(S05E14) An Honest Mistake

Tonight’s Grey’s Anatomy featured a moment that will surely be highlighted on some future DVD of all amazing Grey’s moments years from now: “The Shepherd and Sloan Smack Down”.

After a whirlwind of emotional surgery Derek is left with self-anger, disbelief and grief, having lost his pregnant patient due to his own medical mistake. With possibly the worst timing known to man Sloan picks just that moment when Derek is taking the quiet time he needs to get his head on straight in order to burst out the truth about his and Lexi’s relationship. Big mistake Steamy. Without even pausing to think about it Derek threw two punches directly at Steamy’s face surely making the man glad he’s in plastics. The fight went on with no mercy shown until Dr. Hunt, the Chief and of course, both Grey sisters split the men apart. Not before, I might add, I had a slight fear Sloan and/or Shepherd would take a head dive off the bridge where the ruckus occurred.

So yes, a lot of other things happened in tonight’s episode. Izzie discovers she was misdiagnosed with anemia and may have cancer, putting her life in the interns hands for the moment. Bailey fights for both respect and an esteemed spot in pediatrics. Dr. Hunt admits to Cristina that he accepts all her faults and wants to spend his life with her anyway. Ooh and shall we not forget Torres’ shameful rejection from Arizona that happened not once, but twice in one day. But really, doesn’t that all just pale in comparison to a crazy wicked fist fight between two very hot men? I thought so.
