SEASON FINALES

Season finales are upon us. All this week and then next week. I'm way behind on my recaps and I'm going to try and spend the next few days catching up.

Oh no, what's going on there? Looks like they're out. But who's with them? Where's Lincoln?

Bear with me for a few days and I'll try to get through some of them. So far we've seen the end of Grey's, Survivor, Prison Break, and The Amazing Race (all of which will be back in the fall) and I have to say that the three hour season finale of Grey's was probably the best written 3 hours of television I've ever watched. I'll try and hit those tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Look, there's blood, and he looks groggy. Is something wrong with Dr. Burke?


PS I've added a couple pics that will hopefully tide you all over a day or two.

KARMA'S A BITCH... AND SO IS MONICA

When did Phil turn into a midget?


Another show that we're getting down to the wire and I'm excited to see who can pull this off. I know I've been talking about MoJo and how much I've liked them for this whole show, but damn if they're not turning into a**holes. And, the Frat guys, I'm not totally irritated with them. I'm sure that'll change.

As the teams start out, Eric and Jeremy and MoJo are first out of the gate after their near simultaneous appearance at the mat last episode. Eric and Jeremy tell us how much they like it that the hippies and MoJo are fighting. I'm assuming because it means they may not be bringing their A game, but something tells me it's because they're just douches. Sorta anyway. MoJo tells us how much they hate the hippies for whatever reason. Monica also says that they're usually not mean outside of the race, and they're surprised they're such a**holes to the hippies. I am too quite frankly, although I think The Race really brings out your true colors. The two teams come together and borrow a cell phone to call a cab. The clue tells them to go about fifteen miles to the Swan Bell Tower to get their next clue. It's nearly midnight, so my guess is it'll be closed and they'll bunch up again.


The hippies leave just minutes later and the other two teams are waiting for the cabs. Eric and Jeremy playfully don't give them information, not confirming or denying anything really. Mojo on the other hand is downright rude. When the cars come they point out that the cabs are theirs and when one of the guys leans it to ask their driver to call another cab Joseph tells him to get away and not talk to their cab driver. Douche. After the two teams leave BJ and Tyler finally figure out that there's a guy standing nearby with a cell phone and call for their own cab.

About a half an hour later Ray and Yolanda leave. She talks again about how this is the most time they've spent together and now she knows the sound he makes when he brushes his teeth. Do people do it differently? I mean, sometimes I hum, or say the alphabet like the dentist used to tell me when I was a kid. Maybe he moans because he likes the taste of peppermint.

MoJo arrive at the Swan Bells and they find out that it doesn't open until 8am. True, I did write this after I saw the show, so I knew they were going to bunch up, but it was inevitable. Monica approaches a man on the street and asks him if there's a place they can sleep the night. He tells her that she can stay with him for free. Ewe. He turns to Joseph and says he was joking, then waits a beat and says that he wasn't. Ha, that's funny. Joseph just looks at him since he has one of his boys with him and doesn't say anything. Way to defend her honor you tool.

The Frat guys show up, followed by the hippies. Then finally, Ray and Yolanda finally show up and they tell them about the 8am opening time. Ray and Yolanda walk away and one of the frat guys, I think Eric, mentions that Yolanda has Ray on a short leash. Yeah, either that or you're all morons who she doesn't want to spend time with. Joseph comments that his leash is five feet long. Oh, that's his leash? Monica claims she doesn't have him on a leash and from what I know about the couple from this show, I believe her. Joseph was just trying to fit in with the guys. Eric wants to get on this leash thing and since he only has Jeremy, he pipes in that he doesn't let Jeremy out of the house.

Over with BJ and Tyler, they astutely figure out that Eric is flirting with Monica. Eric flirts with horses and poles too, but that's beside the point. The hippies think they can take this flirting and get under Joseph's skin, and then that will make him not bring his A game. Yes, now we've really started playing the game.


The next morning before the doors open, Ray calls a cab and tells them to wait for him, and they'll know him because he's a black male. Does he even want the cab to show up? BJ and Tyler also call a cab. Eric and Jeremy and MoJo go to some little shop and use the fax machine phone to call a cab, reserving it under some dumb name. I'm wondering what the hell he could be doing but then he calls the cab company back and cancels both Ray and Yolanda and the hippies cabs, as MoJo watches. This is so underhanded and mean, and I really wish Ray and Yolanda or the hippies would have thought to do it to MoJo or E&J.

