As I await the Mer's voice over - thought I'd post a link to this story<\/a> about a 'miracle baby' who inspired a story in tonight's Grey's Anatomy. \u00a0 The McDonagh family of McHenry, Ill and their miracle baby, Ian, are fine now - but they went through a lot on the road to fine. \u00a0I hope this story isn't about Mer and the McNugget. \u00a0I don't wish ill on any little one and I'm sorry little Ian and his family went through this - but I already love the McNugget. \u00a0Just sayin'.<\/p>\n

(BTW - I linked the 'miracle baby' story earlier on QA's Facebook page. \u00a0If you don't follow us there, you're missing out on some juicy linkage. \u00a0So pause, click this link<\/a>, and follow - all good? \u00a0You did it right? \u00a0Okay - now on to the voice over...)<\/p>\n

Okay - Bailey's got the voice over tonight. \u00a0That makes sense - given her job jeopardy. \u00a0And infections are like monsters. \u00a0I'm a Type I diabetic and staph is an infection I've gotten to know too well. \u00a0 \u00a0But how dare the CDC grill Bailey? \u00a0She's the nicest Nazi I know.<\/p>\n

Great duck - April is going to play the distressed virgin card. \u00a0Come on - I was starting to like her for a while. \u00a0Guess we're not supposed to like April. \u00a0The writers' want us to see her as a nut. \u00a0Guess what? \u00a0To someone reared in the Bible Belt, April's not such a nut. \u00a0I'm going to try to forgive her for the outburst where she blames Jackson for \"taking\" her virginity. \u00a0I'll assume we will have an adult moment later where she at least apologizes and says that even if she regrets it now, her virginity was a gift she gave Jackson. \u00a0Geez - women can take responsibility better than this.<\/p>\n

Meredith wants Cristina to be there when she gives birth? \u00a0Cristina? \u00a0Hello - Mer, don't you know your person better than that? \u00a0Still, it's possible Cristina changes her mind before epi's end.<\/p>\n

The little boy - Ethan, I think - Owen's still attached even though Grandma has showed up now.<\/p>\n

Oh, and thank goodness. \u00a0The 'miracle' baby story doesn't involve the McNugget. \u00a0Don't grill the McNugget, Shonda Sunshine. \u00a0Some things are sacred.<\/p>\n

The family reunion story is a nice light note. \u00a0Love 'em. \u00a0Love 'em a lot. \u00a0Just not a lot of 'em at once, right?<\/p>\n

Bailey channels Aretha's \"Respect\" to time her scrubbing before surgery? \u00a0That fits. \u00a0All women everywhere should channel a little Aretha. The Nazi channels a lot of Aretha - which is why no one should mess with Bailey.<\/p>\n

Cristina tells Karev to beat up Jo's boyfriend? \u00a0Uhh Ohh, watch out what you wish for Cristina. \u00a0You might get it.....<\/p>\n

So, one of the reunion kids is going to break the CDC investigation story? \u00a0Interesting.<\/p>\n

Der's hovering over Mer and worrying about her treating Bailey's staph patients is way cute - from this side at least. Der's not so cute when Mer tells him she wants Cristina in the OR. \u00a0Love Owen's comment -- \"Watching a baby being born is like seeing God in person.\"<\/p>\n

The investigator grills Bailey on whether she closed a particular surgery. \u00a0But Bailey has the luxury of getting up and walking out before the interview is done. \u00a0Witnesses in a courtroom can't do that - and that point - the point when Bailey walked out - that's the point where the truth begins to emerge. \u00a0It's the breaking point. \u00a0I'm a lawyer, though I don't do trial work. \u00a0My boss is a trial lawyer and I do all the appeals. \u00a0Do you have any idea how much deposition and trial testimony I've read? \u00a0Yep, my boss is an excellent trial lawyer and he knows all about the breaking point.<\/p>\n

Now Mer sits down with Bailey. \u00a0But Jackson calls her on it -- and Ethan's Mom seizes. \u00a0Bailey's not allowed to treat - and it keeps Ethan available for that possible adoption Owen's going to want, right? \u00a0I blogged about that several epis ago.<\/p>\n

And Cristina's operating on 'miracle baby.'<\/p>\n

And Ethan's Mom doesn't survive the elevator ride up to the OR.<\/p>\n

Does anyone have a tissue?<\/p>\n

Oh, duckness. \u00a0Owen has to tell Ethan about his mom's death. \u00a0Owen does a great job and Ethan goes out to comfort his grandmother. \u00a0What an amazing kid! \u00a0More tissue? \u00a0Yes, I think so.<\/p>\n

Bailey hears her MENTOR, Webber, tell one of her struggling patients that the problem at the hospital was one doctor and she's been isolated from patients. \u00a0Jo asks Webber about it later and he says he doesn't believe that. \u00a0He just said it to get the patient's parents to let them operate so the guy wouldn't die. \u00a0Either way - it's truth to Bailey and truth from the source she'd take the most seriously. \u00a0Bailey goes back to the investigator - demanding to know the results of her staph test. \u00a0They tested Bailey - they tested everyone.<\/p>\n

The investigator doesn't answer, but Bailey sees the truth in his eyes - she does have the strain of staph infecting her patients. \u00a0She's left asking - \u00a0did I do this? \u00a0Did I do this? \u00a0The Nazi, humbled.<\/p>\n

Someone call Kleenex for me and order a crate. \u00a0Between this and the rumors of a \"superstorm\" striking during the finale and Shonda Sunshine promising more trauma -- Forget the crate. \u00a0How much tissue does an 18-wheeler hold?<\/p>\n

Yes, Cristina changes her mind. \u00a0However, Derek might kill her if she tries to turn the McNugget birth all dark and twisty. The Cristina expresses sympathy to Owen for Ethan's mom's loss.<\/p>\n

Bailey invades the board meeting. \u00a0She hears the investigator say that she carried the staph. \u00a0BUT - the gloves were defective - microscopic tears, etc. \u00a0The CDC doesn't think Bailey would have given the patients staph without the defective gloves. \u00a0CDC recommends Bailey be fully treated before going back to patient care. \u00a0But Bailey's still upset and I understand completely.<\/p>\n

Jackson has to go to April. \u00a0He tells her he's not sorry they slept together and then, on cue, jerky paramedic walks in. \u00a0He says he wants the do-over April offered earlier. \u00a0She gives it to him. \u00a0But I'm still waiting for April to woman up and own her choices.<\/p>\n

Okay, \u00a0Webber on the bench with Bailey. \u00a0She's still upset that she killed 2 patients and then she learns that another died. \u00a0She's in tears..... \u00a0upset that Webber shut her out when he should have tried to protect her. \u00a0Bailey says she always defended Webber when Adele complained about Webber putting the hospital first. \u00a0Instead of standing up for her, he stood up for the hospital again.<\/p>\n

Alex goes to Cristina's room when he gets home. \u00a0Jo called him on telling her secrets to her boyfriend. \u00a0And Alex finally confesses that he loves her. \u00a0And Cristina pats the bed - calling Alex in - not romantically, but in her old Mer posture of support. \u00a0She tells Alex that she thinks she is losing Owen. \u00a0Not today, but soon.<\/p>\n

Gosh, and the previews for next week - it looks like a lot of folks will begin to lose........<\/p>\n

How fast can that 18 wheeler of tissue get here?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
