Everyone is feeling guilty on Grey’s Anatomy: Meredith feels guilty about not telling Derek she broke up with Finn, Izzie feels guilty about having all this money, Cristina (although not showing it) should feel guilty about Burke, Burke feels guilty for not being at the top of his game, Callie feels guilty because she hasn’t told George about her skanky affair and Addison feels guilty because she hasn’t told Derek the truth about Mark. What did I tell you? Everyone.

          The theme of the episode: women keeping secrets. This episode would have been perfect after Desperate Housewives. I miss that line-up. Meredith has no idea how to tell Derek the truth. If I was Meredith, I would have come out and said it immediately. If I was Derek, I would want to hear it. The woman is practically handing herself over to you. Derek, say something. I actually do think though that McDreamy is serious. He walked away. He doesn’t want to be part of this anymore. What should Meredith do? I say, relax and wait for something to happen. Come on Meredith, you waited all of the second season. You can wait a bit longer.

          This divorce is going to get ugly. I was really hoping it wasn’t. Addison and Derek were hysterical in the lawyer’s office. I enjoyed the scene where Derek says she can keep Mark and Addison replies by saying she doesn’t want him. They are both settled. As far as confessing, I’m glad Addison told the truth. I want this marriage packed-up and out the door. It’s time Derek learned to forgive. He doesn’t have to like Mark, but he should make an effort to tolerate him. What’s done is done.

          The M & M meeting was excellent. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Bailey. She stood up and took crap from everybody. Although she wasn’t at fault for Denny’s death, she was partly to blame for not having control over her interns. Those interns however should not have been acting like complete fools. That’s just my take. I think, for the first time, they really felt the effect of Denny’s death on the hospital. Denny’s death didn’t only affect them; it affected Bailey, Chief Webber, as well as Burke. I wish the meeting itself would have lasted longer.

          Burke was on a warpath this week. Although I don’t agree with Cristina and Burke’s plan on keeping his condition under wraps, I really felt sorry for Burke. He lost the two most important things to him: his hands. Without them, he is not Preston Burke. I wonder if Chief Webber is ever going to find out. What’s going to happen if Burke can’t find Cristina for an emergency operation? I don’t see clear skies coming their way any time soon. Furthermore, Burke’s scene with Izzie was powerful. It was fitting that Burke let out his anger. He sure scared me. Izzie’s damage went beyond Denny’s death. It almost destroyed Burke. He has his own problems to deal with now. Like he said, no one is fine yet.

          Izzie is freaking me out. Let me see: what would I do with 8,7 million dollars? Umm…cash it in? No kidding. Izzie, what are you doing? That thing would have been cashed in the second I got it. I would feel guilty too, but still. Although I want her to be rich, I’m glad the writers aren’t making Izzie do something she wouldn’t do. She wouldn’t keep the money. Besides, I want her to stay in the hospital. She’s better there.

Dear Diary

Izzie: I went back to the hospital today. I went to pack up my things. I’m a multi-millionaire. I love saying that. While I was cleaning out my locker, I suddenly realized how much I’m going to miss this place. I was visiting and I walked into the M & M. I saw Bailey on the stage just getting hammered. They were beating her down for what happened to Denny. Is this all my fault? I never wanted to cause so much harm. I could have caused Bailey to lose her job. She kept fighting for me though. She kept answering every question that came at her. I feel so proud to have been part of this family. I don’t know what I’m going to do now. I walked into Dr. Burke. He started yelling at me. He wants me to use my gifts: my hands. He would love to be in my position. He wants his hands to work again. I know it was my fault he got shot. I know everything is my fault. Should I feel so sorry for myself? What should I do? Should I go back to the hospital? I’m so confused.

Today’s Baileyisms

-          Savoy: “Babysitting, Dr. Bailey?”

Bailey: “That’s right. I’m babysitting. I’m being all unprofessional and emotionally involved while my patient and her husband are having a moment together. Oh, I think you better leave now. I’m feeling a rush of hormones coming on and there’s no telling what I might do.”

Quotable Quotes

-          Burke (to Izzie): “You have two good hands and you aren't using them. Feel guilty about that.”

-          Divorce counselor: “Derek says that neither of you brought any assets into the marriage.”

Addison: “Well I had my trust fund, and a sparkling personality uh and a futon couch.”

Derek: “Yes Addison had a very ugly, very heavy futon couch.”

Addison: “Whatever happened to that couch?”

Derek: “We gave it to Mark. She can have him.”

Addison: “I don't want him.”

Derek: “Okay, well that's settled. What else?”

-          Addison:” Mark and I, it wasn't a one night stand. I was in love with him. Or at least I thought I was. After you left, we lived together for two months. I wanted to believe that we could make it work , that I hadn't thrown my marriage away, that I hadn't thrown my life away on a fling. But he's Mark and well, I caught him with someone else and then Richard called. We both had relationships with other people. We're both equally liable for everything, so please take the brownstone.” You dirty girl.

-          Callie: “I slept with another guy, do I tell George?”

Meredith: “I broke up with Finn, do I tell Derek? (pause) I can't tell Derek.”

Callie: “I have to tell George.”

-          Alex: “I'd buy the Bahamas. Or at least a Bahama. An island. You know, for 8 million dollars, you could buy an island.” I want an island.

-          Meredith: “Are you ok?”
Izzie: “Of course I’m ok. I’m a millionaire.”

Some Final Notes

-          The breast cancer storyline was excellent. Although there are some things that I can never experience (like giving birth or being a mother or being a woman for that matter), I really felt the young mother’s pain. She doesn’t want her son to suffer in the future. She wants to die now.

-          Addison’s case was hysterical. I would be so embarrassed if my wife was stuck on top of me because my piercing caught onto her vaginal wall. Then I would freak out even more if my daughter walked in.

-          Callie is sleeping around. I don’t know why she would fall for Mark. Come on Callie I expected more from you.

-          Of course, Addison jumps right back into bed with Mark.

-          I expected Derek to give Addison their house in New York. He just wants Seattle. When is he building a house?

-          De. Savoy was easily the most annoying character on the show. I’m glad Bailey set him straight.

-          How much longer until Burke’s secret is exposed? Let’s place bets.