The Bells finally open and the teams run off to get the clue. When they find it they learn they have to fly to Darwin and go to a crocodile farm 1700 miles away. When the teams get downstairs, BJ and Tyler hop into the first cab they see, telling the man that they called for a cab. MoJo is right behind him and the driver says that he's there for Joseph. Eric helps the situation out by telling the driver that BJ or Tyler is in fact "not Joseph". At first BJ and Tyler are adamant that they're staying in the cab, as Joseph keeps telling them to get out. After a minute the hippies give up and let MoJo in. Walking along after they're forced out, Tyler says that it wasn't worth getting into something . BJ's pissed though and says that it was sorta worth a million dollars. Damn, how great is that, you can finally use that line.


Australia looks a lot like Southern California

Ray and Yolanda have finally figured out that their cab isn't coming and call the company again. Low and behold, they find out that their cab was canceled. This is where my dear old friend Karma comes into play. Karma and I go way back (http://primetimetvblog.blogspot.com/2006/03/karmas-filthy-whore.html) And while the Frat guys successfully blocked BJ and Tyler and Ray and Yolanda from getting to a car, their cab doesn't show up. Yolanda's pissed and soon she goes to Eric to complain, saying that "they" canceled the car. Since Eric and Jeremy's car hasn't shown up either, they just assume it was MoJo and Eric doesn't argue. Luckily BJ and Tyler get a car, as do Ray and Yolanda, leaving Eric and Jeremy to ponder the true force of Karma. In the car on the way to the airport Yolanda comments that black people wouldn't get into ponds with crocodiles. Ain't that the truth sista. But then she pauses and says, "or would they", which is funny because they would, for a million dollars. Too bad Tyler doesn't want to be mean for a million dollars.

At the airport MoJo is trying to find the best flight out. They try and bribe the ticket agent to not tell any more of the teams when they arrive, and he wants to know what it's worth. Joseph, being a Rhodes Scholar, says it's worth a million dollars. No you idiot, what's it worth to the ticket agent. Nothing I guess. He doesn't know how to react to that so he quickly says that Monica will kiss him. What's he a pimp now?


The rest of the teams show up, one by one and BJ and Tyler are first in line behind MoJo. BJ wants to know what happened with their taxis and tells them that someone canceled them, obviously being coy and saying it's them without coming up and saying how frakked up it was that they canceled the taxis. Joseph just ignores him and I don't know why he doesn't just turn around and say that Eric and Jeremy are the ones that did it. I wonder if the group is watching the show now and seeing that it wasn't MoJo and feeling bad because they were so mean to them. Probably not. Ray and Yolanda also start wondering what happened and Joseph plays dumb. When BJ and Tyler say that it was Eric and Jeremy who said that, MoJo are surprised, since it was actually Eric and Jeremy who did it. Just say it you bloody bastards. Better them think you were involved then them think you did it.

When Eric and Jeremy finally get there I'm waiting for the sh*t to hit the fan. In fact, it almost does, when Monica says to Eric that everyone thinks they did it. Unfortunately, none of the other teams are paying attention to this and don't pick up on the fact that it was Eric and Jeremy who did it. BJ makes some comment about Eric and Monica's flirting and everyone rolls their eyes. I kinda do too because it's just silly at this point.

The four teams get on the same plane, and the next thing we know we're in Darwin. They all grab a car and drive to the crocodile park, which is closed. There's some banter between Monica and Tyler, with him commenting about not only the bugs being attracted to her, but Eric as well. Eric has a pretty decent comeback, something about putting meat around Joseph's neck so the crocodiles will eat him. Good one E, good one.

The garbage. I bet they found these hats in the garbage.

