    this week's episode was really touching. well done
  • It's time to embrace a new era

    8.0
    The aftermath between Seattle Grace and those lawyers has passed, and now we saw a little more comedy then usual. But the big massage here was the Meredith's first flying and Derek's first surgery. I really didn't care too much on Arizona's problem. It was interesting, but I think nothing caught me by surprise. Overall, it was a nice episode, but below average.

  • TRIVIA (0)

  • QUOTES (5)

    • Meredith: (closing voiceover) The body can be stubborn when it comes to accepting change. The mind holds out hope that the body can be whole again. And the mind will always fight for hope, tooth and nail, until it finds a way of understanding this new reality and accepts that what is gone is gone forever.

    • Derek: (To Alana) This is ridiculous. You can't close the E.R. You went to med school. You have to ask yourself--
      Bailey: Do you have a better idea? Because the way I see it, this woman is trying to keep the hospital from closing, in-in which case there'd be no patients, we'd have no jobs, and some of us don't have a few million to fall back on. So unless you have a better idea, why don't you just sit there and listen to what she has to say?

    • Matthew: Ah, sorry to interrupt.
      April: Do you need something?
      Matthew: Kinda. I've been watching you for two days. You don't seem to slow down. I thought you might need a break. Maybe grab a cup of coffee? Probably shouldn't have started with the whole "watching you" thing, huh? Now you think I'm some sort of creeper. I'm not. Unless you're inclined to have coffee with creepers, in which case, I totally creep, like, all the time.

    • Cristina: African babies are a godsend.
      Meredith: You don't have to tell me.
      Cristina: Oh, not Zola. Not the cute ones. The sick ones. They're exotically diseased, beautiful little train wrecks. I just found a case of E.M.F., and I get to do an endocardial stripping of the left ventricle. Do you know how many other people have done that?
      Meredith: No.
      Cristina: Me neither. (cheery) It's unheard of.

    • Meredith: (opening voiceover) Patients who undergo an amputation often feel sensation where the missing limb was, as if it's still there. The syndrome is called phantom limb. It's as if the body can't accept that a terrible trauma has occurred. The mind is trying to make the body complete again. Patients who experience phantom limb report many different sensations. But by far, the most common is pain.
