Perfect Little Accident. Yep, that’s exactly what Webber’s surgery is. I won’t ruin it for you, but it does involve *GASP!* Harper-Avery.

It also involved Arizona and Teddy becoming best buds all of a sudden.

Cute.

Surgery of the Week.

Okay, I can’t hold it in any longer. Let’s discuss Webber and his Harper-Avery surgery.

That’s right, despite Richard requesting as little pressure as possible on his first day back, he ends up doing the surgery that could earn him the Harper-Avery award. What’s worse: Avery wants to be awake during the surgery.

Surprisingly, this fact saves the day: after Avery insists that Webber use special sutures on his wound, he has an allergic reaction. Of course, during the surgery, Webber had no idea that he was allergic to the stitches, and there is great panic when he thinks he’s messed up his first day. Hence the ‘perfect little accident’. If it were not for Avery’s allergy, Webber would have hit the ultimate rock bottom.

Romantic Moment of the Week.

Pretty much the steamiest couple right now on Grey’s?

Come on, look at them! Making out just before a trauma case is going to hit.

Obviously their smooching is cut short because of imminent death, but it’s sexy while it lasts.

Bailey Moment of the Week.

There is no contest for the best Bailey moment this week.

The picture says it all.

This week, Callie & Arizona took it upon themselves to organize a ‘girl’s night’. Okay, I’m guessing it was pretty much Arizona who organized it. Anyway, they ended up going to play baseball and Bailey took a swing. And she hit it. Much to the surprise of all the other girls, but nevertheless, it was a golden Bailey moment.

Quote of the Week.

Quotes. Quotes. Quotes. Nothing’s jumping out at me, so it looks like I’m going to have to think about this one a lot.

Ah, perfect.

“Oh no. Because you slept with my girlfriend and when I look at you, I want to hit you with a brick.”

Yep, that’s Arizona’s response to Karev’s request to get in on a surgery. And rightly so! It is hilarious anyway.

Especially ’cause she says it with that sugary-sweet, dimpled smile of hers. YUM.

Overall Episode Rating: 7 out of 10. Lacked the drama of Grey’s this week, but it was still pretty cute.

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!

Phew! After all that holiday chaos, Grey’s is finally back! Thank God. I missed it like a child misses it’s Mother. Seriously.

And look who’s back! For one episode, anyway.

That’s right: the feisty Addison Montgomery, played by flame-haired lovely Kate Walsh. She’s actually in Seattle to take a look at Sloane’s daughter’s unborn baby, who seems to have some sort of lump. But you’ll have to watch Private Practice to find out what happens there!

Let’s crack on with it, shall we?

Surgery of the Week.

This week, Yang gets another surgery all to herself, thanks to her beloved bestie, (or not) Dr. Altman.

God knows what the surgery was in aid of, but Yang stumbles whilst elbow deep in a chest cavity. Altman watches from behind, but doesn’t seem to do anything about it.

Of course, Yang’s slice of red-headed yumminess bursts through the door, trying to persuade Altman to do something to help. However, the two begin to argue and Yang screams for Owen to ‘GET OUT OF HER O.R.!’ Calm down, please!

We later find out that Yang received no help from Teddy at all. Go Yang!

Romantic Moment of the Week.

I’m not sure this is so much ‘romantic moment of the week’, but more ’smokin’ HOT moment of the week.’ But I obviously chose Callie & Arizona’s shower scene.

Yeah, it was pretty much a ‘blink-and-you’ll-miss-it’ moment, but it was also the moment every red-blooded male, lesbian and bisexual was waiting for.

Turns out, they were pretty p*ssed off after Lexie walked in on them, but for a split second, it was damn fine.

Bailey Moment of the Week.

This week, we see Bailey being constantly hassled by Shepherd to start dating again.

When Derek convinces a colleague to ask her out on a date however, she turns him down.

This quote defines the Bailey Moment of the Week: “”It’s devastating, but not completely, because it turns out I like sleeping crosswise in the bed and not having to shave my legs.” MADE OF WIN.

Quote of the Week.

You may have noticed that Yang is forever sucking up to Altman for surgeries. Well this week was no different.

This time, Cristina explains that she’d do literally anything for more surgeries.

And then the fabulous Shonda Rhimes (the lady behind the storyline at Grey’s) leaves us with this cliff-hanger:

Cristina: Wait, wait, wait, wait. No one has ever believed in me like this. You believe in me more than I do. And I need that. I’m going to die here without that.
Teddy: Cristina —
Cristina: You know, just tell me what you want! I’ll make it happen.
Teddy: I want Owen!
Cristina: Fine! Done! Take him!

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN!

