    This was such a perfect episode. I love when they move away from the all the medical cases and the hospital and they just do relationships. April owned this episode and her scenes were priceless, especially the bar fight. But the biggest surprise came when she slept with Jackson.



    Talking about sex - I was more than happy for Richard to sleep with Catherine, he deserves to be happy after all those years and poor Adele's Alzheimer's. Meredith got the stomach flu from Zola and she and Cristina shared some great moments at the hotel. But the the shocker came at the end when Alex didn't show up for the boards. WTF?



    All in all - perfect episode and Grey's at it's best - dealing with relationships. 10/10moreless
