As Sloan and the Major brief the steps of the transplant, they don't forget to be teachers and ask the interns questions throughout the brief. Lexie stays the star pupil answering every question correctly much to the encouragement of Sloan and much to the eye roll of the rest of the interns. Looks like the interns have caught onto all the "extra study hours" Lexie has been logging in the plastics lab with Sloan. This irritation is only magnified when Sloan asks Izzie and Grey...little not big, to be on his service today. Everyone is shocked and irritated including Big Grey and Yang. But come on, like those two have never reaped the benefits of scrubbing in on big surgeries before because of who they were sleeping with. Those in glass houses whores.
Yang also gets a shock when she learns that she is getting a solo surgery today. There is a nice old lady with a hernia, and since everyone wants to work on blow hole, Yang gets him. It's cool for Yang, but a little scary for the old lady. The little old lady turns out to be a little batty and kind of annoying and she wants to chit chat with Yang about her friends and her missed trip to Europe and the most recent contestant kicked off of American Idol, but Yang is all business, until her cell phone rings. Yang cuts the woman off and walks out on her cell phone. Ok, the old lady was annoying but that would beyond piss me off. The only thing ruder would have been if she spit on her face Pumpkin style before walking out. The phone call is in regards to Izzie's diagnosis, as Yang is trying to get Izzie an immediate appointment, but in my mind all I see is asshole on a cell phone.
Out in the woods, Torres shows up and could not look more out of place in her sassy makeup and leather ensemble. She finds Derek enjoying a little hair of the dog still looking dirty and sexy. Torres begins to relate to Derek as she has lost a patient in a difficult way too. She shares with him her painful story to which he listens intently. When she finishes her story, Derek asks her how she can live with killing a man like that. How she can get up every morning and look herself in the mirror? Without an answer that makes sense, Torres does what every vulnerable woman talking to a hot man would do, asks for a beer.
Grey tries to discuss with Yang her worries about Derek, and how she might be a single woman right now, all the while Yang is completely ignoring her. Grey understands being ignored. What with having a solo surgery and her affair with the Major, she must spend her days reveling in her charmed life. What Grey doesn't know is that the Yang is carrying the massive secret about Izzie's impending death and the major is borderline psychotic, when he isn't being sweet or passionate. As their conversation wraps up an intern walks by with a bloody face.
George and Grey are meeting with a separate patient trying to get her information and one by one more interns enter the room beat up and crying. George and Grey decide to not ask them and ignore it, which is fine by me, because seriously who cares about those dipshits?
In Blow Hole's room (ok I'm not as asshole for using this nickname, it's just easy), he meets with Sloan, Izzie, Lexie and a couple of no-named interns. We learn that Blow Hole's post surgery support group consists of a few people he met in a chat room for people who love orchids. Seriously people will talk about anything online. Izzie asks him to practice using a lung device that he'll need post-surgery. An intern starts to show him how to use it and asks him to "practice and blow" prompting another intern to add "hole," snickering. Izzie flips out and demands they go to the hall. At least the intern didn't add "job" prompting another intern to say "That's what she said." That's what my friends would have done. So maybe we aren't assholes, just immature.

I'm trying to figure out why I used to find Hunt hot and sexy and now I just look at him and wish that he had eyebrows.

I agree that it was better than usual (not a high bar to clear, though).
As to your being a bit late with the recap... if anyone has a problem, maybe they'd like to sign an online petition to have your pay cut in half. (I'm not so good with math... what is half of nothing?)
Thanks!

I think since the crossover episode Greys has become a lot better..it really sucked for awhile, but I found myself crying at this episode when Izzie and Yang are sitting on the bench outside the hospital. Do you think the writers will forgive her and let her live?

I guess I never understood why so many people adore Bailey. Is it because she's the only thing on the show remotely resembling a grown-up?
Personally, I've always wanted to slap that sullen look off her face. Maybe twice, if the first one doesn't take.
One thing I noticed and thought was funny--since all men in the Chick shows
designed from the Grey's template now have to wear the same two-day stubble, now, when they need to show that a male character has hit rock bottom, he has to grow a full-on Grizzly Adams beard...

I have been oh so patiently waiting for this recap!! Well worth the wait! I used to love Grey's because I'd watch and always have one of those good cries, like the kind that just cleans you out..lol. But for awhile there it just sucked. But this ep, at the end when they show Bailey telling George about Izzie and he just starts running..I lost it. Thank God..I needed some soul-cleansing tears..haha. I saw online that the next new ep. isn't until April 23rd...boo.
