After a week off, Grey's Anatomy was back in fine form. As promised, it was a pretty light-hearted episode. I didn't think the writing was quite as good as it's been in recent weeks, but it was pretty entertaining nonetheless. And as an added bonus there was NUDIE SANDRA OH.
In her profound voiceover of this week, Meredith declares that people LOVE games. Basketball, shuffleboard, hide the salami, what have you. But what's Meredith's favorite game? No, not crushing the souls of vulnerable, doe-eyed interns with her insatiable sexual appetite—it's knitting. Yep, the old bag is sitting in the doctors' neighborhood bar KNITTING. He-Shepherd tells her that she looks a little weird making a scarf at the bar. I'd add "hunched," "bony," and "Montgomery Burnsian," but hey, I was never big on yarn.
Anyway, our old bag says she's taken a vow of celibacy—and drinking is bad for celibacy because it makes her lose her judgment and the next thing she knows she's flinging her tatas around like Josephine Baker and breaking men's penises, hearts, and/or marital vows. She-Shepherd pops in to do her whole folksy empathetic bit, but Meredith just keeps complaining that all the men she meets are unavailable or otherwise ill-suited. So instead she's turned her attention to WOOL SWEATERS. Great, next week she'll probably be a full-blown lesbo, making pottery and petting the cats and wearing burlap bras.
What's up, SCOLIOSIS
Back at the hospital, Izzie too is knitting, beside Denny's bed while they play Scrabble. She complains that George isn't the same anymore since Meredith messed him up. Now he has bad hair and is making bedroom eyes at this Dr. Callie Torres character—and what's worse, Callie is "not a name." Yeah, last time I checked neither is Izzie, IZZIE. Denny ignores this and plays the triple word score "mount" for 69 points. Subtle! Izzie says she too took the celibacy vow, for whatever batshit reason the mothership fed her. Denny uses this to launch into all manner of innuendo about boobies and panties, like he does every time Izzie is around. Izzie plays hard to get, but she's about as convincing as, say, Al Reynolds at his bachelor party.
Uh-oh, looks like the mothership sent some static
At Burke's apartment, he, Cristina, George, and Callie are playing that game "Celebrity" where you put famous people's names in a hat and have to get your team to guess them via clues and charades. Cristina, as one would expect, is ultracompetitive and judges George and Callie harshly for using fecal metaphors to guess the name of FEMA director Michael Brown. Burke, pimped out with a glass of red wine, tells Cristina to calm down cause it's just a game—you know, like her old favorite, "Pin the Polyp on the Duodenum." But Cristina won't have it, so to put her in her place, Burke pretends not to know the answer to the next really easy name that comes out of the hat. Thwarted Cristina proves to be HI-LARIOUS to watch.
Prestige... decadence... ego-driven... PASSION!!!!
