Budget cuts abound and stress levels are through the roof for our favorite residents, interns and attendings at Seattle Grace. All of the main characters retained their jobs (obviously), but not without some major bumps, bruises and drama along the way.

Does anyone know the music played on tonights episode?

loved the episode - very good, it went in depth with the relationships of couples such as Alex and Izzie. So sweet, both of them.
Next week will DEFINITELY be good. Meredith and Lexie already look good in the promo alone. I smell an Emmy.

It was good. Light.
Cristina in peds? HILARIOUS. The chocolate pudding? Totally Cristina. Although I couldn't believe that Arizona is that naive towards knowing how residents are. Really? I liked her but I had to roll my eyes to her in that.
Lexie is paranoid. Fact. Even worse than that poor schizophrenic kid. Although I understand her crying at the end.
Alex and Izzie? Eh. Alex has a point though. Maybe they should move Izzie to the clinic for some time?
Little MerDer but at least it was cute. Loved the baseball game. I think Owen was speaking to everyone to calm down about the merger.
Chief vs. Derek? The Chief couldn't even face the people he 'knows' after being cut. Honestly, what a coward. I say Round 1 goes to Derek. Nice enough to say goodbye and offer job recommendations. I say put him instead of the Chief.
Next week looks interesting. If it were me, I'd give nothing to Thatcher but I think Mer will do it. Honestly, can't wait.

Also, was my DVR or did the show went longer? I ask because I am recording PP too and a lot of the portion of the episode is in the PP hour.
Did this only happened to me?

It ran like a minute over ten o'clock so maybe thats what through your DVR off.... Loved Mer/Der interaction even though it wasn't much! Since last year Lexie's character has completely grown on me and I actually like her; I love her and Sloan together. They had a few cute scenes tonight! I do feel bad for all the residents cut. Anufulus; I think Owen was speaking to everyone too.
I have a question; now I've been following Grey's a long time now; but did they jump or is it just me? Like Mark said best second year resident. Does that make Merdith,Cristina,Alex and Izzie year six? All in all I though pretty good episode!

Ohhh and I forgot to say; even though like Derek I don't think Meredith owes Thatcher ANNNNNYTHING I think she'll do it anyway

This episode was amazing. I agree, I doubted this season after seeing the premiere, but now I know I'm gonna love it.
Glad to see we didn't lose much MerDer, and we still see Mer in the episodes.
I loved Alex with Izzie. He was so sweet making sure she was taking her medicine.
Cristina in peds was funny. I loved when she made Mr. Bear "talk".
The Chief drove me crazy. I think he's being childish.
Great acting by Chyler Leigh. I understand her crying at the end. I think Lexie's finally starting to grow on me. I didnt like her for so long.
I LOVED the ending.
Next week looks good :) so suspenseful with all the cuts! I'm curious as to who's next.
Also, the Private Practice premiere was amazing. Had me in tears at the end. Shonda Rhimes really is a god.

MerDerLover101,
No, Mer, Alex, and Cristina are third year residents now. I'm not sure about Izzie since she missed quite a good portion of her training due to the cancer.
As for I assume is that S1, S2, and S3 is one year (they'll interns), S4 and S5 is another year.
It had the 1:01 in the DVR but...ugh, technology can be a bitch sometimes. Off to watch PP now.
Oh, and word about Derek. She doesn't owe him ANYTHING.

After the premier, I was really worried about this season; not because it wasn't good, but because of all the commercials! I was starting to get worried the show was getting shorter and shorter... it used be over 45 minutes! Tonight left me relieved; only 5 or 6 commercial breaks (which is still a lot, but better than the premier). Yay!
