WTF is up with McDreamy? He's suddenly all pissed off that Meredith is dating his vet? Ok. What a jerk.

Derrick is being a bitch right now. He chose the wife he didn't have feelings for anymore over Meredith, who he had feelings for. For the longest time Meredith was still fixated on Derrick, and now that he sees she's starting to move on, he's all pissed about it. Tough shit, deal with it.

like when the younger doc and McDreamy's wife were talking about the baby, and he was saying, "You can get past a bad childhood, you've just got to survive" or something, and the conversation they were really having was about McDreamy's wife even though he didn't realize it. Classic.

I think they handled the feelings of Denny's death well because they could have easily just said it was 2 months later and everything was resolved, but they started it right after the "prom" at Seattle Grace. The season opener was just alot of resolution from the season 2 finale.

George and Callie will be sticking around for awhile, and I loved the conversation that George and Mcdreamy had and he said, "I told her (Meredith) I loved her" and he still has those feelings and we'll obviously see some point where he either decides to finally say it to Callie or not.

The whole Finn/Mcdreamy race for Meredith thing is probably going to played up until midseason. I don't know who I want her to end up with. I prefer Finn because Derek has just been a real jerk to Meredith at points. I especially just hated him when he called Meredith a whore and she told him that he didn't have the right to call her a whore when he was the one with a wife that he neglected to inform her about.

I have to say I did have three moments I really liked. Addison, at first I hated her, but now I feel like she's the one being dragged around because Derek just isn't there for her anymore and she keeps trying to hold on to it, but it's pretty much gone now. Her finding Mer's panties and posting them to the bulletin board was kind of mean, but I think it's been hard for Addison to have the hope that Derek and her might be back together, then not, then maybe, then not again, then definetly not and it's just reached her boiling point.

Secondly, Alex. Another character I hate, no matter how hot he seems at times. He's an arrogant little [insert any derogatory terms here]. But he's kind of been shown in a new light when he stayed with Izzie when Denny died and in the season opener he had a geniune care for the abandoned baby. Plus he said that line about how you can get past a bad childhood, which obviously was an allusion to his own. We'll see what his character shows.

Third, Bailey. I love Bailey anyway, she's sassy and funny and mean, but she has a good heart. You could really feel Bailey's frustration and sadness about the situation of the guy who was stuck in the room and she couldn't go in was just an addition to trying to figure out whether or not her interns did the right thing and how she felt about how Izzie did the whole thing in the beginning. She had some very emotional scenes and they were terrific.

As for the rest of the episode. The Chief is a bit of an idiot to not sit and talk with his wife for a little while and their marriage is possibly over now. The flashbacks to Mer's childhood and the mixer before the interns first day was kind of LOST-ish, but I think it was good to show what they were like before everything happened. I love how Burke pretty much ignored Christina and now they're an item.

I was sooo angry when McDreamy called Meredith a whore. He really did not have the right to do that and I couldn't believe he said it.

I feel the same way about Addison. I thought she was a total bitch, but McDreamy is not treating her right and he should just end his marriage with her or get over Meredith.

Holy crap. Two random proposals. I think that Christina is going to say yes, but I've a feeling that Callie might not accept. I'm eagerly awaiting the next episode.

Also, Izzy giving her money for the clinic was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too obvious.

Lastly, does anybody else think that the Chief is no longer going to be retiring?

Okay, the proposals. I think Callie is going to accept and Christina is going to say no. I dunno, I think if Christina is as smart as she's proven to be, she'll realize that they cannot get married right now because there have been too many hurt feelings and bad things between them lately. Of course, the same could be said for George and Callie, mostly because they've been back together for like a week or two. Personally, I think both should say no, but I think Callie is going to say yes.

Izzie giving the money was obvious, but what were they going to do with that. I mean, Bailey was running around the hospital....(which I'll talk about her storyline in a minute)...and she needed money in the end, what good would it be if she was going to have to go through weeks of saying, "I'm trying to get funding," when Izzie has the funds and funding it and making it a memorial to Denny is a great therapeutic thing for her.

