Grey's Anatomy: Be Excellent

Last night ABC aired the first ever episode of Grey's Anatomy in the 8:00pm slot, just before the new episode (Scandal is apparently on hiatus this week). Did anyone watch it?

The new episode was titled "Crazy Love" which was completely appropriate. We've seen a lot of crazy patient stories over the years, but a severed penis? Really, Shonda?

In the primary patient case a chef (Thomas) comes in with his sous chef and she's carrying a restaurant takeout bag with his penis in it. Apparently, his wife (Marsha) chopped it off when she discovered he was sleeping with the sous chef.

Edwards helps prep for surgery and delivers the penis to Dr. Avery. He commends he great prep work and she replies, "It wasn't hard. I mean, it's not a big thing. It was easy, I was just in and out." Ha! She couldn't recover. Innuendo overload.

After the chef has been successfully reattached to his member, his wife arrives. Apparently they had a deal. Waitresses and hostesses are ok, but nothing more. Good lord.

In another OR, Callie and Amelia are doing spinal surgery on a teenage golf prodigy. The actress who played the golfer's mother looked so familiar but I couldn't quite place her.

Callie and Amelia screw up during surgery and the young woman won't be able to play golf again. Upon hearing the news, her mother reprimands them and says, "My daughter was excellent. You were supposed to be too."

In the love department, Amelia and Owen seem to be getting along great and having sleepovers. Meredith questions Amelia's intentions and asks her, "How well are you getting to know each other? Pants on or pants off well?" Ha!

Things seems to be going swimmingly until Amelia flubs the golfer's surgery and has a melt down. She tells Owen, "this was a mistake." He doesn't even verbally respond, he just turns on his heels and leaves. I have never been a fan of this story line or love connection, so I personally don't care at all if this gets resolved.

Across the hospital, Pierce is trying to figure out what went wrong on her date with the radiologist. After some adorable advice from Alex, she confronts him. Turns out, she talked the entire date and then she paid!

After thinking on it, Pierce sheepishly goes back to him and apologies. She admits that at work she "brings the thunder" and she did the same on their date to mask her nerves. In the cutest moment of the whole episode, the radiologist says to her, "Next time, I'll bring the thunder." Awwww!

In the final scene of the episode, Meredith takes a phone call intended for Derek. Apparently he flew back to D.C. but missed his meeting at the White House. In previews for next week, they dramatically asked the question, "Where. Is. Derek?"

What do you think? Did Derek make it to D.C.? Did he never get on the plane? Did his plane crash?
