Chief Webber's lecture tied all three stories together, and was a good platform for him to openly discuss his recent leadership problems. It was a good way for him to go, if he is in fact leaving. I haven't heard anything about Pickens leaving the show, so I'm assuming he'll stick around for a while as Meredith's mentor/charge. I know Shonda loves the Chief, but it might be hard for him to stay relevant since there are so many characters at Seattle Grace to deal with as it is.
Other things:
- Calliope Torres is my favorite character. She was the underdog in the beginning, the newcomer that no one liked. Her relationship (and subsequent marriage) to George was sudden and kind of out of the blue, and it was an unpleasant surprise to the Fab Five Original Interns as well as viewers who expected him to end up with Izzie or nurse Olivia. This episode explored Callie's time at Seattle Grace pre-O'Malley, when she had a brief fling with Alex. Shocker! It also gave us a peek at petrified Callie, who can't make a speech if her life depended on it. Sara Ramirez is adorable, and proved over the past few seasons to be undeniably likable.
- Loved Bailey hitting Cristina in the face with candy.
- J. August Richards as young Webber and Sarah Paulson as young Ellis were spot-on, personality- and appearance-wise. I was a bit distracted by the silly hairpiece, but it was an interesting look into their past nonetheless. Little Meredith with Anatomy Jane escorted by a ridiculous looking Thatcher was a highlight.
