Here's the first 11 minutes or so. Part 1:

S: Hi!
B: Hello!
S: I'm Shonda
B: I'm Betsy
S/B: This is Grey's Anatomy!
B: And we're back
S: We are back after a long break, we are back.
B: It feels really, really good to be back. The energy here is really good. Everybody is excited to be working. Um, it was really nice to see all the writers again and the cast again. The commissary was especially happy to see everybody back. I think there was a little sad there for awhile, had to eat their own sandwiches. Cause they really didn't have anyone to eat their food. They are very nice over here at the commissary actually, good food.
S: Good food
B: Friendly people, reasonable prices, always good to know
S: That's our commissary shoutout
B: Our commissary shoutout. And soon we'll do a guardbooth shoutout too cause they are nice people too.
B: What I actually loved about this episode is that the energy for this episode is amazing and personally I think it has to do with that intern contest that you guys came up with.
S: Yeah
B: The resident contest, which is really such an amazing callback to the competition of these characters.
S: I loved it because the episode is called "Where the Wild Things Are" and I loved the contest because we've been talking about animal instincts and what makes people sort of feral and crazy. I've been wanting to see the interns like living in the hospital and came up with this idea of a contest, which apparently in some hospitals is a real thing. Um, yeah, which makes you feel pretty good about being sick.
B: I was just about to say, you go in and its like whoa somebody smells and its not you.
S: But literally they are earning points for doing procedures, they're earning points for watching surgeries, earning points for solving medical mysteries. And it makes them all a little bit crazy which I think is great.
B: Its my favorite moment is when Izzie says I'm sleek, like a cheetah. Which is great because she's a bit cheetah-like, a bit crazy and whacky. And I really, really love personally when you win you get the sparkle pager.
S: We felt really strongly about the sparkle pager.
B: I loooove the sparkle pager!!!!
S: In the writers room, we were a little bit obsessed with the sparkle pager. It started off, they just needed to get a prize. Then we started talking about what the prize could be, and then I kept thinking, you know the best thing in the world would be to get any and every surgery you ever wanted. Really, if you are in this contest that is what is interesting to you. So then we started talking about that Bailey gives it to them. To me it was this pager that Bailey had literally, painstakingly hot glued little glitter things on.
B: heh heh heh
S: We were saying its a bedazzled pager. For ages, over the years as its been passed down she just get regluing as they kept falling off this pager.
B: Great moment when you find out that the chief actually participated in this contest too all the way back in 19.... whatever that would have been. Long standing tradition, way before Bailey.
S: Absolutely
B: I have to say, our props person Angela who is phenomenal, she had quite a selection of possible pagers.
S: She brought me like 4 or 5 pagers
B: They were pretty fabulous
S: Yeah, I got to pick the one I thought was the coolest one. I had to pick something I thought was both male and female.
B: Unisex, very unisex which I like
S: I was pretty hot for the pink bedazzled pager but we thought the red and white was very medical.
B: So another great thing obviously because This is Where the Wild things are these people fight like animals was for people to come in after the bear attack.
S: As victims. We spent a lot of time talking about could people be attacked by a bear. I was saying could they have been attacked at the zoo. Then we came up with its Seattle, you're not that far from camping in Seattle. So it felt good and necessary and right that they would have been camping and be attacked by a bear, which we thought was awesome.
B: Both Clea Duvall and Jason O'Mara are terrific.
S: They're amazing.
B: Um I think we were really, really also lucky to get Jason who is in a show called Life on Mars, been a big fan of his for a long, long time so it was great to get a chance to actually work with him.
S: Here's a little tidbit for you guys - he has a very hot Irish accent.
B: Very hot.
S: So that American accent he's doing on the show? Not the way he talks. That's what a good actor he is.
B: A good actor, sounds very good when he's Irish
S: The Irish is hot
B: Equally saucey
S: Maybe even saucier
B: Maybe even saucier, maybe sauciest
S: yes
B: However he plays a wonderful American accented tortured character, who I don't know about you, but if I was his rebound girl I'd be pretty damn happy.
S: That's what she says
B: That's what she says even though she has that massive skin flap, which is really concerning.
S: heh heh heh heh heh
B: I love that when she takes off her hat & Meredith's expression is "OK, that's so not right".
S: There's a piece of your head hanging off
They giggle/babble about the piece of head hanging off
S: You got a little somthin' right there, hee hee
More giggle/babble about the head
B: I liked that hat though
S: Oh! I spent a lot of time choosing hats too.
B: Well she had to have a hat that was big enough for a skin flap for god's sake
S: and that didn't show the blood and that looked like a hat someone would really, really wear. A long hat choosing project with Mimi our costume designer.
B: I liked the tam. For awhile we were going to don you in a tam
S: I had a bad hair day and I went through a hat period.
B: She actually started playing with the idea of wearing a hat which I thought would be kind of awesome around the office. Don't you think it would be funny to have a meeting with Shonda and she was wearing a big ass hat?
S: Not like a casual little cap, like a big giant wide-brimmed hat
B: Like a Southern gothic big hat with like flowers on it
S: Yeah
B: Maybe like a hippie hat
S: Yeah, exactly
B: That would be kinda good. But let me say, we jettisoned that plan, we didn't end up going with the big hat look.
S: I stopped just short of wearing the hat
B: Her hair totally resolved herself, which is awesome. Just a little bit of personal sharing because we know how special that is.
S: Speaking of hair, we love different hair
B: Exactly what I was going to say
S: Sloan is clean shaven
B: Karev has some spicy facial hair too
S: He does look very good with lots of facial hair. And Izzie got a haircut.
B: She did. She cut off her pretty blonde hair.
S: Part of what was big about that was I really wanted to show that time had passed. I remember calling up Justin just to shoot the breeze before we started shooting and I was like "start growing your facial hair". Katie wanted to cut her hair and I was like "go for it!" so it actually turned out pretty good because I felt like it enhanced that feeling that we had been away for awhile.
B: So its 6 weeks?
S: Its about 6 weeks.
B: 6 weeks since we last our doctors at Seattle Grace.