The next morning the place opens and the teams warily go in. We can see where the clues are, in the middle of the pond dangling above the crocodiles. Now, I have to admit, these crocs aren't crazy like the one that ate Captain Hook's hand, and dare I say a bit cute. Not cute like 'awe, I want to pet it'. Cute like 'awe, I don't want to kill it with a shovel'. The teams put on their crocodile protective pants and wade into the water after very little instruction. Basically, don't put your arms down and don't pick up your feet. Not sure if Jeremy can do both of these things at once. As they're doing this, BJ has on a top hat. I thought they lost all their stuff before. How come he has the hat? Ah, I know, must be Jeremy's. Hot. They get the clue and find out they have to drive to Batchelor, to an airfield. Great, they're doing skydiving, or skydiving. Uh oh, there's a Yield ahead. I wonder who everyone's going to want to Yield.

BJ and Tyler and MoJo get out first, which is great, because you know whoever gets there first will Yield the other. As they drive MoJo inches ahead of the boys by mere seconds, with Tyler saying he's already going fast enough. Tyler is the p*ssy of the two. When they finally get to the airfield, MoJo is slightly ahead still. All four are ready to run. MoJo pulls into the parking spot and BJ and Tyler just stop the car and get out and run, leaving them actually a bit closer to the Yield mat, so they arrive first. Of course they Yield MoJo, which is great. She starts crying like a baby as Joseph is telling her "There's no crying on The Amazing Race!". Dumbass Tyler actually says, "Sorry guys" as they're walking away. Seriously, grow some balls dude.

I *heart* sperming?

BJ and Tyler open the clue and guess what? It's a Roadblock and this person has to skydive, in tandem with an instructor. The other teams get there and although they give MoJo their apologies, why wouldn't you be happy someone besides you is Yielded? They all go do the fun skydiving while MoJo's forced to cry and complain. BJ, Ray, and Eric (who seems to be in this episode a lot) go for it. Monica's still crying and Joseph's telling her not to cry. BJ goes up and comes back down before the sand runs through the hourglass (and so are the days of our lives) Eric next, followed by Ray. We finally get to hear Jeremy talk and he tells Eric that he hopes his chute opens up. Wow, that's nice. When the guys are up, Jeremy takes this time to flirt with Yolanda, saying that if she wasn't with Ray he'd be all over that. He has such a way with words this guy.



The next clue tells them to drive twenty miles to some sort of termite invested mound area to find their next clue. When BJ and Tyler run by MoJo, Tyler and his stupidly gives a thumbs up or nod or something, and I have a feeling Joseph screamed some obscenities, but we'll never know. Joseph then tries to get Monica out of the crying thing and asks if she's pumped to jump out of a plane. She says she is, but she's really not feeling it. He notices and they start arguing again. Arguing so much that they don't see the sand run out of their hourglass. After probably only fifteen seconds or so they notice it and she runs off to do the challenge. The funniest moment of the night comes when Ray finally lands. He's tandem with a man and they're on the ground, in a spoon like position. Yolanda says, "Oh that's so sweet, he's holding you and everything." I'm cracking myself up just writing that. Ha. Good one Yo.

Even though that was pretty funny, when BJ and Tyler get to the mounds and find the clue, BJ tells Tyler not to touch the mounds because termites will eat all the wood in your body. Ha-ha, whoa. The clue at the mounds says that this is a Detour. Wet and Dry. Okay, getting a little better, still not rhyming, but at least those are opposites. In Wet the teams have to basically wade through a river what I think is like a mile or so past insects, and snakes and all around nasty stuff. Once down the river they'll find a bridge with their next clue. This one seems fairly simple since they're not going upstream, but I'm not down with being anywhere near spiders and snakes, so I would choose Dry. In Dry, the teams have to drive to this remote part of the jungle, off-road it a bit and then when they get to a designated place, get out, pick out a didgeridoo and then follow the didgeridoo sounds. Once they find the aborigine with the same pattern on his didgeridoo, they have to sit down with him and each play a note on the instrument. All that sounded real pornographic, but remember, we're in Australia where didgeridoo is a long instrument that makes a low Australian like sound.



BJ and Tyler choose Wet, as do Eric and Jeremy, who are hot on their tail. Ray and Yolanda do the Dry one, since Yolanda can't swim. I think if they had known that the river was only about chest deep, they would have done that. Thank goodness they didn't though because they make it to the place, find their didgeridoo and play it way before the guys make it out of the jungle. In fact, MoJo make it to the didgeridoo place and play it, just about the same time the guys are finishing with their mile down the river. They pass a bunch of spiders, but I'm not going to talk about that.

