Something To Talk About
Updated 2005-11-11 16:00:00
Meredith is sad that McDreamy dumped her, and becomes even sadder when the entire hospital points and stares. Cristina and Izzie steal a male patient who has been diagnosed with a hysterical pregnancy from the psych ward -- only, it's the man's wife who is actually pregnant, and his "baby" turns out to be an enormous, malignant teratoma. With teeth. And hair. Delicious! Naturally, in lockstep with Mere's own life, everyone points and stares. McDreamy attempts several times to speak to Meredith, until Bailey gives him the smackdown we've all been waiting for. Meredith, in a move almost worthy of Bailey, finally sacks up and gives McDreamy a smackdown of her own.
In other relationship news, Burke and Cristina argue for about seventy years about whether to let Webber in on their little secret, until Burke decides he's had enough and goes to Webber against Cristina's wishes. McDreamy and Addison go to marriage counseling; Addison decides to move to Seattle so they can make up, but it's actually so she can make lots of money there and be a real famous neonatologist. And in my favorite relationship story of the night, Burke and George bond over a very cranky woman who is in for heart surgery. The woman's long-suffering husband is astounded that she's not dead after her heart CATCHES ON FIRE during her fifth surgery, and makes a break for it before she wakes up. George and Burke have a good laugh about this, and Burke tells George he's "[his] guy." Meanwhile, Alex is late for rounds and gets stuck babysitting a wheelchair-bound college freshman, who is trying to decide whether to have a procedure that would improve her quality of life and thus allow her some independence from her parents. She and Alex teach each other some hard lessons about life during their time together: the girl gets the operation, and Alex finds Izzie at the bar after work and kisses the ever-loving fool out of her. Hooray!
