This week on Grey's Anatomy, they did something that that truly shocked and repulsed me. I have struggled as a faithful viewer through some difficult episodes of Grey's, but this week they might have gone too far. They did something that has turned me off of many a show in the past, something that has made me change the channel never to return. Even typing it sends shivers down my spine. Tonight Grey's....you really tested my stomach threshold. Tonight, Grey's showed doctor stuff.
Wait, we're supposed to be Doctors?
We begin the episode with Izzie tip-toeing through the frat house and eavesdropping at the door of McD/McSkeletor's room. When she hears no sound of life, she quietly knocks on the door only to be greeted by McD doing his best d*ck in the box impression and a smile. Izzie gets into a long monologue about how she needs $20 because Karev owes her money but since he's a massive prick he won't pay her. McD plays the bad ass card and yells "Karev give me $20" and Karev immediately obliges. Izzie, thoroughly impressed by her new roommate, invites McD to share a pizza with her. And by pizza, she means doing the dirty. Kidding! But seriously, how long until these two bang?
Step 1: Cut a hole in a box Step 2: Put your junk in that box
Across town it's moving day for Yang and Torres who are assisted by their most masculine friends, Hahn and Meredith. Hahn, not ready to take the lipstick lesbian stereotype, asks Torres out on a date. It's sweet, but they have as much chemistry as the time we watched George and Izzie do it. After Torres accepts, she makes a face that reminds me of the face Hoopz made when she won Flavor of Love.
OMG, now I'm expected to have sex with you?
Meredith arrives home to find McD is still naked, and waiting for her in bed. Meredith, unable to recognize a good thing when she's got it, ignores him and asks about a diary on the nightstand. She notices a beat up, leather faced object over her naked boyfriend? She really is a narcissist. When she muses over how sweet it is that McD has a diary, he corrects her and says its her mom's, not his. Because nothing turns a girl on more than talking about her verbally abusive dead mother. McD assures Mer he didn't read it, but thought it might make nice candlelight reading for her later. Meredith, realizing she has nothing else to pout about this episode, gets furious and stalks out. Now she'll never know what the surprise in the box is.
Back at the hospital, Meredith is--what else-- complaining to Yang about McD's huge breach of trust by pulling out the diary. Seriously, how she doesn't smack a bitch up is beyond me. The Chief, still PMSing from that whole #12 thing, continues to bitch at all the Doctors about abiding by the new rules. Apparently, the Doctors no likey change and are whining about not getting their way. Although I'm kind of whining about change too, Grey's used to be awesome...now it's not, thus, that change is making me whine. So pot, I'm kettle and we're both black.
In our favorite unrequited love triangle, Lexie is assuring George that he will get his scores today and wants to be the first to bang him--I mean, buy him a beer, when he passes. Lexie's also prepared to sacrifice all self-dignity and pride in hopes of banging the hospital doormat.
Meanwhile, everyone gets their assignments for the day. Grey is with Hahn, Alex and Izzie are together in the pit and Yang is in the clinic. A place that unless her and Burke were slumming for hospital sex, she's never been too.
The token bromance scene takes place between the McMen as they discuss, what else, Meredith and Derek's troubled relationship. I don't really fault Sloan for sleeping with McD's wife. If I had to listen to him complain everyday, I'd take drastic measures to get him to leave me alone too. Derek says he is fully prepared for Meredith to have him back in the trailer within the week. He then re-programs Rose's number into his phone.
Dude, remember when I banged your wife and this show was good?

I liked this episode. I thought George was great with that kid. The whole time he was getting him ready to see the surgery I thought how sweet he's going to be a great dad! The whole Yang & dermatology was funny. And the convo between Bailey and Torres was hilarious!!! As soon as Bailey busted out with vajayjay I KNEW the advice was going to be priceless! I DO NOT like Hahn. Why does she have to be such a rude b*tch?

"The Va-Jay-Jay"
"Jay"??? You'd think with all those fancy doctor degrees, they would know how to spell.

I was a bit uncomfortable with the whole lesbian story line - and so was my girlfriend (I'm a guy).
It didn't seem real, and it creeped me out, partly because I don't really find either of them attractive - also their characters don't seem real.
I wonder if that's ever how gay people feel when they watch straight romantic story lines?
There was a girl on girl theme on House this week and I had no similar reaction. Both characters were unrealistically hot, but also the relationship was believable and engaging.
Maybe I just prefer my PC indoctrination to be a little more subtle.
(I haven't had time to read your recap yet - but I am sure it is excellent, as usual!)

That'sWhatSheSaid - you are hilarious and I love your recaps. But that picture of Patient No-Face was terrible! I stopped watching Grey's after the episode where Seth Green's neck exploded. It was just too gross and bloody for me. I follow the recaps though just to keep up with the relationship dramas. That picture sure reminded me why I stopped watching! Yeeesh.

i only watch this show now for meredith, christina, alex and mark. they try way too hard to make the other characters these paragon's of virtue and it makes me ill. mcdreamy is the most horrible boyfriend ever...he insists one minute that he'll give meredith time to adjust to a real relationship and then he's back to harping about getting married. i'm sorry but what about your first marriage made you that much in a hurry to do it again? just so mer can bang mark? oh wait.. that sounds fun. let's married them off! i liked hahn until they shoved her into a relationship with torres. i just don't buy that callie likes her at all. anyway i'm just coasting through until kevin mckidd comes back and makes some hot love with christina!!

ooh, fire@will, child, you clearly don't know many real lesbians...trust me: they're not all hot like the ones on House...and while I can't speak for all gays, no, we're not uncomfortable watching straight romance...I think the problem you're having with Callie/Hahn is that it's so awkward.

Great recap! I actually like the callie/hahn story line... i called hahn as being gay from the start... i actually have a straight friend who recently fell in love with a woman (lesbian) and they are now living together happily ever after and having hot lesbian sex.... i actually think this happens more often than people think... girls are hot.

I had to stop reading your recap, TWSS, because Im still LOL'ing over your self esteem comment. I was the smart doormat in high school - now Im married, only semi successful, but VERY happy.
You hear that, Bobby Austin?!?!?! Put down that crackpipe and go call your mother!!!
Ok, back to the recap...
