S5 E17-E18: You are all Shadow Shepherds with Amanda Scrubbing In! Mar 20, 2019

Show notes

This week we have old time friend and Grey's anatomy lover Amanda on! She brings great insight and great memories from our youth.
Derek is spending his time back at his trailer after his failed surgery, drinking a lot of beer, and hitting engagement rings with a baseball bat. Bailey sends Callie out to talk to him, but she never returns, so Owen goes out for them, but then he never returns. So, Bailey tells Chief and Chief heads to the woods to say some things. Derek is in the dark place, but not as dark as Izzie.
Izzie is teaching the interns how to diagnose a patient, with scans from patient X. It turns out that patient X is actually her, and she has a pretty terrible diagnosis. Izzie confides in Cristina in the blowy room, and after Izzie refuses treatment, Cristina drops the news on Alex...in the O.R. right before surgery.
Owen and Cristina are flirting and floating along, but we know that shit is about to get messy for them when she wakes him up and he shoves her against a wall cutting her arm open. Obviously it was an accident.
Summary: It's complicated.

S5 E15-E16: Goodbye 20's, Hello 30's with Owen Scrubbing In! Mar 13, 2019

Show notes

This is Abbey's last podcast in her twenties and she has had a pretty wonderful decade. If you haven't already, wish her a Happy Birthday!
This week we have another crossover episode. Addison shows up with her brother who has worms in his brain. Derek works his magic, and saves his life. Afterwards, they celebrate at Joe's by singing the terrible song Derek wrote for Addison when they were getting married. That's right, Derek played the guitar...who knew?
Then Derek botches Jen's surgery and cuts out a lot of her brain. Then he punches Mark in the face. Not a good day for Derek.
Mark gets punched in the face. Not a good day for Mark.
Izzie finds out that the blood test she had done on her was mixed up with another patient, and she isn't just anemic but has cancer. Not a good day for Izzie.
This mix up was Sadie's fault...of course. Not a good day for Sadie.
Summary: Not a good day.

S5 E14: Word Association with Kelsey Scrubbing In! Mar 06, 2019

Show notes

Just because Denny told Izzie she is sick, doesn't mean she now knows what is going on. This week she uses Sadie her intern to perform multiple tests on her. The only thing they find out is that Izzie is anemic...but there is probably (obviously) more to that story.
Derek is going to propose and everyone knows except Meredith. Even their patient knows. Mark helps Derek decorate their bedroom with rose petals and an over-sized, frightening teddy bear, when Derek gets a call...from Addison?? NO PROPOSAL THIS EPISODE
Cristina is reading Ellis' journals and they read like a Victorian novel. So, Cristina and Owen are floating around the hospital, stealing glances, and brushing fingertips. It is forbidden love, the sexy kind.
Other than that, Abbey and Bri have a head colds and probably fevers as they record an intro that you will either love or hate, but really is there anything new with that?

S5 E12-E13: Keep Showing Up Feb 27, 2019

Show notes

This is the epic two part episode about the serial killer prisoner. It is beautifully written and horribly dark, something we can all get down on. There are so many GGB's including but not limited to:
Derek being vulnerable
Derek showing up for Mer after the execution
Cristina sitting in the car with Mer
Cristina getting in the shower with Owen
Owen talking about his best surgery
AND
Mark breaking his penis

S5 E10-E11: Chief in the Dark with Kendall Scrubbing In! Feb 20, 2019

Show notes

It is solo surgery time. Cristina has to decide which one of her fellow resident's gets to amputate a dude's foot, even though everyone knows, including Cristina, that it should be her. Spoiler alert: she chooses Karev. He makes the best argument, which is just straight up telling Cristina how to chop off a foot.
Arizona is here! Bailey hates her. She wants Chief to do something about it, but he is too busy Chiefin' it up in a dark OR. Classic Chief.
Mark and Lexie finally get together after she shows up at his hotel room and takes off all her clothes. Who could resist??
Izzie is still having ghost sex, and Karev is still ok with it. This story-line can end now.
Our twisted sisters are currently fighting and IT IS BREAKING OUR HEARTS! They also disagree with protocol on how to handle a serial killer. We can't wait until they finally make up. The only good thing that comes out of this fight is Derek dancing it out with Meredith. What a gem.

S5 E9: Ghost Sex Feb 13, 2019

Show notes

This week Denny and Izzie finally have the opportunity to "make love" or what we like to call "ghost sex". What are the logistics behind ghost sex you ask? Don't worry, your hosts Abbey and Bri talk at length about how what they think the act of sex with a ghost looks like. Alex is into to, and doesn't are, although I am not sure he fully grasps what is going on.
Callie gets punched in the face and breaks her nose, this continues to not be her year.
Then all of the interns do a real fuck up and perform surgery in some creepy basement room of the hospital. Of course, shit gets messed up and Sadie is dying on the table. Meredith and Cristina save the day, and Bailey doesn't even have to give them a teaching moment. Mamma Bird is letting her baby birds fly, and fly they do...until Chief finds out Cristina knew about weird basement behavior and never came to him. Cristina gets pulled from the running for solo surgery. This leaves Mer and Cristina in a quarrel and we as the viewers want nothing more than for them to make up and lead their interns to redemption.

