  1. I have trouble believing a straight guy would be okay with his wife or girlfriend's baby daddy was rubbing her feet while he made her food. I just don't see any show trying to convince us that the partner of the woman would be okay with it. It would have been one thing if Mark wasn't totally involved in their relationship. Arizona didn't just step up, she had Mark as a third party in her relationship. It was just bad. As for a website where slurs are used, should we be taking these people seriously? They sound like people we would summarily dismiss if they used crazy racial slurs. I can't take people like that seriously because they sound childish and pathetic. I can't take someone like that seriously as an interlocutor because that language is cartoonish. One can have a discussion about the fact that Arizona's discomfort with Callie being bisexual without calling people "bisluts." Arizona isn't winning awards for chastity either by the way. If anyone has genuine concerns about the other cheating, Callie can rightly point out that since they've been married, Arizona has slept with two different women whereas Callie has only been with her. If Arizona comes for Callie on the "you'll cheat on me with a man," Callie can clap back easily. I couldn't believe how Arizona walked right into that one! Did anyone else detect a hint of shade during the "I feel" surgery? Obviously, they were sniping at one another, but Callie's "Okay, fine! Cut into the kid's leg" line seemed like she was throwing shade at Arizona on the grounds that she got pissed for Callie cutting off her leg when it was necessary but Arizona was doing it to someone else. Arizona's face after Callie said that was one of someone who felt shaded. It was hilarious.
  2. I see Arizona being unwilling to reenter her relationship with Callie on the grounds that she's slept with a man as unrealistic because it is a serious issue between them. Callie knows it's an issue too as she said in the episode, so if she gets with a guy, she should expect Arizona to freak because, well, she knows it's an issue. I view her just getting over that, coupled with the fact that Callie dumped her, with the same side-eye I do couples just managing to get over not wanting to have kids. Regardless of whether or not it is valid, it has been an issue their entire relationship and Arizona is deeply insecure about it. And, this would mean that Callie's only rebounds have been with men. Arizona is the one who once thought Callie was gonna dump her and said, "Are you gonna tell me you want to go back to penis?" She's super insecure about it and I can't see someone with that level of insecurity being okay with it, especially when she was already dumped. But, Shonda will do it anyway because couples come back from all sort's of awful shit. If Cristina can forgive Owen's outrageous behavior and vindictive cheating because she had an abortion, I can see them writing Arizona as being able to "forgive" something she really doesn't like too. Remember, we are in Shondaland! I think the outcry you're seeing over the prospect of Callie being a man is in response to the howls on the internet that Callie needs a good man in her life and always has. Indeed, there are those saying that Arizona also needs a good man and therefore they can't work because neither is a man. Callie getting with a guy would gratify those voices and validate them. Worst of all, there are those who believe Callie and Owen would be perfect because then Sofia would have a father and a normal family. I cringe at the thought of it because of that. It's just frustrating because I do not want to see those horrible little people and their smugness about it. These cries for Callie and Owen have existed for a while, but this breakup and this episode has cranked that up. But, I also think it is something that, like Callie's being pregnant with Mark's baby, that Arizona or any lesbian would put up with. For example, do you think that a straight man would be put in the position Arizona was in if his wife got knocked up by her BFF/fuck buddy? Of course not. The concept is absurd, but Arizona gets shit for being bitter the way a man would because her and Callie's relationship is relationship is invalid to a large portion of the fandom (see comment above about Callie and Arizona being "Mark's girls") which doesn't entitle her to being unhappy about the pregnancy. Yes, Callie got knocked up when they were broken up and Arizona has no right to complain, especially since she ditched Callie. But, her agreeing to be all in with Callie's baby with Mark would never have been acceptable for a straight man character. Much of what you see is a reaction to the homophobes, not necessarily with bisexuals. The problem is Callie and their relationship, especially as it was handled in this episode. But, I agree with you in part. I am sure that there is an element of bias against bisexual people because, as you point out, that is extremely common internet. Anonymity does allow people to act and speak in ways they'd never do in public, and let their asshole flag fly.
  3. The actors aren't known for always being accurate or knowledgable. Are they even far enough into post-production of future episodes for her to know that? I bet Capshaw didn't know about the cheating and, prior to last season she said that Arizona would be dealing with PTSD or that her cheating would be explained. That never happened. She clearly thought they were going one way and they went another (Arizona went to the GrOan bench of side chicks instead of a therapist). She way very well believe that Callie won't be with Owen because that's what she believes or has been told, but that doesn't mean very much because she isn't a writer or a psychic. I hope she's right and that we never see such a monstrosity, but I feel like the anvils are pointing in that direction.
