Arizona's leg grew back - amazing!

I'm still waiting for the writers to remember that both Arizona and Amelia went to Hopkins... maybe Amelia's ex-boss will recognise her?! (Probably not!)

Did we see her leg exposed in this episode? Isn't it usually covered like before and forgotten?

I've been hoping for the writers to remember John Hopkins since Amelia joined seasons ago. It'll probably never happen.

It was the scene where she was walking into the hospital with April - they didn't even try to make it look like she had a prosthetic on!

I would love for there to be some Arizona and Amelia stories from their days at Hopkins, but sadly if we haven't heard about it by now, I don't think we ever will.

I saw Gabby tweeting that last night, why are you guys saying that Lol? I'm confused. Is it just because they never bring it up?

Episode 3

Funny episode for Arizona. I'm glad to see happy Arizona

That grumpy guy was Harper Avery, majority owner of the hospital and when Calzona started, they were also lacking depth but it grew as time went on.

Ah, thanks. I only watched Arizona's scenes, so that's the only time I saw that grumpy guy.

Yeah, it's only early days for Arizona and Carina, so I'm fine with it being lust at this point. No real expectations for it developing deeper either. It'll be great if it does, but nothing new if it doesn't. I've learned my lesson when it comes to expecting anything for Arizona, lol.

RE: Episode 3

I like would like to see Arizona and Carina working together more - I liked the fact that Carina challenged Arizona this week and got her to think outside the box. She's cheeky and fun, and brings out Arizona's fun side which is really nice to see.

I loved the hand wave too!

[cat2001]

I loved the conversation between Arizona and April about adjusting to not having your child all the time, we've never seen Arizona talk about what it was like having to share custody. Then to see that Sophia wants to come back and live with her, I am glad they seem to be keeping to the idea that Callie and Arizona will alternate years, just have to wait and see whether we actually get to see Arizona be a mother this year and what effect it will have on her new relationship.

Episode 4

[funkyshaz57]

Well not much Arizona at all tonight but I gathered as much with what is going on with Amelia. Arizona certainly seems happy. Carina and her seem relatively cosy, I mean it's just sex at the moment, but the little hand holding in bed seemed sweet and the looks shared between them and sitting with each other I thought was neat, indicates that they like one another. But did Carina pull a face when Arizona mentioned Sofia wanting to come home? Or was that just a normal face for someone who's like oh yup Lol

I'm not sure the rules in the US but in Canada once a child is 12 their opinion counts in court when it comes to custody etc.

I am actually surprised that the writers are remembering that Sofia is supposed to live with Arizona after living with Callie for a year. Although I am not a fan of how they brought it up. Seems like they are changing the story. I would assume it has been at least a year since Callie and Sofia moved to New York, so simply saying or somehow bringing up that Sofia is moving back home cause it's Arizona's year would stick truer to the original story.

I liked that Arizona is interacting with more characters. Although it feels like they forget that Arizona went to Hopkins, other than lauren Arizona hasn't had anything to do with any of the other Hopkins alumni they have brought it.

I am now even less impressed that there is a centric episode next cause now we will have to wait 3 weeks for any movement with the Arizona storyline and the Amelia storyline.

I will admit I am liking this season.

RE: Episode 4

[funkyshaz57]

I m liking this season so far too, not expecting much when it comes to Arizona. I do think it's inconsistent how they have brought up the Sofia SL. As you mentioned she was supposed to live year in year out between Callie/Arizona but the way they've brought it up indicates that...there is a choice. Sofia's only like 7 or something though right?

But did Carina pull a face when Arizona mentioned Sofia wanting to come home? Or was that just a normal face for someone who's like oh yup Lol.

Carina just seemed surprised, but there was a smile at the end. So I don't see it as something bad. I wonder how much she knows about Sofia and Arizona's ex-wife.

[greypanther]

Honestly, I thought there would be more chatter about Sofia's request. There is obviously something going on in New York for her to contact Arizona. I have learned not to expect too much regarding Arizona's storyline but this gives me hope for sometbing substantial.

[englishstrawbie]

I will be disappointed if Sofia arrives without any explanation as to why or a reference to how Callie feels about it. Like you say, there must be a reason for it. I would love to see Arizona in her role as a mom more.
