Grey’s Anatomy Review: I Like You So Much Better When You’re Naked

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

You’re probably thinking ‘Another Grey’s review? Already?!’ But I have to admit, I only posted so late last week because I’m a huge procrastinator. Also, we’re totally having a bit of a clean-up here at the Wiggle, so your Grey’s reviews will actually be published every Friday.

Without fail… Possibly.

Anyway, this week we see the return of Izzie… Again.

The picture above may look like a fairytale ending, but trust me, it’s far from it.

Surgery of the Week.

There was actually more surgery than usual this week. But in the end, I chose to praise Dr. Altman once again.

I don’t really even approve of Altman as a character – I’ve never really warmed to her. But this week, we saw her do something selfless.

This week, her surgery was to remove a tumour from the lung of a large, gay, male singer. Before she went into surgery, the singer told her he couldn’t live without his lung – he wouldn’t be able to sing any more. So what did Altman do? Altman saved the frickin’ lung! In the words of Meredith, Altman “was a God today”.

Romantic Moment of the Week.

Romance… Uhhh…

There was actually more breaking up than romance this week.

So the only thing I could really come up with for this category was the way in which Lexie and Arizona admired their better halves this week. Arizona claims she “finds her [Callie] miraculous” and Lexie says “everything he [Sloane] does is sexy”. Sweet? Very.

And the fact that they confide in each other (they don’t really know each other so well, do they?) makes it even sweeter. Love or surgery? I think they’d both probably choose love.

Bailey Moment of the Week.

So the Chief has an alcohol problem. Duh. We sorta noticed it this week when he gave Grey a super-difficult surgery when it was previously given to Bailey.

But she got it back just in the nick of time.

The way she snatched the surgery out of Grey’s hands showed her who was boss. Just face it, Mer: you’ll never be Bailey.

Quote of the Week.

I’m not sure if I should label ‘Quote of the Week’ under ‘Quote(s) of the Week’ from now on. I suppose it’d make sense.

So, QUOTES of the week this week go like this:

Arizona: You’re hot.

Callie: You’re hot too.

Arizona: No, you’re… (unsure) hot.

Callie: (Laughs) Oh, okay. Thanks!

Arizona: No stop, I think you have a fever… (Uncovers Callie’s chest.) What is that?

Callie: What?

Arizona: Oh my God. Pox. Pox! You have chicken pox!

YES. During the search for a bit of fun before they scrub in, Callie & Arizona stumble upon something very different. Chicken pox!

Sounds stupid, but the way they did it was actually pretty funny, and we later see Callie going insane over her scratching. Amazing.

Overall Episode Rating: 8.5 out of 10. Meanwhile, we had a lot of drama with Yang and Altman over whether she should choose Hunt over surgery and also a lot of drama over the Chief’s drinking problem. Derek tells Meredith if she lets him go to the medical board, he will become Chief and give Izzie her job back.

Decisions, decisions!