  4. I have to say that Callie's farewell fuck was trifling as hell seeing as Arizona didn't know it was a farewell fuck. I don't think Callie and Arizona will have a custody battle. She and Arizona seemed to be somewhat decent co-parents even when Arizona was finding all purpose bitches, so I don't see either of them trying to keep Sofia away from the other. Callie and Owen would make me disgusted. He is one of the few people who has more issues than Arizona. He is as needy as Callie can be, he's unstable mentally, he can be vindictive the way Arizona is (he cheated on Cristina because she had an abortion after he verbally abused her in public), he's hung up on another woman, and Callie just now left her wife. And, Imma just keep it real, I don't want to see Callie with a man. Sorry, but I just don't want to see the woman in a lesbian relationship laying up with a man and then laying with up with Arizona again because Arizona doesn't like it and wouldn't move past it. I know if my wife and I split up for any amount of time and she slept with a man, it would be a total wrap for us. I don't see it for them if Callie gets with Owen or any other guy. It might not be fair to hold anything Callie does while they are broken up against her, but if she wants Arizona back, Arizona has a right to ring up those charges against her. Alas, as the anvils and SaRa's endless droning on about wanting to "explore Callie's bisexual journey" indicate, we'll have to accept the unrealistic scenario in which Arizona accepts her meandering with men. Yes, as we were reminded 90 million times, Callie is bisexual. Girl, we know that and did not need reminded of that you like men too. And this is why I hated the "Modern Family" story line. Callie and Arizona were not "Mark's girls." Callie and Arizona were in a relationship and the three of them shared a child. Theirs was not a polyamorous relationship and Mark was not a member of it. The only girl Mark had was Sofia, not Callie, not Arizona, and certainly not the both of them. Shonda's thirst to make this cute is why I side-eyed their relationship after Arizona made the dumb decision to reenter a relationship with Callie after Callie got knocked up by her BFF. Arizona didn't have a right to hold that against her because Arizona stupidly and cruelly dumped her in an airport so they weren't together at all, but she did have a right to decide to abandon all efforts to get her back because that is the motherlode of bad ideas. Arizona looked so thirsty and foolish for going back to her bisexual ex who was knocked up by her fuck buddy and best friend. Callie's bisexual dream, as Arizona called it, could only end up a nightmare for a lesbian relationship. Callie put her in a bad spot telling her that she had 24 hours to be in or out but, at the end of the day, Arizona made the spectacularly stupid decision to be all in instead of cashing in her chips and cutting her losses. Maybe I feel some type of way about it because I'm a lesbian and dislike how our relationships can't seem to exist on television without a man in it (remember Mark was part of Callie's "relationship" with Erica), but I just cringed. I felt bad for up until she was mean to Callie for saving her life, cheated on Callie and then picked up Leah on the Waiver Wire. It is impossible that they won't be put back together. It is just unrealistic in terms of the show that they won't be together. Yes, they've done each other dirty, are mean to one another, and have done things to one another that would keep most real life couples apart. But, that's not the case on this show. Meredith and Derek have been through some crazy shit, done mean things to each other, cheated, betrayed one another, they are currently fighting over career/child issues, and they are together. Granted, theirs is not a healthy relationship, but they are married and together. Shonda loves the drama. If Arizona could get pregnant and then use her new specialty to operate on herself Shonda would do it, so putting these incredibly dysfunctional people back together is nothing to her.
