This week on Grey's Anatomy, the recapper was SO late with the recap that one might think that the recapper had lost hope in Grey's Anatomy. But fear not. This week has children trying to shoot parents, and who doesn't like that? In addition to that, we get to meet the ever colorful mom of Izzie. So without anymore further ado, let's jump right in to the super late recap of Grey's Anatomy. As a side note, I'm so behind I haven't seen the 100th wedding episode, so if my predictions for "next week's episode" are way off, you'll know why. In other news, the episode starts out strong...
In Izzie's room the residents are helping her eat chicken because she needs to update Mer and Der's wedding facebook page telling people what the food is. They all tell her it tastes like chicken until they are interrupted by Der looking dapper in his tux. Upon seeing him, Mer actually looks like a blushing bride and shows a great deal of restraint by not pounding him in Izzie's bathroom right then and there. You know how these two like to get in on in the hospital.
Meredith is meanwhile over-monologing something about biting kids on the playground and how even though you would apologize you wouldn't really mean it...insightful. After she drops this profound bomb on us Yang runs in to the Major who instinctively says, "I'm sorry," until he realizes it was Yang. He quickly says, "Take care now," and takes off. She looks all pissed, but that's a lot more recognition than you usually get after a one night stand.
Yang's irritation is interrupted by Torres who informs her that she can't pay rent. She is a doctor!? I get that her trust was cut off, but....I thought doctors made a lot of money? Why did I spend all those years whoring it up outside the med school building if those dip shits don't make any money? Torres whines that not one person in her family is talking to her and Arizona comforts her as Yang tells her to just lie and say they broke up. Arizona, in true girl form, is instantly annoyed and tells Torres to think about it-with the heavy subtext of: do it and were through.
Torres leaves with Sloan who has a present for her. Mmm I'd open any present coming from Sloan. Torres launches into how she can't take his money even though she can't pay rent, and Sloan tells her that he can't be friends with a Doctor who can't afford rent on an apartment. No, actually he has a patient who fell out of a tree and broke every bone in her body. Torres responds as if she just found the end of the rainbow and sitting inside the massive pot of gold was a leprechaun holding a bottle of jack and two glasses.
Elsewhere in the hospital, the first ever Alcoholics who banged Mamma Grey un- anomalously meeting takes place. In attendance are the Chief and Papa Grey. Oh good, how I've missed him...Papa Grey is out of rehab and 29 days sober. The Chief offers him good meeting locations and they reflect on how much they have in common. Awkward...The Chief wonders if he has spoken to Meredith or Lexie yet, and while he doesn't answer, but the ominous music speaks for him.
The broken body girl lies in the hospital bed while Sloan and Torres treat her. Turns out, she broke all her bones by being bull dozed out of a tree she was trying to save. Yikes, I find tree huggers annoying too, but to bulldoze a tree while someone is living in it? She is determined to save whatever beautiful trees she can, but so far she's been fighting a useless battle against corporate yuppy scum. Sloan, ever so eloquently asks how one poos while living in a tree and sadly we never hear the-what I can only imagine to be- fascinating answer.
The episode takes a turn for the brighter as a cougar on the prowl stalks its prey in its natural habitat. The cougar approaches the prey slowly at first, asking for the help of a doctor. The prey attempts to thwart the cougar by ma'aming her. The cougar is wounded slightly, but quick to rebound by verbally expressing her plans for the prey. The prey, realizing the attack, begins to quickly retreat. The cougar tries another attempt, and tells her prey that she is the "friend" of the woman the prey is banging, Isabelle Stevens.

Nice recap. And, actually, having it late has some advantages.
You didn't say much I would disagree with... the domestic violence thing is a hot topic with me, too.
That "magic" powder saved many lives in Iraq... FDA approval or not. It is also used in battle dressings (bandages); but the powdered form can be poured into more massive wounds (like you might get from an IED) to stop the bleeding.
I'm guessing the Major also carries Tampons (Medics and others use them to plug gunshot wounds).

Take your time on the recaps. It will give me something to read when all the final episodes have aired and the networks begin trotting out their thrid and fourth rate summer crap. (I LIKE your stuff...can't say the same for Wipeout and The Bachelorette.)
I think Torres is just so pitiful. She doesn't understand her family can't love her for who she is because even TORRES doesn't seem to know who she is. She's been married...divorced...sleeping with Sloan (which is still her best pairing)...then suddenly a lesbian involved one woman...and mere weeks later involved with a different woman. No wonder Papa Torres wants to take her home.
And I don't understand the Torres is broke thing, either. She should certainly make enough money to pay rent and buy food. I'm betting she doesn't have any student loans to contend with.
Ridiculous.

I don't care if recaps are late either. :)
Can someone explain what Mer meant when she told the battered wife, "You have to change your story." Me lost.

She meant the woman had to do something to keep herself from being another statistic...change her life so she wasn't a battered woman cliche.

I disagree with cattyfan. I believe she was telling the mother that she had to change her daughter's story or child protective services would likely take the kid away.
I also disagree with cattyfan on something far more important...I LOVE WIPEOUT!
Thatswhatshesaid: Those little 3-word sentences you came up with had me laughing out loud, which is rare. Thanks. :-)
