"Grey's Anatomy" mini-cap 608: "Invest in Love"

bad machine

Getting a text at 3:00AM doesn't alarm me. Usually, it's just some drunk friend letting me know they're eating pizza with Jesus, decided we should form a rock band, or in a panic because they've lost their phone.Texting me they've lost their phone. Yeah, I know. But when the phone rings in the middle of the night, it's never good news. It usually means someone is in trouble, hurt or worse. And when you're a surgeon and your pager goes off, it means all three and there's usually no pizza involved.

Callie and Arizona are fast asleep — Arizona peacefully REM-ing like an angel and Callie hanging precariously near the edge, snoring ever so daintily — when a pager goes off.

Arizona wakes with a start, sees it's Callie pager and not hers, gives her girlfriend a shove, and gleefully gets back under the warm covers as Callie tumbles off the bed. Arizona's glee is short-lived because her pager goes off a moment later. Great. This is not the fun way to be woken up in the middle of the night. Guess there's no time for a quickie when lives are at stake — or so I'm told.

At the hospital, Arizona's pregnant patient has been in a car accident, giving her preemie a stroke. Callie meets a girl who fell off her roof and broke one bone for every state in the union. They each try to rush their patients into the one open OR. Gurney races!

Owen grabs Callie and warns her to beware of Cristina because he didn't page her. Knowing how she hates to be left out, she's sure to be on a rampage. But it's much worse than that; she's giving him the Asian cold shoulder.

Cristina, Callie, Dr. Potato Head and Vanessa Williams gather 'round to hear Arizona deliver one of her many soliloquies. Someone in the writers' room likes Jessica Capshaw as much as that other person in casting likes ginge. She tells the group why pediatrics is so much better than grown-up medicine.

Arizona: They believe in magic. They play "pretend." There is fairy dust in their IV bags. They hope and they cross their fingers and they make wishes. And that makes them more resilient than adults.

So, they're gay men?

Callie looks on, smiling warmly with girlfriend pride at Arizona's sensitive nobility. Cristina is, well, Cristina.

During rounds, we meet Wallace, a sickly 10-year-old nerd with no intestines and a head for algebra. His parents are so impressed with his care, they call a meeting with the Chief, the douchey Mr. Suit from the hospital board and Arizona and promise a 25 million dollar donation to the pediatrics department. The Chief and the suit instantly get erections, while Arizona is humbled and rendered speechless. Therein lies the difference.

Wallace's parents tell Arizona, "Happy Birthday!" because it's all about her and not at all about the self-serving or bumbling guys. The sight of the Chief's face falling faster than his woody is worth more than 25 large — it's priceless.

At home, we learn that Callie is not only a surgeon, she's a short order cook. While serving up breakfast to roommate Cristina, and sleepover boyfriend, Owen, providing coffee to neighbor Mark, and sleepover girlfriend, Lexie, Callie discovers she's the last to know that Arizona's birthday is on Friday.

After Arizona leaves, Callie immediately starts plotting birthday festivities. Mark warns everyone surprise parties are the worst, saying, "They're hostile." Nothing good ever came from a surprise party. I tend to agree. While the thoughtfulness and planning are not lost on me, a having people leap out at me in the dark is about as fun as going through a haunted house on Halloween, which I also hate. What's wrong with a nice dinner with friends, and later, lots of burfday sex? We can even skip dinner.

Elsewhere, Derek keeps showing up at work, despite the fact that the Chief fired him. It's his daily reminder no one respects his pretend authority. One thing the Chief can do fairly well is be the accounting department's messenger. He hands Alex a stack of Izzie's medical bills, totaling $200,000. And that's with the employee discount. If you get sick in the US, you had better be really rich or really poor. Because everyone in-between will be charged $15 for one aspirin. Enjoy the Jell-O.

Pixie Reed tries once again to buddy-up to Alex but he wants her big saucer eyes and hair-color-not-found-in-nature 'do to tell it to someone who cares. Meanwhile, it turns out that the girl who broke nearly every major bone is also suffering from the invincibility and arrogance of youth: she was high on mushrooms when she fell. "You're bummed because it reminds you of your own infallibility, she tells her shocked parents, "I'm bummed, too." Were we all that bratty at her age?

