GREY'S ANATOMY
So, I really can't say enough good stuff about this show. I'm sure they'll be a time when the show bores me, or when a particular episode just isn't that great, but it hasn't happened yet. Yeah, some of the episodes are better than others, but none of them are bad. I mean, anything after the stupidity of Desperate Housewives is a blessing. This recap isn't gonna be as long as the others because I ended up watching this in bed as my temperature continued to rise throughout the night. Honestly I think my body was rejecting Desperate Housewives which caused me to get the flu.
Anyway, this one starts out with a bunch of people gettin' it on. Meredith and some random guy, McDreamy and his bitch, Christina and Burke, and Alex and Izzie. Unfortunately for Izzie, Alex doesn't work right, if you know what I mean. When Izzie is talking to George later (the only one who hasn't gotten any since the STD he got from that nurse) we get the sense that she's extremely frustrated. Someone who isn't frustrated it Addison. She's just had some great sex with McDreamy. Another reason why we hate her.
Well, later, Meredith wakes up with the random guy and basically kicks him out, it's great. Izzie and George see him running off, making a joke of all the guys she's been hooking up with. You go girl. At Burke's place Christina wakes up and calls Meredith and tells her where she is. As she's making her coffee she notices that he left her a key. This freaks her out since she's not sure she's ready for it. Later, she and Meredith are having a coffee outside and talking about it. Meredith's random guy, one night stand walks up, and unfortunately he has a priapism which is a permanent erection. Christina and Meredith try to sneak him in but Bailey catches them yelling for them to stop since she has a person growing inside her. Man this chick is hilarious. The random guy insists that he's not on any enhancers, even as they tell him about all the procedures they're going to be doing to his manhood to figure out why this is happening. Meredith's thoroughly embarrassed as everyone hears about him being there. Eventually McDreamy is consulted and is taken aback when he realizes that not only was Meredith with him the night before, but that they had just met. Finally the cause of the priapism is narrowed down to a tumor on his spine which McDreamy removes. The guy is fine, and asks Meredith to see her again. She tells him no, and that he deserves better.
Christina of course is still buggin' about Burke's key. She insists that he knows nothing about her. He tells her how she likes her coffee, what knife she likes to use in surgery, everything that warrants a good relationship. To show him he really doesn't know her, she takes him to her apartment. Apparently she's not home much and when she is home, she doesn't clean. The place is a mess, clothes everywhere. She asks if this is what he really wants. Later we find them in a post coital huddle on the floor. I guess he didn't care.
Meanwhile, Izzie's working with Addison on a case of a woman who's pregnant with quintuplets. The babies have already gone 32 weeks which in quint time I guess is good. The woman wants to hold off a bit more. Unfortunately three of the babies are in trouble and need the other doctors. Burke and McDreamy are called in to consult. Izzie tries to talk to Alex about his issue earlier. They even start hooking up in the sex room. (seriously, I hope they change the sheets in that room) Izzie's pager beeps and she has to go.
Later, Alex is working on a patient with STD nurse. It's Booger from Revenge of the Nerds! I love that guy. He has some deficiency that's creating him to be extra thirsty all of the time. It gets so bad that they turn off the water in his room and they catch him drinking the water out of the toilet. That's just nasty, even for Booger. Alex orders some meds to be pushed (I totally sound like a doctor, right?) but unfortunately gives the wrong dosage. Booger starts convulsing and McDreamy comes in and realizes Alex's mistake. Alex of course is upset and goes into the sex room to sulk. Unfortunately STD nurse follows to console him. At this point I know what's going to happen. Not just because I saw it in the preview but because I know Alex. Alex, like most of the Grey's characters are flawed, and round, and real, and that's why I love it so much. In his frustration of not passing the boards, of not being able to perform with Izzie (I think because he's in love with her), and almost just killing a guy, he kisses STD nurse. Of course it's at this moment that the quints mom goes into labor. All available doctors are called. Izzie thinks she knows where Alex is and goes to the on call, I mean sex, room. She opens the door and finds Alex half naked on top of STD nurse. She pulls herself together and tells him that the quints lady is in labor.
Everyone comes together and as the quints are born, each intern taking their own baby. Of course Alex looks over at Izzie, wanting to talk to her. Man, I love this show.
