"Grey's Anatomy" 5.3 - "I think I just hate him because he saw you naked."

Dara's going to do a full recap of last night's Grey's Anatomy episode ("Here Comes the Flood") on Monday, but I wanted to do a quick post about the episode's few Callica scenes, like the one pictured below, in which Erica finally admits to Callie the real reason she doesn't like Mark: "I think I just hate him because he saw you naked."

I'm not loving how slowly they're developing this relationship, but I suppose they're doing the same thing with George and Meredith's sister, and Izzy and Alex. And if the promo for next week is any indication, things might speed up a little soon!

    Aww

    I love when they smile at each other and Callie is getting hotter and hotter by the minute!

    Anyone else think they've

    Anyone else think they've "femmed" Erica up?  Her hair is fluffier and she has way more lipstick than she's ever worn before on the show.  And, the opposite might be true for Callie.  She seems a bit more dulled down for some reason.  Her hair is flatter and less shiny and she seems to be wearing less lipstick and eye makeup than before. 

    They're not huge differences, so maybe it's just a between the seasons change in the actresses but it seems a little coincidental.

    Agree!!

    I couldn't agree with you more!!!

     They have totally femmed Erica up...I was just mentioning that the other day to a friend of mine. I miss Hahn's long hair...whats with the curls?!?!

    Then again I have to remember the actress (Brooke Smith, who I also love) has naturally curly hair...

    Whatever they do, I don't care as long as we get some good Callica action this season!!!

    Another thing.  I'm not

    Another thing.  I'm not sure how much I'm liking these snippets we've been given in the first two episodes.  Yes, they've been kind of cute but they sure aren't following the trajectory of every single other relationship that has ever occurred on this show.  It almost feels like we're being thrown a little bone each episode.  Their interaction seems strange, especially since they've been together for a longer time in tv time than what we've seen.  I understand they are guarded because this is new to them (although no way do I believe that line from the previous episode when Erica said she never kissed a woman before) but everyone else just sleeps with each other for something as simple as recreational purposes.  That line about Mark having seen Callie naked, to me, read as he's seen her naked while Erica hasn't.  It could mean that they've both seen her naked but that's not how it read to me. 

    Anyway, the thing that really emphasized the disparity was the part of the preview for next week where McHairy is waiting in the bed, naked, for Meredith and they jump each other, all onscreen.  Meanwhile, we get shy innuendo that is left up to interpretation except when it is spent clearly stating that neither of them has ever, ever, in their entire lives, not ever, done anything like this before.  I understand slow but can it be like a slow flowing river instead of a damn glacier, please!  And, uh, another little kiss wouldn't hurt.  Or, you know, maybe they could actually touch at some point?! 

    Yeah, I'm pre-bitterizing myself for potential disappointment but my bitterness has been proven right one too many times in the past.

    It seems a lot more interesting than what we've seen so far, and it's just a commercial.

    I agree...

    I agree. I don't buy that Erica has never kissed a woman before Callie.  A friend and I were talking about that last week.  You know she has.  I think Mark said it best in the season finale "She brings the whole naughty and being sent to the principals office to mind!"

    And I  like Erica's hair curly.  I think it completes her.

    Erica and Callie

    I like the pace of the 'Callica' storyline, but I'm just wondering where it's going to lead. It's very obvious now that the attraction between them is quite mutual and they're just trying to figure things out. Guess we'll just have to wait and see, won't we?

    Getting better

    It just keeps getting better and better... Now I'll know what precious Grey's moments are yet to come^_^

    Anyone else wanna move to America right now, instead of waiting another 6 months before Europe (Or just the Netherlands) has finally caught up?? ;)

    Callica

    I love this storyline...they are doing a really good job with it.

    I am curious to see where it leads though with all these casting additions they have made the last few weeks!

    Oh well, bring it on!!!!

    I agree with Sarah, best line "I think I just hate him because he saw you naked."

     LOVE IT

    KineticStillness's picture

    One little change would

    One little change would have made that line better for me...

    "I think I just hate that he's seen you naked, too." or "...hate him because he saw you naked first.", followed by a shy, twinkly-eyed smile on both their parts. 

