Alex, meanwhile, is picking broken glass out of the young lady from the fish market who just staggered into the hospital. Turns out she's a vegetable seller at one of the stands there, and the elderly couple who ran her over are longtime customers of hers. Because hey, nothing says "Thanks for great customer service" like a hood ornament to the sternum. Anyway, the girl also JUST HAPPENS to be ten weeks pregnant, though fortunately blessed with merely a single-barreled uterus.
Then we meet Mrs. O'Malley, who's at the hospital visiting her husband. This silly ho is a RIOT. Mrs. O'Malley is obsessed with Georgie's romantic and sex life and seems as eager to marry him off as she is horrified/ecstatic at the idea that he might be making sexytime with a lady. When she finds out that Izzie is one of the girls George lives with, Mrs. O'Malley presses her for details, hoping they've had sex. She also is very impressed with Burke, what with George's tendency to talk about Burke 24/7 (in a completely nonsexual way of course).
When Cristina finds out that George called Dr. Hahn in for a consult, she basically shits her silk panties. See, now if she were wearing SACRED MORMON PANTIES this would not be a problem. Seriously, who knew there was sacred Mormon underwear? BUT THERE IS!! Anyway, Dr. Webber goes to meet Dr. Hahn and try to convince her to join the SGH staff. Callie, meanwhile, asks George how his dad is doing. George wonders why she still cares about him so much if she's off sleeping with Sloan. Zing! Callie is angry/baffled as to how George found out about this.
The pregnant girl from the fish market is, frankly, a terrible actress. Please don't bring her back. Anyway, she's delirious and won't shut up about how the fetus's father doesn't know she's pregnant and she wants to keep it that way. Callie butts in angrily demanding to speak with Meredith, but Meredith's mid-chest-tube-insertion so she can't talk. Sloan, meanwhile, insists that Alex dab and clean one of the girl's wounds. Dab and clean! Dab and clean! Cheap and peppy! Mid-dab, the doctors suddenly realize that, duh, there's a GIANT SHARD OF GLASS stuck right in the girl's heart. GREAT.
It turns out the elderly driver of the car has an advanced case of spinal stenosis, which causes numbness in the legs and feet. In short, the guy shouldn't have been driving. When Burke comes over to consult on the patient, Shepherd asks him what's going on with Cristina—she was talking funny in Meredith's bed this morning, and now supposed to be his intern but is nowhere to be found. Burke claims to know of nothing going on. Shepherd is dubious and presses Meredith about what she and Cristina talked about in the morning. Boys? Hairstyles? Lesbianism? No... BANK ROBBERIES!! Shepherd is baffled.
Meredith finds Cristina, who ignores her because she's too busy eavesdropping on Dr. Webber's conversation with Mr. O'Malley. Webber comes out and tells Cristina he needs to speak with Burke as soon as possible—Mr. O'Malley's elected to have Hahn do his surgery instead, and Burke has been replaced. OOH. Burke remains unfazed at this news, despite Cristina nearly tearing her hair out and flinging feces around the room in panic. He rejects Cristina's calls for the two of them to "align their stories," saying he doesn't tell stories, he tells the truth. Oh really, like you've been doing RELIGIOUSLY all autumn. Dumbass.
Izzie, now curious, asks the O'Malleys whether George gave any justification for switching from Dr. Burke to Hahn for the surgery. Mrs. O'Malley's mind apparently is focused SQUARELY ON SEX, so she becomes oddly convinced—like you CANNOT TALK HER OUT OF IT—that George is somehow dating Dr. Hahn. Mrs. O'Malley then demands to know why Callie broke up with George. Izzie unwisely provides too much information about Callie's, well, habit of peeing in public and flinging her tatas around like melons at harvest time, which causes Mrs. O'Malley GREAT CONSTERNATION. Mrs. O'Malley then becomes confused as to why George wants Hahn to do the surgery if Burke is supposd to be the best. Izzie wonders aloud why everyone is acting so strangely. NO SHIT, honey.

M-ruv, you Grey's recaps just make me...happy. They may be the best since B-Side's recaps of Season 2 Laguna Beach...
Glad Burke cut Christina out...she was getting annoying with all of that Lady MacBeth/ambition crap.
And what the hell is Izzie so mad at? George had every right to be pissed at her, and she had no right to open her mouth. If this were "real life," that crazy b*tch would not only be out of a job...she'd be in prison.

m_ruv - you forgot the part when Burke blamed Shepherd for his hand problems while they were in the elevator.
George was annoying this ep. He was acting like a total bitch. I wonder which ep was being filmed when the whole burke/shepherd fight about george happened?

