Trivia
In this episode, Meredith says "That's one of us down there, show some respect" which is an allusion to when she said the same thing on the first episode about George during his surgery.

Quotes
Dr. Meredith Grey: We enter the world alone, and we leave it alone, and everything that happens in between we owe it to ourselves to find a little company. We need help, we need support, otherwise, we are in it by ourselves. Strangers, cut off from each other, and we forget, just how connected we all are. So instead, we choose love, we choose life, and, for a moment, we feel just a little bit less alone.

Solo surgery

There are two very interesting, blossoming romances going on at once. Cristina and Owen's is very out of the ordinary, kinda dysfunctional, aggressive kisses at night and then complete silence and awkwardness. But still there is a really strong attraction, you can tell. And a very special chemistry and a vulnerability and an understanding, they kinda have a special bond already. It is very nice to watch.

Mark and Lexie's is bumpy, awakward, cute and just very fun to watch. I love that he has become totally hung up on her. And that she is slowly catching on. I loved their moment in his hotel room when everything changed.

Dr. Dixons presence this time is more enjoyable than the last. Her character fits in well with the story. I really don't like her though. But she was the one helping Cristina make her choice. And it's a good choice.

It's great that they have Mer and Cristina fighting. It's very realistic. The writers are doing a very good job here.