Part 2:

S: Meredith sort of finds her thing in this episode which was really important. I love the idea that they were all participating so wildly in this contest. And Meredith wins only to realize that its not about the contest at all. For me, that is what was interesting about her and Izzie trying to solve these medical mysteries. I don't want to talk too much about it because you will watch it evolve over the next few episodes but Meredith proposes this clinical trial to Derek, says I think I found a way to save lives, which I think is going to be amazing. And Izzie is sort of left having lost but feeling bad about it. I loved this feeling, she was sort of sitting in the clinic licking her wounds, animal instincts, licking her wounds when the chief comes in and basically tells her that she was in a lion fight. I loved his line that the signs you bear are the signs of a competitor. You were in a lion fight even if you didn't win doesn't mean you don't know how to roar. To me that was just amazing, in terms of watching her evolution as well, of realizing what this contest was about. Plus, she got to work with Cheech Marrin. He's wonderful, I couldn't believe he said yes.
B: and that incredible monologue, when he's livid
S: yeah
B: which is just one of the best things ever. He's such a good actor. I mean, you see the comedic side of Cheech a lot
S: He's really a fine actor
B: Especially when he was getting the spinal tap
S: He's all sad but I love the "Fluids and rest?!". He's lovely. The part is funny and moving at the same time, which was great.
B: And you know what I think is really important throughout all this? Izzie honestly didn't think she was abusing this patient, she honestly thought there might be something wrong with him.
S: At the very least, she convinced herself that something was wrong with him. Was trying very hard to diagnose and figure it out. The other thing that was going on was Hahn and Callie became better friends than when we last saw them. Starting to become friends, really hanging out together which is a nightmare for Cristina because the person she is friends with, roommate with is friends with the person who tortures her on a daily basis.
B: Pretty much worst case scenario.
S: And she can't get in. She wants to find a way to get into this nice thing Callie has got going like I could be friends with her, maybe it would be good for me. And it just never happens. Which I love, I love to watch her fight it and be miserable.
B: What's great is this is the one area where she really doesn't have the skillset. She just bashes up against things, she bashes her head against the wall and tries to get in.
S: Making the friends is not something Cristina is very good at doing.
B: Nor is she good at friendship subtleties. Its pretty much just smack up against it.
S: Its why she and Meredith get along so well. They don't do any of the subtleties, they're just out there.
B: I think its great for Callie after going through everything she went through with George & wading through the McSteamy
muck
S: To get to have a friend and have some fun
B: and hang out. Addison left and Addison was a really good friend of hers. Its a great thing to be able to see the gals hang out and see a more fun side of Dr. Hahn who can be a bit of a hard ass
S: Its nice to see her lighter side and realize that even if she is mean to Cristina she's not mean to everybody.
B: And by the way she wears a nice cocktail dress.
S: She does
B: I noticed in the trench coat scene in the beginning, them both coming in, they both look sort of smart
S: Rob was not happy about the costume budget that day
B: Rob Corn by the way
S: Bossy McBossy
B: Bossy McBossy, our executive producer/director he directed this episode. He's kinda rockin'.
S: He's not kinda rockin', he's relaly rockin'
B: He's really rockin'
S: He's a rockstar
B: If you're listening Rob, you're not that rockin' and wait until you see the costume budget. We had a guest editor on this one too.
S: Mare? Ramsey (not sure I got the first name right), an editor on Private Practice now, used to be an editor on Grey's came over to help us out cause we had a pinch in schedule and he did an awesome job too. He edited episode 3.09 of Grey's, the big Cristina blood McBath episode, which she tells on Burke. So, he knows what he is doing.
B: He absolutely does.
S: One of my favorite things about this episode, I think I've probably said that twice already, but this is also one of my favorite things about this episode is Lexie stealing things.

