Karev quickly takes the cougar into Izzie's room to where she continues to shamelessly and adorably throw herself at him. Upon seeing her Izzie nervously asks her 'mom' what she is doing there. Alex scoffs back, mom? As the cougar hugs Izzie she tells her to not tell the hot doctor she's a milf as well as a cougar.
The Grey sisters meet up in the Chief's office where they were both paged stat. Lexie seems nervous and Meredith confirms that they didn't accidentally kill anyone else recently and forget. The Chief drops the bomb that their newly sober dad is there, and as a favor to the chief he needs them to listen to him and forgive him. I don't know why the chief cares. Sticking the three of them in a room together won't make up for banging his wife all those years and probably causing the dad to be an alchie in the first place. Lexie is quiet and Meredith is defiant. I don't blame her. This guy was barely in her life, why should she have to deal with him. The Chief insists and sends Papa Grey in. I didn't like this actor in My So Called Life either. I think every role he plays pretty much sucks, like Ben Stiller.
Outside Yang, George and the Major wait for an incoming trauma. Hunt greets Yang with a, Hey there now! And before she has enough time to be annoyed, the ambulances arrive. A man has been shot as it turns out, pretty much everywhere possible. Luckily the shooter comes in right after him. It's a girl about the age of five with a hysterical mom swearing the little girl didn't mean too. Right, and I didn't mean to steal that $20 from my mom's wallet, or sneak out of the house, yet it didn't stop me from accidentally doing it multiple times. They begin to count out the bullets and get to 17.
Arizona checks up on the little girl, Madie, to make sure she is ok. She asks her about the bloody cut on her face, to which the mom interrupts, to explain how she got the cut and how she got the gun. Madie sits there very quietly, while the mom explains everything to the doctors. The mom seems to be stressing the story of how she got the gun, and how it was an accident to Madie more than to the doctors.
Papa Grey reads a pre-written statement to his daughters asking for forgiveness. Meredith listens with a mocking face as Lexie clings to every word. After he finishes, Meredith thanks him and leaves as business-like as possible. Lexie sits there with tears in her eyes and hugs him once Meredith leave. I feel bad for Mer in this scene, because it's so obvious this speech isn't meant for her, it's completely meant for Lexie, but he couldn't leave her out. She slowly pushes it down with all the rest of her built up rage, and I'm sure it won't erupt at a completely irrational moment.
The cougar, still out of its cage, bustles about Izzie's room updating her on all the ladies of the trailer park and their experiences with cancer. As a side note, I LOVE this lady. She's the best of all the Grey's Anatomy parents. She sprays perfume in Izzie's room which I can only imagine smells like the dressing room of a strip club next to the airport as Izzie interrupts her. She begins to explain that she has skin cancer to which the cougar pounces. In her defense, I don't blame her. Lying in a hospital bed surrounded by wedding dresses, cakes and flowers does seem a little dramatic if all you have is skin cancer. But this is a good reminder kids of why you should always wear sunscreen-if you don't...you could end up having ghost sex and dying!
Izzie reminds the cougar that she didn't have to come all the way to Seattle to see her, because she actually didn't even call. On that note, she wonders, who did call the cougar. Bailey and Alex exchange uneasy glances and quickly pretend they can't hear her.

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. :-)