The clues they get tell them to go to the Pit Stop at Lake Bennett. When we see Phil he's next to some guy with a whip and I wonder what the hell Phil's home life is like. Anyway, for the first time, Ray and Yolanda a) don't get lost and b) come in first! Yay! I love that.

On the road to Lake Bennett, the three teams converge, yet no one really knows how to get to where they're going. Eric and Jeremy flag down an ambulance and so BJ and Tyler stop as well. Tyler, ever the brainiac, asks Eric and Jeremy where it is they're going. Okay, so maybe MoJo's comments about them aren't that off. Tyler also yells for Eric and Jeremy to wait for them. I have to give it to Eric and/or Jeremy, they don't yell out of the window wondering if Tyler has rocks for brains, because that's what I'd do. As the three teams are racing down the road, there's a pixilated shot of what we assume is Joseph flipping BJ and Tyler off. Let me tell you why I find this impossible. We're looking at this through a mirror, and we're seeing the left side of the car, which we all know is not the driver's side of the car in Australia, it's the side of the car the cameraman sits on, so this clearly isn't Joseph flipping them off. He may flip them off, but this isn't it.

Dumbass

When they get close to the Pit Stop, all the teams worry that they are in fact, the last three teams, and Ray and Yolanda are in front of them. Monica moans that she can't beat the hippies in a foot race, and like a good boyfriend, Joseph tries encouraging her. When they finally get there, they make a mad dash to the mat. Eric and Jeremy are clearly the leaders since they probably think some hot Australian chick is waiting for them at the mat. How foolish they'll feel when they realize it's just a guy with a whip. Monica is taking up the rear and BJ and Tyler have this thing won. Unfortunately, someone switched BJ and Tyler's brains and made BJ the dumb one. Instead of going down the bridge, edging out Monica, he decides to go through the lake to try and beat her, since he clearly didn't understand that he was already ahead of her. They show us a slow motion finish which shoes BJ come in just miliseconds after Monica. That stupid f*ck. Sorry, but that was just about the stupidest thing I've ever seen someone do. Monica's standing there with a snide look on her face because she knows she beat him. Phil checks them all in and then when he gets to the hippies he annouces what we all knew, that this is a non-elimination round. Unfortunately, since BJ's a frakkin' fool, he doesn't have any pants or shoes on. I'm happy the hippies are still in it but I want to punch them in their funny faces at the moment.

BALANCING ACT





So we're only a couple episodes away from this amazing season finale I'm sure I'll want to rip my hair out because of. I think we're leading to some quality McDreamy/Meredith time too which is really scaring me. Especially since she's getting some attention from Chris O'Donnell.

In a land called "Every Woman's Fantasy"


In fact, she's sitting at his house in the morning, I'm thinking it's the morning after McDreamy walked in on her all wet and in his shirt and got all jealous, but maybe not. Anyway, Finn is Chris' name and it's quite charming, I think I'll call him that. Finn's cooking her some breakfast, thank the Lords of Kobol because this bitch needs to eat. She tells him that she doesn't cook, so she doesn't expect him to cook. What world are you living in woman? If a man wants to cook for you, do it. Most likely that'll be the only thing he's doing for you. He finally tells her to basically shut the hell up and not be scary and damaged. Ha, he obviously hasn't known her very long, that's what she is.


Why is every shot of this girl ugly? She's not, but she looks like a tranny here.

At home, Meredith and Izzie are in the bathroom, having girl talk. I know this may be odd for some people, men, to think about, but we do that. We put on Crest Whitestrips and talk about our non boyfriends and the guys we want to be our boyfriends. Anyway, while Meredith plucks her eyebrows for no good reason, they talk about her "relationship" with Finn. She admits that she bolted out of the door before they could talk about what a slut she is. When she tells Izzie that they've had four dates and two sleepovers with no sex, Izzie's proud, this isn't the slutty Meredith she knows and loves, but likes her none the less. Suddenly, the door swings open and a groggy, cute underwear wearing, topless Callie walks in. This would be a cute moment, if Callie didn't act like such a bitch around these girls. Instead of waiting, or excusing herself, or asking if they're almost done, she just walks in and pees. After she's done she licks her finger to get the toilet paper off. Who does that? To read a book or magazine, maybe. Still gross and old school, but at least acceptable. She then gets up and leaves. The girls can't believe this. I guess they're used to the smell of urine, but I'm sure not and would have been appalled. What Mere and Izzie can't figure out is why the hell she didn't wash her hands. A surgeon no less! They're weirded out and disgusted.

