As expected, episode 6.05 “Invasion” was chock-full of drama. We had the invasion of the Mercy Westers and their arrival at Seattle Grace was about as unwelcome as one can imagine. Both sets of doctors were quick to draw a separation line between them and for the rest of the episode it was all about trying to best each other, many times at the expense of the patients under their care. Alex and Reed were put in their place by a patients’ daughter. While Izzie’s confrontation with Charles had damning consequences.
Callie’s storyline for the episode had little to do with …read more

It feels so good to have a new episode of Grey’s Anatomy! And last night’s episode did not disappoint! It was funny and heartbreaking all at the same time.
For those that missed it, or want to revisit the episode, here’s my recap of the episode.
5.20 “Sweet Surrender”
Original airdate: April 23, 2009
 
We open with Meredith and Derek in bed. Meredith is examining her wedding ring from all angles. Meanwhile, Izzie is getting her chemo, while Alex sits at her side, looking around at all of the other patients. Arizona and Callie run into each other in the stairwell and kiss. While …read more

Grey’s Anatomy continues to impress me even more than usual. I almost don’t even know what to say about that episode. I thought it was amazing from start to finish.
If you’ve missed it, or can’t see it from where you are, here’s a brief recap:
“Elevator Love Letter” | Original airdate: 03/26/09
Izzie’s been admitted into Seattle Grace (as we saw last week), and Alex watches over her, from afar. Callie and Arizona dance around the living room (so we can assume that they’re together?) And Cristina and Owen (platonically) fall asleep. But the spinning of the fan seems to affect Owen …read more

I hope that by now everyone’s gotten a chance to watch last night’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy “Stand By Me.” What an awesome episode that was! I know a lot of people have lost faith in the show, but I really think they’ve been knocking it out of the ballpark lately. This last episode was truly wonderful.
A brief recap of the episode is after the jump!

ABC aired the sixteenth episode of Grey’s Anatomy’s fifth season last night and I have to say I thought it was a really great episode. It had its light moments, it had its intense moments, and I thought it was a really wonderful hour of television.
The main story from last night’s episode was Derek’s struggle with his own guilt. He messed up during surgery last week and this error ultimately cost a woman her life. To go along with this theme of mistakes, we saw Izzie dealing with messed up test results, and Cristina and Hunt dealing with another surgeon’s …read more

The storyline for the Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice crossover was set in motion at the end of Grey’s Anatomy, but both shows remained pretty independent of each other. It looks like the real crossover will begin next week.
Here’s what happened during last night’s Grey’s Anatomy episode “Beat Your Heart Out”:
“Beat Your Heart Out”
Original airdate: 02/05/09
 
Denny seems to have officially walked into the light (hopefully for good?) and Izzie is left trying to figure out what might be wrong with her. At the beginning of the episode she’s seen trying to draw her own blood. She’s interrupted by the arrival of her …read more

5.13 Stairway to Heaven
Written by: Mark Wilding
Directed by: Allison Liddi-Brown
Original airdate: January 22, 2009
 
Ellen Pompeo took the day off from doing the voice over narration for last night’s episode and passed the baton over to Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who served as our otherworldly voice of wisdom.
The episode begins with Izzie brushing her teeth and of course Denny’s there watching her. We move on to Meredith who’s watching the monitors, and one can guess she’s waiting on William to crash. William, meanwhile, is still banging his head and bleeding profusely. His monitors eventually begin to beep and nurses rush to his …read more

Tonight Grey’s will conclude the story arc that began with episode 5.11 “Wish You Were Here” in which we met serial killer William Dunn and the young boy Jackson. We’ll find out if Derek will stand back and allow Dunn to save the little boy or if he’ll stop at nothing to make sure Dunn dies in prison.

 
Here’s what’s coming up on tonight’s episode, “Stairway to Heaven”:

Jackson’s condition gets worse and Bailey becomes desperate to save him
All of Seattle Grace steps up to find the boy a new set of organs; Meredith already has a williing donor in mind: serial …read more

5.12 “Sympathy for the Devil”
Original airdate: January 15, 2009
Written by: Jenna Bans
Directed by: Jeannot Szwarc
We open with Bailey watching over Jackson (the little kid that needs a transplant from 5.11 Wish You Were Here). She’s called Dr. Arizona Robbins at 2:30 in the morning to discuss some ideas for getting Jackson bumped up on the list, but Dr. Robbins thinks getting paged 911 at 2:30am just to have a chat is insane troll logic. She marches off to get some sleep.
Derek shows up at the hospital to check up on William Dunn (Eric Stoltz) who’s got “a brain thing” that …read more

Grey’s Anatomy is back! Finally, after many weeks of anxious anticipation, we’ve gotten a new episode. Was it worth the wait?
5.11 “Wish You Were Here”
Original Airdate: 1/8/09
This week’s episode picks up pretty much where things left off, maybe a day or two later. Cristina and Meredith are still mad at each other, Lexie and Mark must deal with the aftermath of their “teaching” session, Callie still has the hots for Sadie, MerDer is still MerDer, Cristina and Hunt are taking things slow, so slow that it’s almost as if they’re not moving at all, Izzie is still seeing Denny …read more
