Is it just me or is Grey's AMAZING this season? The last episode of last season, with the shooting in the hospital, was just about the most amazing two hours of Grey's EVER. I'm using a lot of caps in this recap. Haha, get it, cap, recap. Yeah, I'm lame. So just a quick reminder to anyone who didn't watch the finale, Reed was killed (who cares), Alex was shot, Owen was shot, Meredith had a miscarriage, Derek was shot, Cristina saved his life and the big oafy intern died. It was amazing. There were moment of genius. Cristina's hands in Derek's chest as the gunman held the gun to her head and Meredith pleading for his life "Shoot me. Dr. Webber, I'm the closest thing he has to a daughter, Lexie Grey is my sister and the man on the table, I'm his wife, so shoot me." Ugh, just writing that makes me sad and happy and everything a good show should make you feel. Oh, and then when he shoots Owen and Derek is still alive and Meredith is in shock and Cristina yells, "I save your guy, you save mine!". Tears! Oh, and then when Cristina is having all those problems and Meredith tells her "Derek is the love of my life but you're my soul mate". OMG I love this show. Okay, one more time, when Cristina left Owen the day after they got married because she freaked out in the O.R. and she and Meredith were talking about her marriage and Meredith was convincing her to give it another try and she agreed and then Owen showed up and gave her this amazingly romantic and wonderful speech and Meredith says, "Nice speech, but I fixed her right before you walked in."
The first episodes back have been so good. Not as amazing as the finale, but seriously, how can you beat a crazy gunman shooting surgeons? Ya can't, it was just great. Anyway, Meredith had a miscarriage and at first wasn't telling Derek about it, but Derek was driving around going a hundred miles an hour and getting arrested so she finally told him. April, the intern that unknowingly got Derek shot, whose best friend was killed (Reed) and who Meredith went through her miscarriage and craziness with, moved in to her house. And for some reason Avery is there as well, which I'm not sure that was ever answered, but do I care? He's like, amazingly amazingly handsome. In the last episode he flirted with Teddy who at first was falling for it but then totally rejected him. She needs to use him as a sexual rebound. That's what I'd do.
Lexie and Alex broke up and Sloane was pining after her but then when Derek's sister came into town he realized he shouldn't wait around for Lexie, but Lexie was ready by then and caught Sloane and Baby Shephard hooking up. Speaking of babies, cute baby doc Arizona moved in with Callie after their big break up and get back together last season finale. Unfortunately, Cristina and her HUSBAND Owen still live there. But don't worry, after some very loud lady sex Cristina and Owen decided to move.
Cristina's been freaking out in the O.R. and they wanted to pull her from the program but Derek said "If she goes, I go" which was another one of those amazing Derek moments. He took her under his wing and tried to coax her back into the O.R. but she just couldn't do it. Owen tried to get her back in the episode before and she wound up on the floor in a ball. And then this past episode Bailey tried to get her in as well and she wouldn't go. I thought Derek had made progress though because he did take her down to the morgue and had her perform the same surgery she did on him, just so she knows she still has it, and it seemed like she did.
Now Meredith has a hostile uterus and she and April are tighter. Lexie was a little jealous of that until Meredith finally told her that April was there during her miscarriage and has made them closer. Poor Lexie, she doesn't have Alex, Sloane and Meredith is treating April sisterly. But in all fairness, Lexie went cray cray after the shooting, so I'm not sure how much I'd trust her either.
The cases on the last few episodes have been fine, but it's not really about the cases. The cases make them realize things, but the actual cases aren't that interesting. Yeah, the girl who swallowed a condom at her bachlorette party so her fiance was upset was kinda funny. Oh, and there was this guy who had this weird disease where he looked like a tree. Lexie almost threw up on the guy a few times, and really, I don't blame her. I was eating dinner during that part and had to stop. Derek's sister (he has like 5) came to visit and told him that she wanted to hear how he was since he didn't call after he was shot. Come to find out, Baby Shephard was just five when she and Derek witnessed their father shot at the store he owned. So Derek was trying to shelter her. It was a sweet moment, and made me lust after Derek even more.
