Half the time it seems like Meredith doesn't even like Nick. Simone and Kwan successfully persuaded the suicidal intern med student to come down from the roof, Lucas got the win with the surgery, Jules is fitting nicely into Winston's service, and Yasuda - ran the fasttrack pit and got puked on by drunk med students all night. What was the point of that?

Nashville to Paris was a weird episode, not only for the fact that they chose to move to an entirely different country when Wife is eight months pregnant with Baby #2. It was strange because the story the realtor gave was that the listing for the third house fell through so they ended up looking at a different house than the one they'd planned. The dorm-style kitchen had no oven or stove, it had a washer but no dryer and the bedroom in the attic had no closet yet the toddler was apparently supposed to sleep up there. Both the house hunters and the realtor hated on first look and no one even pretended like it was a viable option for the search. They ended up choosing the second choice they looked at, the apartment closest to the city center that had a metro-station nearby that would take Wife straight to work. There was a yard in the back for the two hundred-pound (each) Golden Retrievers, but it had no bathtub. The end scene had the Husband procuring a large bucket/shipping container (?) from somewhere, which, okay, that might work for the first couple of weeks or months with a newborn but not so much with a toddler. (Baby #1 was almost two, they said.) Husband was going to be a Stay-at-Home Dad and the house had only two bedrooms.

The bolded part is for emphasis. I wonder if it came up in the meeting with the hospital lawyers that the surgical resident and a department head failed to answer their pages after the attending that was in the OR at the time fainted and needed medical attention herself. (It's not like Simone and Lucas were doing the surgery because they thought they knew best and didn't need to wait for attendings, like Schmidt when he didn't wait for Webber and killed that patient he was operating on.) Jo and Link could easily lie and say they were with another patient instead of starring in their own Hallmark movie but I'm still shocked that aside from Yasuda calling her out Jo/Link aren't facing consequences for what they did. When Eliza Minnick was around and let Stephanie be lead on a surgery and the patient ended up dying, Arizona told Minnick that she had to take this one because otherwise Stephanie would internalize the guilt and possibly want to quit the program. And Minnick was in the OR for that surgery. Jo and Link both didn't answer their pages or worse, didn't notice them, because they had better things to do. And aside from Jo's sad face when Yasuda called her out and a line of dialogue to Link neither of them seem to feel all that responsible for what happened.

I had already come to terms with the fact that we weren't going to hear her talk about Alex but to not even have a line of dialogue about Callie or Sofia was lame. If Arizona isn't going to be back in other episodes, it was a strange narrative choice not to update the audience at all on her personal life. Why is Yasuda still getting screwed out of OR time when she did the least wrong of all the interns?

Antonia didn't get her start on FN? (Full disclosure, I'm not 100% sure what chefs would separate into what brackets.)

One side of the bracket is Chefs That Originated On Food Network and the other side is Chefs That Got Their Start on Other Networks/Shows (Top Chef, MasterChef, etc.). Would that work?

Same! No disrespect to Maneet or Britt, they both seem perfectly nice people and fantastic chefs, but I wish Antonia vs. Jet was able to be the grand finale.

I remember that Simone and Lucas were in the room operating on Sam without a resident/attending after Teddy collapsed, and I know that Blue went against Maxine's DNR because she was Jules' favorite person. I don't remember what Yasuda did to be in trouble. Is she guilty by association or what?

The more I think about it the more absolutely annoyed I am by the father/stepfather and don't see how this won't end with resentment from every side. Especially by the kids. It didn't seem like they got any say in the move in the first place, the house chosen or the school they went to (the boy had a line about "their parents saying this was the best school or whatever"). Editing plays a part, of course, but editing can't put words in your mouth that you didn't say, and when the wife/kids watch this episode back they'll get to hear their husband/father saying that him getting beach access was more important to him than whether or not the house was within walking distance of the school. The kids don't have their school, their friends or their support system (how many times in a year will Wife's family come to visit?) and the amount of times the father/stepfather worried out loud that the family wouldn't like this move in the end it probably wasn't a joke. I don't see this ending in the picture-perfect experience of everybody loving New Zealand as much as he does that the father wanted so badly. The episode came across as them moving because HE wanted to move, the rest of the family be damned, and I agree that the wife will be following the kids back to the U.S. as soon as possible.

I don't think it mattered in the end what house they chose. Those two teenagers (high-school aged?) are going back to the States the minute the year their dad bargained them all into is over if not before.

Here's another NCAA rule I don't understand - an Illinois player committed an offensive foul on the same possession another Illinois player made a basket but the basket counted because it left his hand before the foul?

California to Uvita, Costa Rica: I'm sick so I'm not in the best mood and have less patience than usual but I wanted to smack this woman five minutes into the episode. Moved her family including two young boys to Costa Rica [the jungle, she was very specific about that] based on vibes or dreams or what have you so she could start (START!) a holistic wellness/lifestyle business. Did I mention the business hadn't even started yet aside from Husband helping her with website content? They picked House #2 that was $200/month over budget despite them having no money and depending on savings to finance the move and rental budget, and the house they chose was up in the mountains twenty minutes away from the nearest pharmacy/shops/etc. (They timed the drive down). The road itself was janky and they'd get tired of that drive within the first few weeks, I'm sure.

Perk mentioned the 2003 draft so I'm assuming someone from that draft, but I can't place him, either. EDIT: Google tells me that is T.J. Ford. Eighth pick, Milwaukee. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren from OKC. Jalen Brunsen, NYK.

The game ended how it started: missed shots and turnovers everywhere for both sides. Oy. And now both teams were equally bad enough that it's going to overtime. Double oy.

Hereby requesting more info before I change the TV to that channel, lol. Edit: Nevermind. The score is 19-18 at halftime. Yeesh 😬

Samford vs. Kansas: clear block or foul at the end? Replay showed Samford got all ball, but they called it a foul and Kansas got the game-winning free throws.

I don't pay much attention to college basketball outside of March Madness but - if this was even halfway representative of what Virginia was like all season I understand your angry emoji. What is the NIT tournament? Is that like winning the G-League Finals vs the NBA Finals, in NBA terms?

One of the 10-seeds in the First Four matchup, Virginia, only has 21 points midway through the second half. 😬

Don't look now, but the Rockets have won six in a row and are only 2.5 back of GSW for that 10th spot. Even if we don't make it we can at least make the Lakers and the Warriors work for it. Lol.

It sounded like Shirley didn't understand what 'Sunday supper' meant or was supposed to be; at least that's how editing made it come across.

ESPN is so shamelessly desperate for the Lakers to move up out of play-in position. Look out for them to get a +500 free throw differential as the season winds down 🙄

Detroit wins, @Magog, to make it to 10 wins 😥

@Magogyou might enjoy this!

I know the narrative reasons behind it, of course, but it annoyed the crap out of how the show wanted us to think that Wiley who was a BABY at the time of the reveal never had any trauma from being taken away from the only two parents he knew and sent to live with who was essentially a stranger to him.

taps microphone for @Magog Detroit had the ball up one with seventeen seconds left, turned the ball over twice in the last twelve seconds, New York made a layup and Detroit fouled him. NY missed the FT but got the rebound and Detroit fouled again. NY made 1/2 that time. End result: Detroit loses by two.