Also bummed? Wallace's parents. He's taken a turn for the worse and Arizona strongly advises against any more surgeries. The Chief, seeing 25 million dollars slipping away, one Benjamin at a time, orders Arizona to do the impossible surgery anyway, thereby completely reversing his position from last week, when he fired Derek for doing the exact same thing. How this guy ever got a corner office is anyone's guess.

Up in maternity, Alex is comforting the only female that doesn't piss him off: an infant with a grave prognosis. Bailey notices the baby's vital signs are improving the more Alex holds her. Theorizing his "kangaroo hold" is helping the little thing thrive, she tells him to take his shirt off.

Skin-on-skin could provide even better results. And that, people, is how Naked Twister was invented.

In surgery, Callie, Owen, Cristina and Vanessa Williams are amazed that Supergirl talks to her parents the way she does.

Owen: The mouth on this one. If I talked to my parents like that?
Callie: Oh, my father would have — you don't even want to know.
Cristina: I had perfect grades, perfect record. I said whatever I wanted, did whatever I wanted. My parents couldn't do a thing about it.
Vanessa Williams: Wanna hear about my childhood? [long silence] No? OK, I'll just think about it quietly in my own head.

Maybe Vanessa's not so bad, and I should learn his name. It's Jackson Avery.

Everything looks good with Supergirl's new metal pins and parts when she goes into distress. The doctors see an air embolus in her chest. Owen calls for someone to page cardio, Cristina's old stomping grounds. Chomping at the bit to do it herself, she eyes the rib spreader like it's a big hunk of crack. Owen orders her to stand down, but she can't resist and goes in, rogue.

Two seconds later, the embolus is gone, and the other surgeons are staring at Cristina, horrified. Oh no, she d'int. Oh yes, she did.

Afterwards, she has it out with Owen, who hasn't caught on that his girlfriend used to be somebody. He warns her he'll have to tattle to the Chief.

Cristina: [laughs] He's not going to fire me.
Owen: Of course not, because you're invincible.
Cristina: No. He's not going to fire me because the last time I did an open thoracotomy for an embolus was with him. In his OR. Only he was giving me words of encouragement. Not screaming in my ear.

Owen may not think his girlfriend needs emotional support, but lesbians do things differently. Arizona is getting her game face on for Wallace's surgery when she asks Callie to tell her she's great. You are great, Arizona Robbins. You, your passionate soliloquies, those baby blues, your pretty blond, hair. It's all good.

Later, at home, Arizona is waiting for Callie. Callie walks in the door and going off the look on her girlfriend's face, assumes the surgery failed. But no, the surgery went fine. It's much worse than that. Much worse. Put on your helmets.

Arizona: What I needed from you tonight was support, for once. And you weren't here.
Callie: OK, you're scared and so, you're picking a fight. You get that, right?
Arizona: Yeah, fine, whatever. But I have helped you through crisis after crisis and once I thought that I could come here tonight and I thought that I could get something.

In walk Owen and Cristina, having a fight of their own. Owen warns Cristina, (do I detect just a hint of wishful thinking?) that her luck will run out someday and storms out in a huff. Arizona gets paged back to the hospital and leaves in her own cloud of righteous indignation. Cristina turns to Callie and says, "Bitches."

Arizona goes back into surgery with Wallace when the Chief comes barging in, asking if he can help save the ~~money~~ boy. Arizona didn't want to risk Wallace's life in the first place and yells at him, "Get the hell out of my OR!" And keep going until you hit Portland.

Let's see. Derek went rogue, got fired and refuses to leave. Cristina is cranking open ribs while Owen is yelling not to. Bailey is asking guys to take their shirts off, and Alex complied. At least someone's orders are being followed.

