Grey's Anatomy: Sometimes a Fantasy

Okay, I've caught up on Grey's and I'm really not happy with the direction of the show right now. The show resembles a cheesy soap opera now rather than a quirky ensemble medical drama. Now it's all about sleeping with one another or the ramifications of doing so. The latest plot development of McDreamy and Finn competing for Meredith sounds like every other Saved By the Bell episode. I'm not looking forward to the next few weeks of cockblocks and Princess Mer running around dangling her bounty in front of these two toolboxes. Just thought I'd warn you.

We start with the thematic voice over from Mer about fantasies and her particular fantasy is a menage with Finn and McDreamy. Hmm...kinda slutty, kinda racy, kinda makes me wonder if Mer really is the type of girl who likes two orifices filled at once...anyway she's woken up by George yelling about something. She tries to force herself back to sleep and continue the dream, heh I thought I was the only one who did that, but it doesn't work. Her hands stay above the covers and then she decides to investigate.

George is freaking out since Dr. Husky has been living with him for over a week and he's begging Mer to kick her out. Poor George, looks like they neutered you again. I was starting to like ballsy George, too. Anyway Dr. Husky comes out of the shower and she's taken all of the hot water. It seems like Izzie's up now and ready to try to get back in the program. George whines to Callie that she's got his towel so she gives it to him right in front of he and Mer. Mer had a great facial here no joke. I kept checking her eyes to see if she was checking out wet, naked, Dr. Husky, but she didn't.

Cut to McSteamy and Addie. He's wanting to hang out for a bit. Since Addie isn;t used to manly men who give her attention, she's trying to shoo him away and get him back to New York. Addie thanks him "for all the sex" and offers to call him a cab to the airport. McSteamy's like "Naw" and grabs her back into bed.

Burke's hand hasn;t recovered and he's acting out. Yang, still getting used to this empathizing thing is all lost.

Izzie gets to the front of the hospital and freezes. She wants to take a minute to practice her speech before she goes in. Meanwhile, Bailey is pleading her case to the Chief. She sells it like only Bailey can. The Chief agrees to hear Izzie out if she comes in. Bailey's so awesome and one of the few things remaining that I like about the show.

Enter Yang and Mer, Yang is bitching that all Burke was doing about his rehab was playing with himself on the couch "and not in a good way” Wait, there's a good way? I wish someone would have explained that to the woman I used to live with. So let me get this straight Yang would have been happy if instead of throwing a tennis ball against the wall, he was sitting on the couch diddling with his pee-pee? She wouldn't have chucked the remote control at his head?

Mer runs into McDreamy, she immediately goes into telling him she dreamt about him last night. McDreamy sets a dinner date. Exit McDreamy, enter Finn. Seriously dude, you don't even work there! Mer tells Finn she dreamt about him, Mer has to turn down dinner, but Finn says he can come to the hospital for lunch and eat shitty hospital food. Man he sucks. They both suck. Batman must be crying in his cowl right now. Anyway, Yang get confirmation about the threesome dream and says "Just when I think you're boring, you rise". Rise to what? Less boring and more annoying? I feel like Rick James stomping away at a couch. Still no credits...

Alex runs into Izzie who still hasn't budged. Man, first hugs the floor all episode long, two weeks ago and now she's going to stand in one spot? Did she have to film Under Siege 6 or something?

Assignment time. Yang gets McDreamy for this week's Brain Surgery, Mer gets nothing of consequence, Alex gets Addie McGynie and George is requested by Dr. Husky in ortho for a smothering procedure. Addie has to take a call from McSteamy so she sends Alex to the pit.

His patient is the girl from "Little Miss Sunshine" who’s got massive cuts on her legs and arms. Aww, poor girl, she looked much better when I last saw her dancing on the stage to "Superfreak" and boy was I pissed when I couldn't go back to sleep to continue that one. KIDDING!!! Her injuries are so bad that Alex suspects child abuse. She shows her arm and it's held together with staples. She begs Alex not to turn her in. She tries to tell him she doesn't feel any pain. To demonstrate she pulls the staples out of her arm, pulls Alex close and explains that she has superpowers. Hey, it's just like that crappy show that’s everyone's talking about on NBC...Deal or No Deal, right? Finally, we get the F'N credits.

