Grey's Anatomy: My Favorite Mistake

T.R. Knight and Katherine Heigl

(S03E19) Ehh... not so much. This wasn't exactly the follow-up I was expecting after last week's Close Encounters of The Gizzie. It just felt off. Like that scene in the supply closet? I found myself asking, "Really... those two?" Last week I thought it was great. Not a huge surprise, but it was something fun. Now I feel like I was in bed with them because it's the morning after and I'm being all weird about it too.

You know how Curb Your Enthusiasm has that ability to make you feel really uncomfortable as a viewer? That's essentially what every scene with George and Izzie in this episode felt like. Something out of Curb. The horrible thing about this is that we better get used to it because I don't think it's going away. It's obvious they want each other (at least from Izzie it is) and it's just going to have to wait until George is willing to break Calleigh's heart. Season finale anyone? I'd be happy if this all went away and Izzie just went back to Alex now that his flirtations with Addison have stopped.

Elsewhere, the race for chief was still moving forward and all the attendings were being interviewed by the hospital board. First off, Marlowe is starting to become a real prick. He seems pretty convinced that he has the job in the bag. Not so fast. Being the one person who probably doesn't deserve the job, I can't say that I'm surprised that at the end of the day Sloan came out on top. The guy is pretty sleazy, but he used his charm, listening skills, and manipulative techniques to his advantage. Much like Webber though, the "right now plan" makes more sense to me too. However, Derek made the smart observation: who knows where you'll be in ten years? Too bad he didn't come to the same conclusion Sloan did. Although Bailey helped Sloan... sort of.

Other stuff:

  • This I didn't even think about until Joel wrote about it, but he made a damn good point. Ever since the accident, Meredith looks way better than she ever did before. Almost dying does a body good apparently.
  • I'm glad Cristina finally made a move and decided to go forward with Burke. Her little holding pattern was getting harder and harder to deal with.
  • Catherine Dent! I love that she guest-starred and unlike Shoreh Aghdashloo's turn last week, I actually cared about Dent's character.
  • I'm gonna flip out if Alex starts up a relationship with Jane Doe. I don't care how hot her new face turns out.
  • Was there an actual point to introducing Hector Elizondo as Calleigh's father? Or was he simply brought in as the catalyst for George to remember the Night of the Living Gizzie? I like Elizondo which is why I ask, but he was just sort of... there.

And of course, the quote of the episode. One I assume everyone laughed at:

Addison (after Izzie asks her about sex with the wrong person): "What am I? The go-to person for adultery?"
