All the doctors head out - and Derek misses Meredith. \u00a0He tracks her down in the OR where she tells him he's better at charming donors - and then she offers him a surgical instrument and a spot at the table.<\/p>\n<p>And the old junkie Cristina has to do heart surgery on? \u00a0Alex thinks he might be his father. \u00a0Karev hasn't seen his Dad in 20 years. \u00a0Jo walks in to find Karev trying to draw his own blood for a test. \u00a0What a way to find your father!<\/p>\n<p>And Jackson brings the formerly fleeing rich folks to the OR gallery to take them behind the scenes of the circus. \u00a0And they ask - \"How much do you need?\" \u00a0That's the sweetest question since the jury in \"The Verdict\" returns with the question - \"Is our award limited to the amount the Plaintiff asked for?\"<\/p>\n<p>And there are Mer and Der in the exam room........talking about the prom I started off this post by discussing -- and then they do more than talk. \u00a0Still wicked in the best ways.......<\/p>\n<p>Bailey moves her lonely, racist patient in with the Chief! \u00a0That'll be interesting.<\/p>\n<p>And Jackson walks in on Shane kissing his woman - the one he didn't ask to the party. But she goes after Jackson. \u00a0Look how far they've come on Grey's boys and girls! \u00a0Der and Mer had to hide because he was an attending and she was an intern. \u00a0Now the Chief of the Board can kiss an intern right in the open, in the remains of his big party.<\/p>\n<p>And Bailey's gambit makes the Chief try -- Cristina finally pushes Owen away hard enough to make him try - and Mer\/Der give getting back to work a try (why? \u00a0I guess medicine is their writing)<\/p>\n<p>The show ends with a quote from \"on with the show.\" \u00a0Because it must go on - and we must try - even though trying is the hardest thing of all.....<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grey's is turning 200? \u00a0And Patrick Dempsey is still McDreamy? \u00a0Nah, Grey's is turning 10 tonight with episode 200 - but , P Demp is still mighty fine.
