can i just say that it was a dirty trick? a dirty, dirty trick, to make us believe that the cross-over grey's-private practice episode was happening this week starting in grey's. but they introduced the whole thing in private practice, so i had no choice but to watch it. (and enjoy it). i PVR-ed it though, so if they're expecting private practice's ratings to go up, my watching it won't contribute. ha, take THAT! but now the big cross-over episode is happening NEXT week? dirty dirty dirty. and mean. and addison better keep her hands off derek or i'll have to hurt her. there, i feel better. now onto grey's...
it was so great to see cristina and meredith as friends again. i love that even though they were fighting, they can go back to normal as if nothing happened - a sign of a strong friendship.
why does derek keep toting the ring around with him? and he wonders why everyone knows. hey derek, maybe you should keep it in your breast pocket and make your patient look at it so she can almost ruin the surprise. yeesh. i did love his comment, "she spooks easy" - so cute! like she's a horse, but in a good way, of course.
when meredith said to derek that they would have cute kids, he was all smiles. she thinks it's him that's freaking out, but it's all her because those words slipped out of her mouth so easily. typical.
the cute couple got engaged in a supermarket where they first met - does this mean derek will propose at JOE'S BAR??? he clearly can't propose to her naked on her living room floor (season 1, episode 1), so joe's bar has to be the most logical option. or maybe he'll create an engagement ring of candles. swoon.
i think the whole proposal storyline will be put on hold because of the addison's-dying-brother storyline. i also think that while meredith has finally let her guard down, she will rebuild it, stronger than ever because:
a) she seems to think derek doesn't want her babies
b) he blew her off for dinner because he was "busy"
c) he's going to go to addison's rescue, so she'll think addison is back in the picture
d) the out-of-place rose petal only confirms her suspicions. that he's cheating on her, in her own house and bed. scandal!
this will prolong the whole thing, which means we are on track to seeing a proposal in the season finale. where derek will finally break down meredith's walls, once and for all.
victorian romance novel...while i get what they were trying to do, having cristina and owen mirror ellis' relationship with the chief - the stolen glances and almost-holding hands (lexie and sloan did that at the beginning in the elevator too?) - it all seemed a bit cheesy. i think it was the slow motion scenes with the musical interludes played on an out-of-tune piano that ruined it for me. seriously, if you could choose between a tuned piano and a non-tuned piano, why pick the non-tuned one?? i suppose in the victorian times they didn't care too much about keeping their pianos tuned, but still. and who is hunt's mystery woman!! is it a former fiancee? why did he freak out like he did? the guys asked hunt if he had ever proposed before, and he said he's not the guy to talk to about that. surrrrrre.
i love that lexie stood up to sloan and gave him the take-it-or-leave-it ultimatum. and i love that sloan wuvs lexie, and wants to tell derek so very badly! but can't. yet. adorable.
so many good lines this week:
-arizona to bailey on being a ped surgeon - "open up her chest and hand her the rest of her life."
-meredith on having derek's babies - "my babies will have alzheimer's. and suicidal tendencies. and split ends."
-dixon to bailey - "you're a very tiny person."
-der to mer on her faulty DNA - "meredith - i want your crappy babies"...i LOVE it!
it's ironic that the thing that make dixon have a panic attack was a hug, and then thing that she needed to calm down was a hug. did you notice, when cristina went over to hug her, she had the typical asian stick arms that didn't move as she walked. hahah!
so cute at the end, when hunt was sleeping on cristina. my cat sleeps on me like that. it's very enjoyable. sometimes it hurts my back but it's worth it. i'm digressing so i'll finish it off with this...
arizona is really good at giving the ranty speeches that the writers like to write. she does thing with her eyes, where she's all shifty-eyed. it kind of makes her look a little crazy but also more real. however. i really don't like that they keep springing lesbians on us, it's worse than watching a low-budget zombie movie. whatever happened to sadie and callie? did the writers feel they didn't chemistry? or is this leading up to a gratuitous lesbian threesome, god help us all? i guess we'll find out...

i have heard that owen's scary woman is his fiancee... which made me think back to his proposal comment too! of course.
now. what do you think about izzie? i think sadie got the blood test mixed up. also... WHAT WAS IN THAT GUY'S BUTT???????
derek should have sponataneously proposed when mer was going on about her bad DNA... but the crappy babies comment was oh so cute! ha ha... split ends.
hmmm.. so much in this episode. i felt cheated about the PP overlap too. those dirty writers!
re: izzie. yes, i thought about sadie getting the test results mixed up but thought that would be lame. they did insinuate that the cross-over episode would happen on grey's and not pp though, so anything's possible. (i'm still bitter).
