What Have I Done to Deserve This?
Episode 2.19

          What a depressing episode. So George seems to have finally left his friends. It’s killing me, but that’s what he has to do. Meredith has pushed him enough and it was time for a change. Yeah, she did a terrible and regretful thing, and now everyone’s against her. But things have to get better. Right?

 

          I don’t know how I feel towards George. I can understand his anger and I sympathize with him. He’s loved Meredith from day one and she ruined the one person he cared about: her. On the other hand, George has to realize that Meredith was vulnerable and sad. She’s been depressed all this time and George took advantage of her. She didn’t know that she didn’t want to do it with George. Personally, I find she goes to bed with someone rather quickly. But for the sake of decency and compassion, how could she start crying during sex. She knew George was having a great time. Why did she have to make a disaster of it?

 

          That scene was at once beautiful and depressing. It was beautiful because the acting was stunning. Meredith began crying in the middle of sex. But I couldn’t watch her cry; it made me sick. And I think that was the point. I think the writers wanted to make Meredith look despicable. This was the whole point. What she did was terrible and absolutely WRONG! And this scene was painful to watch. The worst part of it was watching George get so into it, then see Meredith hoping the whole thing to just be over. Meredith crying here is different from Meredith crying for her mother in “Break on Through.” In both cases, she’s sad. But in today’s episode, she’s disgusted with herself. She’s crying because she realizes what kind of a person she is. And she’s not a good person.

 

          I don’t understand a few things. Are Addison and Derek on good terms now?  Derek seemed to have gotten a kick out of seeing Addison have poison oak where no one wants to have poison oak. These are the words of Bailey herself. But I loved the scene where Addison throws a pillow at Derek. I also loved watching Addison go all psycho when she started crying about her life. But Addison is an understanding woman. She wants to hear her husband yell at her; she wants to cry. She wants to feel like crap. Why doesn’t McDreamy make her feel crap?

 

          So the friends look like they’re going to split. Izzie says she’s going to side with George and Cristina will probably always side with Meredith. But even Cristina was angry that Meredith slept with George. She says she would never pick on the weaker on. This is what pisses me off. George is a freakin’ man. He isn’t a baby; he isn’t mentally disabled. He’s a man who’s been treated like a child. He also had sex; it wasn’t only Meredith having sex. And I pisses me off that Meredith is getting all the heat for it. This is what has shocked me; I still like Meredith, but I hate George. At least Meredith hasn’t changed. George has become a freakin’ cry baby. He wants everyone to pity him. Just suck it up and move on like a man. I know I might be going a bit too hard on him, but he made a mistake. DEAL WITH IT!

 

Dear Diary

 

George: I had to move out. I couldn’t bear to look at her anymore. She makes me sick. She seriously told me to stop in the middle of sex. It’s all her fault. Then she tells Alex that we had sex. Then I was fortunate enough to have Izzie and Cristina show up. Following me down the stairs, they learn I slept with Meredith because I couldn’t keep my mouth shut. So I’ve moved out. I didn’t know where I was going to stay. I just knew I had to get out of that house. I was really wrong about Meredith and I feel like an idiot. So I meet Dr. Torres and she seems to have a thing for me. I’m not going to date now until this thing ends. I’m staying at Burke’s place now against Cristina’s will I’m sure. How can I face them again, especially Meredith?

 

Meredith: It was a mistake. I get it. But I wasn’t the only one who did anything. What am I saying? It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault. I took advantage of George. He’s always been there for me…and I’m a terrible person. I don’t deserve a friend like that. I don’t think I have any either. Izzie is going all pro-George on me and saying that she’s going to support him if I can’t fix what I did. Even Cristina said she would never pick on the weaker one. I picked on the weaker guy. He’s always been good to me and supposedly, he’s had a thing for me from day one. And I screwed everything up. George doesn’t even want to look at me. I don’t blame him.

Some Final Notes

 

-          This was the first episode where Meredith didn’t narrate. I liked the George narration.

-          Izzie keeps sleeping with Alex. I like how she calls herself a whore. At least she’s fine with it.

-          Keith Paulus was the patient with the aneurysm in his heart. His fiancee was a pig. She says she wasn’t strong enough and so she leaves him to do the surgery alone.

-          Shawn has two fathers. I like how his nervous father was able to relax while he was getting drilled in the head.

-          Addison’s poison oak thing was hysterical. I laughed when she was walking passed the interns and touching herself.

-          Cristina asked George to stop pouting. Seriously.

-          George says there should be balance. Good people should be rewarded and bad people should not.

-          Alex gets a cupcake for Izzie and she completely ignores him when Denny comes back.

-          Addison’s crying made Bailey lactate. That was hysterical.

-          Alex was the one to shock Denny.

-          George tripped and fell down the stairs.

-          Derek said Meredith and him should be friends. And they are. They’re hanging out with the dog.

-          Denny says that Izzie is his karma.

-          George apologizes to Olivia because he knows now what she musy have been feeling when he dumped her. Why do they keep having her on the show?

-          Izzie rainchecks Alex.

-          Callie Torres is expecting a call from George. I like Dr. Torres.

 

Depressing but very strong. 4 stars
