Seth Green.... your neck just blew up!

Usually Grey's Anatomy delivers a pretty solid episode when it really counts. Such was the case with the Thanksgiving episode this year. After the cop out that was last year's ferry crash, I wasn't expecting much. I am finding that the less time spent on the George/Izzie relationship, the more likely I am to completely love the episode.

I knew Alex was bound to get caught. I certainly didn't think Lexie would find out about Eva by meeting her while viewing a surgery. Not smart, Karev... not smart at all.

Something about Meredith wasn't so easy to hate this episode either. Perhaps it was the fact that she seemed to actually have an emotional connection with someone (in this case, the paramedics). It's not something that happens too often, but perhaps it's an attempt to make her more endearing to the fans once again so that they have something to root for.

I don't know that I will ever spend any time or energy hoping for the perfect lovey dovey world of MerDer. I'm much more concerned with finding Dr. Torres a nice man who isn't a dirty philanderer like George or Sloane.

And was I the only one who found it strange that Lexie basically referred to Alex as her boyfriend? If there's one thing we all know about Karev, it's that the label "boyfriend" is one that will likely NEVER apply to him. But good try, hun.