Part 3:

S: Lexie steals things all throughout the episode. My favorite moment is when she steals the painting off the wall.
B: heh heh heh heh heh. I like "ohhh fruit bowl"
S: That's good too.
B: Also, I think its really sweet at the very, very end when she says to George and they're in the crapartment, she says to George I've never stolen a thing in my life, not even like a lipstick.
S: Yeah
B: I don't know, she's really good at it. I think maybe denial runs in the Grey family, that's all I'm gonna say cause she stole like a pro. She stole the flowers right under the nose of the person who got the flowers. That's some bold move.
S: I love that she and George are living in this horrible, hideous crapartment. We started calling it the crapartment the minute we came up with it. They are living in this horrible, hideous crapartment and there are roaches everywhere and TR could not have been funnier, having to faux crush roaches, very stressful for him. You know, literally we put live roaches in the scene with the poor man.
B: I'm also going to say they weren't tiny roaches.
S: No, they were big roaches, yeah
B: Like I was appalled at the size of roaches
S: Yeah there were some huge roaches. It was gross. But it was also awesome. You know, they do live on an intern's salary and while Meredith may live in her mother's house and Cristina and Callie both may have money, if you're not living in Meredith's house you don't really have any place good to live. So I thought it was great that he was living in this crappy crapartment. The other thing that is new about this episode if you'll notice is that Meredith is in therapy with Dr. Wyatt.
B: Therapy.....
S: Which we thought was interesting simply because you know because I've always been very against the idea of people being in therapy. But I felt like where we are heading with Meredith she had finally reached a point in which it was fully and completely necessary for her character to sort of go there. I love that she comes in basically saying I'm not planning on talking, I'd rather study and I just have to sit here . I'll get the same effects as if I actually talked. I thought it was just great.
B: Quite a study
S: Its true, its a real study, it was interesting to us. And, then in the end she realized that she better start talking cause she's got some problems. She likes the Der and he's with Rose.
B: And he's with Rose. You know, I think its still gonna be a little tough for her to talk.
S: Oh yeah. Meredith talking isn't going to be easy.
B: By the way, if your going to walk in a door and you're therapist is Amy Madigan you better start talking.
S: Exactly
B: Cause she's great and you want to take advantage of whatever the heck she's got to say. I think that's going to be interesting and we're going to see more of Dr. Wyatt. Now, next week we have something kind of exciting and cool which is
S: The appearance of Addison Forbes Montgomery!
B: She's back! For one episode
S: She's visiting
B: She's visiting
S: She's doing some stuff that only Addison Forbes Montgomery can do.
B: That's correct
S: Both surgically and personally
B: Which means she's wearing some smokin' clothing and has some beautiful shoes on.
Babble about Addison's clothes
B: It will be a great episode to watch because she brings some perspective back to Seattle Grace
S: Wish we could tell you more but we can't
B: We can't
S: You need to watch it
B: You need to watch it cause its going to be pretty good
S: We'll talk about it afterwards
B: We will, actually. We're looking forward to talking to you again next week about episode 4.13
S: 4.13 is called Piece of My Heart. Which is very apropos actually, as all our titles are.
B: Exactly and always based on a song title.
S: Yes. And it only gets better.
B: That's right
S: I'm Shonda
B: I'm Betsy

