‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 8 Ep. 15 Recap: ‘Have You Seen Me Lately?’

‘Have You Seen Me Lately?’

I was hesitant to watch this episode, because it was going to be crossover episode with Private Practice. I thought it was going to lean more to the Private Practice side (as the preview led me to believe), but when I watched the episode, there was only one cast from Private Practice :)

The episode started with Christina and Owen’s counselling session which I thought was unnecessary, because their issues were very obvious even to them, but they had been covering it up (unconsciously) until it finally blew up in their faces. Owen knew the type of person Christina was, she would always pick being a surgeon over everything else, not even a baby and she made that very clear. He kept hoping that maybe one day he would change her mind, but that wasn’t the case. She was pregnant with his baby and she insisted on getting rid of it. After much hesitation and arguments, he agreed with her decision. Ok! At this point you would think he already accepted the situation (no baby for him, at least not from Christina), but every little quarrel they’ve had since then had always been linked to the baby issue. They never sat down to discuss even after the incident, they just pretended it never happened. They are not on the same page, they are not even reading the same book. 

Derek’s Sister, Amelia was the guest from Private Practice, she came to practice a procedure for a very dangerous surgery. She was a recovering addict, which makes the situation complicated, She was still seen as fragile by Derek. As we all know how Lexie loves to pry sometimes, She was very useful in convincing Derek to come on board with Amelia.

But I have to say this…What is with the gross surgeries or cases that they’ve had lately?! Ummm…remember it is should be more about the doctors lives than the surgeries. C’mon! A man’s hand in a meat grinder?! I know the writer was trying to be creative, but let’s not make it a horror show. Thanks!

Oh…how can I forget how Bailey was Kicked out of the Operating Room by Avery?!….Yes! Avery, a fifth year kicking out an Attending and of all people…Miranda Bailey! Bailey really cares for her patients and she doesn’t want to see them worse, but she really wasn’t helping the situation by freaking out while they performed the surgery.

The Highlight of the episode: The fifth years were preparing for the oral boards (an exam or evaluation…you know…medical stuff). So everyone had a study buddy; Avery and Kepner, Meredith and Christina, or so she (Mer) thought, but Christina had other pressing issues at hand. Alex decided to use an intern, Morgan, She quizzes him as he works on his patients, but unknowing to Alex (Only Alex in the entire hospital) she was 24 weeks pregnant. She got a heart attack while quizzing him and she had to go through surgery and her baby was affected. He felt really guilty because he wasn’t aware of her condition, he didn’t even know her name. LOL! That is so Alex of him!!! At the end of the day he wasn’t a jerk, he stayed by bedside until she woke up and he knew more about now than he did at the beginning of the episode.

Overall…it’s wasn’t a bad episode, but I believe they can do better. They need to end the series with a bang…they owe the viewers  that much! #justsaying

“Grey’s Anatomy” airs Thurs. at 9/8c on ABC.

The Women Won Their First Challenge!!! ‘Survivor: One World’ Ep. 3 Recap!

 This week on Survivor was filled with emotions. It started off when the storm decided to say hello; the girls were mostly affected by the storm because they did not have a tarp. Chelsea was grumpy and cold and she broke down in tears. The storm spent the night with the girls and was gone by morning. The next day, some of the girls decided to go over to the guys tribe to get fire and to dry themselves. for some reason, both genders ended the conversation with the guys wanting to make a deal with the girls due to the fact that the girls were taking from the guys. It was like a trade without barter and the guys do not believe in handout. The only thing that Chelsea understood from the conversation was that the guys were bitching at her. Really? What did she expect them to do? Always open doors for the girls to take advantage of without a price? Think again!

The reward challenge was all about testing memorization skills. Basically, both teams had to look at how certain items are placed on a display and arrange them precisely at their station. the trick of the challenge: the display was not shown throughout the entire challenge. If the player is satisfied with looking at the display, he or she can close the curtain of the display even if the other player has not finished looking at the display. The reward fo the challenge was a canoe and fishing materials. Needless to say, the girls won the challenge and the reward.

The immunity challenge depended on the right caller and attentive ears of those who were blindfolded. It started off with the men having a huge lead over the women but the women brought their ‘A’ game and snatched their first win with a huge comeback. This secured the women and threw the men into the frying pan named tribal council. When the guys returned to their camp, Colton immediately called for a meeting with his alliance and asked that they all vote for Bill to go home because he just does not like Bill. Some of them wanted Matt to go home. During their meeting, Jay walked over to listen to their conversation. While they were talking about evicting Matt, he walks over. Awkward!!! Matt pulled Tarzan away to talk with him about his crazy scheme which Tarzan was not buying at all. Tarzan told Colton about Matt’s scheme and lets just say, that sealed Matt’s faith.

The men’s tribal council was not as crazy as the women’s tribal council. For some reason, Bill looked and talked like he was high because he was smiling sooo hard.

Who went home? The over-confident Matt and I agree with the vote. Matt was a strong competitor that could have caused some serious mind game authoritarian damage to the team. I admit it would have been juicy to watch but crazy for his tribe. Guess who orchestrated the plan to send matt home? Colton!

To find out if Colton seals another member’s faith, tune in next week, same time and same day for more on “Survivor.”

“Survivor” airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on CBS.