Overall Episode Rating: 7 out of 10. Not the most explosive start to the second half of the season, but it’ll do for now. Kudos to Kate Walsh, obviously.

Firstly, I apologize for not re-capping this episode sooner. But there’s a new episode this week, so I thought I better do it soon!

It’s the holidays this week on Grey’s – we see right through from Thanksgiving up until New Year. A lot of time in 40 minutes, but they manage!

Surgery of the Week.

This episode was packed with great surgical moments. But in the end, I decided to go with Derek and his brain surgery.

Because the front of the brain was not accessible first time round, Derek, along with Slone, Robbins and a bunch of other surgeons invent a new device that enters the brain from the nasal cavity.

Why does this win surgery of the week? Because they defeated all odds, creating a device that had never actually been tested before and being successful in the end. Would this happen in real life? Probably not.

Romantic Moment of the Week.

Romantic moment this week goes to Yang and Hunt, who practically chew each other’s faces off outside A&E.

In this scene, Hunt explains to Cristina that he loves her because he loves her, not because he owes her anything. This is a moment we’ve all been waiting for, because to be honest, I didn’t really know if Hunt genuinely loved her before this. Aww.

Bailey Moment of the Week.

Once again, Bailey kicks total ass this week.

This week we see Bailey’s Father, after he finds out that she had a divorce months ago and did not tell him. He worries about the welfare of his grandson and his upbringing, but Bailey lashes out at the table, on Christmas days nonetheless, and shows the whole of the Seattle Grace staff (minus Callie, who is working) why they should be afraid of her.

Quote of the Week.

It’s not so much quote of the week, but the best speech this week is definitely the amazing acapella performance in the background by Sara Ramirez (who plays Dr. Torres) who cannot actually be seen when her pipes are giving it their all.

In true Christmas spirit, she sings ‘Silent Night’, which I’m sure you all know the words to, but I’m going to give you the opening lines anyway, just to keep to usual house rules.

Silent night, holy night,

All is calm, all is bright.

That is all.

Overall Episode Rating: 7 out of 10. Not the best, but I really liked the structure and the amount of surgery this week.

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.

Well this week’s Grey’s was the most dramatic in a while! A simple prognosis was botched, leaving the Chief and co. to decipher whose fault the mess-up really was.

Anyone who watches Grey’s will know that when they do drama, they do it good. The acting was great this week as tensions rose: fights broke out and even the nicest of people (Dr. Robbins) ended up taking it out on an intern. (The intern deserved it, by the way.)

Again, the episode was not great for my topics (should I change them?!) but I’ll do the best I can.

Surgery of the Week.

There was little visible surgery again this week, so it is no surprise that Bailey was the one to win this category this week.

Excuse the disgusting picture above, but Bailey’s surgery this week involved removing an axe from the chest of a patient. Gross.

Obviously there was no time to get this guy to an O.R. before he bled out, so Bailey performed the surgery right there in the trauma room. You think that’s heroic enough? Then get down and bow before Miranda, ’cause the patient actually lived!

Romantic Moment of the Week.

Romance, romance, where for art thou romance? I’d say there was even less romance this week than there was last week! So what can I scrape together?

Does Karev not being able to concentrate for thinking about Izzie count as romance? Well everytime we saw him this week, he was on the phone trying to get her back, so I guess that counts for something.

Note to Grey’s writers: include at least a little bit of romance next week please, instead of providing us with this desperate idiot.

Dr. Bailey Moment of the Week.

In regards to surgery of the week: Bailey made a serious procedure actually quite, well… humourous!

When one of the Mercy West surgeons faints holding the axe in Bailey’s patient’s chest, Bailey’s first reaction was to shout ‘WHAT DID I SAY?!’ This doesn’t sound funny when you read it, but with Bailey’s accent and brassiness, it was hard not to laugh. She then proceeds to call the same surgeon ’stupid’ repeatedly in her interrogation. I love her.

Quote of the Week.

The quote this week was a long one! In fact, it was more like a monologue.

“We have to make him feel worse before we can make him feel better. So if you’re having feelings, you’re gonna have to shut them down. You need to shut them down and talk to him about his future and remind him that he has one, past all of this pain. And if you can’t do that – if you can’t do your job – then you find someone who can and you send them to me.”

This was said by Arizona to Lexie, after Lexie started crying when the paediatric surgeon gave her orders to comfort the patient. This was my quote of the week, because Robbins seems to be slowly turning into Bailey! It was said with such similarity and a kick-ass tone that I thought only Chandra Wilson was capable of. Jessica Capshaw is surely turning into my favourite actress on the show.

Overall episode rating: 8 out of 10 – the marks all given for the dramatic, cliffhanger quality to this episode. The other 2 points were deducted for not enough Callie and Arizona togetherness.
