Personally? Loved this episode. I laughed and I cried. It was totally awesome, because Grey's hasn't made me do both in a long, long time. Keep in mind, I don't cry often. But, this, this made me cry. I laugh during nearly every episode of Grey's. But it takes a bit more to make me cry. Loved the whole 'plans' theme they had going on throughout the episode. Sometimes, things just don't turn out as you planned... 3.19 My Favorite Mistake Yo soy Doc! (Si, hablo espanol. xD)

3.19 My Favorite Mistake
Yo soy Doc! (Si, hablo espanol! xD)

Important Points:

The Interns:
-Ah, the morning after. I was particularly amused with how the voice over at the very beginning was directly talking of Izzie having a plan of sneaking out of the room before George woke up. It was sort of odd to see Izzie visibly flinch when George moved, though. Such a different reaction than it would normally be.

-The intern house. So much hustle and bustle and confusion and you know I just loved it? Izzie managed to escape her room without anyone noticing, but sure enough Meredith comes in after her with Cristina in tail. The conversation that followed was hilarious. Meredith suggested that Izzie and George were 'going at it' and Cristina adding that she didn't need to hear George's version of Sexy Back at 3 a.m. Priceless mornings there.

- Izzie's repetitive mumbling was amusing, too. At least she had an excuse (other than sleeping with her best friend). They all figured she's just hung over. If you look closely when Alex and the other two are talking, you see Izzie literally chucking back a bottle of asprin. That made me chuckle. It's the little things, you know?

- Also liked Cristina's 'Be kind, rewind' strategy. Wonderful name. So creative.

- 'Is that George? You said he was upstairs puking!' "So now he's downstairs puking." That was a nice exchange. And, when Izzie talks to George in the hallway, and he's completely hung over and doesn't remember a thing, you see this weird flash of emotion through her eyes. First, there's the distinct 'Thank God' look. And then there's...something else. I don't know what to call it, but generally when you have sex with someone (many times) you'd at least like to be remembered.

- Okay, I don't know why, but the entire Callie/George exchange in the intern locker room was simply hilarious. It had me laughing so hard. First of all, George is telling her how nice she looks and then she's telling him her father is coming. And he says how much parents like him. And she just tells him to take a shower.

- And Izzie's bursting in was a nice touch. 'Hey, O'Malleys! Go do your marraige things! Yay!' Very Izzie. Just a tad bit too perky to be, ah, normal.

- When Jane Doe, ah, Ava now, asked Alex just how this reconstructive surgery on her face was going to work, it was so...not Alex to pause in the middle and only go on when she told him she could take it. And then he continues with, 'He'll literally rip your face off'. Okay. Very Alex there.

- The Chief asking Meredith how she was doing was an 'awe' moment. It's like he's trying to keep a promise to Ellis by taking care of her daughter. So cute. And, Mark picked her to do a bone graft. Nice job, Grey.

- Izzie was just so flustered. But I found it hilarious. When Callie stopped Bailey and the interns and says she needs to talk to 'you', Izzie jumps the gun and thinks Callie means her personally. I loved the babbling, rambling 'Oh! Us as in all of us!' thing. Again, very Izzie.

- I loved how all Izzie wanted to do was get away from George (and Callie), and Bailey ends up assigning her to the O'Malleys' case anyway. Typical.

- Cristina taking Burke coffee and telling him 'this is what we do' was such a cute scene. And yet, Burke says they don't do that anymore and he wants to move forward. He has no interest in going back to the way things were. So much for the 'be kind, rewind' strategy.

- Izzie went to Addison for advice about what to do about the George situation. Addison was talking about dollhouses, and Izzie just bursts in about having sex with the wrong person. Addison's line there was priceless. Something about being the go-to person for adultery. Also loved how Izzie was trying to pin it like God made it feel so right because it was right, and Addison says 'God wants you to be an adulterer?' So funny.

- Cristina/Marlowe interaction is just so good. I don't know what it is about it, whether it's the British accent or just the fun of picturing Cristina with him that makes me love it, but when she told him off I cheered. Back off, Colin. And take your ten year plan with you.

