Another lost soul, Little Grey, sits alone in the hospital. Sloan sees her and tells McD that if he doesn't take Lexie home, Sloan will. I'm sure that would give her life some clarity.
And the final lost soul sits on Yang's front step as she leaves for the day...er, night. Yang approaches to find the Major camped out on her doorstep. This scene might be more meaningful if he had said more than 4 lines this episode. He doesn't really know why he came to Yang's, but he doesn't want to leave, but he doesn't think it's appropriate to go inside. With those choices out, they opt to just sit on the stairs together. At a loss for words, Major says 4 words that are a guaranteed get out of conversation free card for a man. "I think you're beautiful" He just earned at least 2 more episodes of silence.
I'm only angry because I have no teeth.
Grey comes home to see that Derrick has brought in another stray, Lexie. At least somebody will keep Sadie's bed warm while she's in the hospital. Alex and Izzie get home (didn't Izzie JUST get to the hospital?) and Izzie admits that she is a total basket case. Alex doesn't care that she's batshit crazy, he is used to that and he isn't breaking up with her and isn't going anywhere.
Alex invites Izzie to come to bed with him and walks into his room. Izzie turns and apologizes to Denny, follows Alex in, and Denny forgives her. This ghost sex thing might not be so bad. You can't get caught cheating, you can act crazy and possessive over the guy, but then the ghost has no claims over you and you can have sex with other people! I'm totally buying a Ouija board.
Not only am I seeing dead people, but I put my shirt on backwards today.
So there you have it. I read an interview in Entertainment Weekly with Shondra Rhimes saying that Izzie's hallucinations are not a brain tumor. She also says that this love story will play out on screen and Denny is around until at least February. Super...One good note about this episode is that at least it strayed from the usual formulaic Grey's Anatomy. So, it had that one thing going for it....
And Izzie proved that, just because you can't see it, doesn't mean you won't feel it...That'sWhatSheSaid

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.
