***WARNING: This post may contain spoilers.***
Firstly, I apologize for not re-capping this episode sooner. But there’s a new episode this week, so I thought I better do it soon!
It’s the holidays this week on Grey’s – we see right through from Thanksgiving up until New Year. A lot of time in 40 minutes, but they manage!
Surgery of the Week.
This episode was packed with great surgical moments. But in the end, I decided to go with Derek and his brain surgery.
Because the front of the brain was not accessible first time round, Derek, along with Slone, Robbins and a bunch of other surgeons invent a new device that enters the brain from the nasal cavity.
Why does this win surgery of the week? Because they defeated all odds, creating a device that had never actually been tested before and being successful in the end. Would this happen in real life? Probably not.
Romantic Moment of the Week.
Romantic moment this week goes to Yang and Hunt, who practically chew each other’s faces off outside A&E.
In this scene, Hunt explains to Cristina that he loves her because he loves her, not because he owes her anything. This is a moment we’ve all been waiting for, because to be honest, I didn’t really know if Hunt genuinely loved her before this. Aww.
Bailey Moment of the Week.
Once again, Bailey kicks total ass this week.
This week we see Bailey’s Father, after he finds out that she had a divorce months ago and did not tell him. He worries about the welfare of his grandson and his upbringing, but Bailey lashes out at the table, on Christmas days nonetheless, and shows the whole of the Seattle Grace staff (minus Callie, who is working) why they should be afraid of her.
Quote of the Week.
It’s not so much quote of the week, but the best speech this week is definitely the amazing acapella performance in the background by Sara Ramirez (who plays Dr. Torres) who cannot actually be seen when her pipes are giving it their all.
In true Christmas spirit, she sings ‘Silent Night’, which I’m sure you all know the words to, but I’m going to give you the opening lines anyway, just to keep to usual house rules.
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright.
That is all.
Overall Episode Rating: 7 out of 10. Not the best, but I really liked the structure and the amount of surgery this week.

What started out as a funny, romantic, easy-going show focusing on McDreamy, McSteamy and other quirky characters like Christina soon became a circus of crazy and dead people and other general nonsense that totally changes the nature of the show.
