So the theme on this week show seemed to be that nobody wanted to talk to one another.

Derek and Meredith had a “no talking about work” rule, which seemed to be working for them. But in reality they were just ignoring the problems that are the issues in their marriage. Meredith was also working in Ortho to be near Zola.

Christina and Owen weren’t talking at all, unless it involved sexting one another! They too are ignoring the bigger issue.

Callie felt Mark and Arizona were doing too much talking (and cooking) and it was interfering in her sex life.

The Chief didn’t want to talk to Bailey about what she was screwing up with the diabetes trial, so he used Meredith, who was being used by April, who Bailey initially hired to be her assistant. When Meredith (with the Chief’s help) figured out what was wrong, Bailey was fuming and fired April and told Meredith to stay away from her trial.

5th year was starting to get to the residents. They had to defend any bad surgeries during their boards, so they have been playing it way too safe. I have a feeling Meredith will end up being the rock star of the group in the end.

I actually really liked this episode. It was for the most part light, upbeat and funny. I really loved that April finally found her voice and told the others that they had to do what she said or she’d make their lives a living hell. It’s about time. Go April!

The whole “not talking” about the issues thing is eventually going to bite all the couples in the butt. But for a change it was nice seeing Derek being civil to Meredith.
