This week on Grey's Anatomy, we are welcomed by Meredith's monologue discussing the common childhood fear of the dark. As a child, you are afraid of the dark because of the monsters and secrets it holds. As you get older, those fears change and become regret, loneliness, uncertainty and guilt. Yes, but also in the dark the person lying next to you can't see that you did have seconds at the Sundae bar, so it's not all that bad. While she says this, we see Christina and Meredith frantically working over a bloody body, Callie lying on the floor with a bloody nose and Lexie curled up on the floor looking like she shit herself.
This looks hot, but really she is just wrapping her arms around herself....which is still kinda hot
At the frat house, Izzie tells herself and Denny that she's crazy. Oh good, so Izzie and I are in agreement again. I hate it when we disagree. Izzie is positive that Denny is a creation of her very overactive imagination, which has brought a dead man back for her to make out with. I have a very overactive imagination as well, which is why I've never gotten into porn-it's not as sexy when you start giving them backstories and plot lines. I feel what you're getting at, Izz. Denny assures her that he is only a dead man in love, who wants to do something they never got to do while he was alive. Bow-chicka-wow-wow.
He takes his shirt off and they get hot and heavy fast. This scene would be sexy if Denny hadn't died 2 SEASONS ago! This foreplay scene is so dramatic that we get a very early "GREYS ANATOMY" introduction.
At the hospital, the Major is waiting outside in the rain as Yang approaches. The Major is visibly agitated and asks Yang if she is there for him. Yes, actually she went to medical school and moved to Seattle just so she could run into you at Seattle Grace. No narcissist, she is answering a page. The Major is impressed she made it there before the ambulance. My guess is that the ambulance tried Mercy West, a hospital in the top 10, first and they were all full. Yang probably had time to grab a number 3 at Mickey D's and still make it there with time to spare. The post make-out tension between these two is physically painful.
Meredith is at home in the bathroom reading her mom's journals when she is joined by Sadie. Side note: not sure if your mother's memoirs are the best bathroom reading material. I prefer something short and sweet, like an US Weekly. It's less commitment. Meredith shares with Sadie that the journals reveal a side of her mom that is likable. When she wasn't verbally abusing Meredith or having a 20 year affair with a married man, she was funny, intense and intelligent. Or the opposite of Meredith. Meredith compares her mom to Christina, but Sadie interjects that isn't the highest of compliments.
The girls discuss how Sadie needs an intern ally, and Sadie votes for Lexie. Probably because she is the only intern who has more than 2 lines an episode. Who wants an intern BFF who doesn't get any story lines! Meredith is not a fan of this idea because Sadie is the party girl bisexual and Lexie was raised in a normal home with posters on her walls and a YM subscription.
Yang interrupts the girltalk by signaling the sparkly pager (I forgot about that) to let Meredith know about the appendectomy trauma on its way in. Meredith points out Yang's loyalty for doing this as she heads to the hospital. Sadie joins her hoping to get in some time in the skills lab.
As they head down the hall, they hear some serious moans coming from Izzie's bedroom. Sadie is about to go in and join her and Alex, when Alex comes out of a different room, which raises the question, who's making Izzie moan like that? Meredith freaks out trying to figure out who is in the room with Izzie. Seriously, she looks more stressed than Alex does. She yells out "Derrick?" just to make sure. Because obviously if Izzie is having sex, it's not going to be random, it has to be with one of the 10 regulars. Nice trust issues, Skeletor.

Great re-cap, extra funny this week! The plot line with Denny may suck but the jokes had me laughing out loud!

OMG, February! No no no no no! I've already reached my limit of being skeeved by this story. It has made me hate Denny, that overly possessive bastard. Where is the Ghost Whisperer when you need her? (Having her own problems with a dead guy, actually.) I wish Izzie would just ask him "Why are you doing this?" and have him give her a straight answer. This way, it just makes him seem like a pig. And why come back after so long? Because Shonda Rimes can't think of anything else, I guess.

