See you next week!

Welcome to another episode of Code Grey(s): Quarantine Edition! We recorded this a week ago and boy howdy has everything gotten so much worse! We start out with some quarantine chatter before getting into Co-Star vs Pattern and, eventually, our Season 3, Episode 9 Rounds (14:23). Then, we ask ourselves if we would help our partners rob a bank (16:20); how George makes his only good choice so far this season by consulting ERICA HAHN, MD (38:40); can we remain friends with exes? (43:40); George's new role as the alpha asshole at Seattle Grace (47:05) and the climactic showdown between Burke and Yang (55:00). PLUS our M&M (1:04:45) which includes some vintage Damien Rice... Stay safe! See you next week.

We're BACK to break down S3E07 of Grey's Anatomy. This week, PATRICE starts us out and we enjoy a TV on the Radio appreciation tangent before a debate on bath-time. Then, we jump into our episode Rounds (10:15); the Alex/Izzie ship sails again -- briefly (18:05); the very tired Working Moms dilemma (26:00); the compelling enigma that is Ellis Grey (31:35); the infantilization of the O'Malley brood (37:25) and Cristina's slow-motion heel turn (45:00). Plus, don't miss our M&M (52:50) with a hearty helping of teardrops!

We have a LOT to cover with Episode 7 of Season 3 -- mostly related to weird gender essentialism and unhelpful depictions of trans lives! We start, as always, with our episode Rounds (3:43) plus a discussion of our respective positions on THE GREAT OUTDOORS. Then, we move into Yang's much-deserved poop duty (13:00) and a comprehensive guide to the Monopoly tokens; the unrealistic idea of any of these men camping (23:55); what are we doing with this "manliness" storyline and why do Walter and Joe have to be subjected to toxic heterosexuality in their free time (28:00); unpacking how Grey's tries (and mostly fails) at its first trans storyline (34:50); Addison and Callie -- a ship that never really got its chance to sail (51:25); and this episode's M&M (1:02:40) which features some very comforting words from Kali Rocha's Dr. Sydney Heron. Wash your hands and see you next week!

Patrice and Tréza do their best with a tepid episode, beginning with our weekly Rounds (4:20); followed immediately by a Sarah Utterback Appreciation Tangent (come on the show!); our horror at Yang's descent into Mad Queen territory (9:30); how a woman with two uteruses and two baby daddies still can't save this episode from sucking (20:25); the LONG-AWAITED psych consult of a self-sabotaging/self-harming law school hopeful (30:25); and the sudden appearance of MS. HONEY a fierce gay root and, apparently, Derek's sister (38:25). Plus we offer up our M&M (46:30) with a terrifying Medical Fact of the Week (53:35).

We're back with a discussion of Grey's Anatomy Season 3, Ep 5 -- featuring the show's first real M&M (morbidity and mortalityyyy). We cover that (8:00) and so much more, including: a new mom with breast cancer and the frustrating handling of Bailey's post-baby career (17:20); the physics of a genital piercing getting entangled in an IUD (26:00); a debate on the ethics of radical honesty (30:00); Izzie's mystery guilt and un-deposited $8.7 MILLION DOLLAR check (47:45); the crucial difference between a choice and a mistake (55:00); and OUR M&M (which has much lower stakes than this episode's!

Two of us are BACK (Patrice and Tréza) to recap #Grey'sAnatomy Season 3, Episode 4. We start out with this episode's Rounds before trying (and failing!) to sort the surgical specialities according to astrological signs (3:30); McSteamy's dramatic (even FIERY) introduction as the newest member of the surgical team at Seattle Grace (18:00); our emergency C-Section Medical Fact of the Week (23:40); Meredith is pregnant with...a bad appendix (30:40); and Izzie's awkward meet and greet with DENNISON Sr.(48:00); plus our M&M of this pretty great episode!

WELCOME TO AN EPISODE THREE YEARS IN THE MAKING. We have finally made it to the indelible season 2 finale of Grey's Anatomy and WOW we have a lot of Izzie Stevens energy so ////strap//// in. Patrice takes care of our Rounds this week (3:40) before we get started with a summary of the Burke/Yang situation; the intern interrogations inspire our new doo-wop trio, Denny and the LVAD Cutters (18:36); oh yeah DENNY DIES and it's surprisingly sad (44:15); Megan is moved to open sobbing by the death of Doc, the Metaphor Dog (57:42); and we introduce our final M&M of Season 2 (1:13:00), which includes the best Song of the Week of the series so far.