Finally at the hospital they all catch up in the locker room. The girls talk to everyone about George's weird ass girlfriend peeing naked in front of people she doesn't know. And the fact that she didn't wash her hands. George says that Izzie admitted to blocking the sink. So! The tub has perfectly good water running out of its faucet too. Izzie thinks Callie crossed the line, which Alex thinks is hilarious seeing Izzie's dating one of her patients. Can someone kick Alex in the balls? Please. Christina says they should all just get along. What's up with her you might ask? She had some long name surgery I can’t pronounce or actually know how to spell, plus, to top it off, she got laid. Hey, high five on that last part.

It's a three car smash up and Christina's still happy. She's doing a dance too, which is sorta cute. Speaking of sorta cute but not when he acts like an ass, McDreamy shows up and wonders how "his" dog is. Doc is alright. Her new boyfriend told her so. And it's "their" dog. She wonders what's wrong, as if she can't tell, and he says that they'll talk about it later. Quick girl, run. The victims of the car crash come in. It's a woman, her husband, and her parents. Her and her parents are from some deep back woods, Louisiana/Alabama place and have thick accents. The woman's pregnant and seems to be doing fine. She thinks the airbags helped her. She's yelling into the other room for her husband, wondered if he saw "Mamma and Daddy" breathing. Soon Mamma and Daddy come in and although they look pretty banged up, are well enough to yell back and forth to each other. Daddy gets off the gurney to check on his daughter and Christina tells them all to shut the hell up so she can find the baby's heart beat. Luckily, she does find it. Everyone's happy because it seems like everyone's alright.



The driver of the car who hit them comes in and Daddy freaks out. Mamma tells him to "quit it" since it looks like the driver is pretty hurt himself. Turns out the driver is that Asian kid from American Pie. Nice. As Mamma yells at Daddy, Alex tries to give her an examine. Since he's working with Addy he's on vajayjay patrol. Apparently she calls hers her "Good Girl" and refuses to have Alex look at it since she didn't wear any underwear. Damn, she and Daddy were planning to get freaky later. And hey, if you're one of those women who don't wear underwear, I gotta believe you're not going to get shy when it comes to having a doctor look at it. Alex calls for a chick. His words, not mine. In the driver's room, his name is Marshall, Meredith learns that he's also a surgical intern, at some hospital across the way that's nowhere near as cool as Seattle Grace. McDreamy checks him out and tells him to remember three words and then orders tests. Since this is the perfect moment, Meredith tries to talk to him, but he blows her off again. Unfortunately, when she goes back to Marshall he can't remember the three words. In all honestly, I couldn't either, and I paused it to remember.

In the X-ray room, they look at Daddy's X-ray and it looks normal. At least that's what they say. Alex calls them stupid hicks, and Izzie says that at least they probably wash their hands after they pee. How could she know that, really? Bailey interrupts the pee talk and tells them to discharge the parents. When Addy finally finds Alex, she wonders why he's not upstairs. He uses the pregnant lady as an excuse to be down there, which I guess it kinda is. Because you can't bullsh*t a bullsh*tter, she tells him that since he's so concerned for the pregnant woman, instead of scrubbing into the surgeries, he can hang out with her all day. Bailey tells Izzie to work on the husband's broken patella.

Christina's putting the wife, Mel, into a CT machine. Mel wonders if the baby will be hurt and Christina assures her that she won't. Mel says that they were having the baby shower that day and that's why her parents were in Seattle. Alex comes in all pissed, saying he's Captain of the Vagina Squad. Hey, there are worse things you could be captain of. Captain of the STD Squad. Captain of the Ho Squad. Actually, Alex is the captain of those squads too. Christina then pawns talkative Mel onto Alex.