We come back to see the Brain surgery candidate of the week. He's a new father who suffers five seizures a day. He wants to get his brain cut in half so he has the chance to help raise his son. His wife doesn't think the surgery is a good idea. Yang is on the case so of course she's going to learn a lesson of some kind. If she can get past her Yang-centric mindset, that is.

Karev and Bailey are still trying to diagnose Little Miss Sunshine and Bailey orders a cold pressure test to measure her pain.

George and Dr. Husky of the Smothering Tribe have a discussion about George acting all weird. Hey just because he's a puss puss doesn’t mean he's all that weird. They'll be giving a triathamalete an ankle transplant. Our patient treats surgeries like tune-ups having had four in the last year.

Little Miss Sunshine explains that she really is a superhero. She explains that she helps protect the weaker kids and all that stuff, you know, like a certain vet wonder on this show used too. That is, until he got kicked out of the Batcave for being a wuss. Alex challenges her to the cold test. They both stick their hands in the ice water and LMS won't shut up about her superpowers. Seriously, if she doesn't shut up I'm going to punch her in the stomach.

Addie meets McSteamy at Joe's and says his flight was cancelled...on account of he doesn’t want to stop having sex with Addison quite yet. Does he get a stipend from the airline for that? He talks her into staying for coffee. Having someone who actually desires her doesn't wear well with Addie. Having your house shit on will do that to a girl.

LMS is still yapping while kicking Alex's ass in the cold pressure test. Karev is dumbfounded, but LMS explains that to prove her powers to the other kids she lets them punch her in the stomach. The reason she's in there is that they did...25 times...and once with a baseball bat.

Back to the brain patient... He's holding his son while Yang explains to his wife how shitty life is going to for HER, having to help him recover and all. Yang keeps rattling on about how little things like being unselfish are getting to her and she keeps rattling on. The wife gets so caught up in this that neither she not the f'n DOCTOR in the room five feet away notices that he is having a seizure. They catch it just time before any harm is done. Wife is sufficiently spooked now. Way to go Yang.

Izzie? She's still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't believe I just went there. I hate this show.

Back to Addie and Mark in the bar. She tries to rationalize her transcontinental booty call. She slaps hip for trying to kiss her, but it looks like it just flipped the "I'm going to do you...again" switch. Addie goes back to work, leaving McSteamy with his smirk and his cheese in the wind.

Callie and George talk about their patient...sorry I'm just so distracted by the fact that Dr. Husky is such a hoss compared to George. Seriously, her shoulders are broader than his!!! I never noticed this before until they were side by side. She's like his personal lineman! I'm not knocking her, she’s a normal woman. It's more like George must be this teeny tiny guy, with a bowling ball for a head. He's like a male version of a lollipop girl.

Lunchtime! It's time for Vet Wonder and Mer's date.


George comes up to Yang and Karev's table and they've got a pile of paper on the table. They've got a wager on whether or not McDreamy is going to let the date be or if he shows up for the cockblock. They have some pretty cool play-by play. While waiting Alex asks George if he likes comic books and he says no but mouths yes. George gives some longwinded geeky explanation of why punching bag might think she's a superhero. He explains it as if a comic book origin would apply here. I've read comics since I was five. Since his answer didn't include the term "batshit crazy” I would never have given an answer like that one. Hate.

Anyway, Mc Dreamy walks by the table and starts to walk away. Alex starts to collect, thinking McDreamy would be a secure, confident dude in this situation. "He takes it like a man, and walks away" says Alex. Not so fast dude. McDreamy doubles back and offers Mer a chance to scrub in on the brain surgery. Immediately! Mer can't refuse and Robin takes it...IN THE FACE!!! Really, Batman is monitoring this on the Bat computer and throwing O'Donnell's stuff out of Stately Wayne Manor as we speak. Finn looks like the doormat bitch here. I don't expect a fist fight, but Finn should have at least gone to the parking lot and slashed McDreamy's tires.

While McDreamy is gloating, Mer defends Finn's ability to take the heat. I hate this storyline. Meanwhile LMS asks Alex to punch her in the stomach again. Bailey mentions LMS's condition to Addie and Addie calls it immediately. She can't feel pain. They find something ominous.

