As Izzie and Yang watch this conversation Yang wonders why Meredith is doing the pee pee dance. Turns out Izzie made her hydrate before meeting the mom. Are they running a race together? Their discussion is interrupted by the Major who mid hospital check up, casually asks Yang out on a date. Izzie looks like a 7th grader who just intercepted a check yes-or-no note in 4th period by this convo. Yang is flustered but accepts the date and the Major heads out. Izzie then giggles like a drunk 7th grader who intercepted a check yes-or-no note in 4th period.
In his room, Jackson asks Bailey why he can't have the nice ginger's organs. Obviously he's never watched South Park. Bailey explains, that a transfer like that would be highly against the rules, which just upped the percentage that this exchange will happen at Seattle Grace 45%.
A similar conversation is occurring between Meredith and prisoner Dunn, as he tries to figure out why he can't give the little one his organs. He refers to himself as a 3-day liquidation sale in which everything must go. He ends his plea by saying he wants to save a life before he goes.
Bailey finds Arizona to discuss option for speeding up Jackson's treatment. The two of them disagree again, and begin to yell at each other. I'm kinda digging Arizona. She's perky yet bitchy at the same time. While they fight, Karev interrupts to let them know that they have organs for Jackson! Don't people usually wait months/weeks for that? Apparently the organ transplant list is on Jack Bauer time today.
Karev and Arizona jump on a private plane to go recover the organs. Arizona keeps trying to make small talk with Karev about flying, Izzie, children, the future. Karev basically tells her to shut it and leave him alone. Why is everyone hating on Arizona? I like her!
At lunchtime Izzie gushes to Yang about her upcoming date. Izzie thinks that Yang will be cute with the "pig murderer." Gross, forgot about that. Izzie, on a high from all of her relationship help today, gives Yang some dating tips about what to do, say and wear. While they discuss Yang's future (disaster) date, they notice Meredith across the cafeteria sitting like she has a rod up her ass eating pot roast. Yang informs them that Meredith is in the middle of a show for mommy which she is totally blowing. Apparently mom's only like girlfriends who eat heavy starch and carbs at lunch.
At the table of discomfort, Mamma D questions Meredith kindly about her past. When she asks about Mer's parents, Meredith turns into Bridget Jones and squintly fumbles over words and excuses herself to go check on the serial killer. Smooth, Grey. Derek lets his mom know that Meredith is a little uncomfortable talking about her parents. Mamma D, let's Baby D know that she understands how hard this is for him to treat a murderer based on his father's death. I'm glad she mentioned it since Meredith was barely fazed by this news last week.
At another table, Sloan is joined by Lexie, which is the equivalent of a high school student sitting in the teacher's lounge. Sloan freaks, but Lexie informs him that if he wants to keep banging her, he's gotta share her snack pack at lunch. The other interns see this and think Dr. Sloan is totally the coolest and all join him. The interns start acting like 12 year olds trading food and talking about Miley Cyrus, forcing Sloan for the second time this episode to recognize what a dirty old man he is.
He leaves the kiddie table and finds someone his own age to talk to, Mamma D. She recognizes that he has been avoiding her all day and Sloan puts his tail between his legs and admits he's sleeping with someone he shouldn't. Mamma freaks out thinking Sloan is referring to Meredith and can't believe Sloan is banging Derek's girl again. Sloan quickly vomits in his mouth and corrects her that it's not Meredith, but Mer's sister. Mer's much younger sister. When he points her out to Mamma D, Lexie is appropriately slurping a box of apple juice.

BTW Bailey, how are your marital problems going? Your husband doesn't still complain that you obsess over work and that you spend more time with your patients than your family, does he? Just curious.
OMG Between that comment and the 'shacking' refernce, this post wins. And I'm still on the first page.

Yes, I agree, this episode was really good. That fully-clothed shower scene was HOT!
If we never see Denny again, it will be too soon.
I think Tyne's show was "Judging Amy", though!
Nevertheless, great recap!

Darn, I didn't watch the show last week (watched football) so I was counting on your recap! Shucks.
It looks like Denny will be out of the picture soon. Way to take a beloved character and make everybody hate him!
I hate to be the grammar police but...when talking about Izzy and Alex, say "She and Alex..." not "Her and Alex..." Sorry, it just annoys me.
Love your recaps, though!

Hey guys! Thanks for checking the recap out.
scottywrangler you are def right, that the show was Judging Amy. Was Chasing Amy a movie about a lesbian?
pixielated-Sorry about the grammar. Me usually speak so good. ;) You made the RIGHT choice by choosing the National Championship over Greys last week. I went to the game which is why the recap was so late. Still not sure what happened to it in recap land. Sorry. But to give you a quick recap, last week's show was literally just to set up this week and tomorrow's show. Honestly. It was super boring. So I was so excited that this episode was so much better.
I feel like tomorrow is going to be a good one! Thanks again for reading!

Another great recap. (But I envy your going to the champ game!)
I have the same irritation at them saving death row guy - and who is paying for that? The same tax payers who can't get free treatment for their own child.
I (still) like Arizona. Better than almost everyone else there.
The shower scene was good, and the whole episode was far better than the prior one.

So I must be drawing a blank but since when did Lexie move into Meredith's attic? I thought Lexie lived with George.

You're right, blazergirl. Maybe that was one of those things that happened the previous week??
I was thinking about death row guy, and couldn't he sign a "do not resuscitate" order or have a living will or one of those things like that old lady did a few weeks ago? You know, the one whose husband kept trying to keep her alive and it was so sad?

Grey let Lexie crash there after the whole intern surgery debacle, but I didn't realize she was moving in. I guess once the other intern told George, "She's like in love with you" Things got a little awkward. I wonder why nobody lives in Derek's trailer.
Pixie, good call on the DNR form. That kind of logic would mess up the "explosive" next new episode though.

Thanks TWSS; I have seen every episode and knew I was forgetting something but didn't think I had missed a major part. I guess it wasn't given too much notice on the show.

I know this is like beating a dead horse, but poor George. Another week with only a few lines and now Lexie doesn't even live with him (I didn't remember her moving in with Deth either). But I did like this Grey's ep...now if they can keep the momentum going!

Remember when Sloan said to McDreamy, "you take her home or I will" about Lexie/Little Grey? I think that meant that McDreamy and Meredith decided to let her move in. that might have been around the same time that Meredith thought Lexie was a cutter and Mcdreamy was like you need to be a big sister...
about the prisoner, maybe since he doesn't have any rights, he can't sign a living will or whatever.. there's a Jodi Picoult book about a prisoner on death row who wants to give his heart to the daughter of a man he killed..but the mother doesn't want a killer's heart in her daughter. It's kind of frustrating that the prisoner just can't give his organs to Jackson, but wouldn't that be like helping to kill someone if they let the prisoner die just to get his organs? isn't it weird that callie and george never talk even tho they used to be married?
