Death by TeamworkI Saw What I Saw - The unprofessionalism, jealousy, rivalry and selfishness of all the doctors reaches a fever pitch this week and ultimately causes the totally avoidable death of a patient.

Welcome to Tonight's Question and Non-Answer SessionSave Me - Meredith has lots of questions for Derek. Unfortunately, Derek's not really into that whole "answering" thing. George finally gets up the nerve to intubate a patient AND ask out the hot nurse with the dirty little secret we don't know about yet. Izzie treats a patient who claims to be a psychic, and Izzie hates psychics because they remind her of trailer parks. Cristina schedules a termination and has to spend the entire episode dealing with a pregnant cancer patient who has to choose whether or not to terminate her own pregnancy. |

Life is hard. Let's go get a slushie.The Self Destruct Button - This episode seems to be all about how, if life is so hard, why do we make it harder on ourselves? This is illustrated by how Meredith keeps sleeping with Derek, even though it turns some of her Medicine Crüe mates against her, and how an already thin girl has illegal Mexican gastric bypass surgery just to please her mother. I know. Illuminating, right? |

There's no such thing as a "little" tumorIf Tomorrow Never Comes - Especially if by "little" you mean, "bigger than South Dakota."

The patients du jour are a mouthy teen pageant entrant with seizures and a guy with a bad ticker. But they're not nearly as important as the fact that Meredith "McDrunky" Grey, the heroine of the piece, has made the fatal mistake of banging her boss whom we all will come to call...McDreamy. Sigh. |
