Just when Mer/Der were getting really close, we have to learn
that he’s married. Her name is Addison Shepherd. I honestly didn’t see this coming. Even though I should have.
As for the episode, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. This is the best episode up to date and once again, that’s saying a lot.
I nearly died laughing with the syphilis outbreak. Our first
scene shows George discovering he has syphilis; he is absolutely shocked. This is where the problem comes in: George is dating
Olivia, the nurse. We all know that George doesn’t get around much so we have to turn our attention to her. This only
brought laughs and more laughs. George is obviously a shy guy. In the staircase, he tries telling her the truth. Accidentally,
he calls her a prostitute. Olivia didn’t seem bothered probably because she knows
it’s true. That was rude but I can’t stand her. Well it turns out that half the hospital has syphilis. Meredith
and Derek are not the only ones getting it on. We know about Cristina and Burke, George and Olivia, and Alex and Olivia. I’m
telling you, this girl really does get around. The safe-sex demonstration was hysterical. I recall Patricia from the second
episode of the season, The First Cut is the Deepest. She was the sex-obsessed secretary
that wanted to see the rapist’s penis. It seems she got her dosage of pleasure by putting a condom on a banana. I was
crying it was so funny.
Dr. Webber had a lot of things to think of this week. During
a surgery, he drops a few instruments. After some tests, Shepherd deduces he has a tumor pressing against his optical nerve.
He, of course, wants to keep his condition secret. Something like this getting out would be horrific for the hospital. Right
when he learns he has a tumor, the syphilis outbreak is announced. This wasn’t a great day for our favourite chief.
Anyway, he pulls through. Everyone’s initial fear was that he might go blind from the surgery. He wakes up just in time
to see Meredith and Derek kissing. He had to wake up then. He tells Meredith that
if her mother was here, she would advise against it. Meredith says she would say it’s the best thing that ever happened
to her. I agree. She’s so happy. It shows. Now I just want to see how this probable new love triangle is going to play
out.
How can he do this to Meredith? Is that what McDreamy was
going to tell her in the reception area before Addison walked in? I’m hoping that’s what he was going to tell her. For one, Meredith did nothing wrong. She
knew nothing about this married woman. Obviously something happened between the two to make Derek leave the way he did. He
said he sold his practice and everything he had to come and live out in Seattle. Does
Webber know what happened? What happened? Anyway, I love Kate Walsh and I really hope she’ll be part of the cast next
season. I first saw her on the 100th episode of CSI and I thought she
was amazing. Except she was playing a man. Here’s hoping she’ll be
more feminine.
A few scenes that deserve attention: When Izzie and Cristina
are doing the autopsy on Mr. Franklin, Bailey comes in pissed. This has to be the best scene of the whole season. I couldn’t
stop laughing. Chandra Wilson did a great job with just yelling her lights out. Also, George punched Alex when he learns he
slept with Olivia. That’s not good.
Dear Diary
George: I got syphilis
and I might have ruined my only chance with Olivia. It’s actually better. She slept with Alex. Do I really want to be
with a girl like that? It’s just that I haven’t been with someone for such a long time. What was the big deal
with just a nice relationship? She has to go and give syphilis, like I didn’t have enough to deal with. What is it with
cute nurses and STDs? So I tackled Alex to the ground. Literally. Thank God the girls were there because I would have punched
him more. I wished I had. Before that, I had gone through the most embarrassing time when Alex was giving me the penicillin
shot. Actually, Alex didn’t even give it to me; Meredith did. Then, Izzie and Cristina came in staring at my behind
comparing to a baby’s. I didn’t really enjoy that.
Cristina: So I found out
today that I was Burke’s first. I don’t know how to respond to that. It seems weird, no? But I’m glad I
don’t have to worry about that. My only problem is my very pregnant stomach that’s going to start growing. I want
the baby removed. I can’t keep it. They want me to go to counseling. I don’t give a damn, you know what I mean.
I know my options and I know I’m getting this baby out of me on the 16th. No and I won’t tell Burke.
I would be insane to do that. Burke would never opt for termination. That’s just unBurke. I can’t do that. He
won’t find out. On the 16th, everything will be back to normal. It has to be.
Today’s Baileyism
-
“I hate a bad liar.”
-
“Not only did you disregard the family’s
wishes, you broke law! You could be arrested for assault! Do you like jail? The hospital can be sued. I could love my license,
my job! I like my job! Did you think about this before you started cutting open a dead man’s body? I could seriously
kick both of your asses now.”
Quotable Quotes
- Alex: “I know I’m pretty
to look at and all George, but back up.”
- George: “I don’t know how this happened.”
Izzie:
“Of course you do. God, Olivia must be really getting around.”
George:
“Olivia, she’s not like that.”
Izzie:
“It’s the new millennium, George, the only people who aren’t like that are the Amish…and apparently
you.”
- George: “God, he’s got an ovary?”
Alex:
“Gives a whole new meaning to metro sexual.”
- Alex: “Syph-boy. It’s got a nice ring
to it; kind of like Super-boy, only diseased.”
- Alex: “Everybody’s got a secret, just
be glad yours is out in the open.”
Cristina: “Oh yeah Alex, what’s yours?”
Alex: “Show me yours and I’ll show you mine.”
- Cristina: “You know, I think he really likes Typhoid
Mary.”
Meredith: “Not many budding relationships survive a good dose of VD.”
- Patricia: “With
every fresh banana, always use a fresh condom.”
- Derek: “Can you keep a secret?”
Meredith: “Better than you think.”
- Derek: “How goes our special super secret silent
sunset surgery? ... I’ve been practicing that.”
Bailey: “You have too much time
on your hands.”
- Derek: “Just for the record…I like the
glow-in-the-dark ones.”
- Cristina: “If I am missing out on a real procedure
because of this, they are going to call me 007 because I killed you.”
Some Final Notes
- George’s book was called “Rashes,
Hives, and Skin Eruptions.”
- Izzie thought George was playing with his Willy
in the bathroom. I shouldn’t have written that.
- Derek was getting mysterious phone calls all
day. It turns out it was his wife.
- Olivia is the most annoying person. My friends
and I can’t stand her.
- Alex clips his nose hair. Why does that surprise
me?
- Izzie is a real gossip. When George drags Izzie
into a room, she pokes fun at Olivia saying she is the one who fools around.
- Jordan Franklin had fluid in his abdomen. He
suddenly died while they were draining it out. His daughter Alice was kind of spastic. She didn’t want the autopsy done,
until Izzie and Cristina steal the body and discover that the build-up of iron in his heart is a genetic disease. They saved
her life.
- On his desk, Webber has an award presented to
the Best Doctor in America.
- Alex thinks having syphilis was the best thing
that ever happened to George. Everyone knows him as a player.
- Cristina is Burke’s first. There’s
nothing wrong with that.
- Izzie says there’s one good thing about
not having sex: she doesn’t have to wait in the syph line.
- Shepherd likes glow-in-the-dark condoms.
- Supposedly, Ellis was asking for Meredith after
she missed their monthly parties.
- I found it ironic that Mr. Franklin didn’t
die of drinking.
- I died laughing when Bailey yelled at her interns
for ten minutes, then is presented Franklin’s giant heart and she says, “it’s huuuuge.”
- Bailey knew exactly where Izzie and Cristina
were. She knows everyone and everything.
- I honestly didn’t know that syphillis could
be cured with penicillin.
- George took Alex down with one punch. I jumped
of happiness.
All in all, this show has been magnificent. And it seems like the story is just getting started. I’m excited for
the addition of Kate Walsh in the show. Good things can only come from this. The finale was great. 5 stellar stars
