Tonight's episode of "Grey's Anatomy" featured Arizona's first day back at work. Her hard, post-amputation ice shell has seemingly melted and she's back working side by side with Karev.
To try and make her more comfortable, Karev pays off kid patients not to mention Arizona's leg. Ha! She does wind up losing her balance and falling over post-surgery, but she laughs it off and even lets Karev help her back up. I'm so glad the old Arizona is back!
On a side note, I loved how everything the intern pushed around for Arizona as back up (the wheelchair, the stool) always squeaked as it rolled across the floor. Genius touch.
This hour Bailey is taking calls from Ben who is dreaming of a Christmas themed wedding. There are some very cute exchanges between her and the Chief and her and Cristina as she tries to come around to the idea.
Bailey's patient this week was a man in need of a liver transplant. During the surgery his body began to reject the new organ. Post-surgery Bailey breaks the news to her patient and his partner that he only has one week to live. The intern begins to cry. Then I begin to cry. And of course, Grey's plays this music that makes you feel like your heart is being ripped out of your chest.
Onto Owen and Cristina. At the start of the episode Owen says to her, "We want different things. We don't work. Nothing has changed." Ouch. Later on Cristina admits to Meredith that she wants Owen back. Remember when they first kissed over the vent? I think it could be like that again.
Sadly, at the close of the episode Cristina tries to muster the strength to tell Owen how she feels and he cuts her off and says, "I think we should get a divorce." Now of course Cristina doesn't know what Owen has figured out about the hospital and the law suit, but still. That stings.
The biggest story line of the night was that Dr. Kepner thought she was pregnant. She was four days late and assumed she must be. In the heat of their anticipation, Jackson proclaims, "I'm in! Let's do this. Let's get married, raise this kid and be awesome parents." Right after he said that I thought to myself, "Will he take that all back when he finds out she's not pregnant?" Turns out I was right about that reaction, but not the person who had it. Dr. Kepner wound up being the person relieved and vocal about it.
Just when I thought the pregnancy story line was over - no! Meredith is expecting! I did not see that coming. After all Meredith and Derek have been through, I sincerely hope this works out for them. I'm not sure I can handle any more tragedy.