  5. Callie and Arizona need to be alone for a very long time. Neither of them should be sleeping with anyone else, dating anyone else, or in any sort of romantic relationship. Callie needs to do the following: 1. Learn to be on her own again. Last season she discovered that their half-assed attempts at fixing their marriage sucked the joy out of her life. She danced in her underwear and reconnected with friends. She should get back on that path. 2. Keep cultivating FRIENDSHIPS. I loved her relationship with Meredith and Derek last season. They were interesting, funny, and they allowed her to shine as a mom and a doctor. Though it was totally irresponsible of her to be out getting turnt up with Meredith, I guess we have to accept that that is what they do and roll with the fun. It was fun to see their friendship again. 3. Focusing on her career and being the good doctor she is. I liked her mentoring Jo because Callie's never had a disciple and it made Jo more interesting because she had more to do than being Alex's girlfriend. Callie did that last season and I don't want to hear her saying she can't. 4. Be a mom to the kid she has.* 5. Go to therapy and work out her many issues; take prescribed meds. Arizona should: 1. Stay out of any romantic relationships. Last year we saw her pick up a new jump off and that did absolutely nothing to improve her state of mind, make any genuine progress in her life, or help her relationship skills. 2. Keep cultivating her friendship with April and revive the great friend/mentor relationship she had with Alex. Their relationships were interesting, funny, and let us see the good side of Arizona. 3. Focus on her fellowship. She's an excellent doctor and has always been professional, skilled, and a good teacher. Maybe Shonda will let Arizona be great and show us that side of her again. (Doubtful). 4. Parent the child she has.* 5. Go to therapy and take medication. If Callie gets with Owen, I'm out and I don't think it would be realistic for Arizona to be with her again. Arizona was already insecure about Callie being with men, so that would just put them at the point of no return. Arizona would be right not to take her back after that because it's an issue between them that we can't really see going away. Fortunately, Owen can't knock Callie up because, despite them both having aching wombs, neither of them can carry a baby. Callie says she wants to love herself and, if that's true, getting with Owen would pretty much be the opposite of that. They are both hung up on other women, Owen is abusive, he's a liar, and he's a cheater. She should not leave one relationship with someone like that only to enter into another one. That therapist was terrible! Why would you tell a couple to give one another the silent treatment when they live in the same house with a child. Kids can sense those sorts of things. That sort of thing only breeds resentment in a relationship. Maybe if one of them gets lung cancer, they'll go to an oncologist who recommends they start smoking two packs of unfiltered cigarettes a day too! Arizona and Callie are out here taking L's left and right because they are both being basic. Let them be apart, regrow the parts of themselves we liked about them, and regrow the good parts of their relationship. I know that the good parts have been so few and far between that it's almost impossible to remember, but, since I've resigned myself to Shonda putting them back together for a number of reasons, so let us hope she will make their make up cohesive and not annoying. (She won't) I was so glad that the Puzzle Whisperer and her stalker ways were not in this episode. Poor Avery has pretty much been relegated to quarrels over board issues while everyone else is operating and doing doctor stuff. Stephanie has lost her relevance on the show which is a shame because I like her. I wish Alex could be paired with a grown up. * I will make an exception for getting drunk with Bailey because she's an excellent drunk who focuses on fistulas and pancreaseses.
  6. I refuse to accept this breakup as real because I know Shonda won't Callie ever truly be great. I hope Callie uses her freedom wisely, as we all know that Shonda will have her renewing her subscription for the Arizona's latest issues. I do not want her dating Owen or something like that because I would vomit and it would validate the homophobic screams of mouth breathers who've been calling for Callie to get a man in her life. Also, he has more issues than Arizona. Maybe this will be good for Arizona too. She was taking L's left and right this episode. Maybe she'll get to focus on her work and not be caught distracted or flatfooted now that she's no longer in this dumpster fire of a relationship. She's a good doctor and an interesting character in that respect, so I'm hoping this works out for her. Also, Callie's burn about Arizona cheating made me do the "Finish her!" shout from Mortal Kombat.
  7. Would anyone else be down for a Grey's-Maury crossover event? I would watch the shit out of that. What I wouldn't give to see Maggie running off the stage and collapsing when Maury says, "When it comes to 35 year old Maggie, Meredith, you are NOT the sister. Richard, you are NOT the father." While they are there for the DNA test, they can give Callie and Arizona lie detector tests because that's the only way we can see how either of them feels about things.
