People are dying left and right in the hospital. There’s a string of deaths in the hospital and everyone’s worried their patients will die. I don’t think I’m superstitious, but when four patients die at the same time, I’m going to worry. And yeah I did worry. I really thought Denny was going to bite it.

          More and more, Denny is becoming an important part of the show. What I love the most is that Izzie is falling for a patient; she knows what Meredith was going through when she fell for McDreamy. But Izzie is also going through what seems to be something worse. Falling for your boss has its downside, but I don’t think it’s as bad as falling for your patient. I love when things get steamy. I don’t know if this is going to be explored or not, but when your patient lies in pain needing help, the doctor will do everything he can to save the patient. If the doctor is the patient’s girlfriend, she won’t do everything, she’ll do anything…even break the rules. I’m starting to freak myself out. Does Izzie really love Denny though? Is this just a crush or does she really have feelings for him? Denny has the potential to be more than sex. The fact that Izzie fell in love with him while he’s still incapacitated proves that their love is genuine. How far is this going to go? I’m excited to find out.

          On another note, I’m becoming more intrigued with Alex’s character than ever before. I still don’t like him, but I do like the way he’s being developed. He’s an ass. We know that. But we also know he has issues. He seriously has issues. He found it necessary to tell Denny that he was involved with Izzie. Then he comes up with the bright idea to tell Denny that he probably won’t make it out of the hospital alive. He has a nice bedside manner don’t ya think? Alex acts like a tough guy, not giving a damn about other people’s opinions. He’s happy to walk around the hospital and screw any nurse he can. It doesn’t bother Alex. He hasn’t truly fallen in love. But Denny challenged him. And Denny won. For the first time, Alex is probably having genuine feelings for someone. And he ruined it with Izzie. He also stuck it to George. Thank God somebody did. Seriously. I have been feeling anger towards George because he’s such a freakin’ baby, but I’m glad someone is finally setting him straight. Alex took it a bit too far, but the point was made. He expects everyone to have pity for him. George, you made the mistake too.

          The other interesting character of the day was Dr. Webber. In the beginning of the series, he starts out as a man with the best reputation. But as the layers start peeling off, Dr. Webber has had as much of a shady past as anyone. He was an alcoholic, following his relationship with Ellis. Was she an alcoholic too? That would explain where Meredith gets it from. His AA sponsor Ollie Walner shows up to the hospital needing surgery; she is throwing up blood. I’m glad she survived. But what I loved most about her story was the fact that she had all her students come and stay with her. They also encouraged Webber to come to a meeting (he hasn’t been to one for ten years). It brings back some nice memories for Dr. Webber. When he tells Ollie that he’s seeing Ellis again, she tells him to run. She knows what kind of a mess she put him in last time. He can’t make that mistake again.

          So the episode brought up some interesting theories. Are doctors good because they have their lucky jujus? Every one of our doctors has a ritual they say before they start their surgery: Bailey sighs and looks up to the ceiling, Derek says it’s a good day for a surgery and tells his crew to have some fun and Burke cracks his neck. I don’t believe in such things. Addison does. She goes around giving everyone coffees after their patients have died. Burke was looking everywhere for his lucky scrub caps. Cristina had it all along. She tells him he doesn’t need it. And then our two patients, Nikki and Jesse Fannon, believe in their horoscope and counting (and saying) everything up to a multiple of 3, respectively. Just some great stuff.

Dear Diary

Alex: I couldn’t take it anymore. He walks around the hospital moping around as if his life is over because he had one bad sexual experience with Meredith. He pisses me off. And I do feel like beating the hell out of him. He wants everyone to have pity for him. I don’t have any pity for him. It happens to all of us. We all make mistakes. Why can’t he stop whining about it? He’s making Meredith feel like crap when he partially made the mistake too. I was literally going to blow. And before that, Izzie left me for Denny because I’m an ass. I told Denny that his chances of surviving were minimal. I tell my patients the truth. Denny needed to know what he was up against. I manage to ruin everything.

