The three doctors fight it out in the hall as the Major doesn't understand why Torres is completely against cutting off a perfectly viable limb. Ten bucks says that if this was a girl who had constant pain who wanted a prosthetic limb the Major would fight against it every step of the way, but since it is someone from the military he's all for it. Hypocrisy in fictional people makes me crazy.
Arizona finds Bailey and tells her that she has a child patient who is going to live and wants Bailey to join her for the surgery. Mainly she wants to prove that being a pediatric surgeon isn't just laying with dying kids all day. The Chief walks by and asks Bailey to join him for a few minutes. He takes her down to see the newest equipment he got called the DaVinci system and asks her if she wants to take it for a spin. Bailey acts like a kid in a toy store who just learned she could have whatever she wants.
Sloan finds Lexie and tells her that since Mer and Der are getting married, they might not want two shackers living in their attic anymore so he's thinking about getting a condo. How does Sloan not have his own place? He's been living in a hotel for like....2 years? Who is he Dylan McKay? Weird crossover though, as in real life Sloan is married to Dylan's 90210 wife. Anyways, it seems very strange to me that Sloan still doesn't have his own place, but yes I do agree that it is time for you to get out of the fraternity house attic.
He tries to subtly ask Lexie to move in with him, but she completely doesn't catch his drift and walks off. Derek, who heard the whole thing, judgmentally tells Sloan that it's way too soon for them, and that Sloan should stop trying to copy everything Derek does. What just because he screwed and fell in love with Addison, then moved to Seattle, then hooked up with a Grey....hmm. Well at least he didn't move into a trailer.
Derek meets with Lexie, Alex, Yang and Cancer bitch to tell him the procedure he came up with to remove Izzie's tumor. Cancer bitch is against the idea as she thinks it could destroy Izzie's memory forever. She thinks they should just shrink it with normal treatment. The problem with that is, that the tumor could kill her before that may or may not work. How ironic though would it be, that after this horrible season Izzie's character loses her memory, when all of us are stuck forever with the awful memory that was this season and the Denny-ness of it. Just as I'm thinking this, the final remaining position that Grey's had still on the shark, jumped.
Izzie begins to doze off while the doctors argue about her treatment. All of a sudden, we are treated to Izzie with a head full of hair sitting on the most ridiculous CGS beach I've ever seen. I've seen high school plays with better sets than this. The camera pans out to show her talking to Denny. Oh good, I was worried that this scene wouldn't be able to get lamer. They discuss the kids she hopes to have with Alex one day and Denny agrees with her thoughts. She finally asks him why he keeps agreeing with her, and he reminds her that it is because he is her. He is her tumor. And he is the bane of my existence. How these actors even get through this scene without yelling, "C'MON!" at the directors is beyond me.
The abysmal economy hit some shows harder than others.
After the ridiculous dream sequence Izzie asks Karev, Yang and Grey to decide what she should do because she doesn't want to make the decision. They all refuse to decide whether to die or lose her memory. I have a lot I'd like to forget about my past, and if it's between that and dying....seems like kind of an easy decision. Haven't you seen 50 first dates?
Speaking of freakishly easy decisions, the Lt. is talking to the Major and George about either keeping his leg and not going back to the war, or having his leg amputated and going back to war. What to do.....what to do?? The Lt. is adamant on going back to the war though because that is where his family is. He doesn't belong in the civilian world anymore, he belongs with his brothers in Iraq. Somewhere from a ranch in Texas someone just shouted "I KNEW IT!!"

I loved the episode! I was so shocked when that turned out to be George!! And he did indeed look HOT in the Army uniform!!
Oh, and they called him 007, because he had lost some patients (season 1 or 2) and the others were teasing him that he was like 007 because he had a "license to kill"...
Great recap!!

I gasped out loud too when George wrote 007. Definitely SMOKIN! in that uniform. Yummy.

I keep thinking that if T.R.Knight wants out of the show, they could still have George but with another actor (like, Tobey Maguire, perhaps? Same build, height, similar face & voice), because with the disfigurement's requirement for plastic surgery, it'd be believable.

I heard that TR Knight is indeed leaving, so I imagine that his character dies. That was the implication, I thought; that he was dead and she had to decide whether to join him.
If she kisses enough ass, she'll probably stay but on a reduced schedule. She is a bankable film star, and she could be in, say, half the episodes as she goes through rehab.
The finale totally rocked. And, one way or another, we've seen the last of Dead Denny!

Maybe the best episode since the first season. Some great surprises. Add me to the list of gaspers (and I seldom get surprised like that. George wlking into the recruiters office was another good surprise.
Thanks for recapping.
I hope you all are doing well - or about to have your own surprise turn for the better!

I read online, right after the finale aired, that Shonda Rimes, the creator of Grey's purposely left George out of most of the season so that we wouldn't notice that he was basically gone for this entire episode. Honestly, I think her plan worked. I was totally shocked. And if that's the case, it sounds like this was in the works all season and that George/TR is really gone :(
