Consider it a Valentine\u2019s Day miracle: Only one patient died on Grey\u2019s Anatomy last night. And as we all know, that\u2019s a pretty low body count for this sometimes horrific, unforgiving show. But why so little bloodletting? Well mostly because, as I said, it was Cupid\u2019s Day, so on this latest new episode -- titled \u201cAll You Need Is Love\u201d -- stayed true to its slug and was almost entirely focused on the relationships between the doctors of Seattle Grace. <\/p>\n
I know, I know, you're asking: Isn\u2019t Grey\u2019s always relationship-focused? Why, yes, but it was even moreso last night, as most of the relationships on the show moved forward in some way, starting with Derek and Meredith, who -- channeling rabbits -- tried their best to have sex out of the way of Zola. Luckily, they finally got to make it happen, thanks to Lexie, who took the little tyke off their hands on Valentine\u2019s Day evening. <\/p>\n
Even Lexie -- who's not technically in a relationship right now -- saw her love life possibly take a giant leap forward. Much of this season we\u2019ve watched as she danced around Mark, trying to decide if she still loves him and whether she should make some kind of move, despite him having a new girlfriend in Julia. Last night, Lexie got as close as she has, when she showed up at his place, Zola in tow, to try to tell him that she\u2019s still in love with him. It\u2019s unclear if she did say anything, but one thing was clear: Sloan seemed willing to listen to something, anything, from Lexie. <\/p>\n
The boldness by Lexie was spurred largely by the case that she worked on that day with Webber. Yes -- however sadly -- she was working on the patient who died. At first, the case seemed like the most annoying thing ever: A mad girlfriend had chased her boyfriend to the point that he\u2019d been hit by a car, after he didn\u2019t propose to her on Valentine\u2019s Day and instead gave her \u201canother cheap necklace.\u201d The disgusting, all-too-realistic, wedding-obsessed woman railed on at him, as he was being wheeled around the hospital. Eventually, he worsened, coded, and -- yes, very unfortunately -- died. And then came the bone-chilling part of the night that caused Lexie to run over to Mark\u2019s: She found the \u201ccheap necklace\u201d the guy had given the girl in his things and inside the locket was hand-written, very simply, \u201cWill you marry me?\u201d Heart, dagger. Dagger, heart. Have you two met? Well, now you have. <\/p>\n
Cristina and Owen were dealing with their own romantic woes, too. (Maybe \u201cromantic\u201d isn\u2019t the right word for their issues, actually.) Cristina began the episode by telling Meredith that Owen was about to leave her. \u201cAnd you know what?\u201d she rattled on to Meredith, acting stronger than she was. \u201cI don\u2019t care. If he wants to leave, if he wants to hate me, then fine. I can\u2019t make someone stay.\u201d After that nightmare of a fight they had at Zola\u2019s birthday party two episodes ago, the pair have been in a stand-off: Even a careening van of flowers that almost killed them couldn\u2019t get them to care much for each other. \u201cAre you okay? Are you sure?\u201d Owen asked, before turning away, as if he didn\u2019t care. Ouch. <\/p>\n