'Grey's Anatomy': 'House' hunting

09:59 AM PT, Apr 25 2008

Well, now we know what the writers of "Grey's Anatomy" were doing during the strike, when they weren't walking the picket lines of course. They were watching "House."

Last night marked the first new episode of "Grey's" in many, many months. Not content with beating its fellow medical drama out of the post-strike box by five days -- the first new "House" airs on Monday -- show runner Shonda Rhimes and her crack team of writers seem to be poking gentle fun, and paying some homage to, the strange powers of their rivals at Fox.

First there was the resident's contest in which Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Cristina (Sandra Oh), Alex (Justin Chambers) and Izzie (Katherine Heigl) competed for points based on things like number of sutures stitched or surgeries scrubbed in on. It looked suspiciously like the competition Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) set up last season to choose a new diagnostics team, especially since "solving a medical mystery" was assigned the highest point value.

So Meredith diagnosed a brain tumor by considering a patient's hasty marriage on the rebound a symptom, while Izzie put a patient (Cheech Marin) with a sprained ankle through a battery of tests, including a spinal tap (she did stop short of the Housian favorite, the MRI). Meanwhile, Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and Mark (Eric Dane) had mildly flirtatious conversations on elevators

, a la House and Dr. Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard).

If someone was walking around with a cane, though, I missed it.
It was pretty funny for those of us who follow both shows. Rhimes has a knack for lassoing the zeitgeist, whether it be her cast of many colors or her enthusiastic use of the Internet to connect with her viewers, so it's not surprising that she would unabashedly grab the general trend toward media cross-pollination and inject it into her show. (At the end of the "Grey's" episode, the Chief (James Pickens Jr.) even totted up the cost of the tests Izzie had run just as Dr. Cuddy

(Lisa Edelstein) does so often on "House.")

The recognition from the creators of one hit medical show that another exists, and has its own strange set of foibles, not only makes for interesting television, it creates another level of shared intimacy with the audience, an inside joke for us bazillion viewers. As the rest of the media world grapples with tone and transparency, the folks at "Grey's," who dominated the Web with their pro-strike shorts, have given us another point of connection: there are people at work behind these shows and apparently they watch TV too.

Of course, "Grey's" is not "House" and never pretended to be. The personal lives of the staff remain front and center, though everyone seems to be taking a bit of a breather from the pell-mell hook-up and breakup pattern that threatened the show last season. Derek is still pursuing Rose because he apparently has not read the countless magazine articles

in which Rhimes has assured everyone he and Meredith will get back together for good. Callie (Sara Ramirez) is chumming it up with Erica (Brooke Adams) and they will win cutest couple if hints from "next on "Grey's" are anything more than a big tease. (How does Ramirez get her hair so shiny?) Although it was a relief to see Meredith retraining her focus on medicine -- and getting into therapy! It's never too late Meredith!

-- Lexie (Chyler Leigh) seems to be picking up the neurotic/neediness slack, redecorating her ratty apartment with bedpans so George (T.R. Knight) will remain her roommate.

Oh, and there was a grizzly bear attack, which was pretty unnerving considering that a Hollywood trainer was recently killed by a grizzly. But I don't think even Rhimes could have seen that one coming.

'Grey's Anatomy' Recap: Lion Fight & Bear Attack

It has been three months since Grey's Anatomy last aired (stupid writers' strike). This was one of the few times I wish ABC had aired a refresher on the season like they do after every two episodes of Lost because for the first five minutes of tonight's episode I was a bit...lost. Don't worry, like another hit ABC show, my memory came back as the episode wore on. Let's begin:

While it has been 12 weeks in real-life time, only half that time has passed for the doctors at Seattle Grace. The Mer/Der breakup was the straw that broke sanity's back, and Meredith is finally in therapy with Amy Madigan, who will always be Uncle Buck's girlfriend to me. Because Meredith is Meredith she isn't actually opening up to the doc, which is fine. I'm sure Amy Madigan has seen the show so she knows how jacked-up Meredith is.

