Good things are worth the wait. How true is that? The latest episode of Grey’s is by far one of the best in this season. After a long, close to a month wait, the new Grey’s return with a bang, leaving you with much anticipation for the upcoming episode.

Remember before the break, things were kind of on a bad note for everyone. Burke and Christina; George and all his crushing situations. However, ‘Six Days’ started off oddly chirpy and cute. And as the show cruises along, it got me laughing at a lot of parts. The producers threw in dancey and happy songs, coupled with hilarious dialogue and funny scenes. An absolute enjoyment to watch, and very interesting to say the least.

Burke and Christina’s cold war became laughable when they started conversing through a third person. Christina, though visibly concerned with his hand, refuses to give in and speak to him. She kept getting various innocent individuals to question Burke about his tremors. And the way Burke coolly shakes everything off makes it extra funny, him being irritatingly sarcastic and childish. No wonder Addison told him that he’s pathetic.

Even things were looking a bit up for George during the episode. His dad’s heart surgery was successful and he kind of made up with Callie. They doing the funny ‘uh-huh’ dance in the room when they were assured by the pee that Mr. O’Mailey’s kidneys aren’t failing. And George’s two brothers looking on in bewilderment at the both. George is finally smiling!

And in this episode, we see a little more of Izzie. About her $8.7 million cheque and her pleas with Bailey to scrub in with her patient’s surgery. It was cute seeing her and George/Bailey having a debate about the money. Even funnier when she finally took the cheque to the bank to have it deposited. Not before she wailed and brawled (to the shock of the banker), and eventually snapped at the banker to deposit the cheque. I hope she is ready to move on.

Derek and Meredith had some hilarious scenes here. He finds her snoring a tad too hard to sleep with and she doesn’t know why he always will wake up before her. Basically still basking in happiness. I laughed when she realized Derek slept on George’s bed because he couldn’t handle the snoring. And I laughed even harder when she discovered that Derek always sleeps on the couch (when they are in Meredith’s house), set the alarm and climb back into bed to her before she wakes up. And if they are over at Derek’s trailer, he sneaks out to sleep on some hammock outside the trailer. Haha! Meredith told him she is a girl with abandonment issues and she wants him to sleep with her and not off onto some hammock.

So just as I thought that how sweet and funny this episode is, the writers slowly pull us back to reality. Kind of mean and hard to swallow but very true and real. Things start to go down a bit, for everyone. The episode ended with most of them either hanging their heads, having a distant look in their eyes or a face that seems to reel from pain. Seems like it aint so bright and shiny anymore? After the laughs, the characters once again seemed weighed down by the situations in their lives.

George needed his two roommates to hold his hands as he worried about his dad. Multi-organ failure doesn’t sound that nice a condition to be anticipating. The cancer has spread, and the surgery might be too extensive for him. Now George isn’t smiling anymore.

Burke and Christina stared at each other in silence. They really do have a queer relationship.

Bailey hung her head while the Chief looked on, worried about George’s dad and wondering if they had made the right choice to remove the tumor though it is dangerous.

The smug and cocky Mark for once looked defeated; he looked as if he needed some assurance. Addison told him she is sorry that he is hurting. He shot back that he wonders if she is sorry that HE is hurting or she is just sorry before walking away. Reeling from pain doesn’t seem like something that will come from him. And for this very once, I feel sorry for him.

Meredith is rattled, about her dad’s appearance in the hospital with his other family. In him she saw abandonment. And that feeling just kept coming stronger every time she met him. Lucky for her, at least Derek was there for her.

Oh, I predict things will get awkward for Alex and Addison in coming episodes. They have a thing for each other. And I salute Alex for ruining Mark’s morning by messing up his coffee. The only reason why he did that was to get back at Mark for being rude to Addison. I always suspect Alex has a sweet sensitive side that will be very charming. I also liked the scene that had both of them in individual lifts, thinking about what could happen in the nursery if the nurse didn’t walked in.

I can’t wait for next Thursday to come!