    I'd probably be okay with just staying with the shy smiles and innuendo for a while if I thought it was building up to an amazing "first time" onscreen moment of the same explicitness the other couples have gotten (especially Callie and Mark, who were basically shown going down on each other on camera) but I just don't think that's going to happen.  I hope I'm wrong though and that some wonderfully explosive and tender scene that will fulfill all my little fantasies will appear on screen but, like I said, I'm not hopeful of that occurring.

    And, if anyone has any spoilers that say differently, please share.  You know, spoiler space and warn everyone but spill!!

    Great Episode

    I love this show! This episode was so well written, too. I wasn't expecting Erica to say that line to Callie which made it so much more better. I can't wait for the next episode, the previews with Bailey and Callie are so funny.
    Gooberj's picture

    I completely agree. That

    I completely agree. That comment was unexpected, but oooo so sexy. I can't wait to see where this goes.
    x0xmarie0x0's picture

    I definitely love Callie's

    I definitely love Callie's hair and well I think that Erica is really cute, but I think her long kinda ''straight'' hair were more sexier... (I'm in love with Brooke Smith... :D )

    Anyway, I really do love the storyline and appreciate that they don't rush into things... We have see where that i've go with all the other relationship on this show... Anyway, I hope that we'll see more ''touchy'' moments in the nexts episode... I mean, I want a other kiss, but if they could at least touch i'll be really happy !!

     

    And well, I know I have post the link two time but for them who haven't see it, it's the canadian promo (ctv) for next week episode HERE I mean, I think that we'll see a little bit more...

    A Word of Caution

    I've seen a couple of people jumping to conclusions about the show and how Callie and Erica will be treated as a couple, when compared to other couples on the show and I want to caution against that. 

    Over the summer, Sara Ramirez's best friend, Al Rodriguez, died after a bout with liver cancer. I think, reflecting back on what we heard from Shonda Rhimes and Brooke Smith during the TCAs, they were shooting the first few episodes of the season right around the time that happened. 

    If you watch last night's episode again, you'll notice that Callie's not in any of the big group scenes--she's the only regular cast member not shown during the staff meeting, for example, and she didn't present to a group of residents and interns, as the others did. I can't be certain, but it seemed to me that Callie's scenes were all shot at a different time than the rest of the episode...to give Sara time to grieve her loss. 

    So before anyone else starts chasting the show for how they're handling the storyline, just remember that it's likely that real life stepped in and they were forced to make adjustments. I'm optimistic that we'll see more from Callie and Erica as the season moves on.

    agree with you!

    I think you are right!! even though Sara is a GREAT actress, I noticed that in last nights episode, her charisma was 'off' (sorry for the lack of a better word), which only makes sense because she lost her best friend.

    I noticed too that she was missing at the chief's speech while everybody else was there, so they were probably giving her some time off! I think they might be going slower that they had originally wanted to just to give Sara time, just like you said!

    Got spoilers....?

    I loved that line from Erica too---great stuff.

    There are some great things coming up...you can get a sneak peak if you go to address below and scroll down to the first video....very funny stuff, and in a funny, sort of graphic way, too.  The dialog is tough to hear due to a poor recording, but very worth watching a couple of times to hear what Callie says. ENJOY!

    I'm not digging the

    I'm not digging the goldilocks curls on Dr.Hahn.There was less then 2 minutes of screentime for Callica.I don't mind slow development just as long as the important developments are not just implied or fades to black.

    Did anyone catch the promo for next week's episode.What Dr.Bailey says is hillarious and would make a great one liner for a t shirt.

    I hope they put the preview up on abc's website soon.

    I hope no one will get

    I hope no one will get offendend but im not really buying their acting.

    i dont know what it is but i dont think they have good chemistry. They're both good actresses, but this certain relationship that they're trying to create isn't working for me. :( i dont see it.

     especially the way they look and talk to each other. it just seems so blah, and straight. almost like its written by someone who is straight.

    maybe its cuz nothing has really happened between the 2 characters! but with the little we've got, im not really feeling the "Attraction!"

     

     

    the thing i do see that is fruity is Christina's thoughts on Meredith. TO ME, that was kinda fruity.

    BetweenThaLines's picture

    love it.