Derek is dating Rose, who has no personality

but manages to tell Lexi that she is in love with McDreamy, all in earshot of Meredith. Can anyone really blame Meredith for being a nutcase? Oh, and we'll get Lexi and George's story line out of the way right here since it isn't really that integral to the plot. They have moved into a roach infested apartment together, and George whines about it and Lexi decides to nest, which in her mind means steal loads of stuff from the hospital. It may not really have a purpose, but it was damn entertaining to watch Lexi steal a painting off the wall and admit to George that she did try to steal a television, but they bolted them to the walls.

Meanwhile, Izzie, Alex, Meredith, and Christina are involved in some sort of contest that everyone refers to as a lion fight. They don't actually get into an arena to duke it out, but I wouldn't be surprised. They get points based on what they're doing all while living in the hospital for two solid weeks. The big points come when someone solves a medical mystery, not like curing cancer or something, but simply finding a sickness a patient is not aware of. Can I once again state that going to Seattle Grace as a patient would either be the best experience or worse experience of your life.

Make sure you go after at least one person has died there that day, otherwise your chances of survival goes down.

Before we focus on the patients of the episode some minor plots going on are: 1)Callie and Erica becoming best friends and 2) Christina getting jealous that Callie's friend is the woman she wants to be her mentor. Meanwhile, the homoeroticism of Derek and Mark heat up with Mark wanting Derek all to himself because he has nobody to talk to. When they finally hook up the world will give a collective, "I knew it!"

Now onto the patients. We've got a trio of bear attack survivors, one who has his intestines in his hands. His brother survived relatively unscathed, and then that guy's wife had part of her scalp ripped off. She didn't seem to mind though, she referred to it as a scratch. Alex and Christina get stuck on stitching duty for intestines guy while Meredith helps the other two.

Turns out they are newlyweds, and the husband refers to her as his rebound girl. He also touched the bear cub even though he knew he shouldn't. Red flags go off in Meredith's head who excitedly jumps up and yells, "Tumor!" Professional Mer, very professional.

Izzie, meanwhile, works on a Cheech Marin, who has a fractured ankle. Not wanting to lose the contest, Izzie decides that Cheech might actually be dying and orders up $120,000 worth of tests. She feels she is going to change this man's life when she somehow finds a disease and then tries to cure him. She finds the flu and gets Cheech majorly pissed off in the process.

In Alex and Christina land, the Chief tells Alex that he is an underdog, to which Alex responds that he isn't an underdog he just got dealt a bad hand and is doing the best he can. Christina, meanwhile, gets to give hourly updates to Erica. It bugs her since she doesn't want to lose the contest until Erica asks Christina to watch her perform a surgery. It may only be worth 3 points, but Christina actually accepts it and grows a little on the inside.

Meanwhile, intestines guy dies, not a shocker.

Turns out Meredith did find a tumor in her patient, which also happens to be inoperable. This sets her over the top in the contest, and Bailey rewards her with a blinged out pager and first pick of any surgery for the next three months. Rather than be happy about it, Meredith works overnight trying to find a way to actually save lives and comes up with a clinical trial to help cure people like her tumor guy. She brings her proposal to Derek because she needs a neurosurgeon, and the hospital only has one. It is this moment that gives Meredith the strength to actually begin working through her problems, and she begins to talk to Amy Madigan.

Welcome back "Grey's Anatomy," I've missed you!

