I Was Expecting One Proposal, But Two? Wow!
!!!!!! This review contains spoilers !!!!!!

As usual, this episode of Grey's Anatomy was great; with an excellent combination of drama and comedy written in the script.

When the episode started, I really loved the childish way Cristina and Burke were acting during their dinner with Meredith and Derek. I thought it was comical the way Meredith said that Burke and Cristina should apologize to one another so her friend could eat a decent meal since she doesn’t cook. Another part of the beginning that I liked was the way George was grieving over the death of his father. It was priceless the way Callie was begging Izzie to be there for him because she had enough of George’s insatiable appetite to last for a long time.

Moving on to the scenes at the hospital, I really liked Sloan’s attitude towards Alex and Meredith when it came to changing the patient’s dressings. McSteamy does a great job in making his interns jobs pure torture due of the way he refuses to make the nurses do the job because of how much he likes them. I thought it was hilarious the way Burke was trying to bribe Cristina into talk by offering to let the first intern to correctly answer a question he was asking to scrub into a rare surgery.

There was one part that I found to be pretty good, even though it made me squirm: Callie and Cristina having to cut into their patient’s legs in the hallway before taking him into surgery. I also thought it was touching the way the Chief was giving Cristina advice on what it takes to be a surgeon. It was also priceless the way Bailey talked to the attendings when she was trying to start her free clinic. It’s about time someone told them that they were acting like complete jerks in order to get the Chief to name one of them as his replacement; the same can be said in they way the Chief told them off as well.

By the end of the episode, I thought it was great the way Izzie decided to fund Bailey’s Free Clinic with Denny’s money. The one part that I really didn’t like was when the Chief got the unwelcome surprise by Adele, informing him that their marriage was finally over. After everyone left the hospital for the day, it was nice to see Cristina take the firsts step in finally talking to Burke and was surprised when he proposed as a result. I was also surprised at seeing George proposing to Callie as well, mainly because the look on her face made it seem like she was going to say no.

In all, I really enjoyed this episode of Grey’s Anatomy. The writing in them keeps getting better every week and takes the viewer down every twist and turn the interns and their colleagues go down.