Love Denny. I just starting watching Grey's this summer, and he was the one that hooked me in. Now that he is back, it is almost bittersweet. I love to see him, (and ohhh if only the lighting was better when he took off his shirt!), but I cannot help to think that he isn't real. HOWEVER I am interested to see where this is going, or HOW it can continue to go on. . . The Denny jokes were very amusing, I too wondered where it was that he needed to go in order to get out of bed. I should have known it would have been facebook. Love the recaps. I have been reading them all season, so I thought it was about time I registered and gave you due credit!

"Izzie, I was just..." but she interrupts him. He was just what? What were you doing Denny? You were just in the bathroom? You were just changing your Facebook status to "Denny is not dead"? What do ghosts do when they slip out of bed in the night?"
haha, i love these recaps! the izzie/denny storyline is soo stupid..but atleast we're gettin lots of laughs out of it :)
im so pissed, the ONE week i dont watch greys on ABC but on ctv, i miss the lost commercial...but i saw it during the ama's :) so its all good now.

TWSS, you always pull the extra funny out of this show. Thanks.
I never thought I'd say that the 2nd least believable storyline on this show is the ghost sex. How in the ShondaLand are all these women falling in love with GEORGE? In real life, a dude like George is that guy who pines after a woman who doesn't know he exists (See Season 1) - or the gay sidekick. TR Knight has zero chemistry with every woman they've paired him with on this show. I really wish they'd stop putting us through this.
I also wish the GA writers would Sloan + Callie already.
Fehrever, you just started watching GA? You poor thing. These last two years really haven't done the show justice.

This was the funniest thing I have read in a long time!

TWSS, thanks for the shout out!! That made my crappy day at work. Denny is dead and gone please leave it alone. I too did not understand the fight between Mer and Christina. I looked at my viewing partner and said "Did I miss something?" I guess it was all that pent up rage for listening to Mer complain for the entire life of this show. Watch out though Christina...another icicle might puncture your abdomen.

Denny is hotter than 3/4 of the "romantic" leads on this show. No wonder they found a (tenuous) way to bring him back.
I completely agree with blahblah's assessment of George/TR Knight. He's like watching paint dry. But after the big Isaiah Washington dust-up, they aren't likely to write George out.
I would love a Sloan/Callie pairing. They're the two best things about this show.
Please kill off Sadie...and make it Deth's fault. Write 'em both out. (We have another Grey now to justify the name.)

Okay - while reading your amazing recap, I was once more depressed by the idea that you recappers are not paid appropriately. I wish there was some way you could be properly compensated - especially in today's scary economy.
This was an outstanding recap. Thanks!

Your recaps are always hilarious, and point out some of what I might have missed during the show; I love them.
Just one question - I did not discover your recaps until this season so maybe I missed the explanation behind it (if there was one), but why are you calling Derek 'Derrick'??
Like I said, if it is intentional then I'd love to know the joke behind it. But if it is just a type, please correct it - IT DRIVES ME BAT SHIT CRAZY to see his name spelled out this way. Thanks, and keep the laughs coming.

HA! @ Yanksfan re: Cristina getting re-punctured by the Karma Icicle. I feel her pain, though. She has been a very good friend to Meredith, what with the endless whining about her should-they-or-shouldn't-they rship with Derek, mom's death, almost-suicide, etc. Does Meredith EVER ask Cristina how her day went? How she's feeling post-Burke? While funny and lovely at times, their friendship is so lopsided it's sickening.
I'm with Catty about killing Meredith off for good. Although, that would leave us with a permanent Lexie to justify the title. Ugh. Or maybe...the new interns can finally get a human body to dissect in the form of *drumroll* GREY'S ANATOMY! Too morbid? Sorry.
fire@will, wait a minute...TVGASM recappers don't get paid? WTF? I'm voting for a Recapper Bailout this instant! No wonder some take awhile to post their recaps. We're lucky to get them at all...

Thank you TWSS! Your recaps are where I turn when I need some lol funny. Your recap was again dead on. I also appreciated the poo shuffle story. Here I was thinking I'm the only one who does that.
