Grey’s Anatomy Review: I Saw What I Saw

***WARNING: This poster may contain spoilers.***

Well this week’s Grey’s was the most dramatic in a while! A simple prognosis was botched, leaving the Chief and co. to decipher whose fault the mess-up really was.

Anyone who watches Grey’s will know that when they do drama, they do it good. The acting was great this week as tensions rose: fights broke out and even the nicest of people (Dr. Robbins) ended up taking it out on an intern. (The intern deserved it, by the way.)

Again, the episode was not great for my topics (should I change them?!) but I’ll do the best I can.

Surgery of the Week.

There was little visible surgery again this week, so it is no surprise that Bailey was the one to win this category this week.

Excuse the disgusting picture above, but Bailey’s surgery this week involved removing an axe from the chest of a patient. Gross.

Obviously there was no time to get this guy to an O.R. before he bled out, so Bailey performed the surgery right there in the trauma room. You think that’s heroic enough? Then get down and bow before Miranda, ’cause the patient actually lived!

Romantic Moment of the Week.

Romance, romance, where for art thou romance? I’d say there was even less romance this week than there was last week! So what can I scrape together?

Does Karev not being able to concentrate for thinking about Izzie count as romance? Well everytime we saw him this week, he was on the phone trying to get her back, so I guess that counts for something.

Note to Grey’s writers: include at least a little bit of romance next week please, instead of providing us with this desperate idiot.

Dr. Bailey Moment of the Week.

In regards to surgery of the week: Bailey made a serious procedure actually quite, well… humourous!

When one of the Mercy West surgeons faints holding the axe in Bailey’s patient’s chest, Bailey’s first reaction was to shout ‘WHAT DID I SAY?!’ This doesn’t sound funny when you read it, but with Bailey’s accent and brassiness, it was hard not to laugh. She then proceeds to call the same surgeon ’stupid’ repeatedly in her interrogation. I love her.

Quote of the Week.

The quote this week was a long one! In fact, it was more like a monologue.

“We have to make him feel worse before we can make him feel better. So if you’re having feelings, you’re gonna have to shut them down. You need to shut them down and talk to him about his future and remind him that he has one, past all of this pain. And if you can’t do that – if you can’t do your job – then you find someone who can and you send them to me.”

This was said by Arizona to Lexie, after Lexie started crying when the paediatric surgeon gave her orders to comfort the patient. This was my quote of the week, because Robbins seems to be slowly turning into Bailey! It was said with such similarity and a kick-ass tone that I thought only Chandra Wilson was capable of. Jessica Capshaw is surely turning into my favourite actress on the show.

Overall episode rating: 8 out of 10 – the marks all given for the dramatic, cliffhanger quality to this episode. The other 2 points were deducted for not enough Callie and Arizona togetherness.