Grey's Anatomy actor T.R. Knight, who came out of the closet last year, walked the carpet with his 19-year-old boyfriend of several months, Mark Cornelsen. "He's an awesome guy," said Knight, 35, who will whisk his beau away on vacation during his abbreviated summer hiatus from the show. "I'm really lucky."
There's something gay coming up on Grey's for its season finale as well. "I was surprised as anyone," said Knight. "Anytime on television that real life is reflected is a good thing."
USA Today Article about the GLADD Media Awards

SOMEONE thinks it will be a Hahn/Yang kiss because Shonda said it will be unexpected. I still think it could be Hahn/Torres. If Callie has a, "I don't swing that way," or "I am just interested in being friends" attitude, like it looks like she will... then if she initiates a kiss, THAT would be unexpected. I guess we'll see. We have a little wager riding on it. I just have to decide what I win when I am right. ;)

Question: I would love some new Grey's Anatomy scoop. — Clare
Ausiello: Curious as to what prompts Callie to turn to Mark in her time of need? Then you might want to check out this week's Ausiello Report vodcast

. And please forgive the date discrepancy. For some reason that only my pharmacist knows, I said the episode airs on March 8 instead of May 8.
( tube_fiend note: According to the podcast, in the May 8 episode, Callie will turn to Mark in her time of need. Ausiello's sources confirm they're knocking boots. The question is what happens to Callie that she seeks comfort from Mark. Ausiello hears she's just horny.)

Writers' Blog posted!
Zoanne Clack on "Where the Wild Things Are"...
Original Airdate: 4-24-08

Okay, before I start the blog, I wanted to mix this up a little in the spirit of the episode. Let’s have a contest. 10 points for whomever tells me why Bailey’s carrying her baby around all the time. 25 points if you can tell me the name of the crazy tumor that Phillip ends up having (no cheating by going back and looking!!! We’re on the honor system here!). 40 points for the guesser of the theme of this episode. And here’s the motherload, the “medical mystery” if you will: there are lyrics to a song referenced within this blog (which also gives another clue to the theme). 80 points for the person who can name the song (and an extra 20 for the artist). Answers are in spoilers at the end (remember: honor code people!).

Alright, you with me? Let’s start this party right. I know I, for one, have been a bottom-feeder for the last few months. A scavenger sitting in the mud and spitting out rocks on the bottom of the fishtank, flipping through my TIVO and watching umpteenth re-runs, models modeling, mensa members losing to fifth graders, chefs making 20-course meals out of garbanzo beans, and stars doing everything from dancing to rehab to showing us their “other talents.” Although I do admit that I have been crazy inspired by The Biggest Loser. Love it. Can’t get enough of it. I sing the theme song to myself as I get up in the morning (What have you done today, to make you feel proud…?) And the piece de la resistance: Groomer Has It. Animal Planet. Feel the burn.

Did I mention I’m SO GLAD WE’RE BACK????!!! So glad prime-time network TV is back and can fill my TIVO with sweet, yummy non-rerun fictional candy again. Can I get an Amen?

So what’s been going on in the 6 weeks (tv time) since we’ve been gone? I’ve heard a lot of speculation out there, but Meredith is absolutely. Not. Pregnant. Not even close. Hasn’t even had sex. With anyone. Meredith. Our beloved, “have-sex-instead-of-problems”, “meet-your-soul-mate-and-sleep-with-him-after-picking-him-up-in-a-bar” Meredith. She’s traded sex for… therapy? Therapy? Our Meredith? She senses there’s something wrong, something really wrong. But she can’t put her finger on it. Or can’t admit what she’s already put her finger on. Therapy is interesting because it’s the one place you get to talk about yourself incessantly and someone actually LISTENS. They’re actually paid to listen to your drivel. And occasionally give you mind-blowing assessments of your behavior. But Mer’s not quite taking full advantage of that. But it looks like there’s some movement at the end… we’ll see what she does with that. Maybe it’ll help her actually start acting like a human being around Derek. They haven’t spoken in the entire six-week interim. Mer’s been totally avoiding him and he’s been avoiding her. But they can’t keep that up. They can’t handle that. Deep, deep down, on their basest levels, taking intellect out of the picture, they belong together. They need each other. It’s instinctual, base, feral.

But what if it’s not? What if all of their instincts are wrong, like with Izzie? She put all of her blood, sweat and tears into Cheech, I mean, Otis, and for what? Poor Izzie. It’s time for her to figure out who she wants to be and what kind of doctor she wants to be. On her own. Not emulating Cristina, not fighting for lost causes, something where she can take charge and find out what she’s good at. Don’t you think? Thank God Richard’s around to put everything into perspective for her. Maybe her instincts weren’t great, but she’s human. And being human ain’t so bad.

