Grey's Anatomy - What I Am

Okay, to tell you the truth I'm burnt out on this show. I'm not going to dredge through the scene by scene this week, which makes me hate the show even more, but I'm still going to watch and I'm still going to recap. I just need a change of pace this week.

• McDreamy, Finn, and Mer - The competiton is over!!!
  I liked the way that they resolved the Finn part of this equation. Mer lets him down gently and admits that Robin the Vet Wonder might be the better man, but he's not the "One". McDreamy is the "One" even though she doesn't necessarily want him to be. The heart wants what the heart wants. I can buy that and it works. In the meantime, McDreamy realizes that he's been a projecting, passive-aggressive, waffling, asshat for these last few months and decides that he cares enough about Mer to walk away. Mer let's Finn go. Finn finally lets his grapefruits out of his green short shorts to breathe and leaves with a "The next time her hurts you, I'm not going to be there line". See ya Finn! Maybe you can hook up with Alicia Silverstone and compare notes on how Batman and Robin put the screws to your career.

• Burke and Yang
  Burke gets cleared for surgery while McDreamy is complaining about his chick problems? The hospital's counsel watching at home must have thrown a fit! Burke has to admit that he's not ready and more importantly, get Yang to admit that he's not ready. She opens up a bit more and lets Burke know that she'll be prepared to help him mask his surgical shortcomings until he's well again. This segment was brought to you by Bad Idea Jeans.

• George and Dr. Husky
  Husky starts the episode complaining that they don't get to spend time together since George's attention is taken by either Mer or Izzy. Poor George, having to juggle a girlfriend and two needy, emotional trainwreck, homegirls is tough to do. I can sympathize, I had to juggle a girlfreind and three of them. Not fun at all. George has to break a date, again to help Izzy deal with her situation. Dr. Husky says it's over. I get Husky's frustration, but if she really loved George, doesn't she love the part of George that's always there for his friends? Anyway, Husky decides to get her drink on and runs into McSteamy. They leave...together...presumably to get nasty. I wonder if she's gonna tell McSteamy that she loves him too. If she did that would be awesome!!!
  

• Izzy meets Denny's Dad
  Katherine Heigl get a chance to show off her acting chops here and has an epsiode long conversation with Denny's dad. They discuss support and abandonment and more and more things Denny. Loved the emotion, hated the subject matter. Denny's Dad is convinced that Denny truly loved Izzy and that she was worthy of the cryptic envelope which had a code for Denny's voicemail. She listens to the voicemail at home. She's so wrapped up that George notes that there was also a check in the envelope...for a cool $8,700,000. Again nice twist.
  

Closing Thoughts: I really hated the Mer on morphine scenes. I know it was supposed to be cute and quirky, but she acted like she was on sodium penathol or suddenly had the brain condition where the dude said whatever was on his mind from a few episodes ago. Oh yeah, the preggers scare at the beginning wasn't kosher. McDreamy calling McSteamy a "liar and a cheat" was pretty rich in it's hypocrisy as well. I also hated Addie having to prop Mer up with her "Don't hurt her again" speech to McDreamy. Here we go with the boost Mer and McDreamy, while we highlight everyone elses character flaws over the next few weeks progression that is bound to happen. First, we find out that McSteamy's a gaping asshole. Really? Wasn't he McDreamy's best friend? He would Ronnie really be friends with a guy that much of an ass? Did McSteamy shit on HIS house? Second, McSteamy alludes that there was more to he and Addie's relationship than what we and McDreamy have been told. Here it comes, everyone sucks except for Mer and McDreamy so we can be happy when they get together. Anyway, this epsiode did clear up alot of the b.s. that had accumulated over the last half of last season. Plus, that dude's face on fire was pretty cool.