    Ok... I'm not even going to keep on reading the comments made so far, because they depress me. I for one LOVE them together, love how slow things are going, the only thing I don't like is the few scenes per episode they are giving us, but I can live with that. The slow thing I love because if they would emediately be in a real relationship there wouldn't be that much to explore for the writers, so they break up sooner. That's my theory. I could go rant on about callica all day. I just love them, and I'm trying to let all the negativity not get to me...

    I just mean to say that I don't want to be kicked of of my little cloud:p Of course people can have their comments, I just don't want to see them. lol

    Forza Roma's picture

    I'm with ya

    I think the storyline is being handled just fine. Of course it's moving slower and not taking the same route - immediately to bed - that the show's other relationships have. They are different, it's new for them. Plus, as noted /\ , taking it slower can only delay the inevitable break up (I say inevitable because TV characters almost always do, it's what keeps plot movin') and possibly give more depth.

    I'll certainly wait and see where it goes.

    Hes of betweenthelines fame?

    If that is you I have to say I love your videos on youtube! Thank you so much for them. The moments from the episodes are really well edited and the story so far parts 1-5 are simply perfect. So again thank you for feeding my obsession.

    not in regular tv time

     "Their interaction seems strange, especially since they've been together for a longer time in tv time than what we've seen. "

    I don't think 'tv time' is longer in this show. I mean, they only just started thier first year of residency at the beginning of season four. And they were interns for three seasons,(doctors only intern for a year). The first three seasons were only counted as a year. So i think that its just been a couple of weeks between the Callica kiss and last nights episode.

    im just glad

    im just glad they didn't leave em out all together
    erica's naked quote is so cuuuute!! and then they both laugh, which adds to the cutness

    Hey,

    thanks to x0xmarie0x0 for giving the link to the promo for next week's episode (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sLgQX34Yds). 

    But I can barely hear what they're saying!!! What do Bailey and Callie say to eachother?!?! 

    thanks!! 

    casak's picture

    I can't hear all of what is

    I can't hear all of what is being said in the first scene they show

    Bailey:"I don't talk about sex to anyone ever

    Callie: "Bailey I am begging you"

    Bailey "The veejayjay is undiscovered country"

    Promo


    I think they're fantastic!!! Adorable and TONS of chemistry!! And Brooke Smith is the hottest thing EVER!! Her voice is so incredibly sexy, especially when she says things like "I think I just hate him because he's seen you naked" SO. HOT.

    Here's what's said in the promo (I watched the actual thing on TV :D )

    Callie and Bailey are in an elevator
    Callie: I’m going on a date with Erica Hahn
    And Bailey gives her a shocked expression.
    Callie: What if I’m horrible…you know…south of the…border…

    Cut to the scrub room.
    Bailey: I don’t talk about sex with anyone EVER
    Callie: Bailey I’m begging you!
    Pulls down her scrub mask and gives Bailey a pleading look
    Bailey (pauses): Okay the vajajay is undiscovered country...

    CAN'T WAIT!!

    Oh, Callica ...

    if it weren't for you, I would truly begin to lose hope. We NEED a positive portrayal of a relationship between two bisexual women that doesn't include getting a man off (yes I am looking at you, MTV).

     

    "I think I just hate him because he saw you naked" - I am liking Erica Hahn more and more each episode :)

    verav's picture

    I like the slow pace that

    I like the slow pace that they are taking with the Callica story line. Because like Callie said in the last episode, she just got out of a rather messed up marriage and is now embarking on a new and different relationship, so it would make sense for her to want to take things slow. I love those two and I'm so excited to see more of them!
    Holly's picture

    I love these two

    I love these two, they are pretty much the reason I actually got into Grey's. I like that they are taking it slow too, it fits with what would happen in real life between two women in their situation, but I can't help feeling frustrated waiting for the next episode every week.

    And that last line by Erica was awesome. It shows to me that the attraction does indeed go both ways, and Erica's been thinking naughty thoughts about Callie (along with the rest of the population)

    The promo for next week looks amazing. Bailey is hilarious, and 'vajayjay' is slowly becoming one of my favourite words.

