I loved all the TV I watched tonight.
That includes "Ugly Betty" and "Grey's Anatomy." I thoroughly concur with DR MattH's assessment that this was the best episode in a LONG time. It was full of pith and promise and potential. I especially loved George's wife, getting the fuzzy end of the lollipop from a thoroughly misguided chief of surgery, begging George NOT to say what she knows he's going to say. And then George agrees not to say it. And probably no one in America/Canada or anywhere else, for that matter, watching this episode wanted him to say it.
That said, I'm still so thoroughly OVER Meredith Grey and her self-serving pity parties. She makes it seem so plausible that she has no "link" to Lexi because her father deserted her. But it was NEVER about her....it was her ball-busting mother, her weak father and life, in general, that deprived her of her father. It was not Lexi...it was never Lexi....and Meredith is going to have to get over her bitchy selfishness and consider the fact that she has a blood relative who wanted to connect with her. I despise the character.
I was very disappointed in McDreamy breaking down and keeping his appointment with Meredith.
I LOVED Christina's "wedding present trade-offs-for-favors" tactic.
i DO wish she would have told Burke's mother EXACTLY what her son could do with himself.
