A few of our interns might have hit that beautiful self-destruct button: Cristina learns something shocking about herself, Meredith is tiring herself out with her all-night sex and sexless Izzie is losing it. Bailey is also on the look-out for new ways to torture Meredith. Self-destruction here we come.

          Believe it or not, but the whole hospital is going to learn about Meredith and McDreamy sooner or later. Meredith knows it. But she can’t control her feelings. If she could, she’d stay away from Derek. This week, she was being attacked by Izzie. Now, I can understand Izzie being a bit “moody” because she’s not getting any sex, but it felt out of character. Her outburst in the locker room was unexpected. Although I agree with her, she has no reasoning behind it. Derek chose Meredith once over Izzie and that is that. It hasn’t happened five times. Not yet anyway. But I think I’ve made a lot of assumptions about Izzie’s nature. I’m turning out to be wrong. I assumed she was the caring type. Does she just care about her patients? I would never have thought her to be a back-stabber trying to bring down one of her few friends. It might have just been out of character. She’s not getting any sex. But if there’s one thing I love about Izzie is the way she apologizes. You can’t stand being angry at her for more than an hour. When Meredith gets back home, Izzie has baked a cake. She offers Meredith a piece and out of nowhere asks her if the sex is good. I started cracking up. You’ve got to love people like that.

          I’m liking the way Meredith is handling the situation. She isn’t complaining to Bailey about her workload. She is definitely not running to her attendings for help. She knows this is how it’s going to be. Everyone’s got some loops. I even liked the fact she challenged Bailey. Meredith has her mother’s fire, although she doesn’t want to admit it. She really doesn’t want to admit it. She’s hardcore and she definitely deserves to be in the program. She knows it; Bailey knows it. Why do you think Bailey is making her work the way she is? She knows she has to teach Meredith a lesson of life. But so far, Meredith’s strength of character has prevented her from falling apart. I commend her because this is as hard as it could be. I also realized that no one in the hospital knows what’s going on with Ellis. They assume that Meredith is an opportunistic bitch for sleeping with her attending. They don’t even acknowledge the idea that Meredith might need Derek.

          George had the most interesting story though. When the anesthesiologist, Dr. Taylor, passes by, George smells something funny. Another doctor picks it off and says he drinks bourbon. Do I think it was right the way George came out with the discovery? No. First off, Dr. Taylor outranks him. He might be swindling scum, but he still outranks him. Now, we have to take in account the fact that George was intimidated by Dr. Shepherd. I still don’t accept that as a reason. I’m hard. I know. George should have taken Derek aside and told him what he thought. If Shepherd had been an ass about it or had done the right thing is irrelevant; they wouldn’t have risked the little girl’s life. Shepherd really came close today. Jamie (the little girl) was about to wake up during the surgery. That stupid Taylor falls asleep in the OR. Who does that?

Dear Diary

George: I can’t decide if I like Shepherd or not. He apologized to me, telling me I was absolutely right. I just had to say something. And now, I know he’s an honourable man. I don’t feel like he’ll hurt Meredith. He really does love her. I just want to make sure. He told me about the code between doctors. He says he was responsible for the girl. He wasn’t responsible and that’s what he told me. Everything worked out okay. They saved the girl and Dr. Taylor I’m guessing will be put on probation. He should not be aloud in an OR again. I started worrying when I saw Jamie slowly waking up. You don’t see something like that every day. So you panic. She would have woken up screaming. She would have panicked. The worst could have happened. I don’t believe in what they say: whatever gets you through the day. He should never have been drinking.

Izzie: I should never have said what I said. So what she met him before. That seriously means nothing to me. Only except if she’s falling for him which would really suck for her because that would make me more jealous that I already am. I don’t pity her. I’m not getting any damn sex. I didn’t think it would be affecting me the way it is. But it seriously is. Whatever. We made up. I gave her some of my extraordinary cake. I have to admit it. I am a very good baker. We are all good at something. I’m good at baking. You know what: If Meredith wants to have sex with him, that shouldn’t be my problem. In fact, he only favoured her once. I can get over that. At least one of us is getting some. It better be me soon.

