The Doctors perform round 2 of the experimental procedure and Izzie takes her front row seat next to the patient. He begins to flip out again, but this time Izzie is ready. After getting an encouraging nod from "Denny" who has again shown up for surgery, Izzie finally steps up to bat and is able to talk him through. After she saves him, Denny disappears. Hopefully dead Denny hits up Florence or Cannes. Stop frequenting Seattle Grace in your after life, freak!
Yang's dead person surgery is interrupted by a page from Lexie. The unidentified trauma patient is flat lining and Lexie can't save him because Yang has been such a crappy teacher. Alex follows Yang up there, because the trauma patient was part of the dead person trade and is now his. They fight over the patient and House overhears.
House flips out and demands they get away from the patients. He is sick and tired of the doctors treating the patients like nameless object and feeling nothing towards them. He and Izzie should TOTALLY hook up. They could cry over patients together! He finally gives them the ass reaming that they all deserve. I've never understood the fighting over patients. Anytime I go to the doctor they act like they don't even want to be there! He basically calls them out for being selfish, disrespectful little punks.
But I called shotgun!
Back to people with hearts, Bailey and McD pull the old man away from his wife. He was unable to stop trying to resuscitating her so Bailey takes over to comfort him. Bailey seeing the love in the man's eyes can't stop either. She continues until McD takes over and finally stops. This scene seriously made me bawl. Old people in love haven't made me cry this much since The Notebook.
Sloan, still set on cracking Yang approaches her one final time. After getting rejected again he lets her in on the gig. When he informs her that he was hitting on her all day, she cracks up and gives him the not even if you changed your name to Burke and spewed homophobic slurs. McS is pissed and calls Yang 2 Buck Chuck, not single malt scotch. House overhears this and is way over the petty bullshit of Seattle Grace and pretty much gives his resignation to the Chief. He is done working with this group of self involved pricks.
Bailey, after taking part in a heartbreaking goodbye, finds the army of the dead that has delighted and entertained the residents all day. As pissed as Bailey is, at least it wasn't House! He isn't so keen on the whole "treating patients/people like anonymous life sized "Anatomy Janes." But Bailey still reams them a new one. She reminds them that each body was somebody's somebody, and that nobody deserves this type of treatment. And that any sentence with four 'body's' in it rocks.
What did I tell you about eating my food from the fridge!?
Apparently the unidentified man has a wife who has shown up. Yang let's House know and House is convinced that heartless Yang didn't even take the time to find out his name and realize he is a person and not just a surgery. Yang tells House a story about her father dying when she was little. They were in a car accident and she holding his heart when it stopped beating. She tells House that, that is why she is here and that is why she is good. Oh, and by the way, the patients name was Tom.
When she leaves the room, House concludes that she is a single malt scotch and the look in his eye proves that Yang's drought will end a little sooner than he had originally anticipated.
The old man leaves the hospital alone. O'Mally is still working on the robot, who he FINALLY saves...after a FULL day of working on him. What, no pigs to kill? House comes in and tells the "dummy" that he takes back what he said when resigning. He's ready to join the drama of Seattle Grace, not bail on it. The conversation alerts George to the fact that the Chief has been f-ing with him all day. Chief congratulates him on a nice save.
This would upset me, but I had sex with the robot 2 hours ago.
After her army of the dead crashed and burned, Lexie opts to join her fellow interns and poke each other rather than dead people. Um..ew?

"Meanwhile, House, Yang, Torres and Lexie are working on the unidentified trauma patient who is in awful shape. Yang instructs Lexie to go prepare the morgue. House is super pissed and again I agree with him."
I was applauding House at that point. I usually laugh at most of these shows, but that scene hit too close to home. My father was very ill last spring (and passed away April 5th.) During his long treatment I dragged an intern, an administrator, and several nurses into the hall to yell at them on different occasions for not being circumspect about what they said within earshot of my father. They couldn't know for sure how much he was hearing and understanding, and they had no business risking making things worse for him.
I hope House continues to kick Yang's selfish butt all over the hospital.

Favorite line - I know...I thought there'd be razors in heaven too.
Awesome recap!!

Excellent recap!
Goodbye Hahn. Glad to see you go!
I'm so over the Denny storyline. Move on please.
I thought the scene with the Chief messing wiht George was hilarious. I loved it when George finally saved 'Stan' and was all victorious and then finds out it was the Chief the whole time.

Funny, funny recap!
"When he informs her that he was hitting on her all day, she cracks up and gives him the not even if you changed your name to Burke and spewed homophobic slurs."
Hmm....we have no proof that Isaiah actually did this. It's still George's word against Burke's. Btw, this show already jumped the shark when ABC fired Isaiah. It left a huge Burke-less hole that was temporarily filled with annoying, hateful Hahn. See ya, McBitchy Cardio Doc!
Cattyfan, that's sad about your dad. I always wondered if doctors discuss inappropriate things during surgery in real life like they do on this show. Sometimes, doctors can be really...jaded and tactless.
"Stan" is the best new character this show has seen in 2 seasons. He'll probably be getting a spin-off...

Another fine recap.
We have our first black President - so can we also bring Burke back?
There were some very good scenes, well played - and props to director Joanna Kerns (and a host of other people who normally don't get credit).
I liked Yang's back story scene - obviously, House did, too.
If they are going to bring back Denny, why not go full soap op and make him a long lost twin - separated at birth - who is suing Izzie for the 8 mill Denny left her. Now THAT would be qualilty television!

Ok, long time reader first time poster...This is total BS about Hahn and getting kicked off the show. Also, how did Hahn not realize that the big huge state of the art clinic is named after Denny Duquette? Sloppy writing!

I was so relieved when Izzie stepped up and helped out the heart patient, and then looked up and Denny was gone. I figured that was it, she was no longer haunted by his memory and had assuaged her guilt somewhat. But, no!!!!!
During last night's episode, I got to the point that, whenever Denny appeared, I'd say, "Go away, motherfucker!!" I am so over him. If I am the average Grey's viewer, they are losing a lot of their audience by bringing him back. We can only hope that we see the end of him next week.
Otherwise, the show was great. (Of course, the ending was weird and contrived. I don't know why they did it this way, especially if they knew Hahn was leaving earlier.)
Major Sexy rocks!

Did I miss the part where you decided to call him House? I know his name is Hunt, but are you drawing parallels with that other TV doctor?

unwise...I think it's shorthand for "quirky, socially inept, but creative and brilliant doctor."

or perhaps "scruffy with slilghtly wavy hair."
