George, never one to miss out on a Chief ass kissing opportunity, tells him about Sadie's lack of knowledge of anything medical. After their meeting, Grey is waiting for Sadie. Sadie admits that she cheated to get into the program and figured that if she was in the same place as Grey she'd learn on her feet. Grey reminds Sadie that they aren't 25 anymore and that at some point you have to grow up. Sadie can't believe that Grey won't pick up and move back to Europe with her and have fun, and tells Grey that they sucked the life right out of her-well her face at least. Who cheats their way into becoming a doctor? A lot of jobs, fine, but a doctor??
This Sadie thing is weird. They really never developed her character at all. They didn't develop her relationship with Grey at all either, and then all of a sudden they act like it's so dramatic that her and Grey have this falling out. You barely even saw them together. And what happened to who her father is, that made the Chief give her a second chance? Unless that'll come into play later, but I'm kind of wondering if they just decided to call that story line a wash and move on. Which I'm fine with, btw.
At the end of the day, the old gang hits up Joe's. Addison can't believe that Sloan sprung the "Derek getting engaged thing" on her the way he did, but knows its time for her to move on. Derek arrives after his surgery with the pregnant woman to a rousing applause, and they order him a drink. Addison pulls him aside and tells him that he was a God today, but now it's time for God to get back into his tiny little box for good. (Don't worry though, she'll see you on Christmas!)
When Derek sits down, Sloan, Naomi and Sam begin to serenade him with THE song. They begin, which includes phrases like, 'saw her over a dead body' and 'or as I'm as dead as that body.' It's as super as it sounds. They keep laughing and drinking and singing the obnoxious song while meanwhile at the hospital, the pregnant woman is crashing.
From there, Grey's Anatomy ends and Private Practice begins. This whole thing, as you know, really annoys me because I don't want to watch Private Practice, but they are forcing me. I'm going to cover the basics of the episode that pertain to Grey's Anatomy since the next episode will be another special crossover event, but I'm leaving the PP stuff alone.
At Joe's, the gang are all drinking and dancing around like a scene from the Big Chill. Derek gets the call from the hospital about his patient and runs off. He tells the crew it has nothing to do with Archer, but they don't believe him and all head out after him. The drunk crew shows up at Seattle Grace to see how Archer is doing. Bailey is like, why in the world are you drunks here. Leave Archer alone.
The pregnant woman is struggling with complications and can't breathe. Derek is checking up on her and not sure exactly what is wrong. There were slight complications during her surgery but it shouldn't be causing this.
Derek talks to Addison about the pregnant woman unable to figure out what is wrong with her. Addison, specializing in babies, can tell that it is probably the baby that is the problem. Thank goodness Addison was there! Addison, still fresh from the bar, Derek and Karev look at a sonogram of the baby. The husband tries to find out what is wrong because the woman was fine when she got to the hospital, now she's had brain surgery and something is wrong with their baby. Get in line buddy, you aren't the first to get worse the longer you stayed at this hospital. They find out that the baby is anemic and is causing the problems.
In a side conversation, Karev confides in Addison that something is wrong with Izzie. He can feel the train a-coming but he doesn't know what's about to hit. He's tired of being with the crazy chick and part of him just wants to run in the other direction. It seems really weird that he is just now noticing that Izzie doesn't have the train all the way in the station. Did you not notice when she was having sex with ghosts?

Does this mean we'll never know who Sadie's very influential father is? What a train wreck her character was...
The screencap about giving Torres back her dignity was funny, but in a sad, too true kind of way. Why, oh why, can't they put her with Sloan? I will never buy her as a lesbian...she's just not as convincing with a woman as she is with a guy.
This epi crystallized why Merideth and Derek don't work for me. When he's with Addison, they're equals, and they challenge each other. Mer will always be less...and that's how he will always see her and treat her. (And so will his friends.)
Lifetime is running the first season right now. I watched the second epi Sunday night and confirmed several things: this show used to be far better written...Izzie actually was a badass doctor once upon a time, instead of a snivelling cheerleader...George has never added anything to the landscape...and Burke was a great chracter. The show is less for his absence.

Great recap, and thanks for summarizing the Private Practice part for me. It's still on my DVR but now I'm ok with skipping it. If you want to do a one week crossover, fine, but to really jam another show down our throats for 3 or more weeks is obnoxious.
I don't watch PP for a reason, namely when in the pilot the elevator started talking to Addison and she was talking back, I couldn't hit the channel button fast enough. All I could think was they were going to turn a great character into "Ally McBeal, M.D."
One thing I think you missed was that I don't think Karev was concerned about Izze because she was organizing the intern game, but rather because on two occasions it appeared there was something serious wrong with her field of vision. First she didn't see scissors that were on the table right in front of her, and then at the end of the intern game, when Alex was handing her the end of the scotch tape finish line she had a problem seeing it. Apparently our girl is not out of the woods yet.
Good riddance to Sadie. By far the most useless and annoying character yet on this show, and that's really saying something.

I actually watch PP, but I can see why people are annoyed by it. Addison is nowhere near the Addison she used to be on GA and I dearly miss the Badass Doctor and Amazing Woman that she used to be.
I was so excited for Sadie when she first arrived. But damn, did they ever drop the ball on that one! There are so many hanging plotlines, it looks like my grandmother's old angora sweater!
Mer/Der got to the point where they annoy the crap out of me. I loved the first three seasons where they were together, then not. It was drama and angst and I loved it. Now they're trying to keep them together but inject some of that drama back into it, and honestly, it's just not working for me.
Owen and Christina are, by far, my favorite couple on the show right now. They ignite my TV screen every time they're on. I hope that the GA writers don't just drop his issues with the war once they finally hook up. PTSD is a pretty serious issue, and I don't think that it's adequately covered (guess you can tell that I'm former military).
I love Alex & Izzie together when she's not all batshit crazy. Too bad they won't have time to fix her (I've heard that despite Shonda's previous claims, they're going to kill off Katherine's character), because I think that theirs could be an amazing relationship. I hope they don't turn Alex back into Prick Alex. =(
I won't be sad to see George go. He adds nothing to the show and never has. The Gizzie storyline made me almost as sick as watching him pine over Meredith (don't get me started on The Worst Sex Ever). Bye-bye TR. Hope you find something better.
Callie. Sigh... I loved her when she first came on. She was strong and smart and beautiful and amazing. Yes, the marriage to George was a nightmare (was there ever any doubt it would be??), but she should've been able to pick herself back up and MOVE ON! Her fling with Sloan was freaking HOT and I thought they'd be great together. They're amazing as friends (I love every scene they're in together), and could've been more amazing as a couple. But honestly, I think I like him better with Lexie just because of the person she's bringing out in him. Sensitive But Still Dirty Sloan is HOTTTT. I don't buy Callie as a lesbian AT ALL. Not even close. No.
I don't know what they're doing with Bailey, but I hope they do something soon. I hate seeing her float in the wind like this.
