On with the categories…

Surgery of the Week.

Quite a few great surgeries this week, but I’m going to have to vouch for the arm amputation by Sloane, Hunt and Little Grey.

Seems like a random place to put a severed arm, but they attached it to the patient’s left hip. Why? To preserve it, of course!

Yeah *ahem*… Of course. Don’t ask me how this works, but it seems pretty amazing anyway I suppose.

Romance of the Week.

What did I tell you? The romance was scarce. Makes no sense, seeing as it was Valentine’s Day. But this week, Callie and Arizona finally fixed Bailey up with the hot anaesthesiologist from last week.

Seems that Bailey blushed a little when she told him she liked him. And you should all know that Bailey never blushes.

It was cute anyway, I’m not sure about romantic. Maybe next week we’ll see where that goes…

Bailey Moment of the Week.

Both of Bailey’s greatest moments fall into romance and surgery this week.

So we’re gonna recycle that for the exact moment in which she told the guy, after plucking up all the courage she could muster, that she liked him. Oh, the excitement.

Quote of the Week.

For, I think, the first time, Quote of the Week is won by Grey.

“You’re gonna have to make this up to me with a lot of sex.”

Granted, there weren’t many great quotes this week, but I thought this was mildly humorous, especially for Grey, as she often seems to be the fun sponge among the group.

Overall Episode Rating: 6 out of 10. I had high hopes for this episode because it was the Valentine’s one. I was a little disappointed however, simply because nothing really surprising happened. Let’s hope for better next week.

Last week saw the return of Izzie. This week saw the return of Arizona’s heelies.

Hurrah! We shall rejoice.

As much as I would like to spend the whole review talking about how much I missed those little booties, there are more pressing issues at hand.

Surgery of the Week.

Although it wasn’t really a surgery, Altman notes that Karev performed a miracle this week: he blocked a tear in the main aortic artery.

Now I don’t know a lot about surgery, but Alex’s instinct saw him cut open his patient out of the OR and stick his hands right in there. Turns out, this saved a life. Kudos.

Romantic Moment of the Week.

You know when I say ‘romantic’, I often mean ’sexy’.

And this week, our resident sex-a-holics really lived up to their name.

Yang and Hunt did the deed at least four times during the episode. One of these times saw Yang end up with burns on her behind and another meant that Yang skipped a major surgery, but it was worth it in the spur of the moment.

Too bad it ended in tears…

Bailey Moment of the Week.

There were SO many great Bailey moments this week that it was hard to choose which was best.

In the end, I thought I’d praise the fact that she finally put an end to the looming storyline of how Webber needs to seek help.

We also saw Miranda give the anaesthesiologist a stern talking to in true Bailey fashion, but people have been trying to convince the (ex-)Chief to go to rehab all day, yet Bailey was the only one who succeeded.

Brownie points go to Chandra Wilson (who plays Dr. Bailey) week – those were a lot of speeches, and every one of them was acted with stunning conviction. Awesome.

Quote of the Week.

For the past few weeks, we’ve had large paragraphs of text for our quotes.

So this week, I thought I’d go for one of Robbins’ rare one-liners:

“This really isn’t gunna work for me…”

The fact that these 3 are sharing a bed really is comedic when you cast your eyes and ears on it. LOL-a-thon indeed.

Overall Episode Rating: 8.5 out of 10. Great drama, great acting, great story lines without over-powering us.

Next week, it’s Valentine’s Day in Seattle. But which of the couples will be truly happy?

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!

New history. Hmm… The title obviously refers to Dr. Hunt and the new cardio surgeon Dr. Altman.

Yeah, something clearly went on there, once upon a time. It obvious from the get go.

Surgery of the Week.

Surgery this week goes to Hunt’s current slice, Cristina Yang.

In spite of the fact that Yang thinks Dr. Altman hates her, she actually proposes that Yang performs some serious heart surgery on a patient of the new surgeon. Of course, Yang thriving off cardio as she does, she cannot wait to do it and executes it to perfection. To say she’s been out of practice, Cristina still has it.

Romantic Moment of the Week.

For once, the shows ‘main’ couple actually show us some romance this week.

Meredith and Derek (also know as ‘MerDer’) have a chat this week, as Grey reveals that she would like another ‘perfect 5 seconds’ sometime soon. Shepherd proceeds to kiss her face 5 times in different places, making her wish come true. It’s cute. Is being cute different to being romantic? Maybe.

Dr. Bailey Moment of the Week.

This was hard, because there were so many great Bailey moments this week.

But in the end, I went for Bailey going temporarily insane and asking the Chief if he was having an affair with Izzie. Yes, you heard correctly. She does actually have some pretty good reasons for asking this question, but it is totally absurd, you have to admit. The Chief continues to laugh at her as she rants to him about how his wife believes that she is having an affair with him. Funny to watch.

Quote of the Week.

And in the theme of the Chief’s wife Adele thinking that Bailey is having an affair with their husband, some ‘help’ comes in Bailey’s defence in the form of Callie. Only digging a hole for herself, she says:

Yeah, but that’s just because they’re husband and work wife. The Chief’s your work husband and you’re his work wife! You look out for each other, you take care of each other, there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s like me and Sloane. (Glares are received from Adele and Miranda.) He’s my work husband, but he has a girlfriend – I have a girlfriend – but there’s nothing going on between us!

It’s better when you watch it. Sara Ramirez (who plays Callie) actually shows us some comedic talent here, and I like that.

Overall Episode Rating: 6.5 out of 10. This episode lacked the ‘WOW’ factor from the past few weeks, making it slightly more boring.