S5 E8: "I'm Here For You" Feb 06, 2019

Show notes

Death and die, the two worst nicknames ever…this is what we have to look forward to this episode. Meredith’s old friend Sadie is in town, and she is shoving Cristina out of Mer’s bed. We are not here for it, and we are not impressed.
Hahn is gone. After Richard told her to leave things alone with the Denny and Izzie situation, and Callie was not expressing her feelings as deeply as Hahn she decided to leave. This leaves Cristina with Dr. Dixon, wishing for Hahn to be back, and Callie crying in the O.R.
Izzie is still seeing Denny. She thinks she is being haunted by him, because she still has the sweater she knit him. She asks Karev to burn it for her, and she wanders back to her room where SURPRISE there is Denny. They make out. On deck….ghost sex.

S5 E6-E7: Love at Twilight Jan 30, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to a Twilight podcast. This week Bri travels down a deep dark hole of Bella, Edward, and Jacob (team Edward). Bri realizes she really missed the boat on a lot of young adult novels, and feels a little disappointed that she is reverting back to 13 years old again. Abbey OF COURSE has already read all the books and seen all the movies, because she is a champion of young adult fiction.
Owen is back and he is stabbing pigs. This is not a great first look Owen. I think you should try harder next time. More to come on Owen, but for now let us all just recognize that he stabbed five pigs.
Callie and Erica finally get together. It is really moving for Erica, and she now sees leaves on trees. Callie doesn't have quite the same response and jumps in bed with Mark again. Testing theories and what not. Probably not the kindest, or most adult response. Maybe next time she should try communicating with the person she is sleeping with. Just a thought.
Alex and Izzie get together, with just enough time for Izzie to loose her marbles. That's right folks Ghost Denny is in the house. He is floating around the hospital in that white tee looking mighty fine, but being completely out of place, for this is a medical show. Can't wait until ghost sex.

S5 E5: Get That D, That Vitamin D Jan 23, 2019

Show notes

It is what you all have been waiting for! Bri has finally finished the first Harry Potter book! Abbey and Bri take some time to discuss first impressions, favorite parts, and where we all go from here. Slowly, Abbey is creating her perfect partner, molding Bri into exactly who she wants her to be.
Kidneys. We have a lot of them this episode. This is THE kidney transplant. Joining us on this adventure, is Aaron Burr and his Dad. We have also have a husband who is cheating on his wife with a much younger lady. Both women are donating kidneys, unaware of the other. Obviously, that doesn't last long and the wife finds out.
So, of course she drops out and who comes to save the day? Bailey. With her super inappropriate Bailey teaching moment, not technically coercing the patient, but it is pretty damn close to coercion.
On the side story, we have the Shepard Method. Mer feels she is not being taken seriously by Derek, and is hurt that she wasn't included in the article about their clinical trial. Derek apologizes and brings Mer a peace offering, a kidney in a jar. See, this episode is all about kidneys.

S5 E3-E4: Would You Rather? Jan 16, 2019

Show notes

Would you rather have hands that keep growing or feet that keep growing? Would you rather be alone for the rest of your life, or surrounded by annoying people the rest of your life? How about your food is always too salty, or your food is not salty enough? These are some serious life questions that Abbey and Bri take on this episode.
The hospital is number 12 in the nation and Chief has something to say about it. He is on a rampage, making rules and enforcing them and avoiding the inevitable need to shut down the OR floor. It isn't until the ceiling collapses from a water leak on a SUPER unlucky patient, that Chief realizes he is mega crazy and tells Bailey to call Mercy West and transfer patients. Out of control.
George takes his intern exam again, and this time HE PASSES. Thank god we couldn't handle another loss for George. It's unfortunate he doesn't have much life left to live (spoiler alert).
Meredith decides she wants to have Derek live with her, and she is not ready to let her roommates go. He says it is fine for now, but clearly it is not and he is super condescending towards her. She should have probably stayed in therapy to talk about how smug Derek is, but love is truly blinding.
Cristina discovers Dermatology and it is a really special place with really special people and it seems like heaven. Everyone is bright and shiny and drinks fruit flavored water. Sadly, Mer, Cristina, and Izzie are all incapable of being bright shiny people and recognize they would never be satisfied dealing with skin conditions the rest of their careers.
