Sympathy for the Parents? Actually, it’s quite a good name. And apparently it’s a Marilyn Manson song. Lovely.

For the purposes of this ‘re-naming the episodes’ gig, I’m going to go a little softer on the rock ‘n’ roll vibe and stick with Guns ‘n’ Roses’ ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’.

Why? Because this week’s episode was all about everyone wanting babies.

Seriously. We have Callie swooning for a baby, Derek bringing up the idea of babies to Meredith, Bailey thinking about her little boy pronouncing his words correctly and even Alex’s little brother comes to town. Nice links there, Shonda.

Surgery of the Week.

Just had to go for Yang firing a bullet into a patient’s chest.

Resident army experts Teddy and Owen tell the gang that the bullets they’re dealing with are called ‘Devastators’ and Yang moves one too quickly, not knowing that this could cause one to be fired.

The patients lives, but Owen fumes. Teddy however, is more sympathetic with Cristina, telling her that they just forget sometimes that they’re all ‘civilians’. Yeah, super clever civilians who save lives.

Romantic Moment of the Week.

Uhhhhh… Romance?

Yeah let’s skip that one this week. Far too tense for any romance, aside from a few pecks between MerDer and a little tiny sexy scene between Mark and Teddy.

Bailey Moment of the Week.

Bailey becomes, just for a moment, maternal.

Now I’m not a baby person, but watching Bailey talk about how proud you can feel when a little person you created yourself, whether that creation was intentional or not, does something new, it made me a baby person.

Bailey made me a baby person. And if you know me, you know I’m pretty much like Yang: NOT A BABY PERSON. Okay, I’m going to stop putting those 2 words together now.

Quote of the Week.

After Arizona comes into the cafeteria whilst Mark & Callie are having a chat to pick up some pound cake, a little bit of hilarious dialogue comes about.

Mark: So, what exactly constitutes “pound cake?”
Callie: It’s a yellow cake. Kinda heavy.
Mark: C’mon, it’s code for something dirty. You eat her pound cake, she eats your pound cake…
Callie: No.
Mark: Oh please. Tell me it’s dirty because otherwise, that was the most boring conversation I’ve ever been a part of.
Callie: We are talking about pound cake because I want a kid and she doesn’t. And we are not talking about that.

I love the way Mark’s mind works.

Overall Episode Rating: 7.5 out of 10.

Nothing overwhelmingly dramatic or significant went on this week, but it was a neat, tidy and nicely filmed episode. Bravo.
