After a long hiatus, we are back with a new drama filled week on Grey's Anatomy. As morning breaks, all the members and new members of the frat house prepare for another day of torturing interns, boning Doctors and experimental surgery. All except for one. McDreamy has set up shop on the downstairs couch, and for anyone who has ever actually spent time in a fraternity house common room...this is pretty close. He hasn't shaved, showered or moved in a few days and he's surrounded by empty boxes of take-out and cereal. Add 60 odd Natty light cans and you've got the last stop before freedom on the walk of shame.
McD angrily and still beat up from the fight with Sloan tells her he'll be going to the hospital today because he has a deposition now that he's been hit with a big fat lawsuit after killing Jessica Stein. Grey awkwardly says, oh...well that's good....I mean, not that you killed a bitch, but you know, that you're going back to the hospital. Smooth Grey.
Turns out the Major dreams of practicing judo, since he backhands Yang into a wall upon waking. Yang slams hard against it causes her arm to split open and start bleeding. As the Major bandaged Christina up, she assures him its no big deal and tries to discuss incoming cases since she is on his service today. He tells her that she needs to let her arm heal, and he doesn't need her today. I'm sure Yang is going to take this really well. She loves missing out on cases.
In other Doctor on Doctor action, Torres is checking up on Sloan's hand to see if it still bears the brunt of McD's face all over it. Sloan hasn't operated in three days, and Torres advises him to wait a little longer until it's fully healed. And BTW Sloan, all of the patient's who's faces you might be working on agree with her! Can you imagine if your plastic surgeon came in with a cast on their hand?
As they are talking, Arizona walks by and Torres hides behind Sloan. She tells Sloan about the "say anything" moment she has in front of Arizona's date, and now she's hiding. I don't know that it's a say anything moment. If you didn't hold a radio above your head it doesn't count. But that would be awesome for next time Torres!
After Torres leaves, Lexie the walking disaster comes up. She apologizes again for causing the fight and tells Sloan he ought to talk to McD since he hasn't left the couch since bruising Sloan's fist with his face. Sloan seems very eager to do this as his only response to her request is to walk away.
Elsewhere as Alex is charting, Izzie gazes on dreamily and begins to tell him about how she can imagine him in ten years as a rockstar doctor with grey in his hair. She is proud of him and her overflow of kindness gets Alex concerned. Their conversation is interrupted when the interns approach with an update on "Patient X."
After they leave, Yang, Grey, George and Alex try to figure out what the deal is with Patient X, and why it is keeping their interns too busy to do all their crap busy work. The discuss how their worried that Izzie is falling behind since she is never in the OR anymore and seems to care more about teaching the interns than proving herself. Then the worst insult is dropped when they worry that she is the new O'Malley. Who is standing right in the middle of the conversation. In true George form though, he takes it like a little girl and doesn't respond.

I don't understand the Chief's looking at pediatric SURGERY as being a "soft" choice. It's still all the same surgeries, just on smaller people. And it often hurts more if they die. It just seems like a bad attempt to make the Chief seem like a jerk.
And I'm still not buying Torres as a lesbian. Yang I could believe....but not Callie, especially after the scenes with Sloane.

Not to be a brat, TWSS, but you left out the part where Yang & Izzie are in the Tornado Room and supposedly Izzie tells Yang she's Patient X.
I wish I had that vent in my house - it just looks fun!
Great recap!

Fabulous recap, TWSS!
I am really starting to appreciate and love Yang. She is fierce.
I don't why Derek just suddenly realized that he loses more patients than he saves. That is always true of neurosurgeons. They are more than aware of this when they decide to specialize in the field.
I guess he just thought that his godlike skills would make him different. He sure has been an asshole this season. First he is obnoxious and condescending to Meredith (who I don't even like) and now he's a whiny baby.

Great recap TWSS! I sort of stopped watching the show after Iz started having fantastic phantasmal sex.
Poor Izzie! If I were her, I'd head over to House's hospital, STAT, and have him take a gander. Over there, they are less concerned with breaking penises during illict sex in the breakroom, and more concerned with solving whatever trauma the Victim Of The Week has.
Sure, they will misdiagnose you at least five times, but in the end, House will wake up from his Vicodin stupor and discover it wasn't melanoma spread to every conceivable part of the body, merely the Mystery Meat that you ate in the hospital cafeteria that Wednesday a few weeks back when you forgot to brown bag it because you were too busy trying to decide whether to sleep with your dead boyfriend or live boyfriend. The MM took root in your stomach lining. Easily removed, bada bing, bada bang, all healed. :)
P.S.: Seriously, hospital food sucks. I swear it is made to make you worse so you spend another couple hundred on having them bring you Tums (with one Tums equaling about $75 a pop).