  8. It isn't about Alex vs. Bailey for me either, I was just combatting the silly and false notion that Alex was a victim of reverse racism because Shonda likes to write strong black women. We never hear Derek called a strong white man or attribute his success to a writer wanting to create a strong white man every time he accomplishes something. As for Alex suing over the death of his father, I thought his dad was married to someone else. If he was, his wife, not Alex, was his next of kin which would mean Alex had no standing to sue. You cannot sue to recover damages when you aren't the next of kin. I don't begrudge Alex his right to seek employment elsewhere. Indeed, those were two excellent opportunities for him, but the circumstances surrounding his leaving doest really rehabilitate the fact that he's left twice. He only wanted to come back this time because the grass was no longer greener. I think that the fact that he has left twice undermines any argument that he would be a reliable and permanent person because he's left twice already. Invoking the orphan program when he's left it twice just doesn't move me. I think there are reasons both Bailey and Alex are worthy of the position. I can see why someone would be reluctant to install him in that position. They had a right to be compensated for what happened to them. If they were so disloyal, they would have taken their money and let the place close. They basically gave that money back to keep it open. And, their loyalty is totally immaterial because they already have their seats and it doesn't matter. Cristina screwed up by making a unilateral decision to give Alex her seat. That was in violation of their charter or whatever it is they have that constitutes rules. Obviously, this was a ploy to set up a competition and enmity between Alex and Bailey so I can't take it too seriously. I think Arizona will give up her job to take that fellowship and I think Alex will get her position. And, Alex hasn't struck me as someone interested in administrative duties and lording power over others which is one of the reasons I like him. It actually is racist because I never hear the same things said when the white men get things on the show. Derek has had his share of mishaps. No one said Shonda had an agenda after Derek got a prestigious research position after having violated ethical and FDA standards. Remember when he said he would never be able to get approval for research again? Well, apparently that's not true and I never hear anyone saying Shonda has an agenda because of that. Owen presided over a disaster which caused the deaths of two staff members, one to lose a limb, came very close to ending another's career, and traumatized all of them. He repeatedly ignored telephone calls and pages which is extraordinarily irresponsible. Had he not done that, there is a good chance they wouldn't have been stuck out in the woods all that time because he would have known they didn't arrive. But, despite all of this, he kept his job. Oh, and let's not forget him attacking a patient in the ER. Does Shonda have an agenda because he got to keep his job instead of being the axe? It is racist to bring up race when a black character gets something but a white character doesn't. It is racist to attribute the show's creators or writers of having an agenda if a black character gets something. As I said, it is always presumed a white character, particularly a white man, deserves what he gets or has. What's Shonda's agenda for allowing Derek and Owen to get and keep what they have despite massive fuck-ups, both of which have cost that hospitals? Everyone on this show, withe exception of Alex, is a saint, not just Bailey. And, even Alex's rudeness and misogyny get excused because he's always proven to be right in the end. This is a show about the clash of saints and the so-called best doctors ever. I don't expect everyone here to get that because, lest we forget, there were racist remarks about Maggie's hair and suggestions that this show be moved to BET.
  9. When he accepted his fellowship at Johns Hopkins.
  10. Callie cheating on Arizona with Owen would actually be worse than her staying with Arizona. Callie's not a cheater and it would be character assassination for her to sleep with him. The anvils are there, but I think there might be something even worse in the works: Callie and Arizona asking Owen to be their sperm donor. Shonda better not try to pull that "modern family" shit on us again. That would make me stop watching the show for good. I always found it homophobic that their relationship did not get to exist without a man in the middle of it and, regardless of the fact that Callie's relationship with Owen is not like her relationship with Mark, it would still be the same. I do not think their relationship should have a de facto third party in it to give Owen the child and not one, but two, wives. I fear this will come to fruition because Owen was complaining about not having a wife and child which is exactly what Mark was complaining about when he and Lexie broke up. As crappy as Callie's current relationship is, it would be totally awful to have Owen part of it. It is grossly offensive to me that the lesbian couple on the show exists to fulfill the dreams of men who want access to uteruses and women. They would never do that to a heterosexual couple and it would be even more homophobic to do it a second time. Callie and Arizona need to repair their relationship, not drag another child into it. Their relationship is jacked up. And, W=we barely hear them speak of the child they have, so why would they have another? Poor Zola, Sofia, and Bailey need to run away. Maybe they can join Alex's orphan program because they don't have parents. Maggie can miss me with her outrage. What kind of lunatic would think that parachuting into people's lives and then setting off a bomb in their lives is not only acceptable, but something to which they should not and would not object vehemently? I never thought