Alright! Another episode of Grey’s. And what a week.
This episode saw flashbacks of 3 of our favourite surgeons: Miranda Bailey, Richard Webber and Callie Torres. I thought Torres was a bit of a strange choice because she’s not as high profile as the other two, but it worked anyway. Check out 90s Bailey:
Quite hilariously, she went by the name of ‘Mandy’ back then.
Surgery of the Week.
I would say surgery of the week, but it’s really surgery from 5 years ago.
That’s right, we see Callie operate on what I think is a victim of severe polio. I mean really severe. Check out the picture!
Anyway, Callie reforms the bones in this guy’s legs in order for him to walk again. It’s a real tear-jerker. And shows the talent of the surgeons at Seattle Grace.
Romantic Moment of the Week.
Again, more of a sexual moment, but still it was pretty romantic.
Yep, that’s a young Ellis Grey and an even younger Richard Webber getting it on in the on call room. Of course, the pair were cheating on their partners during this time, but it is obvious now why they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. This was a pretty great part to the story.
Bailey Moment of the Week.
Turns out Bailey wasn’t always a hard ass.
That’s right, as an intern, ‘Mandy’ let her resident surgeon walk all over her. Until this moment, anyway.
Bailey took it upon herself to find the real diagnosis for one of her resident’s patients, lashing out at her because she did not do her best to treat her patient. Webber witnesses the whole thing and takes her into his office to tell her what a fine surgeon she will become. Don’t we know it?!
Quote of the Week.
I don’t want to bore you with the details of the quote this week. Because basically, the quote of the week is the Hippocratic oath.
I’ll give you an extract:
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
Etc… etc…
The oath was recited by (current day) Webber to the rest of the surgeons at Seattle Grace, leaving us all feeling proud to be surgeons. Even though we’re not. But whatever.
Overall Episode Rating: 8 out of 10. Loved the flashbacks this week and Sara Ramirez looked stunning. One of the best episodes in a while.
