S2 Ep 3: Make Me Lose Control (Recap)
Screened Monday 20 February at 9.30pm
Meredith and Cristina jog through the park complaining about their
relationships. At work Alex and Izzie laugh together as the others
look on in wonder. Izzie invites Alex to come watch Meredith's
mother's surgery tapes but still denies she likes him.
Richard comes back to work but Derek won't clear him for surgery. Addison walks in just as Derek calls her Satan. Richard asks her to stay to cover maternity leave.
Burke and Cristina work on a patient with heart problems while Alex deals with a patient, Kelly Rose, who has uncontrollable blushing. Whenever she mentions Dr. Sheppard she goes bright red.
An uncontrollable patient is brought in, it is Alice Grey. Meredith runs into the locker room, her secret out. Miranda puts her on paperwork for the rest of the day but Meredith insists she's fine.
Izzie is assigned to a premature and severely ill baby who is under the care of Addison and Derek. When they argue about their personal life, Izzie leaves. Derek decides the baby is too far gone to operate. Addison disagrees.
Burke reluctantly vacates Richard's office. Meredith asks Richard to look at her mother's chart and apologises for not telling him about her sooner. Alice won't let George examine her. She thinks he is her husband, Thatcher - Meredith's dad.
In surgery with Burke, Cristina looks unwell. Alice goes berserk at George to the horror of Meredith. Richard tells George he does look a bit like Thatcher.
Alex is sweet with Izzie but then rude to a nurse. George asks him to help him with Alice. Alex pretends that he is a fellow surgeon and Alice lets him examine her. Izzie says it doesn't look good for the baby, Addison agrees.
Whilst watching Burke's surgery Izzie tells Miranda about how
little the interns actually know about each other. Then,
Cristina collapses in the operating room. Miranda and Izzie
rush to her aid. Cristina tells Izzie that she is pregnant.
Addison tells Richard that she is leaving. George tells Richard
that Alice may have liver cancer. Izzie asks for Addison's help
with Cristina so George realises she's pregnant.
Derek refuse to clear Richard for surgery so he can't do the biopsy on Alice. Meredith realises her mother my have cancer. Addison and Miranda operate on Cristina. Burke rushes to see Cristina but Richard makes him do the needle biopsy for Alice.
As Meredith and Alex scrub out she yells at Derek for always apologising. Alice thinks that Burke is Richard as he puts her under for her biopsy.
Addison sees Derek with the baby. He says that if she makes it through the night that they will operate. Addison says she wants to get back together and kisses him. She says she still loves him.
Burke puts a rush on the biopsy. He sees Cristina's operation on
the board and now knows that she was pregnant. Miranda watches over
Cristina. She wakes up. Miranda says she had an extra-uteran
pregnancy and her left fallopian tube burst. Addison did everything
she could but had to remove the tube.
Kelly wakes up with Meredith and doesn't blush when Doctor Sheppard
is mentioned. Alex tells Meredith that she can talk if she needs
to. She tells him that Izzie likes him and admits that she wants
her mother to have liver cancer so she can get morphine stop her
suffering.
Izzie, George and Meredith wait for Alice's biopsy results.
Izzie says that she feels left out with Meredith and Cristina.
Meredith says she now understands that Alex is different once you
get to know him.
Alice still thinks George is Thatch so he plays the part and stands
up for himself and Meredith. Alice apologises. He says that she
doesn't have cancer.
Meredith is crying as Derek approaches. She says that hating him is exhausting. She kisses him and says she doesn't want to do it any more. George gets on Alice's bed and she hugs him. Burke is all choked up thinking about Cristina. He walks past her room but doesn't go in because all the interns are with her.
