Izzie gets a 911 page and tells Denny she has to go. She makes him swear he won't go anywhere and he agrees, but secretly crosses his fingers behind his back because you know he's back on FaceBook as soon as the door closes. "Denny is basking in the post-sex afterglow." Typical male.
The Boys Club is working on the sleepwalker together, and begins discussing his issues, but it's obvious they are talking about themselves and their own problems. George throws out that maybe it wasn't the sleepwalkers fault that he didn't know what was going on in his own house. Major House says that maybe words come difficult and it's hard to say what you are feeling. McD chimes in that maybe it's not your fault if you aren't on the cover of People's Most Beautiful man every year, maybe if you have a movie opening Thanksgiving Day named after a continent you are a shoe-in. Even when they are talking about their patients, they are talking about themselves.
Sloan finds and relates to sleepwalker's daughter. He is super kind and helps her fall asleep. This scene is supposed to be sweet but it comes off a little McCreepy. Especially since earlier in the episode McD and Sloan had a bro-servation about Little Grey, and how Sloan wants to do her now that McD has told him not too.
So, how old ya kid?
Due to the almost-Sadie slaying, the Chief has arrived to talk with Grey and Yang. He tells them he is impressed by how they handled it. He is just about to award them both with gold stars when Lexie bursts in and begs for mercy on behalf of Grey and Yang. She says they should have stopped when Yang told them too. Suddenly, the tables turn and everyone has forgotten that the interns almost killed the newbie. But why didn't Yang do anything earlier??
The next scene gets thoroughly frustrating. Yang and Grey face off in a separate room about like 14 different things. The fight jumps around with serious ADD so I've simply transcribed it below since they transitioned with little-to-no rhyme or reason.
M. You knew and didn't stop it?
Y: I shut it down!
M. Obviously you didn't! Sadie almost died and Lexie almost lost her job (ALMOST?? You can't do anything to get fired here!)
Y: Sadie did it to herself and don't act like you care about Lexie.
M: I care about my job (read myself and only myself and how everything around me affects...myself)
Y: Just because you are sleeping with an attendee doesn't mean you are one, Get off your high horse Skeletor.
M: Here we go again, ALWAYS about Derrick. (read:Which is really ok, I love talking about him)
Y: You didn't have my back in there!
M: What did you want me to say?
Y: You have the chief's ear and you let me take full blame even though we all had interns in there and I listen to every miserable and boring aspect of your life every day!
Post argument and a GLORIOUS LOST commercial, the residents are anxiously waiting for Bailey to handle the interns. She refuses and tells them that disciplining the interns is their job now, so nut up and get it done.
The residents lead all the interns into Sadie's room and make them give a full update on her case. The residents then lay down the law and put them all on full-blown probation. Ohhhh, probation! They cannot go into the OR and nobody has any respect for them now. And no TV after 8pm and they must wait 30 minutes after eating before they go swimming. They might as well go work in the cafeteria because that is as close as they'll be getting to the patients for a long time
As they are receiving their sentencing, one of the interns whispers how Izzie still gets respect. Well, that's brilliant intern. While your boss is telling you not to sneeze for the next 6 months, you mention how their girlfriend killed her ex-fiancée? And as if things couldn't get worse...
She's right behind me isn't she?
Callie is mending elsewhere in the hospital as Bailey approaches her. They begin to reflect on their lives and both realize they are desperately looking for something. For a change, for new hope. They just don't know where to find it. They are both lost souls.Lost soul Sadie is approached by Grey in her hospital room. As her boss, Grey thinks Sadie doesn't have what it takes to be a good doctor because she is obviously a moron. As her friend, she wants to know what the hell is going on with her life. Couldn't you just be a cutter?

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.
