Meredith is fixed! Although I can’t say I didn’t enjoy her usual self, all twisty inside with daddy issues. But, it’s nice to see her actually get over everything. I feel like it gives a sense of hope for us all doesn’t it? Grey’s Anatomy Insider has a great episode recap but of course, I have my own opinions.
Don’t forget that if you want the REAL story, read the Grey Matter: Writer’s Blog. There is a great post about last night’s episode from Creator Shonda Rhimes so check it out.
Alex Karev
This has been a tough year for Alex. Heck, it’s been a tough month for Alex. His girlfriend, who is married, claimed to be pregnant only to find out she was crazy instead. He was actually looking forward to the whole baby thing too. But I’m proud of Alex. He let her go. He can’t fix her and he can’t fix his mother, but he tried. Now he finally realized that he needs to let go and that he can’t save everyone. An important lesson.
Callie Torres
She finally admitted it to herself and Hahn. It’s pretty sad if Mark Sloan figures out something before you do. But I’m glad she finally has some sort of resolution in her life. George broke her heart and she is actually healing now. I’m proud of her too.
Christina Yang
Thank goodness. Christina is finally accomplishing things without Burke. I think she might have even surprised herself in the OR. She is a capable, smart person. And while she exudes confidence, I’m not sure how much she actually has. And teaching Lexi?! How grown-up is she? She finally realized that her and Hahn weren’t so different handling those they were meant to be teaching. I think she’s on the road to becoming an even better surgeon. Thank goodness.
Erica Hahn
Finally someone taught you how to teach. I hope you actually take his advice! Erica is complicated. She liked Callie and Callie was scared by that, so she pulled away. But now maybe Erica can be happy and finally adjusted to life at Seattle Grace. And give Christina a chance!
George O’Malley
Yes. George can retake the exam! Now, why didn’t he stand up for himself 6 months ago? He’s finally getting some happiness. I can’t believe he failed by 1 point. 1 point! I agree with him, that’s WAY worse than 50 points. So George may actually advance in life instead of being the Chief’s glorified administrative assistant.
Izzie Stevens
Izzie deserves to be in charge of the clinic. She takes so much crap from everyone. Finally she gets recognized for her hard work. And running a clinic that she provided the money for is exactly what she needed. Something she can control and focus all of her energy and emotions on. She actually seems to care for her friends more than anyone else. She cares about people more than anyone else. It’s so fitting that all of her recommendation letters were from patients. She cares and she makes sure everybody knows it.