Ouch


George checks on Marshall who's looking over his chart to see what could have happened to make him swerve into traffic and hit these two cars that happened to have people who are related in them. George says that there are no serious complications, yet. Izzie then comes in and tells Callie that she's been assigned to her for the patella surgery. Callie looks thrilled and tells her to prep the OR. Before she can go Izzie makes hand washing gestures to George behind Callie's back. When she leaves George finally asks her about it and she ignores his hand washing questions and then pops a bone back into place on Marshall. Ewe. Eventually McDreamy goes into Marshall's room and wonders if Meredith got the CTU (haha, that was a total mistype but how funny. 24 rules!) She didn't get the CT and he fumes, yelling at her to get it, now!

Christina meets up with Burke in the hallway and she says that "Daisy Duke" is boring her. I don't know why, she's hilarious to me. She wants in on any heart surgeries. He is cutting her some looks so she wonders what's going on. He tells her that she fell asleep during their time earlier, you know, having relations. She doesn't believe him since she finished, twice. Apparently he's a man after all women's hearts because he pleased her (twice) first and then she just fell asleep. She apologized and says that she did just come off of a long surgery, and she is a surgeon first. Yeah, but he's a person first, he says. Christina's so the dude in the relationship.



Izzie gets paged and when she rounds the corner she sees Denny on the ground, not looking too great. I mean, how can this man not look great, but you get what I'm saying. He tried to do the stairs. Man, if this tires him out I can't even begin to think what a romp in the on call room would do to him. Once back in bed, Denny tells Burke that he wants to go home. He's tired of being locked up in the hospital. You'd think they'd put the poor guy into a chair and at least walk him around the parking lot. Burke tries to calm him down and outside of his room Izzie wonders what they can do. Burke says to keep him on a tight leash. Whoa, whoa, if steps almost killed him, any of that sadomasochistic crap will surely kill him. Izzie then calls him Preston and ask him again what they have to do. Um, I don't know how calling him by his first name will get a better answer out of him. The personal thing does get another answer, he tells her to give Denny some room. Wait, you're the woman in the relationship, you don't say that. She's supposed to smother him.

Mel's CT is commencing and we hear some drum beats so this can't be good. I don't know what we're looking at but she's frakked up. Bailey tells Alex to page every surgeon on the show, Shepherd, Burke, Montgomery-Shepard, the Chief, and any extras waiting in the trailer and have them come to the OR, stat! Bailey tries to talk to Mel but she's not responding.

George is walking down the hall and Callie questions him about where the hell Izzie is. He ignores her and goes into Noah, the husband's, room. Mamma and Daddy are in there too. George breaks it down to them that she was doing ok in the ER because adrenaline was pumping in her veins, now that that's gone, her body's succumbing to the full extent of her injuries. He calls them catastrophic. No beating around the bush here. In the operating room all the doctors are in there working on Mel. Alex is peeved that he can't be in there cutting, he's just watching the baby's heart. Addy tells him to suck it up and goes over to the table. The baby's okay for now, but the Chief says that all they can do is damage control. They have to work as quickly as possible but as soon as they reach The Triangle, they have to stop. Alex wants to know what The Triangle is, besides a kick at movie on The Sci Fi Channel. I don't really get it but I guess at some point, the blood stops clotting, the muscles produce acid and the organs get called. This is what's called the Triangle of death. Or as I like to call it Sh*t Outta Luck.



Meredith's with Marshall who can't believe what's going on. He had stayed on to do a twelve hour surgery after a thirty hour work day and must have dozed off for a second while driving home. He can't believe that earlier that morning he saved at a life, and now he may have cost a pregnant woman hers. Well, in all reality Marshall, YOU probably didn't save the person earlier, it was probably your resident or attending, but it's nice you think you're part of the team. Anyway, the CT tech comes out and says they're ready for Marshall. Meredith wants a second to talk to someone that's more frakked up then her and the tech bitches. When Meredith finally turns back around, Marshall's gone.

In Denny's room Izzie's trying to bribe him to want to live by giving him chocolate and Star Magazine. I think taking your shirt off would be a better way to convince him to live. He gets mad at her and says that he's a strong virile man stuck in this weak ass body and he's not happy about it. He then tells her that she didn't understand that and that's why she made him get this battery run heart. Izzie looks a bit guilty.

