Well, Izzie finally made it back to the hospital, but things didn’t go as well for her as she hoped. That M&M was brutal, and not just for her. Dr. Bailey got hit with both barrells too. Who knew that The Dawson could be that mean?
I liked how the episode was bookended with two different women telling Sloan to shut up in bed.
Derek is finally pissed about Addison and Sloan, and so distracted that he didn’t realize what Meredith was telling him. I tell ya, have you ever seen to more self-absorbed people than those two? I haven’t.
And what would you do with 8.7 million dollars? How about paying off Denny’s medical bills, for one. It’s got to be an expensive heart transplant that lets you to be awake and lucid after only two hours.
Ugh, Izzy was so grating in this episode. “Did you hear I got 8 million dollars? Because I’ve got 8 million dollars. My dead fiance left me 8 million dollars. I don’t know what I’m going to do with this 8 million dollars. By the way, did you know I’ve got 8 million dollars? Not sure if I mentioned that or not.” :rolleyes:
Like I said last season, if I was Dr. Webber, after his individual interviews with the interns, I wouldn’t let any of them back into the hospital, let alone treat patients.
I did like how Alex apologized to Dr. Bailey about knowing what was going on but not doing anything to stop it. Do you think she would have throttled Alex if she wasn’t holding that baby?
Callie’s confession to Meredith scene: Meredith once again proved how it’s all about her (yeah, I know, Grey’s Anatomy, but she could still have a little empathy and maybe, I don’t know, actually LISTEN to what people say to her.) Luckily, next week, according to the previews, Cristina says to Meredith what I’ve been yelling at the television for two years: “Geez, Meredith, it’s not always all about you!” I can’t wait.
Well, first of all, not leave the damn thing sitting on the fridge. Other than that, I think she should put it in the bank for awhile. She really needs to cope with Denny’s death, and I don’t think she’s done doing that yet. The money complicates the issue, and she’s using as a screen to hide behind. It’s like she’s saying, “I have to be okay. Having 8 million dollars should make me be okay” when she’s really not okay. Putting it in the bank would give her some time to think.
And Burke was completely dead on with his little “I’m not fine and you’re not fine” speech. It really woke her up to the ramifications of her actions.
She could start a scholarship fund for girls from her trailer park with the money, or maybe fund a clinic of sorts in that town.
And what was the threat about calling her mother? I don’t remember her saying anything to the gang about her mom being a pill. From the way she reacted to George’s “I’m dailing now”, you would think Mrs. Stevens is up there with Cristina’s and Burke’s moms.
That whole thing with the check drove me nuts. Okay, you don’t want to spend it now, fine, but put it in the bank! Don’t treat it like a Garfield comic you cut out of the paper.
You know, I’m starting to think that Bailey and Burke are the only really interesting characters in this show, everyone else is so shallow and stupid. Can we just make it the Bailey and Burke Show?
Did anyone else catch the Seinfeld reference when they were separating that woman and her ex-husband? That “counter-clockwise swirl” line HAD to be from “The Move!”
I thought that was he, but it’s not listed in IMDB??
Next week’s preview shows Derek with some chick in his trailer, and him putting his pants on as Mer looks in. Why do I think it will be some Three’s Company gag where he really was just changing his pants?
I wasn’t at all irritated about Izzie’s constant references to the cheque. I mean, other characters may have seen it as irritating, but anyone close to the situation would realise what she was really saying.
Like monica said, she’s not bragging about her cash. She’s trying to justify her okay-ness with the fact that she now has money. No one can think she is not okay if they know she has… wait for it… eight million dollars.
I have a hard time believing that everyone would be sooo accomodating of Izzy. Yes, she was in love but that doesn’t excuse anything she did. She crossed ethical and legal boundaries, including flat-lining her fiancee, in order to put him ahead on the transplant list. If she didn’t quit, she should have been fired. Instead, everyone’s coddling her, including the people who should be angriest at her.
And putting an $8.7m check on the fridge is so unrealistic, it boggles the mind.
I thought giving Addison a rich background made sense. Her first name is very waspy and old money.
Much of the rest of episode I only caught here and there because we have only one television in the house. I gernerously let husband watch the Mets lose. I’ll have to catch the recap on TWOP.
Are people really thinking its going to disappear? I assume it’s actually made out to Izzy and not to “cash”. Even so, it would be pretty easy to trace.
Lost, wet, torn, smudged, accidentally swept off, fallen under the refrigerator.
And yes, stolen. (Even if the thief realizes “I can’t cash it” and throws it out & that doesn’t do the thief any good, but it doesn’t do Izzie any good either.)
No, I don’t think it’s going to disappear. I think that no human being, even a woman in the throes of grief, would NOT DEPOSIT an $8.7m check. Completely unrealistic.
The existence of an $8.7 million ckeck is unrealistic. Do the writers expect us to believe that multimillionaires keep all their assets in a checking account? I’m sure even Jed Clampett at least put his money in a savings account at Mr Drysdale’s bank.
