Derek made a small mistake and accidentally caused a bleed in her brain. Tonight the epic Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice crossover comes to a close. Your normal Grey's recapper Debbie Chang is off at a fancy party with The Bachelor's Jason Mesnick, so look forward to some cool exclusive scoop on Jason in the next few days. Now to Grey's Anatomy, where Meredith tells us about how normal people look at doctors like gods. The big problem comes when the doctors start seeing themselves like that, as Derek (Patrick Dempsey) is undoubtedly doing. The pregnant woman with the word salad needs emergency surgery, but her husband tells Derek and Addison that if they're forced to choose, they should save his wife and let the baby die. During the surgery, things go wrong for the mom, but Derek still feels guilty for his mistake so he does everything he can, including cutting out large chunks of her brain. Addison (Kate Walsh) thinks the woman is dead and wants to remove the baby, so she threatens to perform a C-section while Derek prepares to cut out the mom's frontal lobe. It's a Mexican stand-off with scalpels instead of guns....... read on http://www.buddytv.com/articles/greys-anatomy/greys-anatomy-episode-516-an-h-26475.aspx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CHICAGO TRIBUNE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CINEMA BLEND TV Recap: Grey's Anatomy - An Honest Mistake - Feb 20, 2009 Tonight’s episode seems to be about not being able to let go and harassing the Chief over it. Derek cannot let go of the patient whose aneurysm he nicked lord knows how many episodes ago, The Chief can’t let go of his plans for Bailey being the next Chief, Sloane just can’t quit Lexie, Izzie can’t let go of her own craziness, and Faye Dunaway plays a surgeon who can’t let go of surgery. …with wacky results. Except not really. You’d think that after at least three episodes, I could remember this lady’s name, but I can’t. The pregnant lady who ran over her husband is still around and going under for what we hope is one more surgery to repair a bleed. The surgery takes so long that Addison is about to remove the baby to save its life, but Derek finishes just in time. The lady can talk normally again and everyone’s happy…for about five minutes, until she has another complication and they have to take her in again. This time, the only solution that Derek can think of is to remove parts of the woman’s brain while her baby slowly runs out of time. Things get incredibly tense with everyone questioning Derek’s judgement (the dude looks tired and out of it, but refuses to relinquish control) and Addison wanting to at least save the baby. Derek pretty much just tells everyone to kiss his ass and stay out of the way, so Addison sends Alex to get the Chief, who makes Derek let the patient go (she has almost no brain left anyway) and Addison save the baby. The husband, as one would expect, does not take the death of his wife, whom he was repeatedly told was undergoing routine procedures, well at all and calls Derek a murderer. http://www.cinemablend.com/television/TV-Recap-Grey-s-Anatomy-An-Honest-Mistake-15477.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- EW.COM 'Grey's Anatomy' recap: Gods and Monsters - February 20, 2009 Derek crosses a line trying to right a wrong, Cristina takes on an older doc whose time has passed, and Izzie finally finds out what's wrong with her This Grey's Anatomy episode proved one thing: Good guest stars are a good thing. (Parade of endless mediocre/bad guest stars, giving the impression that writers are throwing every midlevel star in Hollywood up against a surgery room wall to see what sticks? Not good.) Faye Dunaway rocked it. (And note to Hilary Duff: Her face looks phenomenal — aged, but beautiful — for a lady of her years.) Jessica Capshaw's starting to gel, thanks to Callie's romantic interest in her. And Kate Walsh, well, nothing will ever convince me she doesn't belong at Seattle Grace. I actively squirmed seeing her back in Private Practice land after Grey's. ''Admit it,'' Alex teased Meredith about Addison. ''Her being around your guy bugs.'' ''Okay,'' Meredith answered. ''It bugs a little.'' No! No, it doesn't! Don't send her back! I know, I know, she has to go. But I honestly hope they don't bring her back to Grey's again anytime soon — it's just too painful a tease. As for Ms. Dunaway....When Cristina started crabbing about how some old lady surgeon named Dr. Campbell had botched a guy's surgery, I thought, Oh, God, no, not another new random doctor. Funny how everything changed when it turned out to be Faye. She made me care. She commanded her story line. She blended seamlessly, going toe to toe with — and, in fact, being one of the few people who could quite possibly even bury — Sandra Oh (who called her ''ye olde timey,'' among other things). This is how, and when, you bring in a guest star. Tyne Daly. Faye Dunaway. They are worth every extra second of my attention span. ..............continues http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20260330,00.