In the operating room with Mel, the baby's fading and no one seems to want to listen to Alex. Finally, the Chief says they're at The Triangle and to stop working. They reluctantly stop. Since she's still basically alive, even though her heart is erratic, they're going to cover her with plastic and put her in the OR, still open. If that's not the nastiest thing I've ever seen I don't know what is. They do this? They're just going to see what happens. McDreamy looks up from whatever part of the body he was working on, the brain I guess but don't know why, and sees Marshall in the observation gallery. Yikes.

Even angry this man is hot

As Marshall finally gets his CTU (ha, I did it again. Jack Bauer on the brain), McDreamy starts yelling at Meredith. What starts out as a do better at work, turns into a do better at life. He tells her to take responsibility for once in her life.

With Mamma and Daddy, Bailey tells them what's going on. Basically she's done for. They have to wait until she gets her strength back to operate, but if they wait too long she's going to die. It's a balancing act. The parents cry and Bailey puts Christina in charge of making sure Mel stays stable. Out in the hall, thankfully, Addison tells Alex to stay with the woman and watch the fetal monitor. Alex wonders why, that she's "circling the drain". Seriously, someone needs to beat him. Addison then gives an awesome speech. She says that a baby can live inside it's mother for four or five minutes, not seconds and that everyone on the floor is watching the mother and seeing if she's okay, but Alex will be the only one in charge of the baby. That's he's the only one responsible for whether the baby lives or dies. Um, you wanna rethink who you put in charge of that lady? She has a surgery so she leaves, leaving Alex a bit shaken.

The girls are in the lobby talking about what it must be like to be like Marshall, that they've all been there, so tired you fall asleep in the parking lot on a bench, or on a table during the date, or during sex with a hot man. George comes over and wonders why Izzie blew off Callie's surgery. She says she was with Denny and George can't believe she was just sitting in there with him. Izzie says not to judge her, that his girlfriend doesn't wash her hands. This gets snickers from the other girls. I could totally go for a Snickers right now. George gives Meredith the evil eye which causes her to stop laughing. He walks away and Christina says that it's okay, if Burke could forgive her for falling asleep during sex, then George can forgive her for crying. Problem is, Burke hasn't forgiven her. That's right.

George finds Callie and tells her that Izzie was with a patient. Callie says that she knew he'd take her side. Before George can defend himself Callie leaves and tells him to give Noah an IV. Noah tries to make a joke about George's love life, wondering what he did to make this woman so upset. George wonders why he's all happy, seeing that his wife is split open upstairs. Noah tells George that he met and fell in love with Melly and everyone in Seattle thought he was crazy. Everyone in Seattle is prejudice against people from the South? That's rude. He says he didn't care, that he loved her and that he'd rather think about something else, like George love life then burying his twenty two year old wife and baby. Damn George, you could have just went with it. George explains to Noah about the hand washing incident, which isn't the best thing to tell someone who just had surgery from her.


Meredith is finally able to give McDreamy the CT results. He's okay, the memory loss was probably just from the concussion he suffered. Marshall says that he wants to apologize to Mamma and Daddy about what happened. McDreamy sorta blows him off and leaves. Meredith follows him out into the stairwell and admits that she never should have told him about George. He says that he's glad he knows about George, and the vet and that wow, she sure does get around. Damn. She questions him about what he just said because honestly, did he really just go there? Derek wonders who's next on her list, maybe it should be Alex, he gets around too. He starts to walk away but Meredith stops him. Girl's gotta defend herself. She tells him that he doesn't get to call her a whore. Not that he really did, but I see where she's going. She says that she thought, when she met him, that she met the person she was going to spend the rest of her life with. She said she was done with her whoring, daddy issue ways, but then Addison came back and he chose her. She says that nows she's glued back together again and she makes no apologizes for how she chose to repair what he broke. That he doesn't get to call her a whore. Hot damn! You go girl! Tell 'em sista! Sorry, but that was a good little speech. He then tells her that what they had is over. Hello! It was over about twenty three episodes ago. Where has he been?

In Mel's room, the doctors are standing around, whispering. Mamma's there and says that they dont' have to whisper, that's her baby and she should hear everything. Not that she'll understand much, but regardless. She says she's been part of every decision her daughter's ever made, so she should be a part of this one. They agree and without whispering say that they should operate soon, that she's going to be going into multiple organ failure. The Chief looks at Mamma and says that if he's okay with her, they want to go back in and finish what they started.

