More on this later!I was a bit skeptical when all week long they kept promoting this crazy episode of Grey's Anatomy. I was hoping they didn't go the way of ER and start blowing sh** up and crashing trains, planes and helicopters just because they were losing their footing on good storylines. Luckily I was, no pun intended, blown away. Was I really surprised? No.
The show starts off like my best friend's wet dream. Christina, Izzie and Meredith are all in the shower, together, lathering each other up. Although I appreciate all of these women as actresses and they are all attractive, I'm kinda disturbed. They ain't no Playboy Playmates. Of course George wakes up from his dream by falling out of his bed. Izzie comes into his room and tells him that Meredith doesn't want to come to work. Meredith tells them that she just knows something bad is going to happen and just wants to say hope. They call in the big guns and Christina comes over. Meredith tells Christina that she's depressed because Addison not only took her boyfriend, but took her dog too. Hey, I wouldn't be complaining about that nasty mutt, the dog either. Come on, you know I don't feel that way about McDreamy, although he's slowly creeping towards the dog zone. Christina yells at her, saying she was just all snug and cozy with a hot black man and didn't need to waste her time with this bullsh**. She rips the covers off and forces Meredith to get up.
At this hospital the Chief and Burke are staring at a fairly empty board. They say it's a bad sign. A bad sign about what? That people aren't getting hurt, or that they can't cut into people? These people are blood thirsty. McDreamy approaches and at some point lays it on the line with Burke. He wonders why they aren't better friends. I mean, his sister's, second cousin on his father's side twice removed and him used to date, so they're practically related. McDreamy also wonders why they don't call each other by their first name. Burke is also perplexed but doesn't really want to go there and walks away. McDreamy sees Meredith and realizes she's upset about something. She says she has a feeling something is gonna happen and he says that it'll pass. Just like men to blow off a woman's feeling. It's called women's intuition you a**holes.
So the night is looking up when Bailey returns. At first I'm confused because she must be ready to pop. And then she pops, all over George. She tells him to call Addison and tell her she's in labor. They wheel her off to the delivery room when an ambulance pulls up. Alex and Meredith take it. It's a woman screaming her head off with the most annoying scream. She's not hurt but her husband is. The new paramedic (played by Christina Ricci) has her hand in the man's chest cavity, holding a bleeder. They're not exactly sure how this guy got this way, and they're not getting anything from the screaming lady, so they decide to operate and see what's going on. They take them up to surgery and Burke chooses Meredith to operate with him and Christina's a bit bummed.
The crazy screaming lady keeps screaming and I want to reach out and smack the ugly off of her. At first I think Alex is going to do just that, but instead he just screams in her face. That shuts her up but just causes her to start crying.
Addison doesn't look like she's concentrating too hard
The Chief walks by George who's peering into a room through the door. He wonders what he's looking at and looks in. It's Bailey getting her cervix checked by Addison. The Chief is a bit embarrassed and wonders why George didn't warn him that he would be looking into Bailey's cooch. I just wonder why George was all up in it myself. Derek walks by and looks in as well. Are they doing it right at the door or something? Addison comes out and says that Bailey is doing fine. She's just wondering where her husband is. George says that he'll track him down.
"Do you like scary movies?"
Down in the pit, Izzie gets a case of a man who was in a car accident. Looks like he probably has some bleeding in his head. He's awake though and asks them to call his wife. If you haven't picked up yet who this guy is, don't worry, I hadn't either. The man's phone rings and it's George. He was calling Bailey's husband who, you guessed it, is the man who's been in the accident. Not sure they should tell Bailey yet.
Burke, Addison and McDreamy meet up in the scrub room and Burke calls Addison by her first name, Bitch. McDreamy questions him about it and Burke says it's because he likes her, plus he's hittin' that. They also all realize that Bailey's husband is the one McDreamy's about to operate on. Burke's also about to operate on the gaping chest wound guy as well. They go to their respective operating rooms and begin prepping.
