Another kick azz Ride!!!

Turkey Day's Grey's was the best EVER!

Last week, we were left with a cliffhanger of dramatic proportions:

• Was it Christina who told the Chief of the bad hand or George?
  
• Callie was on some major PUMP IT UP with the crazy attack Meredith scene!
  
• George set Izzy straight with a smart assed remark about Denny (ouch)
  
• Karev and Addison: Were they making puppy eyes at each other?
  
• Is Addison PREGO? I mean, come on...they are foreshadowing SOMETHING with all this BABY talk...and when Addison tells the pregnant girl "Everyone has a father" Mark so eloquently interrupts with the whole "Not if you don't tell him." My gears are working...

So the cat is out of the bag. Hand is out of the Glove. OJ is so guilty! Christina and Burke's charade has come to an end.Christina was in Chief's office. Does that mean she ratted out? If she did, was she jealous? Or did George rat out and she just made it to the office before Burke? Either way, it doesn't look good for either of them...

So imagine my suprise (and the Nazi's as well) when Christina and Burke aren't punished for their wrongdoings and are sent back to work. Burke on desk duty, of course. Well played out, although highly unlikey in the real world.

But this isn't the real world. It's Grey's Anatomy. And it's KICK AZZ. And I L♥VE it!

Tonight's episode: Wanting to belong and be accepted. Family. Not wanting to be ALONE.

Izzy, Karev, and George are all pissy because Christina (who supposedly got away with duping everyone and keeping her mouth shut on Burke's bad hand) got the case of handling George's father's surgery (who, btw, turned out just fine in the end). What the 3 weren't prepared for was the hilarious adult conjoined twins who wanted to be separated. (They were attached at the side/back.) One of the brother's wanted the separation, the other didn't, they were both in love with the same girl, the girl loved the brother that she wasn't dating. Apparently, the conjoined brothers had relationship rules...hint hint and the brother that wasn't dating the girl crossed the line with a touch...and she liked it...apparently the one she was dating was a bit of an ass...whatever...it was cheap laughs.
Izzy is bearable these days. L♥VE L♥VE L♥VE the scene when McSteamy tries to use her as a gopher and she puts him in his place with the phrase "You can kick me back to Bailey if you want, but I don't do coffee runs." I hope she gives him a run for his money and becomes one of few who don't fall prey to his steamy stare and his boyishly good looks and that...**swooning** Honestly I am not a fan of McSteamy. He is UBER HOT. But he's also UBER ARROGANT and that is a HUGE turn-off for me. I hate arrogance.
George was yelled at by his father, who is under the assumption that George is angry at him. Maybe he is. His father is so right: there is a LONG line of people he's angry at: Callie for cheating, Burke and Christina for lying, brothers for being brothers, Dr. Hahn for kicking him out of his father's room, Chief for letting Burke and Christina off, etc...the list goes on and on and on. He is getting on my nerves lately. He's like a loose cannon. Screaming. I understand he's worried about his father but my goodness! Although I thoroughly enjoyed the "Georgie does NOT work in THIS HOSPITAL! My name is Dr...."whatever his last name is. So he's banned. Like he listens. He's still major pissed at Callie For all you Rachel/Ross fans: They were on a BREAK!

The Nazi is back. It's nice to know Nazi can come back when she needs to be back. Episodes like the previous, with Bailey crooning to her baby on the phone, give her life, give me the feeling that here is a woman like any other...needing to be harsh with her interns, but a regular woman who really just wants to go home to her family at the end of the shift. She learned a lot tonight from Chief. She learned that not all her "babies" (interns) will turn out allright. We found out that she holds anger and shame for herself and that she feels that she is somewhat the connecting center of all the mishaps going on around her with the other attendings and interns. Burke, Christina, Izzy, George. Chief merely pointed out Burke wasn't her responsibility and the others were grown now, especially Christina. He also pointed out She was the most like Nazi.

I can see that.

Chief blew up at Burke. Because of Burke's secret, Chief can't retire and may lose his wife now. After giving up his true love, now he can't even pursue the life he was trying to salvage. He had every right. He had been lied to and duped and Burke let him down. I was happy to see him lose it with Burke. So, Chief is pissed at Burke, and Burke is pissed at Derek because he blames Derek for his hand. So Chief is pissed at Burke for that too. Eventually, Burke comes to his senses and decides to let Derek work on his hand again. Smart move.

I can't decide whether Addison should get with Karev or Mark (McSteamy). Addison's been quite the emotional basketcase these past few episodes...for a moment there I thought she was Meredith! Would love to see where this is going and what kind of developments are going to happen here. She delivered Meredith's father's daughter's baby who needed immediate surgery and was born not breathing. She made Meredith the go-between with her step mother on the babies recover, opening up a whole other door to the Meredith story.

Which leads me into my stint on Meredith which I saved for last:

How AWFUL it must have been to hear her mother (even as senile as she is) announce she should have never had Meredith. That Richard (Chief) left her because she had a daughter. The hurtful things that the opening scene showed, gave some more insight into the dramatics and surroundings of what makes Meredith who she is: someone looking for love, someone longing for acceptance.

To have your own mother renounce you to your face...and she doesn't even realize it's YOU. Then Meredith gets to the hospital to be confronted by Addison that she's on her case because the pregnant girl is her half sister and she needed her as a buffer. The sister doesn't know she's her sister, but the step-mother (played by Mare Winningham...NICELY DONE) does, and Meredith's own father didn't want the 2nd daughter to know. That's WONDERFUL. I'm ready for this guy to enter the picture now.

So Mere's the buffer and her step-mother is over-accomodating, wanting to be her family. Meredith tells her "You seem nice. But I don't know you. And you aren't my family." Then the closing scene (flashing back and forth between the conjoined brothers wanting to be in the same room and then hold hands with each other and Meredith with her mother)is her talking to her mother in the home, and her mother upset because she still thinks Meredith is a little girl and doesn't realize she lost Richard years and years ago.

But instead of hardening her heart to her mother, Meredith embraces her, and rounds out as narrator about the needs of personal space. Sometimes, personal space needs to be violated.

WOW.

Is it next Thursday yet?