Short on intestines and time, little Wallace dies. Arizona leaves it to the Chief and Mr. Suit to break the news to his parents, knowing their ass-kissing serves the hospital better than her saying they should sue. Cristina pays Meredith a visit and complains about Owen's blindness to her awesome skills. Meredith happily flips through an issue of Seattle Liver and tells her BFF it's only because Owen cares.

Meredith: I'm dying to get out of this bed and cut, but you did an unauthorized procedure in an OR. I mean, you're an amazing surgeon, but if anything had gone wrong, that would have been your career. I mean, he cares about your career. [giddy] He's in love with you.
Cristina: I hate married, happy you.

Back in the hospital, former Westies, Reed and Avery admit they're crushing on Gracies, Alex and Cristina, respectively. Avery has good taste, Reed, not so much. What is it about those girls who go for the nastiest, most insulting jerk in the room? If anyone see's Reed's self-esteem, please page her. Meanwhile, Alex may have found the only people he can actually tolerate: those too young to talk or who's days are numbered. Preferably, both.

After her terrible day, Arizona goes to Callie's, where it only gets worse. Surprise! Arizona has the predicted reaction and flees.

Outside, Callie tells her not to worry, she'll explain to everyone. This is where any other couple on earth would hold each other, or at least hug once, but this is Grey's Anatomy and we don't do that here. Arizona leaves in tears and Callie goes back upstairs, where Mark is kissing Lexie and Avery is busy hitting on Cristina by doing the same. This show makes South of Nowhere look like lesbian porn by comparison.

Cristina finds Owen in the hospital and apologizes. She asks, "Please come home with me," choosing the adult who won't always tell her she's awesome over the better-looking young gun who would. If that's called growing up, I want no part of it.

Meanwhile, Wallace's parents tell Arizona, the Chief and Mr. Suit that they'll still get the $25 million - not because Mr. Suit is so far up the father's ass, all you can see are his Italian loafers - but because of Arizona. She joins the mom in Wallace's bedtime ritual: "Bad dreams, bad dreams, go away. Good dreams, good dreams, here to stay."

Arizona comes home to find Callie asleep on the couch, wearing hot hot hot lingerie and surrounded by party decorations and doughnuts. Let's do a ritual of our own: "Bad scripts, bad scripts, go away. Calzona, calzona, show they're gay." It only works if you say it three times.

Arizona says quietly, "I love you."

Callie: You do?
Arizona: I do.
[fade to black]
Callie: I love you, too.

Holy s--t, it worked.

Great recap, bad scripts/ Calzona thing was perfect, definitely captured my feelings on the matter- let them get physical on screen! I was pissed with how Cali was acting it was like she was oblivious to what was going on, but i guess it allowed Arizona to show how epically cool she is, though I'm not sure if I would be so forgiving so quickly.

I also enjoyed this episode because it finally felt like a normal one after the last two episodes that were so focussed on a certain plot/surgery, I like this style better.

I don't know who has conceived thier relationship but the men on Grey's are more caring than Callie is towards Arizona. It's like watching a straight couple with va jay-jay's than it is watching a gay couple. I'm waiting for them to GET REAL.

Great recap, as usual had me laughing from start to finish :)

This ep rocked for multiple reasons.

1: Calzona ILYs!

2: MASSIVE amounts of Arizona screen time

3: The Chief yet again getting a metaphorical slap in the face. Just leave already you miserable git.

And just for general awesomeness that comes with every episode of Grey's. Also, as if I didn't think it before, I'm now fairly sure I'm actually in love with Arizona.

Ok.

1) If the Asian cold shoulder is any colder than the African-American cold shoulder, then I do NOT wanna be privy to it.

2) "Short on intestines and time, little Wallace dies" - shouldn't have made me laugh, (or maybe it was) but it did.

3) "I love you. " "You do?" "Yes." - for the next three days, my friend and I kept saying 'you do?!' in that same 'I don't deserve!' voice Callie used. Sorry, but it was.....a tad pathetic. Sweet, but she sounded .... like she wasn't used to not being treated like shit. Which, if we're lookin at O'Malley, I suppose there's some truth to that.

4) HOORAY FOR LINGERIE!!! Bless it.