Alex saves the day
Downstairs, Alex is finally about to start getting answers from the screaming woman. Her husband's best friend comes in and she's pissed at him. She says that they do WWII reenactments and they had built a bazooka. When it didn't work this Mensa member decided to go to the front of and peer into it. BAM! It went off. Something clicks with Alex and he wonders if there was an actual explosion or just it coming out. There was no explosion. Alex figures out that it could explode at any time and makes a mad dash to stop Dr. Burke from cutting into the bomb. It's a few tense moments as he runs past everyone and the Chief and finally makes it to Burke's room right as he's about to touch the man. He opens the door and at first Burke's a bit pissed but then he goes to talk to Alex. Christina Ricci mentions to Meredith that Alex is cute and wants to know if he's seeing anyone. Get your loins focused woman you have your hand in someone's body cavity. Once Burke hears what's going on he calmly turns around and tells Ricci not to move a muscle, or an inch. He then tells everyone that it's a Code Black. Some cheesy 70's Blaxplotation music starts and a lady with an afro sings "It's a Code Bbblllaaaccckkk".
"I need a large baby bottle, a helmet full of cottage cheese, and a naked picture of Bea Arthur, STAT"
Everyone leaves the operating room except for Ricci and the Anesthesiologist (which is too hard to spell so I'll call him Dr. Smith) They've taken the man off of the oxygen and have just bagged him. Meredith wants to stay and be the hero and Dr. Burke lets her stay on the floor. Some other brave souls want to stay as well in case they need them to operate. McDreamy's still operating next door and when they find out it's a Code Black, he's spooked for a minute. Then he realizes he has Bailey's husband on the table with his brain exposed and doesn't exactly want to leave. He double checks that they said Code Black and tells everyone in the room that whoever wants to leave, can. Only non-essential people leave. Again with this non-essential thing. Remember the flesh eating bacteria from last show?
In the elevator Addison, George and Izzie all get pages that say Code Black. Because Addison is an old time bitch she knows what this means and tries to keep her cool. George and Izzie want to know what a Code Black is and Mommy Addison won't tell them. They know something's going on though when the elevator doors open and there are cops everywhere.
Burke and the bomb squad guy (who used to be on that show Early Edition)
The bomb squad finally shows up and say that because of the unstableness of this homemade bomb, it could go off with the smallest shift. They also realize McDreamy hasn't been evacuated yet. The bomb squad goes in and insists he leave. He says that they don't scare him, but Bailey does, and he's not leaving her husband like this. You go Derek!
George and Izzie are sitting on the floor, thinking and talking about where their lives have taken them. George makes the observation that they're both watchers, and that they should be doers. They see Alex on the next floor down who's "doing" and George of course is envious. Izzie on the other hand is horney. She goes down to Alex and gives a little speech about doers and doing him and all that good stuff. She pushes him into the broom closet and takes her shirt off. This woman is no dummy. I love her.
Addison is finally forced to tell Bailey about her husband. Bailey cries and tells them that she's going to go home and keep the baby in because it can't be born without her husband there. I actually believe her.
Incomming!
Up in Berlin, Burke and the bomb squad leader are looking at the x-ray of the bomb. It's pretty gnarly, taking up half of his chest. Meanwhile, Ricci and Dr. Smith are bonding. He's telling her about the wonderful affects of being blow up by a bomb. Hey, at least he's keeping the conversation going. Nothing like silence with a stranger. Awkward. He then tells her to hold onto the breathing bag thingy. Then he leaves. Walks the frak out, saying something about having kids. What a pus. Meredith and Christina realizes she's in there by herself and by the time Burke and the bomb squad guy make it to the room Meredith is right next to Ricci trying to talk her out of pulling her hand out. She's been standing there long enough that she just wants to give up. Meredith, Christina and Burke encourage her not to take her hand out. But she can't stand it and runs out of the room. Burke, Christina and the bomb squad guy duck. I notice Meredith isn't moving. Once Ricci is out they look back over to the guy and realize Meredith has stuck her hand in the guy's chest. She just keeps repeating, "What have I done? What have I done?" I'll tell you what you've done, you've just stuck your hand millimeters away from a live bomb, all to save this idiot that stepped in front of a BAZOOKA to see if it was working. Der!
