Cheers to George!
CONGRATULATIONS to none other than Dr. George O’Malley, now a full-fledged resident!! That’s right folks, Georgie passed his intern exam (finally)!! Whoo-hooo!!
Just about everybody rolled through the bar tonight to buy George a drink. And, let me tell you, my man was pretty drunk by the time he left. Let’s just hope George doesn’t go home tonight and do something crazy… You know, the last time I saw O’Malley this drunk, well, we all know what happened then...
Speaking of Izzie…
It sounded like she got the best non-apology ever from Alex tonight. By the way, I bought her a shot after she called Alex a “tool.” Classic! I mean, evil spawn was acting pretty tool-ish. Everybody else was giving George high-fives and body shots and where was Alex?? Well, he was all sad and depressed and moping up at the bar – “life sucks,” “Izzie stole my surgery,” “crazy Ava’s gone,” “my cat has cancer,” wah wah!!
Anyhoo, Alex FINALLY told Izzie he was sorry for acting like a jerk. Now, he didn’t say those words, exactly, but, he sorta mumbled some roundabout ‘sorry you’re the only one I can be mean to’ speech. It was all very Alex and, well, at least it was a start. Hey, it was good enough for Izzie. She actually sat with him for a while, eventually getting Alex to laugh and – shocker – have a little fun! Good times, all around.
Now, can somebody please tell me if George and Lexie had a falling out or something? I thought they were friends. Best friends. Well, your best friend doesn’t sit on the opposite side of the bar when you pass your intern exam. And that’s exactly what Lexie did tonight. All night. She didn’t stay for very long, and – you know what – I don’t even think she said good-bye to George. Actually… I don’t even think George noticed. Uh-oh…
Derek made a special – albeit brief – surprise appearance tonight, too. It didn’t look like he was expecting to see Meredith having so much fun with her friends. Yeah, it seems like Derek didn’t want to interrupt or intrude, so he left… Meredith finished her drink and followed her man soon after…
Alright – the bar’s a mess right now. Intern Steve and company came in and went a little crazy, dousing O’Malley with silly string and beer. Needless to say, there’s a lot to clean up. Interns. Yay for George no longer being one of them…
CHEERS TO GEORGE!

George didn't even notice. UGH!!! Please writers, break Lexie's dependency of George and get her some steam from the steamiest guy himself, Mark McSteamy Sloan.

Surely you're being sarcastic with the 'best non-apology ever' .. right?
Treating people badly because you've got issues does not take away the fact that you're still treating people badly. Or person.. in this instance. Izzie. So that was far from any kind of apology known to man.
Lexie is George's best friend? I thought Izzie was.

Goerge is the best!!
I'm wondering what's going to happen between him and lexie, it's very weird that she didn't join the celebration, isn't it?
who knows?

how awful that George blew off Lexie for his other friends. George needs to find out soon so he can tell Lexie they are just friends and then she can move on with Mark. She belongs with Mark.

I really think George was awful to Lexi. He blew her off as soon as he passed the exam and since he is no-longer-an-intern he partied with his other non-intern friends. I would like to see Lexi hook up with McSteamy!

I really enjoyed reading about Alex and Izzie...its really about they show some spot light on them. They really do look great together...lets some thing really good steam uP!

You should let George that that is not a way to treat a friend.

I agree, Joe, that it was nice to see Alex semi-apologize to Izzie for his recent behavior. Izzie hasn't been the easiest person to like lately, but I enjoyed seeing her stand up for herself and defend her surgical turf. You go girl!
Poor Lexie. George is clueless. Too bad Mark Sloan wasn't in the bar at the time to keep her company.
Hope we get to see you this week, Joe. Nice to have you back.

Lexie is out of her league with Mark.Maybe when George come down from his "I passed my exam cloud"he'll realize what a gem Lexie is.
