So, the big question is: What happened with George and Izzie?!? Did they really have sex? Did Callie find out? Nope, you’re not getting off that easy (no bad pun intended). First off, the patients.
1. Jane Doe’s New Face
The ferryboat victim is looking much better. No one has come to claim her yet, but Dr. Sloane says he can fix her face — she just needs to pick one of three pictures she wants to look like. Sloane asks Meredith to help with surgery, but Derek thinks he’s just using Mer to gain points in his race to become chief. When Derek confronts Meredith about it, she clearly isn’t having any of it. Um, duh. I’d be pissed if I were her, too!
A few hours later, Jane Doe still hasn’t picked a face. In what is possibly Alex’s nicest move to date (maybe even beating out the time he picked Izzie up out of bed after Denny died), he sits with Jane and makes up lives to go along with the faces. I so think they’re going to fall in love and then Jane Doe’s husband is going to come waltzing back into her life.
Minutes before her surgery, Jane Doe tells Alex she wants to be the last face he showed her. She wants to be “Ava.”
Taking Derek’s words into consideration, Meredith tells Sloane she’s not going to help with the surgery because she knows he’s just using her. Sloane tells her that the chief was looking at her like a lost puppy he picked up off the side of the road and that if she wants to be looked at like a surgeon again, she’ll do the procedure. She does it.
2. Falling FOP
In an awkward situation that could only happen on TV, Callie has both George and Izzie assisting her in a rare case with a woman who has FOP, a congenitive disease that turns her muscles into stone, which essentially turns her body into a statue. She ends up dying during surgery, but not before she tells Izzie how she wishes her daughter (who takes care of her) could have her life back and not be afraid to fall.
3. The Other Foot
A construction manager comes to the clinic with diabetes and is told he must have his foot amputated before the infection in it gets into his blood stream. After the amputation, he asks Cristina what he is supposed to do now. She tells him to try not to lose his other foot.
A Lunch to Remember
Okay, okay, onto the good stuff. A ridiculously hungover George and Callie have an awkward lunch with Callie’s dad. During the lunch, George remembers his night with Izzie… YES, they did sex — apparently multiple times. He storms out of the lunch and tells Callie’s dad that he will not allow him to pay for anything for him and his wife. Back at the hospital, he runs into the broom closet with Izzie, who realizes that he remembers. She reaches out to touch him, and he recoils. Sorry George, you don’t get to blame Izzie for this one. It takes two to tango…
George runs into Mr. Torres in the hospital later, and he tells him he earned his respect be he had better never, ever hurt his daughter.
Cristina’s Do-over
After Cristina’s big fight with Burke last week, she’s determined to make things get back to normal. When she brings him a coffee, he turns it down and tells her he doesn’t want to go back to the way things were before they moved in together. Later, when Cristina goes to wish Burke luck before his presentation to be chief for the board, she tells him he’s still that guy Chief chose to be next in line. He tells her he doesn’t want to be that guy anymore. He wants to be better than that and is only interested in moving forward.
Our Secret
Keeping with the theme of moving forward, Izzie asks George how they are going to move forward — how they are going to tell Callie. George tells her there is no way he’s going to tell Callie. He says she has done nothing but love and support him, and he will just have to live with what he has done.
Final Scenes
Alex is monitoring Jane “Ava” Doe’s fetal monitor, and Addison comes and compliments him. Ava wants to know what’s up with him and the red-headed doctor.
Cristina goes home to Burke and tells him that their wedding will be small — just them, Meredith and Derek. She will absolutely not wear a veil (as if that was ever even a question).
Derek tells Meredith his presentation to the board didn’t go well because he was distracted. He was distracted because he was thinking about her and how he thinks she gave up trying to survive that day in the water. He doesn’t tell her.
At the O’Malley residence, Callie tells George she can still smell his alcohol-odored clothes. We know his apology means so much more than saying he was sorry for smelly clothes.
Izzie rips the sheets off her bed, sits on the end of it and cries. She so wants George.
What do you think: Should George have told Callie about his night with Izzie? Should Derek have confronted Meredith about that day in the water? Will Alex and Ava end up together? Comment here!
