Realizing their interns are MIA, Grey and Yang begin to look for them. The intern who bailed walks by with enough chocolate to fill Celebrity Fit Club's craft services cart. Yang interrogates her to find out where the rest of the interns are, but the portly lass proves that she's not a tattletale. That, and her mouth is full of Snickers. Yang steals her chocolate and sends her on her way while Meredith puts a "kick me" sign on her back. Bullies. Yang begins to wonder if the interns are still running their IV practice club and heads off to look for them.
Don't come back without your lunch money!
As Grey stands there alone, a very scared looking Lexie approaches her and asks if they can talk.
Yang finds the no-name intern, still under anesthesia, in bed charting. She can't be too mad at him, he is at work charting at like 5 in the morning. But since its Yang, she tells him to get his ass out of bed and get to work. He stands up to her (metaphorically, of course, since he has a tube in his penis and can't feel his legs) and says no, he won't. She begins to laugh at him and approaches slowly like a villain in a Disney movie asking why he won't help. Unable to hide the truth, he spills the beans that he is literally incapacitated.
Across town, Izzie is doing something that does make her slightly more normal than the rest. At 5Am, she is in bed, the same thing I would want MY doctor doing. However, she is spooning with a ghost, proving that nobody's perfect. She tells Denny that she can hear his heart beat, which is weird because she saw them remove it during the autopsy. Yes, that is why this is weird.
Lexie leads Grey and Yang down to Sadie, where an intern has a suction straw inside of her and there is blood everywhere. They instantly begin performing on Sadie, and Grey tells Lexie to go get Bailey immediately and stop acting so terrified.
The sleepwalker talks with the McHotties trio and they tell him he might have some type of epilepsy. The sleepwalker argues that nothing is wrong with him and that its not that serious of a problem. Um, dude? You walked through a window. A two-story window. His poor super-sleepy daughter begins to cry as she confesses that he sleepwalks all the time, and thinks she is the cause of his stress. Sloan tells her that it isn't her, it's the epilepsy. Ahhh, her first glimpse into the "it's not you, it's me" speech. We all remember our first.
Moments later, Izzie wakes up in the bed alone. She panics and screams for Denny. He comes and she yells at him that she thought he was gone. He follows up with, "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? Izzie keeps yelling at Denny for coming back. She had a great life and now she is stuck in her bedroom with crazy hallucination sex.
So, is this a bad time to ask about make-up ghost sex?
Bailey, Meredith and Yang begin surgery on Sadie. Bailey proves why she is such a bad ass teacher as she calmly talks Yang and Grey through the surgery. They work together as a great team and fix all the intern f-ups.
After the surgery, the interns are lined up together on the floor waiting for their sentencing. George rounds the corner and asks Lexie what happened. Maybe talk to your OWN interns, doctor! Way to be a super teacher. He tells Lexie he could have helped, and Lexie goes off on him about how this had nothing to do with him, for once she did something for herself and not for George. (actually she did it to impress Sadie, but whatev) I know Lexie is supposed to look like a bad ass who is standing up for herself in this scene, but she just looks annoying and like one of those girls who says she's making a stand against a dude when you know she is really only doing it to impress the dude.
After Lexie leaves, the non-nark, portly intern tells George that Lexie is like, totally in love with him. How could he not notice all the "I heart George" doodles on her patient charts?
In love with me? Another one? But I've barely even been in this season.

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!

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.
