Physical Attraction…
Per abc.com
George and Izzie finally have sex — and it’s horrible! Izzie despairs that they don’t have chemistry anymore and tries everything, including booze, to get it back. (I can’t believe they don’t have chemistry. Is this the end of George and Izzie? I’m really not sure if I like these two together. I just feel like Izzie needs someone more like Deny. They really had chemistry on scene. I did love these two on screen though, they were too funny. I love how Izzie tries to be sexy and brings out the bottle of booze. Lets see if these two can get it together. )
Mark jokes that Derek is the Chief’s girlfriend when he finds out he’s running errands like dry cleaning for him and spending his evenings having dinner and a movie with the Chief. Mark takes offense when Derek tells him he has no chance with Erica since Mark “has no substance.” (This scene is funny. I’m glad these two are getting along now, they act great together. )
Callie pleads with Miranda to take over her scheduling duties because she just wants to do surgeries, which make her happy. Miranda agrees and her advice includes counseling Cristina to find a new specialty when Erica kicks her off the cardio rotation. Cristina scrubs in on a bone surgery with Callie but misses the finesse of heart surgery. (Miranda takes over for Callie and it just proves once again that she should have been chosen as Chief. But I guess if she had been chosen first none of this would be happening. She makes Cristina do more then just heart surgery to see if she would like another field. But it is obvious that Cristinas heart is into heart surgery. It’s what she loves and I hope she fights back to get what she wants. )
A distraught mother comes in: she dropped her baby in a fall down the stairs and doesn’t know if it’s breathing. The baby is fine but the mother collapses with broken ribs and a collapsed lung. The father arrives and is too busy focusing on his wife to bother with the baby, whom they had just adopted and hadn’t even given a name to yet. He tells Lexie if his wife doesn’t make it, he’s going to give the baby back since he can’t raise her on his own. (This is very heart wrenching. How can you give away your baby just because your wife might die, even though she adopted she is still your baby. Lexie makes him realize later that this baby needs him as much as he needs the baby.)
Lexie is upset because she’d been making progress in her relationship with Meredith and after finding out about her tryst with Alex, Meredith won’t speak to her anymore. Alex says he’s up for sex anytime but suggests they not meet at her house, to avoid Meredith. Alex and Meredith are stuck outside their house while Izzie and George try to jump start their chemistry, and just then Lexie shows up to ask Alex out for a drink. Meredith chews her out, telling Lexie to get her own friends and her own life. Lexie says she’ll wait for Alex at the bar. Alex asks Meredith why any of this matters to her, since she supposedly doesn’t care about Lexie at all. (Meredith was mean to Lexie, but this time Lexie doesn’t take her crap and tells her off. Alex also tells Meredith that she is wrong in what she is doing.)
While Erica operates on the woman with the collapsed lung, Lexie asks Meredith if the patient is going to make it, since the fate of the baby rests on the outcome and Meredith points out she’s busy. Lexie sits with the husband while they wait for news about his wife. Meredith updates the husband on his wife’s progress and then adds, obviously because of Lexie’s intervention, that while his wife bonded instantly with the baby, maybe the husband needs a little more time for them to feel like a family. The man admits that he knows five things about the baby, a lot more than he thought he did. (Meredith’s speech gives Lexie hope that maybe she was talking about there relationship and it will just take Meredith time to accept her as her sister.)
Unfortunately, Erica is unable to save the wife’s badly damaged lung and she dies. The husband comes to see the baby and says he’s remembered a sixth thing and he’s going to name her Keshia, because that’s the name her mother had chosen. (Lexie’s speech worked as the husband comes back to be with his baby.)
Richard gets suspicious that Miranda’s really been the one behind all the recent scheduling and advice and she demurs, telling him to ask Callie about it. He catches up with Callie, who says she’s busy with surgery, but that she’ll “get on” the schedule tomorrow. He tells her there’s no need. Richard informs Miranda that he knows she’s been doing the job of Chief Resident but getting none of the credit. He tells her she deserves the credit and the job and that he should have given her the job in the first place because she’s the one who makes the hospital work. “It’s about time you noticed,” says says and breaks into tears before hugging him. (Miranda tries to play things off by telling the Chief that if it was her she would do things this way and that is probably why Callie did that, but you would have to ask her. The Chief doesn’t buy it as he goes to tell Callie that she if fired!)
Lexie asks Alex to meet her later in the on-call room and he turns her down, saying he doesn’t want to get between her and Meredith. Lexie goes to see Meredith and tells her five things about herself, saying she hopes that makes it harder for Meredith to hate her. (Lexie tells Alex that he is taking Meredith over her and leaves…She also leaves Meredith in silence as she tells her the 5 things about herself. Will these two ever get along?)
At Joe’s, Mark offers to buy Erica a drink, telling her how much he admires her technique as a surgeon, and she tells him he’s only attracted to her skill, but not to her. And that she’s not attracted to him. (I really don’t like Erica’s role in this, but I do like how she tells Mark why he is attracted to her. She puts him in his place and Mark is left speechless).
Alex tells Meredith he’s broken things off with Lexie, who’s passed out in her seat at Joe’s and Meredith asks Alex to take her sister home. When they get there, Lexie’s dad comes out. He’s drunk and about to drive to the store for more liquor. Alex offers to run the errand for him and Lexie begs him not to tell Meredith. (You know this is bound to come out, and this just might bring these two closer together.)
George and Izzie bask in the glow of good sex — until they realize the other one is lying and it’s still as bad as ever. (I could predict that these two aren’t going to work out, but they love each other, so how will they make this work? Why was it so great the first time? “Too many booze” that first night? Perhaps.)
