Thursday night's episode of Grey's Anatomy saw 12 doctors saying they saw 12 different things in a scene reminiscent of ER. But it was one mistake early on that led to a fatal chain of events for a patient and landed a doctor out on the street in search of a new job.
April blew it. A routine check of a patient's throat would have revealed unhealthy carbon monoxide levels early and saved her, but the room was chaotic and she dropped the ball.
Still, it was just a mistake, and as Derek said, perhaps the blame should be placed on the man who can't get the hospital under control or on the same page. Harsh, but true.
For the complete rundown of the episode, which employed a very different story-telling method than any we've seen so far, check out our episode recap of "I Saw What I Saw."
Within the episode main page you will see links to Grey's Anatomy quotes, music, photos and videos, which we're working on compiling. These are available for every episode!

In charge of revamping Seattle Grace and merging Mercy West with it, Chief Richard Webber wants answers. The problem is he's getting too many - and he's not looking in the mirror.

I think the whole show sucked. It wss quite a let down. I think whoever wrote that episode should be fired along with the 3 new actors. The merger should have never happen. That was to many new people at one time. There has been to much confussion adding these new people. Take down the freaking MWH and SGH sign and put back up the SGH sign. And fire them damn people or send them to Izzy's Clinic. Izzy hasn't been in the clinic for ages. Is it even still there?

Nice picture of Derek's butt.

Terrible episode. It just didn't work. And firing the girl from Everwood after 2 episodes? Too much medical mumbo jumbo and not enough people interaction. ( I get sad if I have to go a week without a good CalliZona moment.)

Why I didn’t like this episode? I could say simply because it hasn’t Meredith and Derek enough. But truly? It wasn’t this.
The problem is: A patient die and we need an interrogation process to know why?
1 – Karev worked with Owen in 5x20 and he was in charge of the ER that day. George reported to him. 5x22 Callie was in charge and Owen said to George that trauma is a team sport. He could save the patient’s life because he had George to cover for him. Today no one was in charge. And still there’s no chief resident.
2 - I wasn’t surprised. I’ve seen a lot from ER and all GA to know better about how critical is to missing something in the initial patient examination. I saw April miss it. So no mystery.
3 – April did the firsts charts notes. Her name was at the chart first. It was her patient initially. Richard asked to Owen “Who got the chart first?”but he should just look at the chart and see it was April. Didn’t need to ask.
4 – Between the scene where Derek called “time of dead” and the hallway scene, Owen should’ve come to the ER look at the chart and realize what killed the patient. He would ask himself why her lungs collapsed in the first place and then realize. Something should’ve been missed from the initial examination. He’s too good to not know. And so is Richard. They would’ve call April and asked about it directly. Don’t need and interrogation to figure out “why the patient die?” The interrogation should have figure out “why April missed it?” But just that.
5 - April made a mistake. Richard’s system is chaos. But Owen is the head of the ER. And he is too professional to left the ER without knowing how chaotic it was. Owen knows a lot about chaos to don’t have under control. He simply wouldn’t do like this.
I’m sorry but all the plot lost sense. It was fun, good interaction but too naive.
Good to see how Arizona is a good man in the storm.
Please Mark, bring the beard back! Sweet scene with Lexie.
Great to see how Derek is still Richard’s friend besides all Richard has done.
But even an exhausted Derek would have kissed Meredith. So please more MerDer scenes!

Mari you are absolutely correct in all your listed points. The episode had a different feel and was very focused in the er. And more time has passed.

There's normally a point when GA stops showing new episodes, cos of the filming schedules. Will there be a break after episode 7?
Bailey and Derek were very low profile this episode, preparing for Patrick's big episode and Chandra's directorial debut I guess

I was very disappointed by the lack of attendings in this episode, and really No Callie/Arizona together scenes, I guess last week was too much for people so they went back to the old ways.

Best episode for me! i was fed up with the same stories between the characters, thanks God so many action! i thought that in this season we'll see the characters having sex in the operation room while operating, but it seems it's a little bit more medical, and i like it. Just my opinion!.
