Grey's Friday

Last night’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy

There weren't many medical emergencies on this week's episode of "Grey's Anatomy." Instead, a different kind of tension rippled through the halls of Seattle Grace Hospital.

In tightly written scenes that gave much of the cast chances to shine, the doctors struggled with psychological threats rather than corporeal ones. Comic moments were few.

Bailey, Burke, Derek and Izzie each faced down their demons. Although they still seemed broken as the episode ended, each character emerged the stronger for it.

While attending a monthly meeting where the staff discusses patients' deaths, the interns watched Bailey suffer a harsh grilling at the hands of other doctors. The subject: the interns' complicity in Denny Duquette's death and Bailey's failure to control them.

The grilling left Bailey shaken, wondering whether motherhood has dulled her ability as a doctor. But some soul-searching and a pep talk/apology from the Chief reinvigorated her. By the episode's end, she found the strength to counsel a similarly self-doubting mother ("Six Feet Under" alum Justina Machado) who was suffering from breast cancer.

Burke, still experiencing hand tremors, was drafted to handle emergency heart surgery. He struggled through the operation his first since being shot with a major assist from Cristina.

Burke's tremors remain a secret. As his hand faltered, Cristina asked permission to finish stitching the patients' heart. Onlookers were surprised Burke agreed. But they seemed to assume he'd made this unorthodox move simply because Cristina is his girlfriend.

Burke also confronted Izzie, who repeatedly swore she's doing fine and claimed she'd come to the hospital only to clean out her locker. (She was nearly manic, telling everyone within earshot about the $8.7 million check. Trouble was, she couldn't bring herself to deposit it, knowing the money would make reclaiming her career even harder.)

When she arrived at Burke's office, he bristled at her words of apology. "You have two good hands and you aren't using them. Feel guilty about that," he hissed.

Izzie watched in awe as Cristina stitched the heart and it prompted her to finally see the Chief. He's ready to take her back, so expect to see Izzie in scrubs very soon.

As for Derek, his divorce was proceeding amicably until Addison blurted out that her affair with Mark wasn't just a one-night stand. "I want never to see you again," Derek told her. He walked away looking shattered.

Unfortunately, Meredith chose precisely that moment to tell Derek she dumped Finn. To her dismay, what should have been great news barely registered on Dr. McDreamy's chiseled face.
