The band-aid has covered the depressing wound the show has become. It’s the best show, but it’s just depressing. But this episode brought us back to the nice Grey’s. I was laughing and I was feeling sad and I was feeling excited. This episode was a lot of fun and I’m glad I’m feeling cheerful rather than gloomy.

          So George has issues. A lot of issues. The first thing he decides to do is cut his hair. And it looked pretty disgusting if you asked me. I liked the fact that everyone was commenting on it. It looked really ugly. Why do I have a problem with George (for those of you who haven’t read last week’s review)? It’s because he acts like a two year-old. He’s a freakin’ weakling. Meredith has apologized countless times. I could never be able to say no to the apology she gave him in the elevator. She took the time to follow him and lock him in the elevator. I would appreciate the gesture. I wouldn’t even do something to apologize to George. The way he’s been treating everyone is aggravating me. He expects to be treated like a freakin’ king. I’ve really got to change subjects.

          Because I get angry every time I speak about George, the rest of the review will have no George.

          I’m glad Derek finally came to his senses and states that he’s partially responsible for what happened to his marriage. That’s all Addison has ever wanted to hear. But our dear Addison has been hitting it off well with Mr. Gibson. I liked this story because it seems like this man is the only person who has ever complimented her. Of course, Derek has never done that…ever. It was nice for her to have a man on her heels. He said she looked like Catherine Deneuve. I don’t know who that is. She was so happy about this that she made sure to fix her hair before she goes into the room. She looked so happy when Derek told her he was to blame. I loved this couple. I want them to stay together.

          Enjoying every minute of your life is what everyone should be doing. Take Sylvia Brooke for instance. For fifteen years, she says her life could not get more boring. She’s been a bed-warmer and a lifeless wife. Now with her prognosis, she’s getting to see life the way it’s meant to be seen. But when you see the end approaching, everything seems much easier. You’ll sell your house. You’ll sell everything you have. You’ll move to Paris. Life would rock if that’s the way it worked, but it doesn’t. I really hope these two can really find the happiness they’re searching for. That’s the only thing worth living for at the end of the day.

          The developing relationship between Denny and Izzie is foreshadowing some nice things to come. Denny has already pissed off Alex. Let’s see what else Denny will do to the hospital. There’s no doubt he’s a good guy. Izzie is “rainchecking” Alex so she can be with Denny. Actually, it’s no longer “rainchecking” Alex…it’s dumping Alex. I’m happy she dumped Alex. He was wrong for her from the very beginning. He actually felt the need to show off to Denny, the half-dead heart patient. I really hope Izzie turns out to stay with Denny. He is the best.

Dear Diary

Meredith: I don’t know what else to do. I locked him in an elevator and I made him listen to me. He just walked off like I was a wall or something. Seriously, what can I do to get his attention? I made a mistake. Why can’t he forgive me? Everything is so weird lately. No one is talking to each other. It’s as if we’re all mute. He literally gets up and walks away every time I sit down at his table. What are we in high school? Seriously, I just want things the way they were. We were happy and we were friends. I don’t like what’s going on. I hate all my friends. And now I don’t have friends. Derek is making it harder for me to be away from him, telling me that he’s my friend. Can we be friends? Is that even possible?

Cristina: I don’t baby-sit. I just don’t baby-sit. I don’t even like kids. I don’t even like humans in most cases. Why is it my fault that Bailey came to the hospital with her baby? Do you know how bad a baby smells? I had to wipe his crap. And the food was getting everywhere and everything just smelled like crap. And then George had to show Burke that he was good with babies. Why can’t I ever show Burke that I’m a freakin’ human? Maybe I am just a competitive slob. Wait, what’s the matter with that?

Today’s Baileyisms

-          “Let me hear him cry! ... That’s cry number 4. He’s hungry.”

Quotable Quotes

-          Izzie: “And you’re afraid Burke will realize he makes a better girlfriend than you?”

-          Meredith: “You know what?! It takes two to make a stupid sexual decision.”

Addison: “What?”

Derek: “I was indifferent. You know, in New York before Mark. I was just indifferent towards you.”

Addison: “Yes.”

Derek: “And I was absent.”

Addison: “Yes.”

Derek: “I’m partly to blame for what’s happened to our marriage.”

Addison: “Yeah.”

Denny: “Hey, don’t you have somewhere to be?”

Izzie: “Yeah, yeah I’m there.”

-          Meredith: “You’re trapped. And you don’t have to talk; I’ll do the talking. George, I am truly, very, deeply sorry. And I’m not going to make excuses, I’m just sorry. Look I know you’re going to get off this elevator and walk away and not look back. But George, we're friends, real friends. And that means, no matter how long it takes, when you finally do decide to look back, I’ll still be here.”
