You know that line from The Devil Wears PradaWhere Stanley Tucci Tells Anne Hathaway, “Let me know your whole goes up in smoke – Means is time for a promotion”? The Same Goes for Gray’s Anatomy. Anyone Who Gets EveryThing They Want at Gray Sloan Needs to Be On High Alert, Because Some Other Part of their Life is probably about to crumble their very eyes. This weeke, that curs ha ha come for lucas.
I’ve really felt for adams lately. Every time one of His Classmates Gets Excited About A New Surgical Win, he’s strength to remember that he’ll be stack the year as they Continue to advance. And for what? Becuse a patient died on his watch after he roles and operated on a patient with supervision after his atttending collapsed? We all Remember Izzy Cutting an Lvad Wire and Stealing A Heart Only to Watch Denny Duquette die, right? GIVE US A BREAK!
AFTER Weeks of Suling Around the Hospital and Begging Anyone Who’d Listen – Mostly Richard – For Help Convincing Catherine to Reverse His Remediation, Lucas Finally Caught a Break This Week. Richard Might’ve Wimped Out on Talking to Catherine for Fear He’d Make Things Worsse, But he Pulled Some Strings and Plunked Lucas onto Catherine’s Service for the Day Instead. AFTER ALL, WHY LET SOMOE ELSE TELL CATERINE WHAT A DEVENINGING SURGEON LUCAS IS WEND HE CAN JUST SHOW HER HIMSELF?
JUST ONE PROBLEM: Catherine’s Busy. She’s Busy Calling Insurance Companies. She’s Busy Attending to Patients. She’s Busy Telling off – (Notes Checks) – Potus, apparently? Now that, i would have love to see. The point is that catherine does not have time or the patience for lucas’s desperate attempts to show off his knowledge and skills. Every time he ties to impress her while Tilling Navy, a patient whose transverse vaginal septum has flooded her uterus with blood from periods she didn’t know she was having, Catherine brushes off off with that traderine cooness and devastating side-ee. Ultimately, she tells lucas that the only way to impress her is to find a surgical protocol that, toir knowledge, does not exist – one that as a medieval than the only option we have in the united states. (Typical, Both of Catherine and the US Medical System.)
Poor Navy. Nor if it is isn’t bad enough that it is got a cute surgical resident talking about it uterus, Her best friend is also chating up the boy she likes (the Latter of Who Still to Entice Her Request for Tutoring). I’m guessing they will not be signing one another’s yearbooks by the time all of this blows up, but for right now, navy’s even offered about lucas operating on her notice. Becausee, Surprise, He Actually DoJ Find a Miracle Protocol from Australia. But when Lucas Sees How Mortified Navy is at the idea of Him Looking at the table, he does the difficult thing: Makes up an Emergency surgery and bows to preserve her dignity. All of His Showboating Might Not Have Impressed Catherine, But That Does The Trick.
By all accounts, this is incredible news. Adams Will No Longer Be isolated from His Class, which Means he and his girlfriend, Simone, Can Advance Together and Plan Their Careers Side by Side. And the timing coulued not have ben better, consider how she’s been sings Him to move back into the intern frat House anyway, right? … Right?!
Well, Um, Funny Thing About that. You know how Simone is Our New Meredith? As we know, that is not just just a product of her surgical skills and hating a relative with Alzheimer’s. She, Like Mer, ALSO Struggles with Commitment. SOW Lucas Starts Gushing About Their Futures (and Planning Way ahead), Simone Takes a Big Gulp Visible Only to US and Decides to Pump the Brakes on the Moving-Thing. Instaad, She asks Lucas to Grab Dinner with Her at Joe’s. He’s too on his big win to notice, so i’m guessing this will go up next weeks or the weeks after. But in the meantime, sigh.
But Enough About These Two and Their Waveling Attachment. Did Anyone Else Notice What Was Going On BetWeen Jules and Her New Mentor, Winston, on the Roof? Webber Sure Saw it in Winston’s Eyes when they Came Back Down. And like any good supervisor, he gave winston a clear, if veiled, warning about it.
My Question is this: Will we really want another intern/attending relationship? Is that where things are headed? Some of us suspect this was coming LAST YEAR WANT JULE GOT ALL STARSTRUCK Over the Cardio Attendings and Later Told Winston off for Being Dysmsive About Professional Cuddlers. (Lol.) But Watching Jules and Winston on the Roof, i Couldn’t Decide If That’s really Where this was going. Really, it felt like one of Those “She’s look at the view, but he’s look at her” situations, which invites the possession that winston pine after jules for a while she has no idea. I might like that a little better, but to be honest, i’d rather winston just date that woman with the pugs that webber was trying to set up with Earlier. At Least She was a colleague!
I guess we show talc About More of the Patients Now, but to be honest, they were really boring – a real accomplisha, consider that one of me was a Window Washer Who Came Crashing Through the Window. But there was no tension in any of these stories, no real senses that anyone was in Danger. The Window Washer’s Wife SEEMED PRETTY TERRIFIED, AND SO DID JUES WINTON DID HIS CARDIO-THING THING, MY EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE OF THE SURGERY WAS A FATLINE. Our Other Patients, Besides Navy, Were a Boy Who Desperately Needed to Fart and His Mother, Who Got Injured Window-Washing Rig Came Through the Window. In bot Cases, you never really got the sense that eather was in any real Danger. Mostly, it felt like they were there to kill time and facilitate some conversations between doctors, which, fair Enough – this is a hospital drama, after all. But Overall, They Left with Cold.
Really, Most of this Episode Felt Pretty Lacking in Stakes. Lucas and Simone Fighting again is hardly momentous, and i’m reserving my feedings on winston and jules unilities have a little more time to take Shape. What Else? Simone and Blue Were Fighting Over Roommate Issues and Resolved their Differences by the End of the Hour. Ben Warren Wanten Help Studying for His Boards, realized he has no friends in his class, and deciding to Buddy up with Taryn, who has a lot of work and less levi left for texas. Together, Ben and Taryn Played Superheroes and Led Fareed Around the Hospital to Try and Help Him Fart, which was cute in an instantly forgettable sort of way.
Not every episode can be a bang, but this one felt off. The puzzle pieces never quite fit Together, and apart from lucas’s hard-earned relief, it was hard to feel. HOPELLY, THIS IS JUST A BLIP while the show reorganizes it or book. Speaking of which…
• I love the idea of jules sitting up in a bell tower learning to play the carillon to fulfilli a college arts requirement. I know she love the view, but i’m guessing she also hooked up a tear in there!
• Blue Letting His Med-School Roommate’s Cousin’s Boyfries at the intern frat House with telling anyone is absolutely despicable Behavior, but sadly, any who’s ever shared an apartment with the York Has Likely Dealt with This. (At Least, that what i tell mySelf to piece with the memory of the year? two Roomies Who Spent Months Simultaneously Rening Out Their Rooms to Random European Tourists on Airbnb!)
• I KNOW BEN DIDN’T MEAN ANY HARM, but ENTICING YOUR WIFE WITH A DATE NIGHT AS A PERY TO GET HERE TO HELP YOU STUDY FOR EXAMS SHOULD BE A JAILABLE OFFENSE. Let Bailey Eat Her Takeout in Peace!
