I too thought the Cristina dermatology dept. story was a bit out there. I love Cristina and I cannot see her getting excited about Residents serving berry water. The Cristina I know and love would snark all over that and how could they possibly be real doctors or have self-respect, whatever, etc.

I didn't mind the thing with the trailer. Cristina needs a space to get away from Callie and Meredith needs a space to get away from Derek. So the trailer is that space!

Alex is definitely a douche and he needs to start seeing Meredith's shrink!

As for Callie, Erica and Bailey, oh so much to love this week. I think Erica might be feeling more secure and ready than Callie because she is in therapy and able to process her emotions. But Callie is talking to the likes of Bailey and Sloan. Bailey--who is freaked out about it, and Sloan--who is enjoying things a little too much. Sloan could probably give her "sex tips" but that's not really what is at issue. Not entirely, anyway. She can't talk to Cristina about it. So, Bailey it is. And bless poor Bailey's heart. She felt concerned and decided to try and offer some support in her own way.

I think you're spot on about Lexie and George. It won't be pretty. And George is no saint.
