We picked up right where we left off. And you know what,
we found out a lot of things. Addison
is not as innocent as we make her out to be and Derek doesn’t seem to be as guilty as we make him out to be. Some relationships
seem to be starting and some seem to be ending. With new beginnings, come new endings. And that’s why it’s a new
season of Grey’s Anatomy.
Can we consider Addison/Derek/Meredith a love triangle? Derek
doesn’t seem that into Addison. He also seems to have ruined his chances with Meredith as well. As far as
Addison goes, I absolutely love her. Kate Walsh is a great actress who will do her character justice. So we
learn that Addison was the one screwing another man: McDreamy’s best friend Mark. It seems as if Derek’s
Manhattan life isn’t as nice as it is now. It
is Manhattan we’re talking about. But Addison isn’t the devil Derek makes her out to be. When Ms. Philips openly requests
to have Meredith taken off her case, Addison shuts her up by saying Meredith is the only wronged woman here. That she is. I’ve got to hand it to Addison. She doesn’t care what anyone has to say about her. I like that in a
person. Dr. Webber mentions that Addison is the best in her field, OBGYN. Will Webber try and recruit her? That would
be a good idea. She’d be living is Seattle full time. Then the drama would really start.
So Derek tells Meredith how it really went down. He goes
home one time and realizes something’s different. He sees a man’s jacket on the floor; it belongs to his best
friend, Mark. He sells his practice and moves to Seattle upon Webber’s request. And the rest of the story we are well acquainted
with. At his trailer, Derek tells Meredith she was his breath of fresh air; it’s not enough for her. She leaves pissed.
Also of interest, Meredith met Derek at Joe’s bar. She says she hasn’t been back since that night. That place
should bring back good memories.
Cristina was right. Joe was having the worst night. It seems
as if everyone has a Joe story. Everyone except Burke. Derek, cleverly leaving out names, tells the story of his time with
Meredith. So Joe has a brain problem (I’ve given up on catching the scientific names) and the whole hospital is scared.
This surgery could make him close the bar. He needs the money to pay off the hospital debts. George comes up with the genius
idea to donate his body for educational purposes for 17 seconds. Joe wouldn’t have to pay a thing. Everyone’s
happy. So am I.
Burke dumped Cristina. This seems ridiculous to me. How can
Burke not see that Cristina was the best thing that ever happened to him? Am I wrong? He was having sex for the first time,
he was unwinding, and he was having fun. Does it seem wrong to say that doctors with a social life can maybe be better doctors?
They aren’t always obsessed with their job. That seems logical to me. Someone
like Webber now doesn’t take one step without thinking of the hospital. That’s not a healthy way to live. He assumes
everyone giving him fruit baskets is trying to suck up. I’ve never heard of such a thing before. Have you? This is the
problem with hot-shot doctors. There is so much competition that they can’t accept any kind of friendship. I found it
interesting that Webber compared himself to Burke. He’s right however. Burke and Webber are the same. But the chief
is not who I expected him to be. He shouldn’t have chosen Burke over Shepherd just because the latter is sleeping with
an intern. Seriously. If only Webber knew what Burke’s been up to. Shepherd
realizes that chief of surgery isn’t an honour at all; it’s all personal. Whoever gets chosen has the best relationship
with the previous chief. That’s how it is.
Dear Diary
Meredith: I don’t
know what to make of Dr. Shepherd. I’m talking about the Isabella freakin’ Rossellini one. Yeah, she’s gorgeous,
she’s smart, and she’s also an adulterous whore. I am too. Derek is married. He’s married to a gorgeous
woman who stood up for me before a patient. Hell, I don’t even know if I like her or not. Is it a bad thing to like
her? I’m so lost. Then, McDreamy goes to tell me that I was his breath of fresh air. That doesn’t seem good enough
for me. He was more to me than that. Izzie was right. I did have feelings for him. Now everything is over and shattered because
he couldn’t tell me about his wife. I don’t even know how I would have reacted. It doesn’t even matter.
Seriously.
Cristina: How dare he break
up with me? You know, I feel like kicking his ass. I’m happy I didn’t tell him about the child. He might have
kicked me harder to the curve. Did he tell me to concentrate on my work? Like I haven’t done that all this time. Why
did he have to make a big deal out of our “relationship?” It was just sex. That’s all I wanted it to be.
I expected it to be all he wanted as well. No, he has to go think that I’m going to be his next wife. Does he seriously
think I was going to settle for that? I was just fine with some sex. Great, now I sound like Izzie. All I know is the baby
is coming out on the 16th. I have Meredith as my person. She looked so happy about that. Why is she making such
a big deal about it?
Todays Baileyisms

Some Final Notes
- Meredith thought her life sucked the most. Turns
out Cristina’s is worse. That was the shock of the century.
- George was excited when he heard McDreamy is
Meredith’s ex-boyfriend.
- Addison likes Derek’s new hair. It’s
very Russel Crowe.
- I loved the scene where the interns tried aggravating
Derek by not letting him pass in the hallway. Izzie calls him McBastard.
- There’s also a new word: McWhat?
- Joe passed out on his floor. Cristina says it’s
the filthiest floor. She has a time to say everything.
- Burke is acting chief while Webber is out. Derek
and Burke keep fighting over Burke’s decisions.
- I like how Addison chose Meredith as her intern.
She can be a bitch.
- Addison is a hardcore attending. She doesn’t
give Meredith any time to answer her questions. I like that. Keeps the inters on their feet.
- Ms. Philips, the woman with conjoined fetal twins,
insults Meredith telling her she hates her because she reminds her of of her husband’s mistress.
- George is acting as the chief’s eyes and
ears. I was laughing. He couldn’t make it more obvious. He saw Cristina and Burke kissing. Naughty George.
- Cristina compares her relationship to Burke with
Switzerland. It’s neutral there.
- They had 45 minutes to revive Joe after killing
him. Now that’s working under pressure.
- I loved watching Webber get angry every time
another fruit basket was brought in. Classic stuff.
Great continuation from last season. I can’t wait to see what’s next. 4
