This week on Grey's Anatomy, we kick off the episode with Meredith explaining how paranoia gets you to do crazy things. The kids of Seattle Grace know that a big staffing cut is coming and they are all trying to pretend they are invaluable. Granted, anyone who has watched this show before knows that is total bull shit, but we can pretend. The interns are working 12 people deep, begging to help on any projects and craziest of all Yang-the people hater...is begging Arizona to be on the pediatric rotation. You know, because she loves kids...

Yang further solidifies her spot in hell by explaining her reasoning for begging to get on pediatric rotation to Meredith. Reason 1: The residents at Mercy West don't suck, so they aren't all going to get immediately fired. Reason 2: Meredith is safe because of McD who obviously isn't going anywhere (unless Can't Buy Me Love is about to make a sequel which I would fully support), Bailey's new favorite is Alex and Izzie has cancer and nobody is going to fire someone with cancer. So reason 1 plus reason 2 equalsYang to kissing kiddie doctor ass so that somebody loves her. I hope all doctors are as compassionate as she is.
Not to be left behind by her peers, Izzie has shown up also to fight for her job. She's decided to return from cancer leave a little early to get back to work and prove to people she won't die. Bet giving that $8 million away suddenly looks a little silly, huh Iz? But Izzie isn't alone, she has brought some type of animal to live on her head. She tells Alex that her mom sent it to her, from one trailer home to another. She asks him how real it looks to which he just walks away. Smart man, if you can't say anything nice...

Sloan and Shepherd discuss the upcoming merger and how the Chief has handled it. McD doesn't appreciate that after announcing the upcoming firings, the Chief has been locked in his office ever since. McD, who can only be ballsy at work because you know Meredith runs to household, goes to confront the Chief about this. Sloan tries to stop him, saying things will be fine, but is interrupted by Lexie trying to prove herself by running blood to the OR. On her run, she slips and spills blood everywhere. Next time the Red Cross calls and asks me to donate blood I'm going to reference this scene and say, no way....I see yall just spill it on the television screen.

Sloan tries to comfort her by telling her she's not going to get fired and to start acting like she belongs here. He also tries to get her to go home, as not leaving or sleeping is the second theme of this episode. Meredith and Yang discuss how unnecessary sleep is as well, and decide to take one more trauma before calling it a day. How lucky for this last trauma that they get two selfish residents who haven't slept in 36 hours. Enjoy the after life buddy.
But Yang and Mer aren't the only ones who want the next trauma. Izzie and the rug have appeared and Izzie wants the next trauma so she can jump back on the saddle and show off her new wig in the OR. While Yang and Meredith try to not comment on the animal that has taken residence on Izzie's head, New Bailey arrives letting them know of an incoming trauma. As they argue about who she should pick, new Bailey gets frustrated and just tells Karev to come on. Meanwhile Izzie's interns appear to pretend that her wig looks real, which Izzie completely agrees with. I wasn't aware that there were no mirrors in trailers.

I've never understood how we're supposed to care about any of these self-absorbed male and female cunts when they obviously don't care about anybody else. (Okay, so the last 5 minutes of musical montage shows that they're human just like you and me every week. Fuck you, Shonda. It doesn't make up for the previous 55 minutes of cruelty.) I think this show's writing says a lot about Shonda Rimes's soul, and it's a bitchy, ugly soul desperately in need of dry cleaning, if you ask me.

Wow, that is an intense comment. Not that I disagree.