Unless you’re Cristina. When being human is bad. When being human means that you have to go against all your natural instincts to win at all costs. When being human means you have to put your tail between her legs (figuratively speaking, of course) and sacrifice the win to get where you want to go in life. To realize that sometimes in order to win, you’ve got to lose – you have to give up one thing to gain another.

What you gain can be what you need. Humans need human connection. And when they don’t get it, they tend to take it out on other people and not realize what they’re doing themselves. Who could I possibly be talking about? Maybe a little guy we like to call George? George walking around like a wounded lion. Pouncing on people left and right, trying not to show the scars of being left out of his peer group. Poor Lexie got the brunt of this… little did he know he had a friend right there, the whole time, wanting to be there for him. And frickin’ Lexie! There’s someone who needs to be loved. So sad. So vulnerable. Which kind of actually makes her strong in a very co-dependent kind of “please like me” kind of way. She’s like a little puppy who works so hard to do right and please their owner (except that puppies don’t usually have the whole alcoholic father part). Her pleasing puppy is in sharp contrast to Alex’s underdog, who’s always fighting to keep his head above water. For him, it’s like a jungle sometimes, it makes him wonder how he keeps from going under. There’s something going on with him. With his past. Something that doesn’t fully let him reach his ultimate potential…. Hmmm, maybe we’ll start finding out what that is soon. Every dog has its day.

Humans also get jealous, and boy is that running rampant around Seattle Grace. Cristina so wants to be in the Callie-Erica crowd and she’s so not. Callie and Erica are like birds of a feather now. They stick together. And Cristina is not in any way a part of their flock. And what about Mark? He’s totally jealous of Derek. It’s like Derek is the prodigal wolf that strayed from the pack and Mark’s been waiting for him to come back, but Derek’s not coming. Mark thought they’d go back to the pre-Addison days where they were hunters on the prowl, spiders spinning their webs. But Derek’s already moved on to new prey. Already catching someone new in his web.

And that somebody is Rose. During the time we haven’t seen them they’ve developed a bit of a mating ritual where she pretends she doesn’t care and tries to hold on to her iguana aloofness even in the face of the overwhelming cuteness that is McDreamy. And for once, he’s not trying to hold back the McDreaminess. Usually reserved only for Meredith, he’s weaving his web and it’s trapping Rose. The more she resists, the tighter the web gets around her. I don’t think she’ll be fighting it much more. But will Derek watch her struggle in his web, store her up for later, or go for it? He seems pretty determined… she wants what he wants. She’s a real woman ready for a real relationship. And despite Mark’s incessant taunting, Derek’s going to stay true to Derek.

As Bailey stays true to Bailey. Taking care of the hospital, the residents, her baby, her life, and overall just being supreme ruler of the universe that she is. But can she handle it all? Is she superwoman or is she about to implode? Or perhaps even explode. I mean, she just went through one of the biggest tragedies of her life, feeling like she may have failed in protecting her own little bear cub. Then here comes this literal mama bear that kills because her bear cub was just touched. Overreaction? Or simply just instinct? Can Bailey’s instincts be as sharp as she thinks they can be? I think she really believes she can handle it all. She is woman, hear her roar. She’s also a doctor. And a chief resident. A wife. A mother. (CAUTION: SPOILERS (answers) AHEAD!) She’s split up with her hubby and she’s trying to get as much time with Little Tuck as possible (10 points). She’s a Mama Bear. Which is how we got to our theme: Animal Instincts (40 points). A freakin’ bear attacked Phillip because he had a malignant glioma (25 points – and I’ll give it to you if you guessed just “glioma”) that was causing him to go against his own natural instincts. Not to mention our residents are running around the hospital like rodents, feeding off of the life (and death) of the hospital.

And now for the ultimate. The motherload. The “medical mystery” of it all. The 80-point monster:

The lyric was: It’s like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under… And the song is called “The Message” (circa 1982).

