“Desire,” aired April 26, 2007

Wow, so after a somewhat slow start, a lot actually happened in this episode, most of it in the last five minutes. Prepare for romance drama, penis fish and wedding cake — a lot of wedding cake.

Meredith
Yeah, so Meredith tried to be cute with the “I’m communicating” thing with Derek, but it was kind of annoying, even for the people who weren’t basically denied the chief position because they were sleeping with her. Despite this, she was just trying to give Derek what she thought he wanted. Poor girl was completely blindsided. Back to square one in the love department? Don’t sleep with George again, he has enough women to deal with at the moment.

Derek
Cliché of the day? Making mountains out of molehills. I absolutely cannot believe that Derek is still caught up on the whole Meredith drowning/giving up trying to swim thing. Though, this is probably not the real reason Derek threw a hissy fit. Self-sabotage is the name of this very overdone game. McSteamy called it. “Something’s always wrong between you and Derek,” he tells Meredith, while she adamantly states that everything is fine in her relationship with McDreamy. You have your girl, McDreamy, hold on to her for once. I mean she actually told McSteamy “no” when he asked her to have sex with him (she stands alone in this category).

Chief Webber
The Chairman of Seattle Grace tries to “browbeat” Webber to keep the chief position. He tells Webber that when he appointed him as the Chief of Surgery, he was “the man,” but now he’s just a politician — says the man with the FISH in his penis (only Grey’s….). But at the end of the episode, Bailey pointed out the obvious by saying he doesn’t really look like he wants to give up the job quite yet.

George
Things are a little awkward between Izzie and George, despite their efforts to keep their friendship normal. Hand-feeding Izzie a piece of Cristina and Burke’s test wedding cake while Callie watches on probably doesn’t help very much. Not to mention the fact that they had sex. So what does he do when Izzie tries to distance herself? Transfers to Mercy West!? A little dramatic? Not surprising.

Izzie
After Callie confronted her, rather emotionally, in the elevator about letting her have a chance to get to know her husband, Izzie tells George that he’s her “penis fish.” She says that he’s “climbed in and latched on.” It’s nice to see that Izzie wants the relationship between George and Callie to work out (I think), but it probably won’t. I wish they mentioned Izzie’s daughter again, is she still in the hospital? Why don’t the other interns know yet?

Addison
After furiously ripping into Alex about “having another Denny Duket situation” on her hands and spending too much time with Ava, she then decides to furiously rip off Alex’s clothes in the middle of the hallway! I guess it was a good thing the on-call room was right there. I kind of feel bad for McSteamy. She demanded he give up sex for 60 days if he wanted to get her back, so in turn, she sleeps with her intern. Hmmm….sleeping with an intern, not very original.

Alex
Jane Doe (who will now be referred to as Ava, the name of her plastic surgery alter-ego) has made her way back on my good side. She too has become addicted to the drama at Seattle Grace. “I’m five feet from the nurse’s station and I have excellent hearing. It’s like watching a soap!” Yes Ava, it is like watching a soap; especially when the intern who takes care of you sleeps with his attending and then shuts her down, completely. Ouch.

Burke
Flashback to an old episode of Bridezillas, Burke would probably fit right in with the hysteria. Sure, he wants Cristina to participate in the wedding but he knew who he was marrying. Does he really expect Cristina to forgo studying for the intern exams to taste 20 different kinds of cake? It’s kind of sweet how into the wedding he is, but this can’t end well.

Cristina
Completely not interested in cake-tasting with Burke, the only interest Cristina displays in her wedding is using it to persuade Callie into giving her the “world-famous flash cards” to help study for the intern exam. Though getting frisky with Burke on top of the flashcards probably won’t help her remember what’s on them.

McMoron of the week? Definitely McDreamy.
