I really can't with some of the people here. Half of the characters on the show have a God complex, treat everyone around them like shit and are being pretty crappy human beings and then you say that someone slapping Jo was overdue? Are you for real? What has she even done? If you find her annoying or can't relate to her, whatever, but she certainly hasn't done anything horrible to deserve being slapped. She's even "okay" with Alex spending all his time and energy on Meredith now even though for the past two years it was Jo who stood by his side during Jimmy, Private Practice, even the board when everyone voted against him. I honestly expected her to become a bitch and lash out on Meredith by now but she didn't even do that for some reason (Shonda had tweeted that she would but I guess that was another one of her lies). She may have been a bit immature with the patient but that's not a reason for her to deserve being slapped. <br /><br />I personally would slap Meredith for being the shittiest friend Alex has ever had this season. I'm so sick and tired of her treating him so poorly and for him to accept it. Being her person doesn't mean that he has to take her crappy treatment constantly. Meredith has been there for him in the past but never to this extent. And this season it's all about her being the sun and everyone having to bow down to her. The one time Alex needed her with the practice of his speech her research about Maggie was more important. I'm sorry but I can't stand it anymore. Alex Karev solely exists in s11 to support Meredith Grey, even when he's being accused of not believing in her (who didn't believe in him being not good enough for the board, Meredith? Who constantly complained about him not being a good enough person like Cristina was?). <br /><br />I just hope that now that Derek is back we'll see less of Meredith/Alex and more of Alex concentrating on his own relationship. If he still wants to marry Jo he better do something about it soon. I personally wouldn't want to marry him when he's more invested in his friend than me (weirdly enough this only happened this season. Last season he told Jo that they're the only family they need and that they don't need anyome else when Jo was the only one there for him and Meredith was too busy with her stupid fight with Cristina) so I hope that Jo will finally talk to him about that. As an Alex fan I don't like what they're turning him into this season: Meredith's bitch who'll only check up on his upset girlfriend when he's done dealing with Meredith's problems. He was nothing like that in the last two seasons. But at least he's an amazing doctor who fights for his patients (when they give him one once in 10 episodes) and a way too good friend for Meredith who doesn't deserve his friendship anymore IMO.