Welcome to our recap of Grey's Anatomy Season 2, Episode 26! This episode is titled after a Flaming Lips song that, apparently, may not actually exist! Anyway, you're CORDIALLY invited on our journey into the heart of Isobel Stevens' madness. We begin with our ROUNDS, our episode summary (1:30) before discussing how Burke has been SHOT (10:48);Izzie is an unhinged asshole (22:18); George's Hall of Fame "apology" (37:00); BB TESSA THOMPSON (44:05) telling LIES about losing her virginity (50:00); and this week's M&M (52:40) which includes an almost completely incorrect Medical Fact of the Week you are welcome (1:03:56).

This week on Code Grey(s), we're talking about Season 2, Episode 25 of Grey's Anatomy -- and we have a LOT of feelings re:  Burke's unbelievable pettiness (8:10); the ongoing humiliations of one Addison Montgomery and the McDreamy fallacy (11:00); Callie Torres' reckoning with the dysfunctional "family" she's now attached to (19:45); the handling of a shooting episode in 2006 vs our 2019 response (35:45); our introduction to ERICA HAHN and the moment Izzie finally and absolutely loses her mind (51:00); the most dramatic ending EVER (1:13:58); and this week's M&M (1:17:38) including a HEATED Song of the Week debate.

In this weeks' episode of everyone's favorite Grey's Anatomy recap show, Patrice and Tréza attempt to record the show without Megan and things unravel very quickly: We begin with Patrice trying to explain Motörhead to Tréza, with very limited success. She has similar success with her episode summary of Season 2, Episode 24 (3:20), an episode that involves: one bathroom, three women (7:00); Preston Burke moping about sex (12:30); Denny's readiness to shake off his mortal coil already (19:05); a "hillbilly picnic" (28:50); one very melodramatic reconciliation scene (40:00); Derek and Meredith and the birth of their ship name, #Meredick (48:00); and this week's M&M (55:48) which includes a deeply queer, deeply TRAGIC Song of the Week, as well as a rare Worst Song of the Week. LONG LIVE #MEREDICK

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 23 of Grey's Anatomy where we begin, NATURALLY, with a Lenny Kravitz tangent before diving into which terrible post-coitus scene in the opener is the absolute WORST post-coitus scene of the opener; the not-so-meaningful differences between McVet and McDreamy (17:15); Burke, George, and the one and only Gene McFoot (23:00); our personal Gene McFoots; a heated debate over Alex Karev as either proletariat hero or misogynist villain (40:00); Denny continues to delay the inevitable (59:00); and our weekly M&M (1:04:15) including two STELLAR Songs of the Week. See you next week!

Take a deep dive into Season 2, Episode 22 of Grey's Anatomy: "The Name of the Game." Join us as we complete our Rounds (2:10) and explore our feelings for McVet (6:15); a truly terrible Game Night and the implications for the Burke/Yang relationship (13:15); LAURIE METCALF in her first run as the mom from Ladybird and our divergent views on her character's terrible daughter (30:00); even when he's largely right, Karev can't help but Karev (39:50); aNOTHER Grey and a very interesting medical case (45:20); Izzie Steven is a racist -- tell your friends -- and the trouble with Callie's characterization so far (1:03:45); and our Morbidity and Mortality for Episode 22 (1:09:15) which includes a real throwback for Song(s) of the Week. Join us next week for S2E23!

Welcome to this week's edition of Code Grey(s) where we are tackling an epidemic of SUPERSTITION in Season 2, Episode 24.

Join us next week, as we continue our march to the Season 2 Finale!

This week, we cover S2E20 of Grey's Anatomy -- a somewhat uninteresting episode that we still managed to talk about for 1 hour and 12 entire minutes!

Join us as we discuss The Least Convincing Friendship Ever (5:00); the sad decline of one Addison Montgomery Shepherd (18:00); some restaurant fellatio gone DEEPLY wrong (31:00); Derek's surprising humanity (42:00); and this week's M&M (57:00) -- including a surprising candidate for Karev of the Week and a profound(ly dated) Line of the Week.
