Burke's Harper Avery
IngridNO-6799720 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Derek and Meredith's clinical trial-case this time is so strong. Really powerful and beautiful. The actors are great. The two soldiers love for each other....I get tears in my eyes, it is so heartbreaking!

Hahn's case with the mom in the plastic bubble is also really good. Touching.

I liked Yang reacting to Burke's Harper Avery, singing and all. She's so great when she's a little out of character. And her speech to the chief was fabulous.

Fun moment in the meeting with the chief and Adele when Bailey had a little outbirst!

The music in this episode is perfect!

Failed Brain Surgery

Warning: Spoilers
This Episode begins with Bailey, she is walking around with Tuck at the hospital. Sloan and Callie are having sex at the hospital. Izzie, George, Meredith and Cristina see that Burke won the Harper Avery award. Cristina got sended to the morgue by Hahn. Richard wants to make George chief intern. Derek and Meredith perform a brain surgery together, Darren is the patient. Kyra gets a cardiac arrest, Alex saved her life. Darren died after surgery. Richard and Adele had sex with each other. Nice Episode of Grey's Anatomy Season 4, such another Episode with a lot of storyline between Meredith and Derek. Hope they will be together sometime!

Grey's is back!
ses898 May 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This episode was the first in a long time that I enjoyed, and loved. For a while, the show was disappointing me, but I really loved this episode. It was real, and the tragedy was real. But what I really loved most was the character development and focus. From the beginning of the episode, the characters showed growth -- they are really growing and confronting their signature weaknesses. Especially Meredith, finally!! We even saw a different side of Cristina. The show opened without all the kvetching and complaining I'm so used to. (And of course it was great to see Adele and the chief...) The characters are getting their acts together -- Sloane, Meredith, Cristina, Izzy. And I love how the therapist cuts the BS and tells it like it is, pushing aside Meredith's usual rationalizations to make her grow up and see things as they are. This episode made me a fan again.

Best episode of season 4
jamesoxendine20 October 2018
This is by far the best episode of season 4. Christina's and Meredith's hurt felt real and the patients featured were especially well written. The first episode that has actually made me cry.

Missed Opportunity
PastaPower4 June 2020
For the scene(s) where Dr. Yang is singing "Like a Virgin", how did they not think to use Weird Al's "Like a Surgeon" instead? I mean, she's literally a struggling surgeon singing the song while cutting into a cadaver, it would have fit perfectly and been hilarious.

It felt disconnected

Warning: Spoilers
It felt so disconnected. Miranda walking in with her baby.... what was that about? What was up with Christine and the singing and why was Lexie suddenly there with her? I know Christine spoke her mind in the end, but it just seemed so out of character and disjointed. It felt like they wrote a lot of topics for the show (The Chief and his Intern, Burke and his award, Christine and her apparent melt down, Callie and Dr. Hahn and their friendship, Dr. McSteamy being a whore, the tumor research, Rose and Derrick, Merideth and her shrink..) and couldn't settle on one to run with. I love Grey's and wouldn't think of missing an episode, but I was disappointed with this one.
