A variety of gut-wrenching sick-kid stories made some doctors feel the love while others found themselves fighting the system and each other in an episode that constantly zigzagged between funny and heartbreaking and had its fill of “Oh My Grey’s” moments. –Carrie Bell
Alex: After finding out Izzie left him with $200,000 of unpaid medical bills, Alex threw himself into the care of a premature stroke baby. Reed, who overheard the bill discussion, turned up the charm. The hardened Alex we used to know (but not love) reared his ugly head, telling her to “get out of [his] face.” When the baby’s fate seemed sealed, his tenderness reappeared and he held her and assured her she wasn’t alone. His technique, the kangaroo hold, kick started her system. Bailey explained it often worked better with skin-to-skin contact, so he spent the rest of the episode shirtless, earning flak from the McDoctors and appreciation from Reed (and Justin Chambers fans). After he spent the night cuddling, Bailey suggested he specialize in pediatrics. (more…)
When Derek is asked by a beloved co-worker to operate on the great white of tumors — an inoperable mass tangled around the spinal cord and tapped into the blood stream — he must overcome his nerves, deceive his boss and achieve the impossible. While it was mostly Der’s moment to shine, his fellow docs pitched in, proving once again that there’s no ‘I’ in team. –Carrie Bell
The Grey’s Anatomy cast is whole again! New moms Ellen Pompeo and Katherine Heigl returned to work on the show this week, PEOPLE has learned.
It was a dark and stormy night at Seattle Grace and the ER was slammed with mass casualties from a hotel fire. After a patient with minimal injuries died, the Chief gathered the doctors, heard their sides of the story and fired the person responsible for the fatal error. The multiple-perspective whodunit tale probably gave the continuity person an ulcer, but the storytelling style was a fresh device for the hospital drama, a treat for fans and good material to court an Emmy next fall. If you were watching closely, you probably caught the clue in the beginning. However it didn’t take an astute viewing to enjoy this week’s OMG moments. –Carrie Bell
The Mercy West invasion began Thursday on Grey’s Anatomy and it’s safe to say that the Seattle Gracers did not put out the welcome mat. The transfers didn’t exactly bring a hostess gift either. The competition was fierce, the backstabbing brutal and the episode intense, satisfying and full of OMG moments.
As the doctors of Seattle Grace continued to grapple with the impending merger and cuts on the horizon, the fight to scrub in to surgery grew more and more competitive. But when Thatcher Grey returned to the hospital with a dismal diagnosis, the residents stood by each other, giving Thursday’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy its best moments.
Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) had her fair share of family drama in Private Practice’s previous season when her brother Archer (played by Grant Show) turned up with a life-threatening illness.
Still reeling from the Chief’s announcement about the merger last week, the entire staff of Seattle Grace doesn’t feel safe and is going to great, and often misguided, lengths to secure jobs. Their misfortune is a treasure chest of quality OMG moments for fans.
Grey’s Anatomy kicked off season 6 with a two-hour episode that picked up where the finale’s
