Episode 7.19 It's a Long Way Back - Talk about it here
Apr 23 2011, 1:20 PM EDT | Post edited: Apr 23 2011, 1:27 PM EDT
Air date: 28th April 2011

Everyone pulls together to help Callie and baby Sofia on their painstaking journeys to recovery in hopes of allowing mother and baby to finally meet; the sudden death of a clinical trial patient has Derek proceeding with more caution while Meredith makes a calculated and risky move; Alex treats a cranky old rich woman dying of cancer and gets an idea for a grandiose endeavor that is sure to get him the Chief Resident spot; and Teddy is pleasantly surprised by the return of a familiar face.

Christina: "Are you giving me the finger?"
Callie: "Yes, I am"

^ LOL! But I get her totally. The pain of not being able to see her daughter...

Christina: "She's mostly tubes and wires. And she looks more like a chicken than a baby." <-- AAAAaaaaa!! That's just soooo Christina...

LOOOOOL, sneaking Callie past Bailey to see Sofia. But it was a beautiful moment then...

Oh wow, Alex is awesome. Showing pictures of the kids... that's torture! And calling her 'evil old b­itch'... Perfect.

Bailey: "I was coming to tell you to go home... Don't drop that baby!" <-- lol

Oh god, I knew Meredith will do crazy stuff... As soon as that other woman punched in the code, I knew it. Bad Meredith! Bad! Well, at least she didn't steal any drugs. She did the least bad thing.

And yet another very entertaining episode indeed.
I'm glad they did a three months time loop when they did, because I was getting a little worried they would be already having the wedding episode next week with Callie and the baby still in such a mess at the beginning of this week.

Karev keeps on surprising everybody, completely pulling awesome this stuff out of his a** all the time. LOL Come to think about it, the guy doesn't even surprise us so much anymore, does he? After this, indeed he deserves the chief resident position, as weird as that may have sounded a few weeks or months ago.

Meredith was the humanizing touch on the cold randomness of the trial procedures. It's not to say the active agent will actually or necessarily work for something, but now indeed she did "everything", as the chief said. They can't even reveal that Adelle got the active agent... Wow...

It's just the subplot between Teddy and Henry that I found a bit silly... I mean, the woman keeps going on all sorts of lousy dates and she keeps popping up at the guy's house to tell him about them?! After he had already told her he had feelings for her?! That's just evil, imho. Like I already, said, I enjoy seeing Teddy on screen a lot, but I don't appreciate silly and evil things done to or by the character.
Let's see what happens now with her old love interest being back. I still think something will have to be done for Henry's cause, because like it or not, Henry was written so people feel sorry for him and all. No way he's just gonna get kicked to the curb.

"1) It's just the subplot between Teddy and Henry that I found a bit silly... I mean, the woman keeps going on all sorts of lousy dates and she keeps popping up at the guy's house to tell him about them?!

2) I'm glad they did a three months time loop when they did, because I was getting a little worried they would be already having the wedding episode next week with Callie and the baby still in such a mess at the beginning of this week."
1) I think after two or three of such dates, it sorta became a ritual wherein she would entertain Henry with funny stories about how crappy those dates are. That, and bring him good food, the only good thing about the dates. Though in a way you're right, it is a bit evil. But hey, she made it clear more than once that their marriage is just a business arrangement.
As or the love interest being back... idk, I think it's yet another part of preparing for Teddy's exit from the show. It's a feeling I have.

2) Yeah, the time jump was indeed the only way to make things work. Good thing too, because I don't think I could handle a lot of Callie hurting because she can't see her baby.
Though with that said, Sara Ramirez' performance was a-ma-zing in this ep. The way her face lit up when she asked "can I see her today?" and how she then quickly became sad/disappointed/angry when Bailey again said "no"... how she started crying when April screwed up despite meaning well... then finally seeing Sofia for the first time... and then at the end freaking out about the dangers that lurk out there for the baby...

But that's just the thing. Henry has already made it clear that the marriage wasn't just a business arrangement to him, or at least it's obviously not anymore. Why would she have to keep going to his house and tell him about her dates with other men? That's just sad... The guy is a sick person and all...

About Teddy leaving the show, yeah, you could be onto something there, specially after Teddy's "falling out" with Yang. Also, I did some research and I found this:
http://www.tvline.com/2011/03/greys-anatomy-james-tupper-raver-foley/
I don't know if you had seen it too, but seems like Perkins is gonna be making a big proposal to Teddy (don't know if it's marriage) and that might be the cause for her to leave the show.
They're gonna have to get another "cardio god" for Yang. Maybe she is sort of a semi-god herself already by now...? LOL
Oh, and they're gonna have to cast another equally hot actress to take Kim Raver's place somehow. I won't be pleased if they don't.

I thought this episode was really good, emotive, but good. Like you guys have said, glad they did the time loop otherwise the wedding wouldn't have the potential that it now does. Looking forward to the next ep :) Do you find this valuable?

That's one of the things that make this show so enjoyable: there's always a terrific blend of emotive and tense moments with lighthearted and comedic ones. Each episode makes a wonderful mix of those, going back and forth. On this particular one, I though the comedy moments were the way Karev interacted with the bitter old lady patient who gave him the money in the end. Too funny!

Yes I agree! Karev and the old woman were funny and yet at the same time I found myself just smiling warmly when she left him the check and all the kids got off the bus with him.

Totally!

And that's why Karev got the money, because he didn't put up with her crap, he dished back in equal amount.