Anyway, Bailey's story was fantastic and just showed how much the standings of the doctors have fallen. Mark, Derek, Addison, and Burke were so shallow that they were hunting down the chief and kicking him while he's down because it's hard for him to retire. And Bailey didn't even know and she was geniunely shocked and hurt that he was sending her running everywhere, but he made me happy because he said he did it because he wanted to prepare her to be chief, which led to my favorite scene. I was so glad she told the four doctors something like how she was hurt to see the people she admired have become so low and she was ashamed of them and made them sign the papers for the clinic.

Okay anyway, about the chief. I felt so sorry for him and wanted Adelle to die so much. It was just a final stab in his heart when he had to work up the courage to retire, listen to the people circling him like vultures, then having retired and think that he was going to have a happy rest of his life with his wife and having it all been for nothing. I think that he will come back, and that's not good for the four doctors who wanted to take over, because they really showed their true colors during the whole ordeal. Eventually I think he'll leave and then finally Bailey will get to be chief.

There is no way Bailey is going to be made chief now. Isn't she still a resident? I'm curious to see what is going to happen with her free clinic though.

I can't wait to see what the answers to the marriage proposals are.

I didn't say Bailey was going to be made chief now, but the Chief said it himself that he was preparing Bailey to be chief when her time came because he knows she's can do it. She is still a resident right now. I just think that the people that could have been chief... AKA Sheperd and Burke....maybe Addison, not Mark.... when they just hunted him down and tried to pester him to death about it, it showed they weren't ready to be Chief because as the episode began they had other cases and people were mentioning the Chief quitting....towards the end of the episode, they were fully obsessed with who was getting the job.

Christina finding out she was pregnant and Meredith finding out that Derreck was married were pretty solid plot twists.

Fire upon the Ferry-boat....maybe an explosion type thing....

Izzy dumping Alex right before they're supposed to scrub in for surgery on Denny.

Question: Tell me you can give me something on Grey’s Anatomy to hold me over until tomorrow. Please be my fresh air; don't you see I am drowning?— Christine
Ausiello: At least one of these things will happen before the end of the season:
• After breaking things off with Cristina, Burke will transfer to another hospital.
• Callie will reveal she's pregnant.
• Izzie and George will hook up.
• Izzie will be reunited with her daughter, and it's someone we've already seen on the show.
• Addison will be diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.
• Derek and Meredith's relationship will hit a roadblock when one of her exes shows up on her doorstep with one thing on his mind.

So is Shonda finally making Washington leave? I wonder what order 2 and 3 will happen in. Will George and Izzie hook up and then Callie will wonder if she's pregnant or will it happen before....and by who? I've been racking my brain trying to find someone who could have been Izzie's daughter. It's sad to think that Addison will have a life threatning illness, but it will probably be one of those drama-of-the-week killer diseases that they find out what to do at the very end. Ohhhhh finally, instead of someone Derek was married to, or related to or whatever, someone Meredith went out with is going to show up.

Meredith is alive, wow, that was suspenseful! Ok, her mother died. That was unexpected. Sandra Oh has solidified her spot as the best performer on the show. Bailey is awesome and Issey needs to be slapped. Oh wait, George did that verbally.

I enjoyed the episode overall.

I love Cristina, but Izzy and Meredith have been pissing me off so much. I'm glad that the pregnant woman is still around. It seems like she will be for a few episodes, so I hope her story is interesting. Bailey is awesome for keeping her head and being reasonable through the whole thing. I'm just annoyed that after not having her heart working on its own for like, an hour and a half, Meredith wakes up and can speak normally a few minutes later. Is that even close to being realistic?

If you can't tell by now that her and Alex are going to fuck each other raw then I don't know what to tell you.

-George and Izzy are retarded.
-Bailey should definitely be the new chief, not Cristina's ex.

No they're not. They were just drunk and horny. :tpg:

"Baby... I'm soooooo sorry... :(

BUT I WAS DRUNK! I STILL LOVE YOU! PLEASE BELIEVE ME~"
