Hook, Line & Sinner, huh? No, no, no, not on my watch.

This episode is now renamed ‘Bent Not Broken.’ I’ve decided this because of the lovely Arizona’s speech towards the end of this episode. She delivered the line “I’m not broken” so perfectly that I immediately thought to find a song with ‘broken’ in the title. It also helps that Arizona is, well… bent. *silence* Not to be derogatory in any way, of course.

Surgery of the Week.

To be quite honest, I can’t really remember any surgery this week other than this:

Excuse the graphic quality of the above photograph.

I love that freakish stuff always happens at Seattle Grace Mercy West. Can anyone remember the guy with the bomb in his chest? Of course, nothing is simple during surgery, and cardio surgeon Teddy sneezing right on cue during a pivotal moment of holding the body cavity still in order for Owen to extract the hook. Woops.

This results in Derek nearly firing Teddy and giving her job to a more qualified surgeon. Luckily, he declines, meaning that Teddy keeps her job and leaves us keeping our fingers crossed that she and Owen will finally get together! (Again.)

Romantic Moment of the Week.

Okay, this wasn’t really romantic, but actually quite heart-breaking.

After watching Callie & Arizona bicker about having a baby throughout the entire episode, Callie tells her girlfriend that she doesn’t need a baby. Of course, she doesn’t mean it and starts to cry.

This followed by Arizona simply saying the word ‘don’t', followed by a kiss. The kiss itself was very romantic, but mostly, it was just extremely sad that Callie has given up her dream for Arizona. Again, this act seems quite romantic, but anyone who knows Callie’s romantic history will know that she is always the one who has to work in a relationship. Give her a break, Shonda!

Bailey Moment of the Week.

I’m appalled that Bailey actually got less screen time than a freakin’ newborn baby this week. But whatever.

Bailey’s top moment this week was when she told Lexie to stop letting Alex walk all over her.

Lexie realized that they had misdiagnosed the hook in side guy and that he was in fact infected. Bailey simply tells her to stop doing what Alex says because he is giving her sex and do what she has to do for her own career. Right on.

Quote of the Week.

This week, Bailey states the obvious.

You may be thinking ‘then why does she get quote of the week?’ Well…

“I’m Dr. Bailey. I know everything.”

And she so obviously does. The way Chandra Wilson says this line is actually perfect. Comedic timing and all. I gotta say that Bailey remains to be one of my favourite characters, and she has been from the very beginning.

Overall Episode Rating: 6 out of 10.

I actually enjoyed parts of this episode, but it’s general depressive nature has given me cause to give it a lower rating than the last episode. I loved all the drama with Callie & Arizona because it was perfectly acted, but the whole Mark/Sloane/baby thing is getting far too blue now. Let’s move on.