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FANGASM ----------------------------------------------------------------------- LA TIMES ----------------------------------------------------------------------- MSNBC Derek and Addison face off on ‘Grey's’ And guest star Faye Dunaway gives Cristina a glimpse into her own future - Feb 19, 2009 The return of the plot: When last we left Pregnant Aneurysm Lady — actually named Jen — Derek had caused a complication and punished himself accordingly. After a risky procedure, she stabilized, then decompensated again. This week, after she was again stable, Addison told Jen that she had preeclampsia (the same condition that killed the mother in the notoriously devastating “ER” episode “Love’s Labor Lost,” to which this episode bears a strong resemblance). When Derek didn’t want Jen to be told what was wrong, Addison sensed that he’d become too guilt-ridden to exercise good judgment. Surgery goes south: During Jen’s next surgery, her condition deteriorated. Derek removed her temporal lobe, startling everyone, but when it got even worse and he wanted to take out her frontal lobe — which all agreed would leave behind little of the person Jen’s husband knew — Addison and Derek wound up in a standoff. They stood poised over Jen with scalpels, Derek rather senselessly wanting to remove most of her brain to keep her nominally alive, risking the baby’s life; Addison claiming Jen was gone and wanting to save the baby. The big finish: Ultimately, the Chief stopped Derek, Jen died, and the baby was delivered. Jen’s husband put Derek through a wrenching “you’re a murderer” grief-driven breakdown, which sent Derek into such a spin that he wound up in a brutal fight with an unsuspecting Mark, who chose exactly the wrong moment to reveal that he’s sleeping with Lexie. Dunaway we go: Faye Dunaway played Dr. Campbell, an older physician Cristina considered well past her prime, and who had botched a gall-bladder surgery performed conventionally rather than laproscopically. It became clear that it was time for Campbell to retire, which she finally did, but not before lowering the boom on Cristina, predicting a future much like her own, where the end of surgery would be the end of everything. No surprises: Izzie learned her blood had been switched on an earlier blood test. A patient who thought she had cancer turned out to have only anemia, sending Izzie on a wild goose chase of lymph-node exploration. Ultimately, she sneaked over to dermatology to have a mole addressed. The episode ended without a firm verdict on the mole, but Izzie looked grim as she set the interns to the task of diagnosing a not-so-routine “Patient X.” Rote recommendation: Bailey was baffled when the Chief gave her only a so-so recommendation for the pediatrics position she’s now decided is her destiny. After seeing that her performance was “fine,” she set out to right the situation. The Chief eventually admitted that he wasn’t thrilled about helping her escape succeeding him, so she got by on recommendations from Addison and — surprisingly — George, who unsurprisingly was wandering the halls looking for something to do. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29288339/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW YORK MAGAZINE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TV GUIDE Pilot News: Who Is Grey's Boss Shonda Rhimes' New McDreamy? - Feb 19, 2009 A drama pilot being shepherded in part by Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes has found its "McDreamy." Inside the Box, from Richard Robbins and exec-produced by Rhimes and Betsy Beers, is set in a Washington news bureau and revolves around Catherine, a hard-hitting producer. Playing coworker Jake — aka the Derek to Catherine's Meredith — will be Martin Henderson. The New Zealand-born Henderson previously landed the male lead in a never-picked-up ABC pilot based on Mr. & Mrs. Smith, where he would have played Brad to Jordana Brewster's Angelina. The female lead role of Catherine has yet to be cast. Not going Inside the Box, it should be noted, is Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Although Grey's Anatomy's erstwhile Denny had been set as the male lead in a similar pilot Rhimes had cooking two pilot seasons ago — one centered on a group of female journalists — sources stress that Inside the Box is a distinctly separate project. Instead, Morgan is busy fielding feature film offers, his spokesperson tells TVGuide.com, and next can be seen on the big screen in Watchmen (opening March 6). In the meantime, Morgan's in talks to appear in The Losers, a comic-book adaptation in which he would play the leader of a special forces team, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Fans can also find him in The Resident, a forthcoming thriller with Hilary Swank. http://www.tvguide.com/News/Pilot-Shonda-Morgan-1003088.aspx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TV SQUAD ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ZAP2IT 'Grey's Anatomy': The arc ends: a fistfight and god talk - Feb 20, 2009 Technically, this episode of Grey's Anatomy was the end of the "crossover arc," but it was just pretty much Addison working on Derek's case and a lot of conversation about who was a god and when. Plus there's another freaky guest star. Spoilers ahead, but I'm going in laparoscopically... Fighting to save her: The centerpiece of the episode is Jen (Jennifer Westfeldt), the lovely pregnant patient who accidentally ran over her husband, Rob (Ben Shenkman) and turned out to have an aneurysm. Derek operated on her to repair it, nicked it, caused complications, she began having strokes and the baby got really sick. This week everything's getting fixed with a bypass, and a freaked-out Derek doesn't leave her side for days on end. Addison's there to watch the baby -- and Meredith and Karev do kind of a funny "my guy/your guy" banter. But as Jen's being wheeled away, Rob tells Addison to make no mistake: if it comes down to a choice between his wife and his baby, save Jen.....contd http://blog.zap2it.com/ithappenedlastnight/2009/02/greys-anatomy-the-arc-ends-with-a-fistfight-and-talk-of-gods.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited by jenlou1986, Feb 25 2009, 01:01 AM.