Today’s Baileyisms

-          “Glad to see he’s still stupid.”

-          “Apparently I’m not the only one with loops.”

-          “Half this hospital knows your business. Flu isn't the only virus spreading around here.”

Quotable Quotes

-          George: “You get any sleep?”

Izzie: “She should oil the bedsprings, as a courtesy, or at least buy a padded headboard.”

-          Meredith: “Sorry, I have a sex life.”

Alex: “Don’t apologize, embrace it, share it. Count me in.”

-          Burke: “Seriously, I’ll give you a ride home.”

Cristina: “This isn’t going to make me go home! You go home!”

Burke: “But I feel fine?”

-          George: “Hey, have you seen Shepherd?”

Izzie: “Not as up close as Meredith has.”

-          George: “It’s not her fault, it’s Shepherd’s. He’s an attending, he should know better. He’s taking advantage of her.”

Izzie: It didn’t exactly sound like anything was happening against her will last night.”

-          George: “Yang. I’m scrubbing in on a hemospherectomy with Shepherd.”

Cristina: “Get out! I would kill for that.” She would kill for anything.

-          Meredith: “You don’t know this yet, but life isn’t supposed to be like this. It’s not supposed to be this hard.” Your life is.

-          Izzie: “You’re all, uh, mushy and warm and full of secret feelings.”

Meredith: “I hate you! And I hate your cake!”

Izzie: “No, the cake is good.”

Some Final Notes

-          George and Izzie are jealous Meredith is having sex in the morning. They comment on her bedsprings. I love those two.

-          Ever Carradine played the role of Athena, the crazy girlfriend, whose keys are stuck in her boyrfriend’s oesophagus. She just didn’t shut up. At one point, Izzie takes her keys ad just tells her to leave. That helped all of us.

-           Claire’s story was an eye-opener. She got a gatric bypass in Mexico so she didn’t have to fat. She wanted to please her mother. Speaking of Dina Rice, I honestly felt like slapping her every time I saw her. She was so obnoxious and just plain mean. Her daughter has to change her whole diet plan and live like a different person for the rest of her life and she sits there screaming at her because she wanted her to lose weight the right way. What a bitch.

-          Little Jamie’s brain is half-dead. Halh her brain is dead. I was just shocked when I saw this. How is this poor girl going to grow up? Derek says she’ll be fine, but I don’t know about that.

-          Our other patient, Digsby, purposely gets shot so he can have more scars. He dies after suffering too much pain.

-          Alex really grew to like Digsby. He was also from Iowa. They are both wrestlers.

-          I loved the scene where Burke offers Cristina to take her home and she responds with, “You go home.”

-          There is a flu going all over the hospital.

-          What was Mrs. Rice’s problem with telling her daughter she’s always taking the easy way out? If I slapped you, would that be the easy way out?

-          Claire had an abcess under her diaphragm.

-          What was up with Shepherd when he orders George to get him a CT then embarrasses George in front of Jamie’s parents when he says he wants an MRI?

-          How disgusting was Alex when he was eating a doughnut like a pig and talking about sex in the snack area? I was just laughing.

-          Meredith got Claire’s insides all over her face. That must be an interesting smell to wake up to in the morning.

-          I’m glad Mr. Rice finally told his wife to shut up.

-          I loved when Meredith says she hates Izzie and her cake. It was a perfect moment and probably their first step towards being friends.

-          I think I might have forgotten something. CHRISTINA IS PREGNANT!!! She’s pregnant. I would have never guessed. Of all people, I would think Burke to be the safe sex guy. Eye-opener.

-          I liked how Meredith and Derek decide to sleep rather than have sex all night. At least Izzie will sleep.

Great episode. But because I’m rating harder than usual, 3 stars.
