The Chief pulls Meredith aside and congratulates her on their engagement. She seems irritated for some invalid reason. He orders her to go try on wedding dresses in Izzie's room. Meredith, thrilled by this idea, pulls Derek aside and angrily tells him about the Chief's orders. She's mad because one, she doesn't want to wear a wedding dress and two why does the chief know they are engaged? I don't know Mer...maybe because he was the one who told you Derek was going to propose? Or maybe because everybody knows everything about everyone at Seattle Grace? Why do you care? Meredith tells Derek that if he doesn't say something to Izzie they will have bridesmaids in pink, and groomsmen in top hats and morning coats. I don't know what a morning coat is, but if it looks anything like this, it's totally worth it.
Arizona and Bailey watch over the cutest kid ever, Jessica, who is in the hospital room with her dad. Arizona tells Bailey that the disease she has is always terminal with kids. The kids who have it usually only live to be five and Jessica is six. Awesome, nothing like watching a child die to lighten the mood of a main character dying and another main character being almost murdered in her sleep. The dad comes out and tells the doctors about an experimental surgery in Mexico that he thinks might work for Jessica. He has friends who have been fundraising and they almost have enough money to get her there. Because all the best medical procedures come out of Mexico. Arizona tells him that his daughter won't make it to Mexico. She doesn't have days, she has hours. The dad argues and faults Arizona for giving up on his daughter. Gang wars and swine flu be damned, he's taking his daughter to Mexico.
In Izzie's room, she begins to flatline. Yang rushes in there calling for a crash cart. She almost trips over the 29 wedding dresses in the room but she instantly is at Izzie's side checking her pulse. Izzie, unable to keep up the charade begins cracking up. Nothing says prankster like a girl unplugging her heart monitor. She asks Yang to get Meredith to come try on dresses. Yang looks like she is about to strangle Izzie. Too soon?
But it works, because the next thing we know Izzie has Meredith trying on dresses. Meredith argues about coming out of the bathroom because the dress is horrendous, and once again I agree with Meredith! We have been agreeing a lot recently. Except not about not wearing diamonds. Still think that's ridunk Mer. I really have always believed that women always look beautiful in wedding dresses no matter how bad the dress or how ugly the woman. Well done Grey's Anatomy. Izzie proceeds to make it worse by getting Meredith to put on a veil that rivals the craptacular veils women will wear to the bar for bachelorette parties. Meredith is reluctant at first, natch, but Izzie plays the "I'm dying of cancer" card, getting Mer to succumb. Meredith argues that this dress will not go with the buffalo wings she is planning to serve at the reception to which Izzie's heart monitor fails slightly again.
In other news, Daddy Torres has decided he is going to talk to the Chief and bring Torres home, where she can be happy. Torres, like any good trust fund baby, stands there and pouts but takes what daddy dishes. However, behind closed doors with Arizona, Torres lets loose. She slips in and out of yelling in Spanish making sure we know just how pissed she is. Arizona brings in Sloan to help out because he's her best friend (really?) and she can't speak crazy chick like he can. Sloan stops the very cute Torres rant and tells her to stop speaking Spanish because he no hablo. She tells Sloan the update about her dad taking her home and he's like...uh, aren't you an adult? Just say no. Torres tells him that her dad has taken care of every aspect of her life that she can't disobey him.
Bailey walks by Jessica's room to find her awake and scared. Jessica asks where her dad is. Bailey knows he's probably buying new board shorts at Walmart for the upcoming Mexico trip, but she lies and says he'll be there shortly. Bailey brushes the dust and cobwebs off of her maternal instincts and picks the girl up to rock her. She tells Jessica this is what she does with her little boy when he's scared. He's probably scared because he doesn't know who the stranger picking him up and rocking him is, mother of the year!

Yet another hilarious recap. This site just makes my day, I only wish you guys would cover more shows. BTW, what happened to the Terminator recap of the finale?

Very funny, TWSS.
The only dress that Meredith looked passable in was the one she was wearing when she ran out to revive Izzie. It covered up her shoulders more. She's too thin too wear spaghetti straps, and that last dress looked too big on her.
Her face looks better now. I think it is filling out a little because Ellen Pompeo is pregnant.

The one who plays Lexie is also pregnant in real life. Must be something in the craft services water...

Lexie is looking very pretty, but I don't like that they have "glamourized" her now that she's involved with Mark. She used to look like a real person, with little/no makeup and her hair pulled back.
Why is this show starting to get good right at the end of the season after wasting all that time on that awful dead Denny story line?

TWSS, I highly second your recommendation on Cheats being the funniest movie ever.
I bet no one knows karate like your karate!