The surgery starts and it's not looking good. The baby's heart rate is down and failing so the Chief tells Alex to go get Addy. He does but she's elbow deep in uterus. How far is she reaching into that body? She tells Alex to do what he can that she'll be there as soon as she can. What was all that four or five minute talk she had with him before. She doesn't seem too worried.

In the insensitive moment of the week, as Momma and Daddy wait for news of what's going on with George, Meredith pokes her head in. George reluctantly goes over, since they aren't really talking. Meredith says that Marshall wants to apologize to the family, but he's reluctant. She reminds him that Marshall is one of them. George nods, but not in a "okay I'll bring them in" kinda way. Just in a "okay I heard you" kinda way.



Alex returns to the OR and tells them that Addison isn't able to come in, that there are no other OB-GYNs in the whole damn place. Mel's heart isn't beating anymore and Alex wonders how long she's been down. They say five minutes, which in ER time is nothing, they keep pumping on people for forty five minutes on that show. Alex makes a decision and tells them that he's going to do a C-section. He approaches with a scalpel and asks Bailey what to do. Since this lady's dead anyway, why can't Bailey or the Chief or someone besides Alex do this? I don't know, but it's quite exciting. Alex is able to get the baby out who's all small and purple and not looking too great. The other doctors finally give up on Mel and calls time of death. Addison decides to show up now and sees Alex giving the baby CPR. Finally the baby starts crying.




In the second worst timing of the episode, George finally brings Daddy into see Marshall. Daddy is pissed and looks like he could kick Marshall's tiny little ass at any moment. Marshall's lying the hospital bed so it'd be easy. Marshall squeaks out that he's sorry. Daddy walks up, still looking like he's going to kick some Asian ass. Instead, Daddy gently touches Marshall's shoulder and strokes his face. Totally crying now. Me, not them. Marshall does sob for a second while Daddy stands over him still. Daddy finally just leaves.

In a land called "Every Woman's Fantasy"


In with Izzie and Denny, damn I almost forgot about them. Izzie closes the shades to his door and he says that he's not going to cheer up. She then gets in bed with him and cuddles on his chest. If that doesn't cheer a man up I don't know what will. That cheered me up and I was just watching it.



At Christina and Burke's, he stares at her over a book as they eat dinner, mentioning how tired she must be. Not as tired as this morning obviously. At the hospital, Noah is in the NICU sitting with his baby as Alex watches, sorta proud. I guess that's what that face means. Addison tries to say what a good job he did, but Alex always has to bring someone down and says that yeah the baby's alive, but it doesn't have a mother. It has Mamma and Daddy though. In the locker room George and Meredith are ignoring each other, until George remembers the father forgiving the guy for killing his daughter and he's just mad at Meredith for crying during sex. It's not like she laughed during sex, that would have just been wrong. He says to her that he'll see her at home. She's surprised and says okay. In with Izzie and Denny he wonders if it would be wrong if he felt her up. Haha, no. It wouldn't be wrong at all.



In the boiler room with Callie and George, she says that she didn't wash her hands in the bathroom because the girls were staring at her like she was a rodent. Hello! You walked in topless and peed in front of them! She claims it felt like she was having that naked in high school dream. She then tells him that he has to stand up for her, and I get a weak flashback of some 80s movie that I'm sure I'll remember tomorrow. And then she says that she went downstairs and washed her hands. He lies down with her and says he's sorry.



At Finn's house, he's cooking again. Seriously, where do these women find these men and why can't there be any in Los Angeles? She thinks that maybe this relationship isn't a good idea. I mean, why would it be, he's hot, takes care of animals, and cooks, why would any sane woman want that? She admits that she is probably scary and damaged. More then he can handle. He finally stops what he's doing and says that his mother died, from cancer when he was ten, that she suffered during it. His father also never recovered from it and sounds like an alcoholic. He says that the last woman he slept with was his wife (sh*t) but that shit died (whew) and that it was in a car crash, thankfully quick. He then tells her how great she is, and that he never said he wasn't scary and damaged too. She then goes in for a kiss, cause come on, who wouldn't?