Izzie: I really love Denny. I know I can’t fall for a patient, but I have. I’m ready to cross that line because Denny is the best man I’ve ever met. He makes me laugh and he makes me cry. I was going crazy not knowing what was happening in the OR. He could have been dying for all I knew. Then when he made it out, it was as if this huge weight was lifted from me shoulders. I seriously don’t know how this is going to end. I went crazy. When I learnt that Burke didn’t have one of his lucky scrub caps, I actually threatened Cristina to give it to him. I made her go to him and give it. I threatened to pummel her. I didn’t know I can do that. I lived in a trailer park so I’m tough. I know how to kick someone’s ass. It doesn’t bother me. I can do it. I just pushed the limit. How much farther am I going to go?

Today’s Baileyisms

-          “If I thought it was safe I’d be more than happy to wait until midnight. However, I have a husband and a baby at home who won’t be happy. You know who else won’t be happy? You. Your spleen is bleeding. Spleen trumps horoscope.”

Quotable Quotes

-          Meredith: “He’s still ignoring me.”

Cristina: “Ignore him back.”

Meredith: “Derek says I should apologize until he listens.”

Cristina: “Derek says?”

Meredith: “It’s good advice, he’s my friend. That’s good friend advice.”

-          Addison: “What, are we not being friends with Meredith anymore?”

Derek: “No, no, we are. Meredith and I are friends.”

Addison: “And you and I are married. So by proxy, Meredith and I are friends.”

Derek: “That’s very big of you.”

Addison: “Yeah.”

Derek: “You don’t have to do that. It’s not like I’m going to be friends with...let’s say... Mark.”

Addison: “Yeah, well, neither am I. Now finish your juju before somebody else dies.” This one was nice.

-          Cristina: “Great. No blood, no guts, no lives to save. It’s dead quiet.”

Bailey: “Uh, did you really just say that?”

Izzie: “Cristina!”

Cristina: “What?”

George: “You said the ‘q’ word.”

Izzie: “That’s like saying Macbeth in the theatre.”

-          Izzie: “I swear to god, Cristina, I like you, I really do. But I grew up in a trailer park and I am so not above kicking your pampered, little Beverly Hills ass. And I do mean, physically kicking your ass.” Relax Izzie.

-          Izzie: “Just so we’re clear, we’re over, Alex. This is over.”

Alex: “What? You’re breaking up with me over a corpse?”

Izzie: “No! No! I’m breaking up with you because, on your very best day, that corpse... is twice the man you will ever be. You’re not good enough for me, Alex. You’re not good enough for anyone.”

-          Izzie: “I cannot fall for a patient.”

Denny: “Oh. Well, good luck with that.”

Some Final Notes

-          The guy at the morgue says that death comes in threes and sevens. He knows stuff like that.

-          Addison was giving everyone a juju today. I love her.

-          Why does Meredith keep throwing out the cocoa. She’s so miserable. At least she took a sip the second time.

-          Cristina said the word “quiet” in the trauma room and all hell breaks loose. That is hysterical. Knowing Cristina, she did it on purpose.

-          Jesse Fannon was the superstitious guy who had to repeat every thing he said and did by a multiple of three.

-          Nikki Ratlin is a stalkerish-horoscopish-psycho who didn’t want to get operated on because of all the deaths.

-          Addison is called the she-shepherd now. I like that.

-          George finally calls Callie. I like Callie.

-          I had to laugh when Cristina and George wrestled in the girl’s bathroom and Callie comes out of a stall and is shocked to see him in there. He calls her Ma’am.

-          Nikki kept lying about the incident. She says she was struck by lightning, then she says she was hit by a big branch, then she says she was in the tree when the tree was struck by lighting. She needs to get things straightened out.

-          Ollie describes Webber and Ellis’ relationship an emotional affair. That’s what it is.

-          Cristina’s locker is disgusting.

-          Izzie threatening to kick Cristina’s ass was hysterical.

-          Izzie kissed Denny. That’s it. They’re in love.
