As you can see, I'm taking over our dear Grey's recap. I'm thrilled and honored, as Grey's is one of my favorite shows. First and foremost, my sincerest apologies for the delay this week Gasmii. I assure you it will be the last. Now that the formalities are out of the way, let's delve into the recap shall we?

Dr. Bailey narrates our intro as she tells us about God creating women and men, and leads us into a long dialogue about faith. I'm figuring Shonda Rhimes worked this little narration bit into her contract in exchange for overly-thanking producers when she undoubtedly wins an emmy for this episode. Touché Dr. Bailey. Well played indeed.

We open with McDreamy and McSteamy taking what appears to be an aimless hike up a muddy hill while McSteamy bitches that his three hundred dollars shoes are being ruined. Last time I checked Steamy, you boned Dreamy's wife and ruined his marriage. By my calculations, at this point you're still ahead in the Who's A Worse Friend Competition. New shoes require a trip to the store. For a new wife, you have to go all the way back to the point where you pretend that you like fancy dinners and don't care who holds the remote.

Off the bat, I'm wondering if this walk is supposed to be their form of exercise. I can't speak for everyone, but personally I think that the more ideal visual of these two in an exercise Mcduo would be Steamy shirtless on a bench press with rain falling down on top of him, while Dreamy holds flowers and spots him, but whatever, why complain? At least there's a new episode this week right? In the end it turns out the hike is just a little bonding over where Dreamy wants to build his new house with Meredith.

Three-ways aren't normally my thing, but...

In what I like to call the Frat House, Meredith decides to cook breakfast for everyone while Dreamy tells her about the house on Worse Friend Hill he's planning on building for them. Aside from lacking a good physical grasp on eggs, Meredith is apparently a terrible cook, to the point that you can tell just by the smell that it's inedible.

Lexie, just happy Meredith is finally warming up to her, decides she has to eat the terrible eggs anyway, out of some sense of half-sibling duty. Ironically, it's probably the same sense of half-sibling duty that inspired Meredith to cook them in the first place. I need a refresher on math, but don't those two cancel each other out or something? Anyway, I disagree with the idea of sibling duty to begin with, but even if I agreed I'd still make the argument Lexie only had to eat half.

The three-week hiatus has apparently not stopped the tension over at the Bailey household. Big Tucker's still feeling underappreciated and abandoned. I find it kind of hard to sympathize with Big Tucker. Not that I don't think Miranda should be paying attention to her family, it's just that Tucker seems to be a little whiney about it. You know if this was a woman she'd get the old, "I bust my hump all day at work to provide for this family, and all you do is complain" speech from her husband, so what should it be any different for Big Tucker? Pour the kid his Cheerios and stop bitching already.

Meanwhile, there has to be a statistic out there regarding the number of unhappy spouses of surgeons. My guess would be that three out of four spouses of surgeons feel neglected and abandoned and the last one is too distracted by all the extramarital affairs to feel anything but resentful. Tucker baby, take neglected and be happy.

Back in Seattle Grace, Mrs. O'Malley comes to the hospital to bring baby clothes she knitted for Callie and George, since they're "trying". Trying huh? "Trying" is more suitable for describing ABC pretending Callie and George make a believable couple. I mean, come on...her name would have been Callie O'Malley for crying out loud. Callie O'Malley. Are you kidding me? Did the inevitable dissolution of soon to be Mrs. Julia Gulia in The Wedding Singer teach us nothing?
