Izzie watches everyone leave the Doctor's locker room and says bye as everyone leaves for the night. George tells Izzie that whenever she is ready to talk, he is still there for her. At least somebody picked up on something being wrong with her. After, everyone else has left, Izzie approaches Yang. She needs to tell Yang, because Yang is a robot and might be the only one who can handle the news she desperately needs to share. But they need to go somewhere else...she can't tell her there.
Meredith arrives at the trailer to find McD hitting beer cans with a baseball bat. She asks him why he took all his stuff and how long he plans to hide out at the trailer. McD...all beat up and Mountain Mannish still says he's not hiding and just wants Meredith to get the hell out of there. McD tells her that he's just done. Done with surgery and done with their relationship. McD begins to unleash five seasons worth of resentment on Meredith and calls her a lemon... completely unfixable in every way. He yells at her to leave and calls her out on every annoying relationship behavior we've all had to endure for the last five seasons. And while he is being super mean...it's nice to finally see him no longer taking her shit anymore. It gets hard to root for the nice guy, when he never stands up for himself.
Meredith takes all of the shit relatively well and calmly tells him that she knows there's a ring. (Do you think she is only staying calm and letting him go off on her because there is a ring involved. I only say this because it's weird she said....I know there's a ring, not I know you are planning on proposing. I don't think she is that materialistic, but it's still questionable.
McD gives her that are you f-ing kidding me face. He asks her if she wants the ring. And after showing it to her, he throws it in the air and hits it with the baseball ring. He throws the bat towards her, and goes inside. After slamming the trailer door shut, he yells "Go home Meredith!" She tells him she's not bailing and that they are in this together. And after getting one final look at the ring, the episode ends.
A trailer, beer cans, baseball bat an embarrassing yelling argument? When did McD get so redneck? All he needs is 4 more cars without tires on his lawn and he's pretty much a member of the Blue Collar comedy tour. Overall, I thought the episode was good. There is still a lot of back and forth about is Katherine Heigl leaving or isn't she..and I think she is definitely leaving. Think about it, if someone at work kept telling everyone you were leaving the company...wouldn't you be like, uh no I'm not everybody. Please stop saying that. I am staying here employed! I know it's different in Hollywood, and she probably has to stay quiet so that the most non-secretive television secret doesn't get out, but it's still weird.
So, sorry this recap was late. And next week's will be late too because I'm going to be out of town for awhile and couldn't get a fill-in. But hopefully this season and the recap timing will start to pick up a bit!

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).
