As the season rolls on, emotions run high on "Grey's Anatomy." Last night George discovered the truth about his father's surgery --- that the doctors performed it, at his dad's request, knowing that there was almost no chance he would survive it --- and flew off the handle, as expected. It was a dramatic scene as he yelled at both Dr. Bailey and the chief in regards to their lack of frankness with him. McSteamy wasn't quite so...steamy, as he showed a softer side of himself while expressing sadness, uncertainty and regret over Addison aborting his baby a year ago. But I've got to say, it was a little hard to believe that an ass like him would keep those feelings masked for so long.

It seems Dr.Burke's tremors are a thing of the past, and he and Christina's childish but cute game of silence appears to be nearing its end as well. My prediction is that Christina will loose this one --- the stubborn always do. Meredith and Izzy actually worked up the guts to conquer their uncertainties. Meredith finally took the first step toward getting to know her father, after Christina and Izzy pointed out their many similarities.  Izzy finally stood up to Dr. Bailey and has begun accepting the fact that she is an emotionally attached surgeon without apology. This was a major relief, since she was beginning to get a bit pathetic and her behavior lasted far longer than anyone could take it.

Although the episode was filled with lows --- in particular the death of Mr. O'Malley and George's joining of the "dead dads club" along with Christina --- there was one major high point: the ignition of the fire that is Addison and Alex. It's on and no one can put it out!
