Candy Striping Is Soooooooo Much Fun

Written on November 24, 2006 – 9:27 am | by Stacy |

Well, the poo hit the fan last night on Grey’s Anatomy, in what I would say was the least festive episode of the show ever. The events which unfolded were reminiscient of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. It certainly wasn’t last Thanksgiving’s warm & fuzzy “They Call Me PRESTON Burke” show.

Everything went wrong, everyone was betrayed, Izzie couldn’t seem to keep her big mouth shut (which part of Bailey’s instructions are unclear?), Addison & Alex shared a really weird flirtation and Cristina finally came clean on the 3,547 unethical things she and Burke have done since he was cleared for surgery. Funny, I think if the two of them actually robbed a bank, that would still wind up being the least of their problems.

All we needed was Mrs. Chief to show up, hands on hips, exclaiming, “Where’s the turkey, Chuck? Where’s the mashed potatoes?”

And is it just me, or is every woman on that show contractually obligated to have fantastic hair? All we saw of Dr. Hahn last season was her competitive, big mouth and a variety of surgical caps during Iron Surgeon: America (”Welcome to Surgery Stadium! The Chairman has decided today’s secret surgery is…cardiomyopicardoditisectomy!” ) last season then all of a sudden…she has flowing, wavy hair and is spouting off wisdom to Cristina while Blackberrying something back to the mother ship. Huh?

I do have a serious question…for you fellow eagle-eye viewers…when Cristina showed up at Burke’s apartment at the end, before he slammed the door in her face, I saw a framed photo of a blonde on a nightstand…who was that? It kinda…sorta…looked like…Dr. Hahn. That would be perfect - Johns Hopkins arch-rivals by day, bedmates by night.

    I saw it when we watched it last night, definately a blonde woman, but not clear enough (even in glorious HD) to determine WHO. Definitely a strange prop, maybe Burke just leave the store fillers in the frame.

    I didn’t notice the blonde, but Cristina was living there up until that day so I doubt it’s another girlfriend. I had a feeling that Alex and Addison were going to flirt a bit, and I must throw my hat in for Addison having the best hair.