- Jane Doe trying to pick a face, and the conflict with picking the wrong one was heartbreaking. And then, you have Alex, who says 'Yeah, that would suck but this is what you're gonna look like if you don't pick one!' Harsh, but true. And so Alex.

- I loved, loved the scene with George in the CT room, telling Mrs. Anderson to be still and she says 'I think I can handle that, Dr. O'Malley.' And it takes him a few seconds to process it, and he says 'Sorry about that Mrs. Anderson.' Classic George move, hungover or not.

- Also in that scene, we have Izzie asking George if he doesn't remember all those hours last night. And he remembers the bourbon but nothing else, and he tells her he didn't mean whatever he said or did last night. And Izzie tells him 'Trust me, George, you meant it. You meant it more then once.'

- Meredith studying up for her procedure and Derek's hovering had me laughing a bit. My favorite was the comment that, if Cristina slept in her own bed, Derek wouldn't have to hover. That was actually adorable.

- Intern lunch scenes have made a comeback! It was sad, though, when Izzie asked about black outs, and how Alex informed her that you usually don't remember what you don't want to remember.

- How unfortunate for poor George to realize just what happened last night in the middle of lunch with his father-in law. It didn't look as if he was making the best impression to begin with, but after refusing Mr. Torres's offer at a house, both Callie and her father seem to look at him in a different light. George, however, is only focused on what he's just discovered, and rushes off to find Izzie.

- Though there's no spoken words, that supply closet scene has got to be one of the most moving scenes I've seen in Grey's history. George and Izzie don't even say anything, but it's almost like you can hear the conversation going on between them by their actions, the looks in their eyes. There's anger, with George hitting the shelves, you can see that longing when Izzie touches his face, and he stops, holds her hand for only a second and lets go. After George left, Izzie could barely keep standing...

- Derek's just trying to protect Meredith, telling her she doesn't need to go on with the procedure and that Sloan's using her, but she says she doesn't need protecting. Because it's what her dead mother wants.

- Alex helping Eva pick out her face was so touching. How he described them and then basically told, by description of Jane Doe, which he thought she should choose was so sweet. It'll be kind of weird to see her with a new face...

- When Cristina's talking to Burke before his board meeting, about how he was the one the Chief originally chose, he tells her he's not that guy anymore, that he doesn't want to be that guy anymore, that he wants to be better. He wants to move forward. Cristina gets the message, sort of how her patient has to move forward with his one good foot.

- After the O'Malleys' and Izzie's patient dies, Izzie gives a speech on mistakes to the patient's daughter. The interesting thing is, that indirectly, Izzie is refering to her mistake with George. And it seems that Callie seems to respect this speech, and George might suspect it's about him. Which it is.

- Meredith decides to go on with the procedure after a talk with Mark. Mark says he's not an ass, and that he wants to help Meredith prove she's a surgeon again by letting her do this procedure. Of course, he is doing it for the points, too, but that's besides the point. She does the bone graft well, and makes dead mama Grey proud.

- George talks with Izzie in the locker room at day's end and they decide that their secret is going to be between the two of them. Even so, Izzie looks pretty distressed when stripping her bed of the soiled sheets, and even when with Callie, George is apologizing sincerely for his clothes smelling up the hotel room...but he's really apologizing for the adultery.

- Cristina agreed to get married. But the best line had to be the 'It has to be small. Me and you, and Meredith. And Shepherd if you want. And now religious stuff...' So Cristina.

- Meredith and Derek. I love how they have that sort of depression meter thing going on. The good thing is, that depression seems to go down with contact. And, as Meredith made her dead mother proud, she gets to have sex with a certain Mr. Shepherd.

Meredith Grey: So, after her near death experience, it seems the authorities of Seattle Grace Hospital are not treating the young Grey protege as a surgeon, but as a fragile person who might break at any given moment. In order to prove herself (and for Mark to gain Chief race points) she agress to do a difficult bone graft procedure on Alex's Jane Doe. Derek seems to think Mark is setting her up for failure, and tries to protect her, but Meredith gives him the 'I don't need protecting' speech and goes on with her practicing. However, she nearly bails out when it comes to procedure time, but with a little talk from Mark Sloan Meredith performs the procedure perfectly. She makes mommy proud. And manages to ease Derek's emotional pain afterwards.

