We then meet our incoming traumas. Ugh, I kind of liked the first hour where we could just focus on the main story lines and not deal with the patient stories that symbolized what was going on in the lives of the Doctors, thus helping them figure out their problems. But, here we are. We have a guy hit buy a bus who is covered in blood and bandages and an annoying girl asking desperately how he is.
In the ER, the doctors begin to frantically treat him. Per usual, the annoying girl patient roams into the operating room to see how he is. Is this normal? On Grey's people just roan in and out of people's treatments all the time? Surely there is a way to keep them out like, I dunno....a door? She is terrified because he is all alone and they can't even identify him. She also feels awful because her dumbass was about to be hit by a bus and he jumped in front of her saving her, but then literally got thrown under the bus. I mean, if Regina George can bounce back, this guy can. But when they remove the gauze his skull is bashed in and he just looks awful. Annoying girl throws up on the floor, in his room, because they didn't close the door.
In Izzie's room, Derek is checking her out and she asks if he got the tumor out. He confirms that he got the whole thing out and she is so excited. Not only is the tumor out, but she can talk and she knows who everyone is and she knows where she is. They all begin to celebrate the surgery's success. A few minutes later Izzie asks if the tumor is out prompting the ominous music to start. They relive the entire conversation, reminding her that they just discussed this. Then Izzie asks if he got the tumor out, and ominous music reaches an alarming level and Karev shoots Shepherd a murderous look like it's Derek's fault that Izzie's memory is shot.

But, did you get the tumor out and does anyone have an episode of Groundhog's Day that I could borrow?
In John Doe's room all the doctors are assembling to see what happens when man faces bus, it isn't pretty. The guy is a complete mess and bleeding and crashing all over the place. There is a lot of drilling noises and at one point Grey puts a drill to the guys skull creating vomit inducing noises. But whatever she was doing worked because the guy comes too and Grey welcomes him back. I'd rather stay unconscious then listen to the sound of my skull being drilled.
Lexie is putting stitches on the annoying girl who caused the accident when Sloan comes up and criticizes her stitches and tells her to start over. I would literally throw up if I was this girl, its one thing to watch yourself be stitched up once, but twice? I would have to be knocked out. Lexie takes it in stride and asks if she can talk to Sloan privately, then walks about four steps away from the patient to discuss their relationship. The professionalism is overwhelming sometimes. Lexie apologizes that Sloan thinks she has all the power but she is totally willing to share it with him. Just because she didn't want to move in with him doesn't mean she is controlling the entire relationship.
After this display of work ethic, Sloan takes over the stiches with the patient who admits she heard the whole thing and calls Sloan the girl in their relationship. Being a hot slutty Doctor, he isn't used to being the girl. Usually he is the one who people want to move in with and he says no, not the other way around. The annoying girl gives him advice on what to do in this situation, pearls of relationship wisdom such as: give the cold shoulder, act aloof, bitch to your friends...basically all things that create a healthy relationship.

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 :(