McDreamy performs his brain surgery with Mer and Yang in tow. Somehow they find it appropriate to talk about Burke. McDreamy brings up leave of absence and Cristina almost loses it.

George tries to talk to Izzy...still standing outside. She goes off on the idea of brides and bridesmaids. She's still got a little of the Crazy. At least its sorta justified. George goes back in to talk the Ankle replacement patient and he offers to take him to the cadaver.

Alex and Bailey explain to LMS's parents that she is going to need surgery since she has internal bleeding...then LMS disappears. It would have been cool if she teleported to Japan. Okay so I admit that I saw the last five minutes of “Heroes” last week This epsiode has been like a cross between that show and “The Bachelorette”

Yang confronts Burke after he's submitted his leave of absence. Burke is trying to explain to her that it could take years before he's fully recovered. He's feeling a little sorry for himself. If Cristina weren't thinking about how much this is putter her out, that would have been the perfect time for an Adrian Balboa "Time to inspire, Rocky" speech. Instead she just lets him walk away.

George has Ankle Guy in the um...dead body place. Ankle guy is shocked that such an old looking guy is going to be the donor. We cut to Dr. Husky who finds out that her ankle surgery is cancelled. Uh-oh Husky angry Husky SMASH!!! George luckily gets called away to look for LMS.

We see Mer and McDreamy squabbling about the surgery, Addison sees them too and she's a bit shaken and exits before she runs into them. I know how you feel Addie.

While looking for LMS, George starts spouting off more geek speak about heroes. He invokes Green Lantern who even if you take away his ring is still a hero. He also brings up Batman and how he had to put up with Robin barging in and saying "I'm going to live here, too! Give me some tights I'm taking your towel!" Um I think this is Grey's trying to be Meta. Combined with George's pussitude it really doesn't work here. Husky smash! She comes down the hall to confront George. George blurts out in the middle of a professional discussion that he isn't ready to live with her yet. Apparently Husky had asked him if it was okay four times (all off camera I think) and he never said anything then. She gets all pissy and says she's Outtie. Puny George Husky strongest. George. Run. Now.


Mer is searching for LMS and opens up the Supply Closet. She finds a crying Addie instead. SUPPLIES!!! Addie says for her to pick a floor and stay on it, she needs time without her. Mer graciously agrees. What a considerate mistress.

Alex finally finds LMS who explains why she's freaking about the surgery. She thinks her foster parents will send her back to the system if she thinks she's defective. Alex says that they wouldn't send back a superhero. He even spouts off some Green Lantern geek speak ala George. So far this season Alex and Addie are the only characters not cringe inducing. I wonder how long it will take the writers to make them all horrible again.

McDreamy is working with the brain patient. He’s lost some part of his memory where he can’t identify the SAT's, a cup, or even his son's name. Wifey freaks out. Mc Dreamy explains to her that it's going to be tough and it will take patience and hard work and that she needs to be supportive. Yang overhears this and learns a lesson...I hope.

Bailey is doing surgery on LMS where she platitudes that "pain is there for a reason". Alex hears this and Alex learns a lesson too.

Blech!!! It's the end of McDreamy and Mer's date. Mer is about to invite him in for a drink or coffee...when in from out behind the bushes is Finn!!! Well at least he remembered Batman's stakeout lessons. I would have rather seen a stealth batarang thrown between McDreamy's eyes but instead he shows up with ice cream. Neither of these two deserves to be called men. Finn and McDreamy then proceed to have the bitchiest pissing contest I've ever seen. There wasn't even a "How's my dick taste?" Seriously, I can't take much more of this. Mer says enough is enough, and goes off on how she wants to be taken on a real date, she wants candy and flowers and she wants them to try to feel her up. She goes on about how this isn’t her fantasy. She wants heat, romance, and to feel like "a freakin' lady."

Anyway we wrap up...Husky, Chief, and McSteamy all check in the same hotel at the same time. Alex comforts Izzie. Yang decides to get tough with Burke, in a good way, and we close with Mer, George and Izzie all eating ice cream in the same bed.
