Last week's Grey's Anatomy featured not one, but two doctors crazy in love. They were so crazy in love that they decided to ask the women that they were dating to marry them. Both of the marriage proposals were very unexepcted, and judging by the initial reactions of the two women in question, I thought that Dr. Torres and Dr. Yang were going to turn Dr. O'Malley and Dr. Burke from crazy in love to shit out of luck. And all of that would have been the most exciting thing to happen in the episode if Ellis Grey hadn't shrugged off Alzheimer's and suddenly became more lucid than anybody who can actually stay awake to watch a whole night of The Grammys. Yes, Meredith's mom is back, and better than ever.

The willowy voice of Ellen Pompeo once again greeted us this week, telling us how surgeons must always prepare for the worst-case scenario, because the best just doesn't happen. Then again, the difference between a best-case scenario and a worst-case scenario is sometimes a matter of opinion. If you are Christina or Callie, does having your boyfriend propose marriage unexpectedly give you a worst-case scenario or a best-case scenario?

And even more strange, if you are Meredith, what do you say about your mother waking up? It's one thing if there were some medication or a surgery involved because then at least she could have been prepared. Instead, Meredith comes in to find out that her mother woke up, and challenging as it is to live with a family member who has such an aggressive form of Alzheimer's, it's not like Meredith's mother was that easy to live with in the first place. She was a great doctor, but it seemed like she left a path of destruction in the wake of anybody who tried to get close to her.

When Meredith meets her mom, we learn that she has a memory loss, but she only thinks that two months have passed. Ellis starts talking to Meredith, who she believes has flown off to Europe instead of going to medical school. One would think that she would be happy to hear that her daughter is now a surgical intern, but instead, she has some sort of seizure and is rushed to the hospital. It's almost as if they needed a convenient way for Meredith's now lucid mother to meet all of her friends and embarrass her. And think about Webber? Now that Adele has dissed him, will he decide to spend more time with Meredith's mother?

The final piece of big news from last week was that Izzie decided to donate 8 million dollars to Bailey's new clinic, which was just enough coin for Bailey to name it the "Denny Duquette Memorial Clinic". This clinic idea is nice, and I like how it can give Bailey something to do, but like I said last time, it is a little bit of stretch. When ER did it, it seemed much more plausible, because people without insurance or a primary doctor often see the ER when they are sick. If somebody doesn't get their pap smear, they are usually a few degrees of separation away from seeing the surgeon.

To me, it doesn't seem like it's a smart use of resources to put surgical residents and interns in the free clinic. Yes, they need volunteers, but if the surgeons are your best doctors, why put them there? It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to take somebody's temperature, tell them they have the flu and that they need to drink lots of water. I think a lot of the surgical interns were thinking the same thing when Bailey told them that they would all have to do their time in the clinic.
