  • It was not that great compared to other fantastic episodes this season

    This episode was not that good. I absolutely love Grey's no matter what, but this episode was a bit of a disappointment by the standards set by this show.
    The Addison and Alex relationship would be very interesting. They're both cocky and proud, I think they'd be good together.
    This episode also seems predictable. It was somewhat obvious that Izzie was going to use her money to pay for Heather's surgery, even though she's not cleared for surgery yet. I felt bad when she cashed the check though, because she really loved Denny, and she obviously didn't want to cash it in.moreless

    I thought callie was great with the staring... and george and her were pretty good in the episode.
    I loved dr. bailey description of Derek " Lots of hair, too many women, likes elevators and log walks on the beach"
    and the 130cc of shiny yellow urine ending up with a dance a a kiss.

    Meredith running away from his father is getting old.
    we need a close up for this 2, i don't need a happy ending, just a end.
    George is very good, he's not just the loud complainer anymore, he's more receptive.
    When I knew that there was going to have a 2 part episode I imagine a more deep in your heart episode

    but the episode ended up opening a lot of histories and a closing up some old stories.moreless

    Well, this was a great episode. Again, Thatcher or daddy issues arrive. Addison was in a strange mood, and Mark too. But I liked Addison and Alex almost hooking up. Other things that I liked: that finally Izzie found a good thing to do, reason enough to deposit the check. Again, Izzie is getting involved emotionally. Cristina and Burke not talking to each other was really funny to watch.
    But that was the first part of the episode, the first half an hour, then the show had a change of pace, with the surgery, and got serious and touching at the same time. Poor George, really.
    The best was this combination between those two elements.
    It's the beginnig of a series of episodes getting better and better, let's say 8 great episodes.moreless

    In the beginning of this episode i was highly annoyed with Izzie. I thought she was stupid for still not having deposited her money yet, as did Bailey. So Bailey basically tells Izzie that she won't be scrubbing in until she meets the stipulations set by her psychiatrist, one condition being to deposite the money. Izzie finally takes it to the bank in tears...I thought this scene was hilarious, especially when she snapped at the bank teller. So the hospital gets a case of a seventeen year old girl with Vader syndrome, which has her back twisted in ways i couldn't even imagine. I thought my back was bad, but i feel sorry for this girl. When her mother was yelling at the insurance company on the phone, i thought it was funny when she called them "son of a b**ch ba**ards" and told them they were going to burn in hell. I have a very strong feeling that Izzie will pay for the girl's surgery, hospital stay and rehab. I could tell just by the way she was looking at her. Grey is shook up about having to see her father wandering around the hospital. About Grey...I thought it was hilarious when she found out Derek can't sleep because of her snoring. The reason i think it's so funny (which really it isn't when you can't sleep), is because i had an ex that snored horrendously. It was so loud that i actually wanted to smother her with a pillow. I got up and went in the other room to sleep before, and could still hear her plain as day, it was horrible. That was not the reason we broke up either lol. I thought Grey's retaliation about Derek's morning breath was funny. Although at the end of the episode, apparently her nose strips are not helping her snoring. You know, that can actually be a sign of sleep apnea also. So George's father's cancer is worse than i thought. However, he still insists that they take the tumor out. I thought it was hilarious when George was dancing around with Callie about his father's urine...Then he kissed her. I wonder what this means for those two? Personally i'd like to see them back together. Well Alex basically gave up his future in plastics because he didn't like the fact that Mark was rude to Addison. I thought Alex was partial to Addison because of her department and his soft spot for it, but after seeing this episode and those two almost kissing, i guess they have a little more of a bond than i thought. I wonder what will happen with those two in the future.moreless

    First three days of six days. We actually see how our doctors spend the week. Cristinas and Burkes relationship goes to the new dimension. They care about each other but they are not talking to each other. Harlod makes a decision that will probably kill him but he is a fighter. A girl with VATER comes to the hospital. Her life is a mess and Izzie deposits the check. Laura Molly's baby causes trouble to Meredith because her father is now at the hospital and she simply can't function with him around.
    Mark and Addison have something this week . . .moreless

    • Cristina: My step-father, he's nice, I see him for Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is the Jewish day of repentance, considered to be one of the holiest and most solemn days of the year. Edit
    • After two years of her on-and-off relationship with Derek, Meredith finally realizes, in this episode, that due to her snoring, Derek has been slipping out of bed right after she falls asleep, sleeping somewhere else all night, and setting an alarm to get back into bed with her right before she wakes up, so she'll never know he was gone. The audience is expected to believe, then, that Meredith has never woken up in the middle of the night for two years and, as a result, has never noticed that Derek wasn't there. That is a bit of a stretch. Even the deepest sleepers wake up sometimes. Edit
    • Goof: When Meredith first finds Derek in George's bed, the blankets are covering his legs. In the next shot, however, a few seconds later, his feet and lower legs are completely visible. Edit
