Synopsis: Derek confronts the Chief after learning about his drinking problem; Izzie returns and hopes to reconcile with Alex; tensions run high between Teddy, Owen and Cristina in the aftermath of Cristina's startling confession.
With the long-awaited return of Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) to Seattle Grace Hospital, "I Like You So Much Better When Your Naked" was sure to be a crowd pleaser. The episode surely didn't disappoint. We are left wondering: did Izzie return and then leave again?
It's too confusing to keep track of the cast members lately. People disappear, reappear, and then they're part of the main story again. Grey's really does deserve the description "primetime soap opera." Honestly, can you name any other primetime television show that has their stars die, and then come back, and then leave again? Not unless you're watching clips during the Daytime Emmys.
It's not like complaining will do any good. Heigl, who adopted a child late last year, is taking personal time to be with her new daughter, an honorable leave. You could counter with the fact that actress Ellen Pompeo, who plays Meredith Grey, recently gave birth to a daughter, but she's been on set and in almost every scene (even if at one point it was only from the chest up). With the onslaught of new cast members in the last few months, half of the new cast didn't appear in this week's episode.
So, Izzie came back. She's not working at Seattle Grace again; she's just making life miserable for Alex (Justin Chambers) who woke up in bed with Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) the morning Izzie was due to return. Obviously someone found them in bed together — how could it be Grey's if someone didn't walk in on them the next morning? Meredith berates them for being juvenile or some such and tells them that "no one needs to know" — AT THE EXACT MINUTE Izzie walks back into Alex's life. Whoa, how's that for coincidence?
