What I love about Grey's Anatomy two-parters is that every character goes through an important story; it doesn't just focus on one set of characters in particular.
Meredith for example deals with her declining mother and her snoring. McDreamy is finding it hard to sleep beside M who doesn't think she snores because her mum didn't. Her father is in the hospital visiting his new grand daughter and she learns over the course of this episode that she is much more like her father than her mother. Quite big stuff really as the lack of father issue has been bubbling since the first series.
As for George, his father undergoes the surgery for the cancer and things don't go at all well. G asks to be kept informed of everything going on however his father (privately) asks Bailey and the Chief to cut all of the cancer regardless of how bad it is, leaving him on life support. Sadly he doesn't wake up and his family have a heart-wrenching decision to make (although what was nice is that he asked Callie to sit in with them when they made the decision).
Addison regrets an event back in New York; it seems McSteamy wasn't the only to do the McDirty in their relationship (they don't have a McRelationship as it isn't Meredith). ANYWAY, she seems to be putting these feelings onto Alex and you can feel the chemistry bubbling away there like a toy chemistry set.
Cristina is not talking to Burke who is not talking to Cristina. This whole scenario PISSED me off as I could not see the point. No grown adults would act like this for so long!
Izzie meanwhile finally cashes the cheque to pay for an operation for this young lady who has a twisted spine so the girl can walk again. The scene where she cashes the "GODDAM CHEQUE ALREADY!" is TV gold. What isn't gold though is how she is again getting hooked and emotionally involved to a patient. Bailey summed it up when she asked why did she pay for the operation; Izzie gingerly answered because she wanted to help the girl whilst Bailey duly noted that the answer she was looking for was because she wanted to scrub in. Izzie later sticks up for her decision saying she will always get emotionally attached however she has been hurt way too much for her to go down the same route as she did with Denny. That is a strange argument to me. If you get emotionally attached then by definition your emotions are more important than the facts. Hmmm. Can't see how that one will pan out!
Amazing television though...
