Fantastic news: We won't have to wait until March 29 to see how the whole George-Izzie hook-up debacle and everything else from "Scars and Souvenirs" plays out.
Grey's Anatomy returns with a new episode this Thursday, "My Favorite Mistake," instead of the originally-scheduled repeat.
Why the change? Apparently, ABC was encouraged by the opening-week numbers of October Road following Grey's Anatomy last Thursday, and didn't want to lose any of that momentum going into its second episode.
With the possible exception of American Idol, there's certainly no greater momentum source on TV right now than an original episode of Grey's Anatomy.
Whether one can actually stomach October Road is another story.
But hey, if it means an all-new Grey's Anatomy instead of a rerun, we're all for it, right? Sure. Just go with it.
In "My Favorite Mistake," Callie's father (Hector Elizondo) visits Seattle Grace and meets George, who's in no shape for an introduction. Meanwhile, the candidates for the Chief's position are interviewed, including Colin Marlow (Roger Rees). Alex continues to help Jane Doe (Elizabeth Reaser) find her place in the world, and George and Izzie... well...
Check out this brief preview:
As usual, we'll have our episode recap, music guide, list of quotes and image gallery from Thursday night up after the show. Can't wait!

McSeriously!... I don't think they are in the spinoff until the last 2 episodes of the season.
But, now 4 words:
Oh My God, Seriously!

that picture of George and Izzie is ADORABLE and I'm SO glad they decided to play a new episode this week instead of a stupid rerun.
But I have to comment on what you said about October Road...
"Whether one can actually stomach October Road is another story."
Seriously?!?! Are you kidding me, I thought that the first episode was excellent, and I can't believe Laura Prepon from That 70's Show is on it, it makes it all the better. And Bryan Greenberg is SUCH a hunk, hotter than "McDreamy" I might add, even though "McDreamy" isn't all that hot anyway...
Don't get me wrong I am by far THE BIGGEST fan of Grey's Anatomy I'm completely in LOVE with it and I have the seasons on DVD, and I TiVo all of the new episodes so I can watch them again. But I just have to say that October Road is pretty good too, and it's nice to have a good show to watch after Grey's Anatomy, even though no show can top it.

OMGOSH.
Sloan hasn't had sex in EIGHT days.
And he's jumping rope.
Looking manly.
Looking very, very oh-so-manly.
I think I gained respect for him after that Derek moment. And that respect gained was a good thing.
Oh-so-manly.
And what's Derek-hunny-bunny [aka McDreamy] say /asks about Meredith's Theory?
And when are we gonna have at least ONE kind-of-light-sex-scene with Derek and Meredith?
QUESTIONS!!!!!

That's TOMORROW teh episode YUSSSSS.
And I can't wait to see what happens. Callie's Dad. Callie. George. Izzie.
....Something tells me it's going to end up in everyone realizing it was a misunderstanding and going on with their lives. George is still gonna be kicked out though 'cause Dr.Torres' is tough like that. Grawr.

omggg. Can't wait! I seriously think I am addicted to this show.. now joke. But I'm so mad because my birthday is in 2 weeks (on a Thursday) and I thought there was going to be a new episode of Grey's and my friends were going to come over to see it... darn reruns!!
But anyways.. I really hope something evolves of this George/Izzie (I hate the Gizzie thing.. it's no MerDer) thing. I just want to see Izzie happy for once.. but I wonder if she will try to cover it up like they never had sex.. since George doesn't seem to remember. But he could just be faking because he doesn't want anything like his Meredith thing. you know?
Oh and.. I totally agree with you, Bright&Shiny:). I watched October Road, and it's no Grey's.. but it looks wicked good. I wonder if the little boy is Nick's. omgg how dramatic would that be?!
