a button on his shirt using the surgery technique. ha ha A woman purposely burns her hand so that she doesn't have to take the bar exam, which she believes that she will fail again. And it's Izzy Stevens first day back to work after the death of her fiancee, Denny.moreless

  • When pushed to the edge, 'Grey' serves it up nicely; ham, eggs, and all

    This episode was outstanding, and if you were distracted by the lame Fox attempt to sway 'Grey's rating by tuning into the OC, then you my friend missed a diamond. First of all, let it be said that as far as I am concerned all the women in Shepard's life are awesome. His sister (McB**chy)is just what the doctor ordered, and yes that was a pun. Nancy really seemed to help Derek sort some things out and she introduced us to who I can only assume are the next two Shepherd family members, momma Shepherd and Kathleen. Back to the doctors, I love the little role playing George and Meredith did to comfort each other. It was classic 'Grey'. Christina is obviously gone too power crazy and I cant wait for Bailey to snap her back into place, especially since Bailey is obviously taking this doubt against her to heart, and for good reason.. I am kind of sad at how Burke is just letting this get out of hand. Izzy still can't seem to take orders, but if you're really committed then sometimes you have to break the rules. On to the patients. You can always count on this show to give you good drama. Not only was the woman pregnant with twins, no she had to be pregnant, with two uteruses, and have a different father for each child, who by the way are 6 weeks apart. That's good TV. I also love that whole eggs and ham metaphor, especially since it led to George calling Callie a pig. All I have to say is this show really makes you wanna watch, and if you're tempted to look at other shows, ask yourself a question. Are you eggs, or ham?moreless

  • Why does everyone keep pushing Mcdreamy away from Meredith?

    By starrysky225, Jul 14, 2010 Report Abuse
    OMG! i am so sick and tired of everyone giving Derek advice and it being negative about him and Meredith! Why can't they just be together? He said it himself, he wants them to work! so then why in the previews does it show her out to dinner with Mcsteamy? This episode was soo good! but i absolutely hate dereks sister nancy! she called meredith a slut like 100 times! she needs to back down,and i'm glad derek defended Meredith, dang right! But might i add that getting to see Mcdreamy with his shirt off straight outta the shower was amazing <3! and George and Mer pretending to be christina and izzie for each other in the elevator! so cute! "mcdreamy was doing the mcnasty with mchottie? what a mcbastard!"moreless

  • Filler episode really though

    I'm not quite sure what they were going for. It was a little all over the place. Apparently commitment was the theme- it was pushed at us from the start- but then it became about dysfunctional relationships and how they hurt other people. Christina is pregnant or crazy, or something. She needs to take a chill pill and Burke needs to take responsibility for his own actions before someone catches on to their scheme. SOMEONE has to think it is quite weird that she scrubs in on every single surgery he has and gets to write and- oh my god!- erase the OR board. The chief is going to get suspicious and look into it. This whole haze he's in because his wife left him isn't going to last for long and things are going to get even more awkward and uncomfortable on Grey's. The writers are keeping the McDreamy/Meredith thing simmering for a while, but if they keep holding out, it's just going to go bad and people are going to forget what it was like to actually see them together. Not enough drama though, a little tame by GA standards.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Goof: When Bailey sees that Burke is having a Humpty Dumpty surgery, she writes her name on the OR board in big letters under Burke's but when Cristina erases it, it wasn't like how Bailey wrote it. Every other name on the board was written as is. Edit
    • Goof: When Mark hands his cell phone to Alex he says he's on hold with the DMV. However, when George comes up afterwards Alex starts to dial a number - surely he was already connected? Edit
    • The condition of the pregnant woman is called uterine didelphys. There are about 13 cases in the world were women are expecting twins that have due dates that are weeks apart, thus made in the 2 seperate uterus. [Source]http://www.medhelp.org/[Source] Edit

    • Derek: That's not gonna stay on… you're givin' it too much slack. Richard (trying to sew on his button): You're blocking my light. Derek: Think of it as a basic corner stitch. Richard: I can figure out how to sew on my own buttons, thank you. I am a surgeon. Derek: Right. Richard: Oh, for God's sake! You sew this on for me, and I get rid of Addison and Sloan. Derek: Really? Richard: No. Derek: That's fine. I'll do it anyway. Richard: So, I hear that you got a sister wanderin' the halls, is she plannin' on movin' here too? Derek: God, I hope not. Richard: Derek, I know it's been hard on you. Derek: He was like my brother. I have four sisters. Four very... annoying sisters. Mark was my brother, it's hard. Richard: Divorce isn't all it's cracked up to be, huh? Derek: I just want it to be easy. I just want it to be over and move on but... Richard: You're in a surprising amount of pain. Derek: You and Adele? Richard: I'm sewing on a button for the first time in my life. What does that tell you? Derek: Technically, I'm sewing. (Richard gives him a look, he laughs) I'm just sayin'. Edit
    • Nancy: So, tell me about the slutty girl. (Derek gives her a look) Fine, the slutty intern. Derek: It was the 'slutty' part I had a problem with. Nancy: Kathleen says she's not even single. Derek: She is single, she is smart and she's a lot of things. And she's none of your business. Nancy: Wow. I've never seen you like this over a girl before. Not even Addison. Derek: I've never been like this over a girl before, especially Addison. Nancy: Oh, don't be bitter. I mean shame on Addison and all that. I mean, he's Mark, Derek, what'd you expect? He's just Mark. And who hasn't gone there once or twice, right? Derek: What'd you just say? Nancy: Everybody sleeps with Mark, it's like a right of passage. Derek I get it. I get that they made a terrible mistake. Derek: It wasn't a mistake, Nance, it wasn't a mistake, okay? It was wasn't one night. It was months. Did you know about that? Nancy: No. I had no idea. Derek: Then shut up about it and eat your lunch. Edit
    • Cristina (to the nurse writing on the OR board): Put Burke in OR two tomorrow at 10am, the usual scrub team. And get rid of his valve replacement at two--that's no good. Doctor (walking up): Yang, I brought you a latte. Cristina (takes the latte): You're not scrubbing in. Doctor: But Burke always lets me scrub in. Doctor 2 (walks up): Hey, Yang, can I get in on Burke's--- Cristina: No. No. Okay, no residents. So go away. (they leave, Cristina walks over to the nurse) Make sure you put the instrument tray on his left hand side, he needs the extra elbow room, okay? Nurse: Dr. Burke has become very specific since coming back, hasn't he? Cristina: Do you want me to tell him that you said that? George (they are looking on from the top of the stairs): Burke's back and suddenly Cristina's running his board? Who does she think she is? Bailey? Meredith: She's helping him. Alex: Bull. She's taking advantage. She gets out of rounds. She scrubs in on every surgery Burke does. She's ordering around 3rd year residents. Meredith: You guys are overreacting. Cristina (to the nurse): I'm so sorry. It's completely illegible. I'm gonna like--- why don't you just write it properly? Can you please give me a minute? George: She's writing on the OR board. Alex: Maybe I should sleep with Burke. Edit
