First things first: One should not have sex with dead people (Izzie, I’m talkin’ to you!). I’m not sure what’s up with this story line and am convinced that the producers are setting Iz up for a massive breakdown, because REALLY? Gettin’ busy with Denny? How many seasons has he been dead? And of course, the fact that everyone in their house could hear her quite loudly having “relations” with… well, they didn’t know (Alex assumed she was flying solo). Ugggggh. Make it stop.

While Izzie was busy getting’ busy, the rest of the docs were paged in to the hospital for emergencies. While the residents were busy with real cases, the intern newbies were continuing with the self-inflicted surgery – it reminded me of the movie Flatliners somehow.

While the interns were up to their creepy shenanigans, several docs were working with a dad who had sleep issues who ended up getting pretty banged up by walking through a big glass window. Ow. Poor guy had a very sweet daughter who had been depriving herself of sleep to stay up and talk her dad out of his night terrors. The dad wigged out and knocked Callie to the ground, messing up her adorable nose in the process. Not to worry, Sloan was there to work his plastic magic, including zonking Callie out with anesthetic so she could sleep off some of her stress. Meanwhile, Sloan saw the exhaustion in the daughter’s eyes and was surprisingly sensitive and good with the kid. I actually really like how his character is evolving beyond the realm of just being the “man whore”.

Alex’s patient was a hypochondriac who believed she had stomach cancer. Apparently, taking antibiotics purchased from the internet for a pimple she believed to be staph wiped out the good bacteria in her body, which meant that Lauren now required a fecal transplant. Don’t know what that is? It has to do with poop. Lovely as that sounds, her husband then needed to be the donor of said fecal matter. There is one relationship hurdle I hope to never cross. Ever. I mean it.
