Matt Mitovich has let out a few more hints about what happens as a result of Daddy Torres’ visit. According to his sources, “the resulting scenes serve up quite a showcase for the acting chops of both Sara Ramirez and Jessica Capshaw.”

And as a bonus: We get to find out how Arizona got her name. Hint: It has nothing to do with the state.

Looking forward to it!

ABC has rolled out the welcome mat to our favorite peds surgeon. That should make our dear Callie very happy. I think she’s had enough heartache for a while, don’t you think?

Now this isn’t terribly shocking news, as her promotion’s been in the air for a while, but it’s now finally official, and that’s always something to celebrate. So hopefully that will cheer some of you up.

Congratulations to Jessica Capshaw. This certainly makes us Arizona fans very happy.

Alas, we still don’t know if Izzie and/or George come back next season, and must continue the long, painful wait for answers.

But for you Katherine Heigl fans, there’s this from Sharon Lawrence (she who plays Izzie’s mom in tonight’s episode). I’m going to quote it in its entirety because it’s flattering and nice. On the subject of her first day on the set of Grey’s, she has this to say on the subject of Heigl:

“The first thing I did was barge in and hug her,” Lawrence explains with a laugh. “I could tell right away she was present and not guarded. We got to know each other as the day went on, because we would have time to talk about other things while we were waiting to work. It’s an odd thing we do for a living. Sometimes you have to get very close to somebody right away. That’s why I was so grateful for her openness and warmth, and it’s because of that that we were able to make physical and emotional choices that really conveyed the intimacy these two had. She is such an honest and open actress. There is not an untrue bone in her body as an actor, and it made my job so easy.”

Further proof that Katherine Heigl is awesome.

And now for some actual spoilers. These pertain to Meredith and her relationship with both Thatcher and the Chief.

**spoilers**

Though it looks like Meredith will not resolve all of her Daddy Thatcher issues in tonight’s episode, Ausiello tells us that she will “reach a new understanding with the Chief.” I’m not sure what that means. She also gives him a “pretty major” gift, which may “play a big role next season.” The last part is Ausiello speculating, so don’t take it as fact quite yet. However, feel free to start speculating yourselves.

What could this major gift be? Drop your thoughts in the comments!

At least for a while longer.

Her contract has been extended for the remaining episodes of this season with an option to become a series regular come season six.

To me, that’s … how should we say it? Oh yes: Super! Some of us really, really like her.

For those of you still lingering in Bittersville over the awfulness that was the Brooke Smith-firing (which I still think sucks, no matter how many lesbians ABC throws into the mix), how do you feel about this?

And for those of you over the bitterness, are you happy? Sad? Disappointed?

Personally, I’m excited. I love Callie and I love Arizona and I’m looking forward to some more Calzona.