Alex Karev: Alex helps Jane Doe find a new face, and a new identity in Eva. He uses a mix of his usual Alex attitude and his irresistable charm associated with Jane Doe to do so. He monitors her baby through surgery, and visits her afterward. As it turns out, she wants to be called Eva from now on. There's a moment between Alex and Addison, and Eva asks about it after Addison leaves, but Alex doesn't say much. Just smiles and shrugs it off in that oh so Alex way of his.

Cristina Yang: Her attempt to rewind time didn't fall too well with Burke, as he repeatedly informed her that he had no interest in going back. He only wanted to go forward. While working with an amputation patient, Cristina seems to realizes there's no going back. You can only move forward. And so, she decides to do so, by leaving Marlowe and the doubt he bestowed in her behind, and going to Burke to inform him they're still getting married. With a Justice of the Peace and Meredith and Derek as witnesses.

George O'Malley: After a late night of drunken fun, George remembers nothing but the alcohol. When asking Izzie, she tells him nothing happened, and he goes to work as usual. He's hungover, and looks terrible, and as it turns out, Callie's father has arranged to meet up with them for lunch. George can barely function at work, and in the middle of lunch he realizes what happened last night. He goes to Izzie, and they have an unspoken conversation that basically conveyed that this thing with them, it couldn't happen. So George went about his day, even getting praised by Callie and her father, and welcomed into the family. He and Izzie promise to keep the secret between them so as not to hurt Callie. But, that night, George's guilt causes him to apologize sincerely not for his clothing, but for his adultery.

Izzie Stevens:Struggling with the aftermath of her night with one George O'Malley, Izzie finds herself second guessing her feelings about the whole affair. Through the day, Izzie tries to deal with the emotions, even going so far as to ask Addison for advice. What she comes to realize, though, is that though it might have been a mistake, that something good could come out of it. She even goes so far as to give a little indirect speech about mistakes to the daughter of the O'Malleys' and her patient. Of course, her closet-meeting with George sort of kills these good thoughts, and they promise to keep their affair their little secret. At the end of the day, though, as Izzie's stripping the sheets, she seems overwhelmed with her thoughts (wants? needs?), and struggles to keep it together.

Attendings and Other Such Authorities:
- First of all, Colin Marlowe has a ten year plan. The Chief isn't pleased with this plan for his hospital, and talks to his Attendings about it. There's a scramble to get on top, with Burke doing a PowerPoint Presentation, Addison rehershing lines, Derek asking advice from Meredith and...Mark being Mark.

- Mark tells Addison not to fiddle with her glasses because it makes her look like she's indecisive. The conversation goes from weaknesses, Addison's being none and Mark's being Addison, to ten year plans. Obviously, Mark has none.

- There's a conversation between Mark and Derek, but it ends badly as Mark is apparently setting up Meredith for failure. Derek vows to hurt him if it goes badly.

- Mark asks Bailey what she'd change about the hospital, and she says 'a right now plan'. He uses that in his board meeting, and, as of now, is ahead in the race for chief.Bailey seems a cross between disgusted by this and admiring him.

- Derek confides to the Chief that Meredith can swim, and that she must've given up. He admits that he stays up at night just to hear her breathe. He's come to realize he could lose her, and he's become protective. It's affecting their relationship. But he can't help it.

- Derek's brooding. He seems so distracted by everything with Meredith that he messes up his meeting with the board. But his emotional pain is eased by a little bit of time alone with Meredith.

- Burke tells Cristina point blank that he doesn't want to go back, he wants to go forward, and eventually, it pays off.

Other:
- Not enough Bailey! I miss the Nazi!

- I actually really liked Mark this episode. He can be an ass, but he still cares about people. To an extent.

- Izzie and George. We'll see where we go from here...

That's it for now, guys. 'til next time. Doc, out!