Brilliant recap girl, much better and funnier than the actual episode it has to be said! That broken bone girl was hilarious, id love to be able to get A's in every exam, teach people to get A's, be an Olympian or whatever she was and be on crack at the same time, impressive mulitasking on her part.

In fairness though, at least they're giving the lesbians some screen time, it's a start and the one where the Dad tries to pray away the gay was very gay-positive, I hope they have more like that! :-)

In agreement with your statement "This is where any other couple on earth would hold each other, or at least hug once, but this is Grey's Anatomy and we don't do that here." I totally agree. I would have so been in my girlfriends arms and trying to hug, comfort, love, make it all better...not going back up stairs.

I am glad that Callie was waiting up for her...the lingerie was hot...the hat was cute, the I love you was worth it!

I also have to say that I loved Grey's this week because it was the Callie and Arizona show...making up for the lack of screen time these ladies have not been given by Shonda & Company this season so far!

Thanks for the recap! Lisa

OK,

I thought the episode was great. Loved the fact that the show was mostly about Arizona, it is nice to see character development with her. HOWEVER, I agree with what is being said many places. There needs to be a little more affection shown between these two characters. I understand the writers/developers do not want to allienate loyal viewers who MAY find it offensive to see two women being affectionate with each other. BUT, I feel in order to make these two believable there has to be a little more affection shown. I am not saying we need to see them making out (of course I WOULD LOVE IT!!) but, a simple touch...or embrace...would be sufficient. I am not asking for much....am I?

Well, I'm not 100% sure if Arizona actually GOT donuts for Callie when George died, but she did tell her to eat lots of donuts, b/c it's what she did when her brother died. I kinda thought that donuts were random, but maybe she had them b/c she remembered that that's what Arizona scarfed down when her brother died...if so, Callie gets 5,498 awesome girlfriend points!

I didn't like her much as Nadia on the L Word (Bette and Tina for life!), but I adore her as Arizona Robbins.

She's such a talented actress, and beautiful of course. As is Sara Ramirez. I get that they don't want to alienate their straight fans, but Grey's also has a gay following and the people at ABC need to recognize that, and we're just as loyal as the Straighties.

I hope the declaration of love on this episode is going to lead to more Calzona screentime and a healthy relationship. At least give us some hugs. Or hand holding. We're already invested in these characters. Throw us a bone, Shonda.

I'm absolutely in love with whoever writes the dialogue for Arizona and of course with Jessica Capshaw for delivering said dialogue so wonderfully as Arizona!

First with the speech she gave Callie's Dad and now with the awesomeness of this episode, Arizona is quickly becoming my favorite doctor of all time... I was even disappointed with the previews showing Izzie's return next week, 'cause all i'm wanting is more Calzona!

Jessica Capshaw + Sara Ramirez=HOT (just need some more kissing and affection between the two and I'd be even happier).

Okay, first a question I been asking myself seeing that episode:

How can you work in a hospital and NOT have health insurance? I know that no health insurance in general is kinda normal in the US, but as a doctor? Common...

Anyways, for the rest...more touching would be nice, but hey, Owen and Christina are barely talking to each other. If not for that episode I'd be wondering if they're still together. And it's been the about the first time this season that Marc and Lexie kissed...Meredith's not even a real part of the show at the moment and still she and Derek are about the only couple that's actually touching each other each episode.

Kinda weird this season so far. But I love Jessica Capshaw. Arizona's rapidly becoming my favorite character on Grey's.

The $200,000 is what is owed AFTER insurance paid it's part. My guess is that it's supposed to be so high because of how aggressively they had to treat the cancer.

Alex even asks the chief about it, b/c he can't believe that he has to pay it....mentioning how they both work at the hospital and have insurance, and the chief says how insurance doesn't cover everything.

As much as I'd love to see more physical affection, I am liking it the way it is too. Honestly I'd rather see medical drama anyway, not soft-core porn, when watching Grey's. It is abundantly clear that they are together - they were shown sleeping together, the same as Meredith and Derek, the term "girlfriend" was used at least a couple times, they did kiss, albeit briefly, and said I love you to each other. I'm happy. Also, Callie and Arizona aside, I thought it was a great episode. The stuff with Wallace was really touching, although I don't know if I can handle all this Arizona-centricity if all her pediatric patients keep dying!

