I have this same question -- I only saw bits and pieces of the show so I assumed I missed something in a past episode or at the very beginning of this one. What happened between those two? And I'm sorry, but Meredith gets more haggard-looking everytime I click into that show.

Christina is mad at Meredith because when the Chief found out that Christina knew about the interns secret surgery/stitches/etc practicing, Meredith didn't defend Christina and sort of threw her under the bus. So Christina was taken out of the running for the solo surgery and later assigned to pick who was going to perform the solo surgery. Then Meredith assumed Christina would pick her and then became (I think this is right since it was like a month ago) somewhat upset because Christina didn't pick her for the solo surgery. I think that's all of it.

Ah! Ok, thank you. I think I saw most of the episodes leading up to the solo surgery, but I missed the actual episode. I'll have to try and catch up online. Because I missed the actual getting together of McSteamy and Little Grey too, and I have to say, I don't buy for a minute that that guy would really ever go for her, but hey, suspending the 4th wall of reality and all that...

I would agree with the McSteamy thing *except*... McSteamy TOLD Derek that by making Little Grey "forbidden", he made her desirable to him and THAT I can believe!

Part of the Christina/Meredith was about a conversation that they had up in the viewing booth during Alex's surgery. I can't remember what Mer said, but Christina went off on her.

I heart Callie and Sloan...they entertain me.

Wasn't Christina talking about how they were all of their interns or something? Not just her's?

[a.e.B.O.T.]

For a few messages, a few messages back:

Dr. Dixon is still there. Chief listed her as one of the doctors he has on his plate in this episode. Shonda likes to do this budgeting technique of mentioning that supporting actors in play by name, but not having them on screen if they are not important at the time. That way they dont have to pay them for the episode. She did it in Private Practice that same night with the fireman.

Yes. Meredith's "apology" included telling Cristina that she was sorry that they were fighting and wanted to it to end *blah blah blah* so that it wouldn't interfere with their work anymore because she "knew" Cristina gave the solo surgery to Alex because she was making a work decision personal. Cristina fought back and said Alex made the best case for himself (as far as why he deserved it) so assuming Cristina didn't give it to her was Meredith making it personal. Then, she lashed out at all the rest of the residents because it was everyone's interns practicing on themselves so they all should've shared the blame for it but, instead, they let her take it all. That's when the magic on the air grate happened.