I'd see someone more entitled than Meredith, but Maggie has topped her. I can't understand why she can't understand why Richard might be reluctant to go all "Luke, I am your father" to a stranger. Maggie, girl, log out. Alex won't get his seat on the board, but he'll get to be head of Arizona's department while she goes off and pursues her new specialty. Let us all hope that she does have a Derek-esque meltdown because she loses the power and deference that comes with being a department head. When you want something, sometimes you have to give something up. Derek was a total dick. He made a choice not to take that job. I would think someone with knowledge of brain mapping would also have knowledge of air travel and Skype. Or, he could have prevailed upon them to set their study up in Seattle. He's not going to be Secretary of State or the Surgeon General which would actually make it necessary for him to be in DC. They can do that study anywhere in the world and since they wanted him so much, he could have suggested that idea which I thought of in like 30 seconds. I guess they were going for the fact that the NIH's stroke institute is in Maryland, but something tells me that the research team on this show doesn't know or care about that. Either way, he has no right to take this out on other people. He chose not to try to make it workable, he chose to turn it down, and now he doesn't like it. How is that anyone's fault but his own? At least he admitted that he was being petulant and mean because he's never taken a step back in his career. But, in a lesson Owen might try to learn, admitting you are being a jerk does not make being a jerk is okay. Much like unicorns, reverse racism does not exist. Just because a black woman gets something a white man wants, it does not dismantle the structural racism in this world. I know that the default position is that straight white men are entitled to anything they want and that anyone who gets it is automatically profiting from a vast and malicious sinister campaign to hold them down, but that's a fairytale. I guess the research showing that white people actually think that they are the most oppressed group in America is true. Take heart! You guys will always have first dibs on everything because it is a feature, not a bug, of our white supremacist society. It is hideously racist, especially in light of that filthy New York Times article about her being an angry black woman, to depict Shonda as just giving Bailey the board seat because she's "trying to write roles for strong black women." Bailey has actually been denied career advancement over and over. Her students have managed to eclipse her. Despite her being there longer, being chief resident, doing research that happened to intersect with explaining a congenital illness in those kids with heart problems, and Richard telling her he was grooming her to take over for him as chief of surgery, nothing has materialized for her by way of advancement. Bailey has been insufferable, but Alex has voluntarily terminated his employment at that hospital twice now. He's only desperate for that position because he was fired for being duplicitous and not telling his employer. It is hard to take someone seriously when he leaves every time the grass is greener. I don't begrudge Alex the right to take a fellowship at another facility or to take a job in a private practice, but that undermines anything he says about being dedicated or committed to the hospital. Bailey never up and left like he has. Bailey has been there longer than he has. He can't just invoke his orphan program when he wants to go back to the hospital when he had no compunction about abandoning it twice. Also, is that program even a thing anymore? I can't muster up much sympathy for Richard. Cheating on your wife and then bitching about not knowing of the alleged fruits of that affair doesn't move me. Was he just gonna bring Maggie into his marriage with Adele or something? Adele also didn't have a choice in whether she should share her husband with another woman. He's messy, Ellis was messy, and Maggie is messy. He may not have had a hand in raising her, but she has the worst qualities of both of them.
  11. That's not Alex's thing, it's his now former boss' thing.
  12. That was 149 years ago, so I'm not sure how that is relevant to now, and that's not even mentioning how that is a whitewashing of history (no pun intended). The Democrats were once infiltrated by the Dixiecrats who found a new home in the Republican party, especially after they implemented the Southern Strategy. They have ridden that misogynistic and racist horse to this very day. Also, Republicans have since disavowed the end of slavery what with some of them being signatories to a document declaring that black people were better off during slavery. Fitz couldn't possibly be elected even in the 1970s, let alone now. His election and ability to suffocate a Supreme Court justice are equally improbable, but they are both real, so we have to run with it. I am only here for Mellie these days. I've always loved her the most and Bellamy Young is slaying. I've also always thought that she was the best actress on the show. The character and the actress are so good. Did anyone think last night's "Lenny Skutniks" were based on Gabby Giffords and her husband? I thought of them immediately when they gave the background of the characters. If so, that is really shitty of Shonda. No, that's not true. And, it is actually worse than it is portrayed in the media because even in cases where white men should be earning less (having less education, not living on the coasts, and working in typically lower paying jobs), they still make more than white women, who're the women who earn the most. I know that there has been an insidious lie that white men earn less than Asian men, but that has been revealed as a lie. If you're interested in looking at the wage breakdown across racial and gender lines, especially as they intersect, here's a study.