Man that Meredith gray is so fugly. Every week she gets paler, squintier, skinnier, and uglier. It's grotesque.
Torres looks like a dude with a bad wig. and maybe im looking at the wrong woman, but she doesnt look that busty to me. Shes doesnt ahve that much going on up top. How can a chick be that chunky and still have smaller breasts than Marilyn Grey?
Also, the plastic surgeon stud needs to know that beards that don't connect with moustaches just look retarded.
Why can't a big shot brain surgeon afford a razor?
Izzie is gloriously insane. I hate that she’s still allowed in that hospital, I hate that she got mad at George for telling his parents the truth, that she killed a guy. Are we all supposed to forget that she did that? I mean I know the fact that she’s back in the hospitals a writers gimmick because it would never happen in real life, but damn. Also, her wierd teeth keep her from being considered hot.
And watch the same thing happen to the homophobic doctor with his hand. Even though he’d normally be fired and lose his license, it will instead become a 6 episode story arc of redemption so once May rolls around hell be right back where he was before.
Dr. Bailey looks like a bull dog. No joke.
can people have so much angst that their heads explode? THis show can answer that question.
Im sick of the end of episode montages. Stop it. Stop it now.
I still hate Denny and am glad that motherfucker is rotting in the ground.
Adn dont even get me started on how much these "extedned running time" episodes screw with my TiVo scedules.
Ahhh. That felt good....

mama_ruv is the poo, she knows a good episode when she sees one. I liked this one too, tho I thot that may have been from all the wine from turkey dinner, so thanks for clearing stuff up. I second EdHill's comment, especially the Denny/Izzie parts.
what happened to Burke, he used to be one of my faves??!! poor Cristina, does that mean she's stuck out on the couch? should've kept that crappy apt.

Oh man! This was such a great ep......and GREAT recap! I am dyin' over here!
thoughts:
1. I am also tired of Denny this, Denny that. Am I wrong, or did Izzie know him for like a month, and was engaged to him for a day when he died? Get over it!
2. I am also gald the Christina/Burke conspiracy is over with. And gawwwd Christina was annoying in this ep! She WAS going for the Emmy in this one.
3. George's mom thinking every woman in Seattle Grace was hot for him. Kinda werid. Makes me think the writers thought of that gem to make the viewers forget he is gay in real life.
4. One more question, hopefully someone can answer" I LOVE the pic of Meredith's "O" face! But....I just started watching this season...so is she crying, who is she with in the pic? what's going on?!?
5. Yes! Fish market girl...annoying! I hated how damn non-chalant she was, considering she HAD A FREAKING SHARD in her heart!

Great recap, I was so entertained. It seems like Grey's is getting better lately. George finally stood up to his family, made some decisions, and frankly grew a pair. He normally is way too whiney. The Pomp is looking pretty bad, and Addison is looking pretty damn good. I'll be He-shepard may rethink his choice.

First off, that hanging wall decoration in the house? Looks like a huge nipple.
The fish market girl played Francis' wife on Malcolm in the Middle, I believe. When she first uttered "I think I parked in a red zone" I thought "Wow, I don't remember her being such a crappy actress." But, to be fair, that was a really shitty line.
At the end of the episode, I actually thought that Burke might slap Christina :o

Loved the recap, but what's with the overuse of CAPITALIZED WORDS?

anniedawg - the O face is from the episode last season when George and Meredith in a moment of weakness had sex and then Meredith started bawling halfway through. The overacting was truly horrendous. Anyway, the full recap is here: http://www.tvgasm.com/shows/greys-anatomy/just-desserts-1730.php?page=1

George's mom was probably acting that way because she is afraid he is gay. Now that he's come out in real life, his character seems gayer to me. A little whiny, insecure bi-otch.

Wow - kind of not cool to mock the Mormon church like that. Since when is religious intolerance part of this site? That's the kind of humour people use when they just aren't good at being funny.

Great episode and another great recap, m_ruv. All through the episode, it was driving me crazy where I'd seen Dr. Hahn before. I'll give you a hint: "It puts the lotion in the basket!"

awesome recap. it made me excited to watch tonights new episode! though george was such a little bitch last week, which is annoying.
as for the mormon stuff, well i dont view it so much as mockery since it, you know, actually exists.
as for mocking religions, funny how bestsariah doesnt seem to take issue with all the other groups this site mocks from time to time.

"Due to staff cutbacks at ABC's continuity department..."
Ah yes, this is why m-ruv recaps are my favoritest. And are you trying to sneak the Mer O face into each one? Like it.
