Bank of Arizona

Invest in Love - The Chief's wildest dreams come true when a couple, impressed with Arizona's treatment of their son, gives the hospital $25 million dollars. And because he has lost his last shred of humanity, he then pushes Arizona into doing a very ill-advised surgery on the boy because of it. Way to lead, Chief.

Death by Teamwork

I 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. Seriously -- if the ambulance tries to take you to this hospital, just grab the steering wheel if you must and ride like the wind in the opposite direction.

Goodbye - There's merging going on everywhere -- Derek and Meredith are merging in every conceivable location, Hunt and Cristina go to therapy so that they can do some merging of their own, and then it's announced that Mercy West and Seattle Grace will be merging together as well. Thank goodness, because these doctors were really running out of new people to, well, merge with at Seattle Grace alone.

Hi, Addison. We've been waiting for you…

Welcome to Tonight's Question and Non-Answer Session

Save 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" tumor

If Tomorrow Never Comes - Especially if by "little" you mean, "bigger than South Dakota." A poor woman with a tumor gets admitted to the hospital and teaches Alex a lesson in microphones. George pretends he doesn't have a thing for Meredith and then pretends not to ask her out. He is unsuccessful in both attempts. Izzie's running ragged, Burke wants to define his relationship with Cristina, and Bailey hates everyone. I think that pretty much sums it up.

Adulthood Has Its Perks

Young Doctors in Lust

A Hard Day's Night - It's the first episode of the first season, and we get to meet all the sexy interns and their even sexier bosses. 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.