  13. Apparently, we have different interpretations of what happened and the gravity of some of the choices they've made. This episode thread isn't the place to argue in detail about their history them so all I'll say is that every time Callie has let Arizona back into her life, it has been an unmitigated disaster for her. Callie said that it would be impossible to raise a new baby and for Arizona to pursue a new fellowship. Callie quite reasonably said that they would have to choose between the baby and the fellowship. What was wrong with that? You can't have two people pursuing advancements in their careers and have a new baby. Newborns require lots of attention and it will fall on one of them essentially to care for two kids on her own. I don't see how explaining that time management is important and that you can't always have what you want are bad things. Arizona apparently likes things in twos: women, children, and careers, to which Callie capitulated once again because when Arizona doesn't get what she wants, she leaves. Whether she disappears through the gates of an airport or between another woman's legs, she breezes. I know this opinion isn't popular among Arizona's stans, but I think by virtue of being with Arizona, Callie is losing. To paraphrase one of the humblest men of this generation, why won't Shonda let Callie be great? I think this episode also shows the value of the character being lost because when she and Arizona are together, Callie gets shunted off from the rest of the characters on the show. The character is much more interesting when she's interacting with the other characters. Her relationships with the McDreamys were far more interesting than this tired plot line. Her career and skills as a surgeon were, for once, were on display. The character has become far less interesting and integrated for these past two episodes because of being tethered to Arizona. I'm not checking for that. Arizona is not, according to the history of the show, pursuing a groundbreaking field. I remember Addison doing fetal medicine a long time ago, so I guess we'll go with the ret-con. Even if it were new, I don't see how that would foreclose the option of her cheating. You ain't neva lied! I never thought I'd miss Teddy, Mark, and Lexie, but I want Germany to deport Teddy back to the US and for someone to exhume Mark and Lexie's bodies. Aside from her refurbished virginity, I've come to like April but never did I think that I'd say there wasn't enough April in an episode. Maybe Dr. Crossword was brought on to make us love characters we previously disliked. If so, it has worked on me.
  14. Zola was the saving grace of this episode. Her cuteness made up for the suckitude of this episode. I'm not into Maggie. Are they really trying to sell us that she's better than Yang because I'm not here for it or her. "You did what Dr. Yang couldn't." Oh really? You mean what she couldn't with unavailable information, done by someone else, that Pierce found out via Aunty Google? I'm not checking for that at all. Leave the legacy of the great Cristina Yang alone, Grey's Writers. What she's done to Meredith is outrageous. She has jammed herself into Meredith's life by taking a job where they will have to work together and see each other everyday. Meredith has a choice between leaving her job or seeing this trifling person everyday which is no choice at all. Pierce is Ellis' and Richard's problem, not Meredith's. I don't know how she has the nerve to think this is okay. She saw that Meredith has a child, family, and a career, but she has no compunction about upending it. I can't believe her. We've seen some major self-righteousness over the years, but invading someone's life this way and forcing her to deal with you by sneakily stalking your alleged sister and taking a job where she works is up there with the worst of them. Every patient had a cardiac defect and she was able to save them all except the one she didn't deliberately save, huh? I've managed to grow to accept Meredith Sue and I will not adapt to a new one. Her hair is fantastic; too bad such lush and healthy hair is atop the head of someone I dislike. I could totally dig her hair being a character and wandering the halls without her. Alex's three attempts at being duplicitous have blown up in his face. I feel bad for him but dating a child doesn't help. He needs adult friends and relationships. Speaking of Jo, I thought she was Callie's protege. I liked her better then and I liked their professional relationship. Maybe Callie's professional relationship with Derek, which was very interesting, comes back. I don't want her isolated from the rest of the cast dealing with Arizona's fellowship and their baby. This couple has lost its spark since Arizona blew up their marriage and I just don't see it for them. Shonda doesn't want Callie to win. Now, I'm going to do something I thought I'd never do: defend Arizona and complain about how she's being treated. Even though Arizona is a cheating THOT and a terrible person, she was always portrayed as a professional and exceptional doctor who loved her "tiny humans" (I hate that term). She loved her relationships with them and making pudding runs for them. Over the past few years, they've made her more and more incompetent, mainly for the purpose of making Alex look like a great doctor. Now, it was to make Dr. Jigsaw Puzzle look good. Arizona didn't come from some ratchet program, she went to Johns Hopkins and she's a good doctor who, without explanation, has been dumbed down to make another doctor look good. What happened to pediatric surgery being the "brass ring" and the most competitive field? Now it is dull and she's totally uninterested? I can buy her being uninterested in Callie and Sofia, but I cannot buy this professional degradation. I notice this only happens to the women doctors, by the way. As much as it pains me to say this…Arizona deserves better. Let us hope she doesn't find a new jump off in her new fellowship. It was nice to see shades of the original Bailey. No crying, no meltdowns, and no agitated self-doubt. I want to keep this Bailey and never see Bailey -2.0 ever again. Yes, but her death episode was fantastic. I liked how she only had one word in the end. Because we don't care about Maggie and because Grey's can't pull off an episode like that, I doubt Maggie's episode farewell episode, if there is one, will ever be redeemed in such an epic fashion.
