Yes I'd Rather Hurt Than Feel Nothing At All

So I usually get the connection between the title of the episode and the moral of the episode, but this connection, nada…don’t see at all…No nakedness, and when we start to see a hint of nakedness, what do we get?

We are scratched in the face with chicken pox!!! Though I have to say if Mark was rubbin himself all up and down my body, I’d be perfectly fine, happy even, with the chicken pox, but sadly I fit in the Lexie/Arizona club and have already had them.  Damn it!!!

Alright so let’s start at the beginning, shouting match between Mer and Der…impressive on both parts.  He wants to turn the chief in, which I totally agree with 100% and she is afraid it will ruin his career.  Unfortunately his career is already ruined, he hasn’t been operating for what freakin two months now, how does a chief of surgery get by without actually performing surgery??  So they continue their little fight and then she brings a smile to by face by calling Derek her “husband”…aww our little girl has grown up!!!

” The Chief is gone… he’s been gone a long time.”

So Bailey finds out that the Chief has more or less stolen her surgery, though technically Meredith will be performing pretty much the whole thing.  And as expected she turns nazi, she’s pissed off, and may I say she has a right to be so.  But then I got a pang of pain for her…she turns from pissed off to disappointed, like she’s lost her mentor.  But in the end she comes back and kicks some Whipple ass!!!

“People do matter.  I matter.  We matter.”

The infamous love triangle…hmm where to start.  So Owen is in love with Cristina, Teddy is in love with Owen, Cristina tells Teddy she can have Owen if she will just stay on as Head Cardio, Cristina tells Meredith that she loves Owen.  So to sum everyone loves everyone, except poor Teddy, no one’s really loving (at least in a romantic way) her.

“I can’t even look at you right now.”

Seriously!!! We are talking to the president of the Dirty Mistresses Club…I’m sorry Mark has never cheated on anyone??  Don’t get me wrong I love Mark to death, but seriously to say something like that to Lexie, after you just boned Addie, seriously!!!! I just, I’m not comprehending that part.  I honestly felt awful for Lexie and yes last week I felt bad for Mark, but now he’s just a complete jackass.  I seriously like these two, I think they make an awesome couple, they have great chemistry…but ugh!!!

“I want you to go and be happy and not come back!”

So I sat there kind of stunned for a few seconds, because seriously he was all saying how much he loved her and then he’s pretty much like I never want to see you again, serious McAss!!! I’m not a big Izzie fan at all, personally I haven’t missed her one second and I think the show goes on fine without her, but I felt bad for her.  Here she was all ‘I’m back and healthy and I want to move back in and I’m getting a new job and we can do this’ and he just mentally slapped her in the face.

“Surgery or love, you have to choose!”

So this quote pretty much sums up the meaning of the entire episode.  Would you choose your job or the person that you loved?  Which one would come first in your life? And once again I agree with Iz…a job is a job, it’s a thing, there are jobs anywhere you go (especially when you are SGH drs), but love…true, fairytale romance, love is something you find once in a lifetime.  Now I’m not a surgeon, I don’t hold a beating heart in my hand, I don’t get to clip aneurysms in brains, I don’t save the lives of people, I don’t get to experience that high…but to me, if I had half of the “love” these people have, I would drop my scalpel in a millisecond.  Because a job is important, yes, but at the end of the day it doesn’t love you, it doesn’t make you feel wanted, it’s just there for you to come back to the next day.
