While fans gather in our forum to discuss each character, couple and plot twist, the Grey's Anatomy Insider staff comes together to talk about the key moments and share their opinions regarding the latest episode of our favorite drama.
Round Table topics for "Crash Into Me, Part II" include the future of Derek and Rose, Alex's love interests, and our favorite funny and gross moments ...
1. So Rose can apparently fix computers. What other surprise talents will this versatile nurse unveil next?
McCritic: She can go an entire hour without making everything about herself. It's a talent Derek's other love interest is yet to master.
iheartizzie: No idea. But Mer-Der lovers who inherently dislike Rose may be amused to learn that the mascot of UC-Santa Cruz is - seriously - the banana slug.
AndYouveGotTheHair: The way this is headed, there will be another code black and Rose will save the day by dismantling an explosive or disarming a crazed gunman.
2. Tougher loss to stomach: Nick's blood, or Bailey's marriage?
iheartizzie: The former. Seriously, that was the goriest episode of all-time. Seth Green pretty much bled to death over the course of an hour. Perhaps a little overkill - for a second I thought Lexie Grey changed into red scrubs.
McCritic: Miranda Bailey deserves better than someone who can't understand her obligations as a surgeon. She'll be better off in the end. But Nick, sadly, will never be better off again after losing so much blood.
AndYouveGotTheHair: They were both hard to watch for different reasons. I couldn't help but notice the great guest star performances from both Nick and Tucker (Cress Williams), as well as Ava (Elizabeth Reaser) and of course Rose. Despite how gross it was at times, this was a powerful episode.
3. Best quote directed at Dr. Hahn: Meredith telling her to zip it, or Mark not promising anything when it comes to hitting on her?
AndYouveGotTheHair: Meredith! Hahn had that coming and it was great to see our girl stand up to her ... as well as for herself at the end. Hope it's enough!
McCritic: Mark. I also loved his response to Hahn's request to get A drink. He seemed to be focused on more than one libation: "Sure, let's drink."
iheartizzie: Mark. The serious expression on Dr. Sloan's face as he says he's not gonna guarantee that was priceless. And how could he? That would be like George swearing off bumbling or Alex promising he won't look hot in that wife-beater.
4. What's next for George and Izzie after their talk?
McCritic: Admiring the realism of MTV's The Hills. Supporting the Iraq war. Watching soccer. After admitting they love each other, but blaming "timing" as the reason they couldn't be together, I figure they'll continue to do things that don't make any sense.
iheartizzie: I think they're going to cool it and try to rediscover their bond as friends before taking it to the next level. He may genuinely love Izzie, but George was smart to put the brakes on. He is, presumably, still married to Callie.
AndYouveGotTheHair: What was that? Did they break up or just take a step back? I don't know what to think about Gizzie anymore. I love them together a lot but some of these twists seem unrealistic (as Katherine Heigl herself said).
5. How much did you want to join that dance party?
McCritic: Enough for me to head to the local arcade and spend half the night playing Dance Dance Revolution.
iheartizzie: Should I be proud or embarrassed to admit that Mrs. iheartizzie and I actually did join in with our own dance party in our living room at the end?
AndYouveGotTheHair: So much. What a great scene, although it would have been better had Callie made a surprise appearance ... in only her underwear.

I actually really loved George and Izzie at the end of the episode. It was the first time that their relationship was about more than sex. I don't know if they'll keep "dating" or just be friends for the time being. Personally, I'll be happy with either. (loved everybody dancing at the end. that was adorable!)

Loved the dancing at the end. This season needs more dancing with Mer, Christina, and co! Also thought it was great when Meredith asked Lexi if she was drinking. Just like a big sister.

A totally shattering episode, and very realistic. I had a patient years ago who ruptured her carotid twice; there was about that much blood, and, like Nick, she didn't survive the second rupture. You just don't expect things like that to happen.
I wanted to smack Tucker and say, "GROW UP!" What did he think he was getting into when he married Bailey?
I couldn't tell from Derek's eyes whether or not Meredith was too late. I'm just not sure I trust him after watching him coming on to and kissing Nurse Rose. I really wish they'd bring McVet back.
Good ending. I loved the dance party and Meredith's acceptance of her sister--maybe not permanently, but at least for now. Cristina showed a surprising and welcome humanity in bringing her along and for what she said to her at the hospital.
Gizzie--I'm hoping they are going to fall back and resume their friendship. I just can't see George going back to Callie.
The writers have gotten back their stride; this season (except for the first episode) has been as good as season one. Here's hoping they can keep it up when they come back to work.

what the heck happened with ava and alex?!?!?!
December 7th, 2007 6:21 PM
Kathy,
I dont trust derek either, in fact i really feel betrayed by what he has done and i dont think that is the end of it. if he really is that kind of person, then i think mer will be better off without him. However, its highly unlikely that Mcvet will be back.

george and izzie were amazing as a couple!! i love them together and i will always be a gizzie shipper. i was so devastated when they broke up at the end!!! it was so hard on me, cause i didn't really believe the reason they couldn't be together! they are perfect as a couple. and the storyline is confusing. what do they mean by their speech on the bed?? george was so romantic and sweet to izzie then, and i love them ever more after the dancing!!! :) i can't see how they can survive without being together after this??! they need each other and clearly LOVE each other as they said!! But whats this stupid Bad timing crap....the writers better pull it together. and i don't really see how gizzie couldn't work out??! after the last scene i was sure they could work out anything together!!! Gizzie rocks...and still my fav couple. Hope they are still a couple in due time...."someday" must be NOW!!

i actually never saw derek kiss rose...i shut my eyes and only heard the putrid noise of the kissing. ew he is not allowed to kiss anyone except mer or adddieeeeee. ewww. i felt sick after that. im pissed. but i guess when mer and der get back together it will only be sweeter. how bout some prom sex again?
i want george and izzie together. but its all good if they wait. and hopefully and ava figure something out. and the only one i wanted to live was seth green yet he was the only one to die. i kinda wanted a denny/izzie love connection thingy to go on with him and lexi. anyways. ya

i like the part when meredith asked lexie if she was drinking..blood is still thicker than water.
i hope meredith will moved on without derek..after the kissed it looks like derek and rose going to have a relationship in the future episodes...i have u derek!
i missed izzie and george friendship..they are better off as friends/ best friends.
christina - good humanitarian effort by bringing lexie @ mer's house.i hope this is the start of bonding between 2 sisters.
great episode !

I am so devastated about Gizzie, seems like Shonda bowed to the haters. hello Shonda there are an awful lot of Gizzie fans out there, as much as haters or maybe more and you just pissed them all off, very very bad mistake.

I don't know if I am being too hopeful, but I hope she is breaking up Gizzie so they can start again later on the right foot without the affair. It is so clear to me just how totally in love they are, and this dance at the end showed george was right, it was not the chemistry but the timing.
I love them as friends, but I love them as lovers as well, and they can be both. Watching them dance and look at each other with so much love made me more convinced than ever they belong together.