I recently re-watched some old Buffy episodes, and was reminded of how little affection Willow and Tara were allowed to show each other for most of their time on the show. And despite that, they were and maybe still are one of the best representations of a lesbian couple on TV.

Maybe it's that, maybe it's my optimism, maybe it's the fact that I don't really feel the need to see other people having sex, but geez do we have to be so depressed all the time? There's little enough representation on TV, and then I watch an episode of Grey's that makes me oh so happy, and I come here expecting to see people agreeing with me, and instead, just griping.

Go watch Ellen and Portia and take a note. Find the happiness.

I'm happy about it as well :)

You're not the only one who enjoyed the episode.

Could I have used a little more physical affection? Sure, but I didn't really think that it was lacking in any extreme ways. Overall, I feel like they're more concerned with the 'emotional' part of their relationship than with just sex. With some of the other couples, it's like you know they're together because they have sex all the time. That defines their relationship. Callie & Arizona's seems deeper than that. I think that Arizona's had some great dialogue lately that I've absolutely loved, and I really enjoy the subtlety to their relation. The glances...the smilies...the facial expressions. I find it all very fulfilling :)

Couldn't have said it better. Especially after watching Portia and Ellen on Oprah yesterday. What the writers/creators have built with this story is a relationship that's so much more than sex. They don't need shove it everyone's face all the time.

Maybe it's Arizona's perkiness rubbing off on me, or maybe I just really am becoming more of an optimist as well, but seriously, can we stop with the complaining? Find the happiness, indeed.

I have rethought my "we need to see more' statement and have to say, the lack of affection is intriguing. Perhaps leaving us wanting more is a good thing!

Kerry and Legaspi didn't have TONS of affection....Kerry and Sandy, same thing. So, I SUPPOSE this can work too! HAHA.

I will take a cold shower and embrace the "innuendo's"

:o)

yes, yes

Putting aside the fact i think Arizona defines the word 'awesome' i thought she was amazing in this episode. Callie and Arizona are the main reason i watch Grey's (and if McDreamy happens to pop into shot, it's no problem) but i only ever watch the clips put together of them on Youtube. Partly because we are years behind in the Uk, and it's quiet annoying, im not even sure what channel it's shown on here. Anyway, i really enjoy this storyline but, like probably everyone else here, i want to see more than holding hands. I think im getting holding-hand-syndrome, when someone mentions them i automatically think of them holding hands. We don't even get that many hugs.

I'm waiting for a kiss, just one kiss!
(This seems familiar, i just can't think - wait, Olivia and Natalia :D)

But i did really enjoy this episode, well what i saw of it. And the ending was perfect, i sat with a smile on my face afterwards. Can't wait for the next one. :)

Awesome!!

Lmao...wtf! All eyes are on Arizona Robbins!! I love this eps so much but however can they just give us more love-dovey thingy? I mean when she cried and ran outside, can callie at least hug her? or i guess this never made it in this ep..

but I am happy with the way this ep turn out to be! ^_^

Yes, I may be a 34 year old dyke who loves seing action in a relationship...

But more than that, I am truly appretiative of how they are developing this story line... Slowly, taking the steps one at a time... not getting to hot and heavy...

And what does that bring us to??? A solid lesbian relationship on NETWORK TV!!!

Yes, there is a part of me that would love to see them making out... but what they are giving us is alot of the sweet stuff... They are one of the couples in the group... that is who they are... Ok, their issues may be a little different... but they are addressed in a respectful way.

One of my favorite scenes between them was actually last week durring Shepard's surgery... They were up in the gallery... holding hands while they watched the surgery... Callie then put her arm on Arizona's shoulder to comfort her... this is the sweet stuff in a lesbian relationship that they are showing, and I love.

Not getting to deep in a way that will freek out the homophobes.
