Were these bad scars and bad souvenirs? You know what, to tell you the truth, I really liked the episode even if there were holes in the plot. People on the message boards have been going insane saying they’ve quit the show and BLAH BLAH BLAH! That’s when the gloves came off. There is no way the show has jumped the shark. This episode followed the exact same lines as any second season episode.

          The show went back to being funny again. I love that. For all those of you who didn’t enjoy the Gizzie hook-up, I doubt it’s going to be more than what it really will be. I never make sense do I? The night was a mistake and we saw it coming. There are definitely no feelings there. The whole night turned out to be one lousy drunken sexual experience. It’s going to be forgotten right away. This is how the show used to be. Get over it! I spent a whole night on the message boards going crazy last night. People have to relax. This could be the end of the straw for these two. Maybe Izzie will finally be able to get over George this way.

          And you know what? George is absolutely right to be mad at Callie. She’s the one who’s kept everything hush-hush. She should have told George about her money. For goodness sake’s! They are married. Callie is stuck in this frame of mind where she thinks they’re still going out. You guys got married in freakin’ Vegas. Learn to share secrets. And yeah, at that, Callie isn’t as good-looking as Izzie. That’s the way it works. It’s mean, but it’s true. I’ve expressed on countless occasions how much I love Callie, but this thing is not working. I want her to stay on the show, but she’s gotta get her act together.

          I’m glad Meredith went along with the dinner. I’m even happier she took the initiative to host it even if she didn’t bother cooking any of the food. That’s why I love my Mer. Susan turned out to be some great fun for Meredith. She really is a nice woman and she understands more than anyone what Meredith is going through. She even made sure Thatcher took a hike while she was inviting Meredith for dinner. God I love this woman. Meredith just clicked with her. She even took her to her car. They were hugging! Our Meredith is all grown-up.

          But seriously, Thatcher is a disaster. The poor guy was so nervous for this dinner. He just ran up to go fix the blown fuse just so he can get away from the table. That was just hysterical. But I liked how he instead began talking with Derek. He really finds out that Meredith is worth the trouble. She’s worth the chase. That last scene with the swing set and him taking out the screw was beautiful. Meredith knows it’s going to take some time for him to win her over, but guess what, she’s got time now.

          Let’s talk about Colin Marlow. This guy just shows up and knocks the whole world into complete disarray. He’s definitely going to be the next chief of surgery and honestly, it pisses me off. The title of chief belonged to one of the four attendings. Webber would have acted the same way if he knew he was close to getting the title. Come On!

          So the geezer had a three-year relationship with Cristina. That’s THREE years. For all we know, he could have been the reason why she got so good in Stanford. Did he cheat for her? I have no idea. But Burke is definitely taking this out of proportion. She loves him and she’s willing to go against what she believes in just to make him happy. I think that’s true love. Besides, the Colin Marlow thing was a completely different situation. He was just a way to get somewhere in her career. Burke is completely different. Honestly though, if he wants to go all psycho about it and walk off, that’s fine with me.

          So as I said, the race for chief is on. There’s no doubt in my mind though that Colin won’t be chief. He shouldn’t be, but he will. I didn’t see anything wrong with Addison yelling at Mark. Then again, I never see anything wrong with what Addison does. She was arguing on behalf of her Jane Doe. Mark could have killed her child. I didn’t think the argument between Derek and Burke to be realistic. Give me a break! Burke wouldn’t try and make it known that Derek was trying to suck-up to Marlow. That was stupid.

          I am just ecstatic that Alex has now moved in. What a great idea! I’ve always wanted him to be closer to the interns and so that way, he can add his quirky comments wherever he wants. I almost died laughing when Izzie said he probably lived in a whore house before. She was great. But did you find Alex telling Jane Dow a bedtime story to be a bit much? I mean Alex in his right mind would never do that. They have to keep some consistency going.

Dear Diary

Alex: So I’m living at Mer’s house. She let me live there ever since George hooked-up with Callie O’Malley. You had to see Izzie this morning. She was trying so hard to get me interested in her. I’m not. So I saw her in a robe; I’ve seen everything under that robe. She doesn’t get it. Men capture the moments. But I understand what she’s going through. She just isn’t ready to move on. I get that. Denny’s death was fast and unexpected. She had just fallen in love with him. I don’t blame her for not being able to just close that chapter of her life. Jane Doe almost had a close call today. She almost lost the baby. Addison was so angry. I felt bad because I rushed the woman into surgery. It kills me.

Meredith: I actually had a dinner with my father and Susan. I can’t believe I did it…I DID IT! It wasn’t that bad. I really clicked with her. That doesn’t happen often. I’m just…just trying to talk to my father. He told me he looked at the picture of him with a girl on the red swing. He thought it was Molly. It was me. He’s going to get it one day. He has to get it. He also showed me how to get the swing to work. He had put something in there to prevent it from catching my hands. I really want this thing to work with him. I really do.

Some Final Notes

-          Izzie coming out of the shower and seeing Alex was hysterical.

-          George was so pissed that his two hundred dollars only pay housekeeping. That’s hysterical. He slapped himself after.

-          Ellis was cremated. Why?

-          I enjoyed the story with Mr. Scoffield. He has been angry all his life. He wants to know what’s true. Friendly fire injured him. He can’t prove it now. I’m glad he’ll have a second chance to move on now.

-          Wasn’t Shoreh Aghdashloo fantastic? Helen Crawford was a fun character. I’m glad she survived the surgery.

-          I enjoyed watching all the interns try to spot the new chief candidate. That’s what they do there. Gossip!

-          I loved when Meredith and Cristina both hid in the closet just ditching Izzie both times.

-          How rich is Callie? All we know is that she’s a heiress. I’m schocked her parents would let her live in a hospital.

-          Mark has been keeping away from sex for awhile. He’s going to give up soon.

-          The lunch scene was hysterical. Izzie was hysterical asking Cristina if Marlow made her a better “lova.” Also, she was asking if Marlow was on a pill. Hysterical.

-          Derek opened up a patient’s chest by himself. Burke wouldn’t open a head. It shows which job is harder.

-          Izzie cooked the whole meal.

-          I was crying when Meredith told Susan that her house is not always that hectic. Cristina responds that it is.

-          The drunk scene was hysterical. Izzie can be very loud.

-          I loved watching Izzie look under the sheets to see if she’s really naked.

Overall good but it did have some holes. 3 ½ stars. Should it be higher?