    Puff's picture

    mmmm naked

    I like how slow the relationship is going. I love the smiles and looks between Callie and Erica. I love the screen time they are getting. Would I like more? Hell yes but then the shows main stars are the original interns so I am content with what I have.

    Kat's picture

    oh how i wish

    oh how I wish callica had more scenes in these episodes. Like... I wish they were the main couple ;) haha. They're so beautiful together though. I'm so excited for them to develop. Why does erica hate sloan now though? I remeber is season 4 she implyed that if they didn't work together they would hook up........hmmmm
    Lauren's picture

    I loved the scene when

    I loved the scene when Callie was eating and Erica walked in though... I thought it was so cute how they were looking at each other :)

    Confession

    ..  And I might get torched for this, - but first let me clarify that I couldn't be more happy to see a lesbian relationship portrayed on a high rated show on primetime -

    I'm sorry, I just don't find Erica Hahn the least bit appealing in any way, not to mention that I can't seem to find the supposed "tension" or "heat" between them. I feel like I'm being dragged along for the ride just for the sake of Callie.

    Why not have a new charcter introduced that actually sparks something in Callie so we actually get to see it translated onscreen? Because it's not there with Hahn, just not there.

    This is just my humble opinion, and please note that I don't mean to offend anyone.

    AR's picture

    You my friend have just got

    You my friend have just got your wish answered =P

     

    They're actually having someone as an intern in Grey's cast, her sexual orientation being bi.

     And after reading wikipedia episode summary, I think Callica is gonna go down for sometime...especially after the next episode....

     Argh! I can't believe this is happening! I wish Callica could work out!

    I don't see it working out, because I just don't see anything between them. They seem better off as friends. They hardly seem like a couple now, more like strangers.

    Maybe it might work...=) I really hope so it does.

    Mays's picture

    Are you talking about Janina "Papi" Gavankar?

    .. I've heard/read about her coming on the show, I don't know how it slipped my mind. But, maybe that intern is there just to ruffle a few feathers around Seattle Grace.. probably?

    Does it say anything about her getting in between Callica? I wouldn't mind seeing Callie with someone else, because as you correctly put it .. They seem better off as friends.

    AR's picture

    Maybe....

     

     I think so, I wouldn't know though except she came from the L-word show? I'm not sure, but I hope she spices things up ;)

     Speaking of which! After watching episode 5.04 and seeing that look on Callie's face in the resturant when she calls Erica's name made me swoon or melt. That look was so warm.

    But we'll see. I actually feel bad for Erica in a way though because she seems to have fallen =) Maybe because she does things with such tremendous intensity and Callie's the kind to take it easy.

    Such opposites =P

    But I like Erica. So patient.

    And I think their relationship is very realistic and going this slow makes it all real especially with their temperament. Erica although withdrawn, once something catches her attention, she focuses on it with an enormous amount of intensity and patience. And then there's Callie, although she's a bit wild (doing surgery while listening to loud dance music???) seems hesitant to matters of getting hurt.

    With their personality a slow relationship seems to be the only thing I would see. I mean it's their first time. Hahn would never jump into anything so easily (though it seems like it) and Torres just got out with a broken heart.

    Think about it. How many of you can remember your first time, being so dead scared it probably took you months to get into bed with each other? The second time around though must have been easier as you know what you were doing.

    Maybe if there wasn't any hesitation their hidden passion would be shinning.

    But even though I want quick action, passion and lots of touching~ I think I like the pace their relationship is going at. So dead slow =P

    Callica

    This Callica thing is moving slower than a glacier before global warming. Who wouldn't be naked already? Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic easy tart, but this show is not building suspense. No, they're reminding me why I hated it before (the bad plotlines, the awkward dialog that serves as even more awkward and cumbersome exposition). I'll stick with the show, just for the Callie/Erica thing, for a couple of more weeks and if it continues to be ridiculous and sucky, then I'll shuck my Grey's podperson skin and bail.
    Katina's picture

    Hmmm...

    Loved the promo for the next episode.

    About Callie and Erica, I have to say I am not at all satisfied with the development of their relationship. Sometimes they look like two imature teenagers - and not in the good sense of being head over heels with one another.

    Let's just wait and see what happens next.
