We’re all a bit lonely these days: Meredith doesn’t have Derek, Izzie’s friends are not supportive, Cristina doesn’t eat breakfast with Burke, Addison barely sees her husband and a mother is lonely without her babies. We all own some kind of lonely heart these days.

          The quints storyline took a sad and expected turn when one of the quints died. If there’s one thing I can’t watch is a child die. It can just eat my hurt up. Emily, with the bad heart, died under Izzie’s care. This escalated into further trouble as Izzie learns that this was a plan orchestrated by Addison; she wants Izzie to learn the hard way. I believe in tough love; that’s the only way we learn. This was Izzie’s only way to learn. Caring as much as she does is why she is so heartbroken after her patients die. It’s sweet, but not a doctor’s way. How long do you think it will take Izzie to forgive Addison? This was a drastic undertaking on her part. It was huge. Addison says that Izzie is the best she’s seen in years. Is that really true? How will this encourage her to continue in Obstetrics and Gynecology? I truly believe that Izzie has a gift; she cares about her patient. I don’t think that’s a bad thing, but it has to be controlled. Izzie looked like a mess after Emily’s death. I don’t care what anyone says though, after a baby dies, you will feel major pain.

          This was a huge episode for Izzie. And I understand what she’s feeling. At first, I thought calling Meredith a whore a stretch. But I understand now. When Derek dumped Meredith, Izzie was there for her. When Cristina lost her child, Izzie was there for her. When Alex was being called Evil Spawn, she was a friend to him; she was there for him. When Ellis was admitted to the hospital, Izzie was there for Meredith. When Addison came into the picture, Izzie was cracking jokes about her; she was there for Meredith. She’s been there for everyone so the least her friends can do is be considerate…for a day. I’m really angry about this. Meredith, of all people, should be the one at Izzie’s side. Do you see her there?

          Burke is doing more of the couple thing than Cristina wants. What a shocker. What is Cristina’s problem? How can she refuse to eat that amazing breakfast Burke made her? I would have gobbled that thing up in a matter of seconds. I love food and I love my breakfast. I don’t see why Burke is being so patient. It’s probably because he hasn’t done such a thing before, but it’s time he learnt that he has to me more aggressive with Cristina. Give her an offer she can’t refuse. Sweep her off her feet. No more relationship advice, I promise.

          Part of being an intern is making mistakes. Alex made a huge mistake. He has to deal with it. In this business, there aren’t any second chances. You make one mistake; you blow it. Alex made that one mistake. He took his eyes off his patients for a few minutes and the guy ran for the toilet bowl. It sounds ridiculous when I write it now. Like I said, that’s what being an intern is: you screw up. You kill your first patient. When it comes down to it, Alex killed Martin. He’s going to have to live with this for awhile. All doctors do. In addition to making medical mistakes, he makes personal mistakes as well like sleeping with Izzie…with Olivia. Of all people. Sorry, I hate her.

Dear Diary

Izzie: I’ve had a bad day. McDreamy’s bitch wife played a stupid “lesson” on me by telling me to watch over Emily while she was already a goner. I would do anything to save Emily, but that’s just in bad taste. Everyone has a problem with my tendency to get emotionally involved with the patient. What do they care? What’s the problem with me loving my patients? I’m sorry I don’t like to see babies die. What also pissed me off is the fact that I worked two twenty-four hour shifts for no damn reason. I’m going to miss Emily. Dorie looked so hurt. I couldn’t speak to her again. I left with Meredith and we went to get a dog. We named him Doc. That was nice of her; she owed me though. I was coming in to check on Emily when I see her helping Alex with something. She had the nerve to tell me that they were friends. Since when? I was kind of mean when I implied she was a slut. I shouldn’t do that again.

Meredith: I could have been a better friend. But seriously, she didn’t have to call me a slut. You know what. I might be a slut, but I’m not. Seriously. But she is right. She has been there for all of us when we need her. She bakes for us and cooked us a Thanksgiving dinner (one where I didn’t show up). So I have a lot of ground to make up for. So we went to buy a dog. We called him Doc. She lit up right away. It’s not fair that she had to get cheated on. But Alex and I are friends. We talk sometimes. It doesn’t mean I’m going to sleep with him; it just means I’m being a good friend. I’m not that a lot. I need to be that more. I think Izzie and I are on better terms now. I hope.

Today’s Baileyisms

-          “I don’t know what you’re angry about, but I don’t care. Keep it to yourself.”

-          “Pregnancy has not made me soft. I haven’t gone soft. I don’t do soft.”

-          “Why are you arguing with me?”

-          Bailey: “These are preemies, they were supposed to spend another 8 weeks in the womb, just like interns, they’re not ready for the real world.”

Quotable Quotes

-          Izzie: “A, this is not a competition. And B? My quint kicks your quints’ asses.”

-          Izzie: “He’s unbelievable. I’m so glad I never slept with him. Which is his loss. Because I’m really good in bed. Mind blowing. Mind-blowingly good in bed.”

Cristina: “Are you trying to seduce us?”

Izzie: “And he sleeps with Olivia, instead of me. Olivia?!”

George: “Hey, I slept with Olivia.”

Izzie: “Well, then you both have bad taste.”

-          Cristina: “I don’t have time for breakfast! I’ve got to round before anyone else if I want to get the good cases!” How can you not want breakfast?

-          George: “A dog is not a replacement for a human being!”

-          Cristina: “Hell hath no fury like a girl whose non-boyfriend screws a nurse.”

-          Cristina: “Are you sure you can’t do it?”

Bailey: “I can. I choose not to.”

-          Constance (to Cristina): “Don’t worry, I only killed 3 people and none of them were doctors.”

-          Olivia: “I’m sorry, I still get a little squeamish around leeches.”

George: “Huh. That’s not what I’ve heard.”

-          Meredith: “You know, the marble bath, private pool, gated community guy.”

Derek: “Don’t peg me. I’m not peggable.”

Meredith: “You’re pegged. Deal with it.”

-          Izzie: “I’m telling you, Meredith was all over him.”

Cristina: “Seriously, she was all over him? What, like mounting him, with all the babies watching? Seriously?” I loved this one.

Some Final Notes

-          I loved when the interns were comparing each other’s babies. That’s just bad.

-          Robert Martin’s brain is fried.

-          Constance Ferguson swallowed four razor blades. She wanted to come out of seclusion from the prison. She lives between four walls with no windows. That’s tough.

-          Olivia and Izzie in the elevator scene was hysterical. One of the best scenes ever.

-          Dorie blamed herself for her children’s conditions. That’s hard to live with.

-          The Co-bedding idea was genius. It makes sense. One baby helps the other. I love it.

-          Constance wanted mint-chocolate-chip and she called Bailey “Mama Bear.”

-          Karl Murphy wanted to keep the leeches that sucked the blood in his nose and hands.

-          Olivia couldn’t touch the leeches. I hope she swallows one.

-          Webber did the same thing to Addison that she did to Izzie.

-          Constance swallowed a light bulb.

-          Addison wanted Derek to move out of his trailer. I can’t picture her living in that trailer. Why doesn’t he build a house?

-          I liked the fact that Cristina let Constance stay in the hospital for two weeks. That was really nice.

-          Cristina finally ate a piece of toast. Good girl.

-          The dog’s name is Doc.

I loved this one. It was a stunning way to end a two-episode arc. 5 stars
