I Am A Tree

Izzie stops bathing, starts baking, and only leaves the house to deliver some of the thousands of batches of muffins she's made. Alex, for his part, won't stop bothering Bailey -- who's back to her glorious Nazi ways -- to go and stop Izzie's baking frenzy. Cristina gets the shock of her life when she is in Burke's hospital room, mid-strip, and Burke's parents walk in. Burke's mother -- excuse me, "Mama" -- dresses down Cristina for messing with her preshus baybee. Cristina is not pleased. The only light at the end of this particularly dark tunnel is Burke's dad, who is clearly on Cristina's side in the situation. In medical news, there's: an amusing patient with a brain tumor, which causes him to say exactly what he's feeling, like "my sister is fat" and "you look like you want to sleep with that brain surgeon"; a teenage boy who flew off his street luge and got impaled by a gigantic tree limb; and a middle-aged woman with lung cancer who decides she needs to really, really live before dying. Her idea of "living" is making out with Alex in the bathroom of Joe's bar, but we all have our faults. Meredith decides that instead of choosing one or the other, she's going to "date" both McDreamy and McVet before she makes a decision. The two men obviously accept this ridiculous challenge. Meanwhile, Callie takes the blame for the panties Addison pinned to the bulletin board, sending George into a jealous frenzy, which is exactly what Callie wanted. Webber busts Callie in her basement dungeon, leading to a totally sitcom "misunderstanding" in which George walks in and sees them together. She confesses that the panties aren't hers, and they make out. Bailey finally shows up at Meredith's to talk to Izzie and pry the mixing bowl out of her hand, hooray! And Addison, who has realized that her marriage is over, spends the entire episode drunk as a skunk, only to sober up at the end so she can do the nasty nasty with...McSteamy!