20-point bonus if you guessed Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

How’d you do? Max is 175…

To help rouse the masses, Rhimes has some good news (and some not-so-good news) to report: She's packed lots of drama into the show's final four hours. Newly single mom Bailey (Chandra Wilson) tries to keep up a game face at work; McSteamy (Eric Dane) will be forced to follow a new hospital-wide ''date and tell'' policy at Seattle Grace after his trysts with various nurses catch up with him; Izzie becomes Alex's (Justin Chambers) confidante as he tackles new complications with Rebecca/Ava (Elizabeth Reaser); the Chief (James Pickens Jr.) will attempt to reconcile with Adele (Loretta Devine); and Cristina (Sandra Oh) will be faced with the ghost of Preston Burke when news of his career achievement rocks her world. Meanwhile, George will lean on the Chief for support and Callie (Sara Ramirez) will find love in the arms of someone completely unexpected.

Joan Rater On "The Becoming"...

Original Airdate: 5-8-08
Hi everyone, this is Joan. Tony and I wrote this episode, "The Becoming" and I'd like to share some of my thoughts about it with you, but first I'd like to say ... OH MY GOD!!!! I just saw some stuff that was shot for the Season Four Finale (that Shonda wrote) and it's soooooo good. I don't mean to torment you and I really wish I could tell you all the cool things that are going to happen, and you should know the great restraint it's taking me not to give you even the tiniest little hint of what's to come (keep an eye on that champagne bottle from tonight's episode) because I have a big mouth and am really bad at keeping secrets so I can really relate to Izzie in this episode.
But enough about me and the Finale because first we have to get there and getting there is really what "The Becoming" is about. Becoming who you want to be, who you know you could be if you weren't quite so screwed up or preoccupied with kissing when you need to be thinking about surgery. All of our doctors are trying, really trying, to become these people they see in their head, the versions of themselves who are strong and successful and happy, their best selves. Izzie wants to be a good doctor and keep the news of Ava confidential. But how does she do that and be a good friend to Alex who is changing his life for this baby that doesn't exist? Alex wants to be a good parent, but he himself didn't have very good role models so he's scared that he won't be able to do it. George is trying to be okay with the fact that he has to repeat his intern year, and Cristina is really trying to make the best of a bad situation with Hahn. And then there's Meredith.
Meredith wants to be a great surgeon. She wants to succeed at this clinical trial. But she keeps thinking about Derek. Particularly his tongue. Thoughts of kissing him keep interfering with the surgeries she loves. So can Dr. Wyatt please give her some tools to make the thoughts stop? Because Meredith feels like she has to choose. Career or love. She can't have both.
I went to see my first therapist in my twenties. She was this nice woman on the Upper East Side of Manhattan who told me, when I started whining about my lack of career, that most people she sees in their twenties are either good at career or good at love. Not both. And it makes sense, both things compete for your attention. You want to spend time with your boyfriend but your boss asks if you can do some overtime. How to negotiate both successfully is hard. And I think when my therapist said it, she was trying to make me feel better, sort of like, "Yeah, you have no career but at least your boyfriend sounds very nice." But it didn't make me feel better. It made me feel competitive. Because when I said, "Really? You never see people with a good career AND a good relationship?", she said, "only a few." Only a few. That's all I could think about after the session. Who were these FEW and how could I become one of THEM? It was a subtle shift in my thinking, but I began to think less about my problems and more about how to fix them. I started to imagine the new me in my head - she was a woman of action! She didn't sit around all day waiting for things to happen! She made them happen! I'm making it all sound very purposeful and dramatic when actually it was ten more years of therapy that included much whining and many more hours of inaction before I had what could even be called a career .... but .... I think that Dr. Wyatt knows that Meredith needs to be pushed into action. So Dr. Wyatt basically tells Meredith she's being a coward. Derek's with Rose and it's not heroic to let the love of your life go. It's cowardly. How's she gonna handle it? Because no one can fix this for Meredith but Meredith. What's she gonna do? I wish I could tell you --
And what about Mark? When Bailey defends him to the assembly of nurses by saying, "You knew he was a whore when you slept with him, now you can't act all shocked when he behaves like a whore." As everyone walks away, did you see the look on Mark's face? It's like he's realizing what a whore he is for the first time and he's so sad. A sad, sad whore. What's he gonna do about that? I soooo wish I could tell you --
I will tell you though that the Mark Sloan story was originally much smaller and much more a comedic runner until we had the read thru and Eric Dane brought such vulnerability and depth to his scenes. We just had to expand that storyline.
And Cristina. Singing "Like a Virgin" while carving corpses. She just found out that Burke won the Harper Avery and s
