Yes! Yes! Yes! Grey’s was FINALLY back tonight. Up until this episode, Grey’s hasn’t really felt much like Grey’s but tonight rocked. They finally found a good balance between existing storylines, the interns and the medicine. I LOVED it.
The whole cafeteria beat-down thing was hilarious. Well, until of course Izzie realized there wasn’t going to be such a thing and then it was sort of like watching a really embarrassing moment.
The old intern Norm was funny tonight. I loved the use of "seriously" and replacement of words like untoward for uncool. Hopefully that will be just this episode because too much of that will get old fast but I thought it was cute.
The storyline with the chief’s niece was heartbreaking. She was so young. And especially with my grandmother going through cancer and thinking a lot recently about how much it has shown in my family. Well, it was tough to listen to her give up.
Derek’s confession at the elevators was super sweet. He wants a lifetime. Awww. Hard-headed Meredith still can’t commit and it’s driving me crazy they’re still stretching THAT out.
But my favorite of all tonight was Alex. Alex grew on me last season in a big way and tonight was another one of those moments. You realize he’s mad at Izzie because he wanted to be the first after Denny. And then when we walked in her room at the end. Whoa! That’s so swee-et. I always wanted her and Alex together since Denny especially when he held her in that chair right after Denny died. Aw, I hope they get together.
Definitely my favorite episode of this season and I hope that it just goes up from here.
