Chicago Fire
The boom is lowered a little closer on Casey (just discovered I’ve been spelling this one wrong–man, I’m having trouble with the names in this show!) in this episode. The dirty cop hassles Hallie now too, and the firefighters are trying to find a way to take care of the situation, working with Dawson’s brother in the police department, but things keep getting worse. Casey gets jumped and beaten up pretty badly.
Meanwhile, Severide gets in touch with an old flame in order to get some more painkillers.
Herrmann (just discovered I’ve been spelling his name wrong too! Sorry again, all!) gets into some trouble with a pyramid scheme, and the former candidate (still haven’t gotten his name in my memory–Otis?) helps him get his money back.
I honestly can’t say that this show is THAT much better than Nashville for its time slot, but after this week’s episode of Nashville, it definitely winning me over a little more. The drama of Casey’s battle with the dirty cop is getting heavy, with the chief holding Casey’s crowbar and looking off at the building the cop just entered.
Last Resort
This was an intense episode: the water gets contaminated with a chemical that makes everyone hallucinate and go a little loopy. Of course, Serrat was helping the perpetrators because he was expecting the Navy to go back home after being drugged, giving him the opportunity to regain control of the island. However, things don’t go according to plan.
Sam finds out that his wife has been involved with another man, though he’s not 100% sure whether it’s romantically or otherwise. He doesn’t have time to really process the information, but his hallucinations show the real fear he has of having left her alone, vulnerable to loneliness and whatever the government might be telling her.
The government was conspicuously absent from this episode, and that was a good thing. It was a much more intense and entertaining episode with the drama and action going on primarily on the island, not worrying about some omnipotent conspiratorial overlord that is the government’s role in this show.
The big problem: someone slipped in while Marcus was unconscious and stole the key for the submarine’s nuclear firing capabilities. Who, and to what end? And what will become of the now basically defenseless USS Colorado and crew?
Grey’s Anatomy
There were so many things right with this episode, I am not sure where to start! I love the inner monologue thing throughout with Meredith and Cristina as they have sort of mirrored surgery days. Cristina gets a hell of an aneurism on a heart and Meredith helps a woman who was hit, and lay trapped under, a car.
Meredith is desperate to save the woman’s life, convinced she can, but Webber is worried and tries to keep her grounded because the woman’s injuries are so similar to Lexie’s from the plane crash.
Cristina’s casual relationship with her department head becomes too much to take as the man continues to try to force out Dr. Thomas. She continues to side with Thomas because he’s her Meredith out in Minnesota, but tries to warn him of what is at stake and just how hard the other doctor is gunning for him.
Meanwhile, Derek is out of town and Meredith is trying to juggle Zola while taking care of her touch-and-go patient. Zola ends up getting shuffled around the hospital among Callie, Bailey’s intern, April, Jackson, and the chief, Owen, before Bailey hands Meredith an extensive babysitter list to use instead of her coworkers.
It is really awesome to see Meredith as an attending. After all these years, after all the “mistakes” and questionable calls she’s made for the sake of her patients, she really has become an amazing, passionate surgeon. And best of all, the woman lives through the traumatic car accident and surgeries.
Cristina on the other hand, was always an amazing surgeon. It’s still strange to see her away from Seattle Grace, but she has come into her own as well as a real surgeon–she doesn’t need to battle anyone for a promotion or ask to scrub in on the awesome surgeries. She is that good that these cases and these things just come to her on their own now.
However, in the middle of the second heart surgery on the aneurism patient, Dr. Thomas collapses in the OR and has to be resuscitated on the OR floor while Cristina finishes the heart surgery. Her patient lives too, but Dr. Thomas does not.
At the end, Cristina shows up on Meredith’s doorstep, drunk as a skunk, and talking incoherently. Meaning, Cristina finally did get on a plane and come back to Seattle. The question is: does she really want to stay at the hospital in Minnesota when her one anchor, her one friend, a man she really appreciated and looked up to, has died? I wouldn’t think so. Especially after how horribly the other doctor treated him.
But Cristina has so rarely based her decisions on emotion that it’s hard to say what she’ll end up doing. Whatever the budget, I’m sure Owen would be happy to welcome her back to Seattle Grace if she chose to return and maybe head up the cardio department…
