-------------
In the third season of Grey's Anatomy, one medical intern will
get married to a superior while another is left standing at the
altar. Two interns will lose their parents. And one main
character will try to commit suicide--or not fight very hard to
save her own life. There will be multiple hook-ups, infidelity,
and trust issues. In between the soap opera-style drama that
attracts millions of viewers in the US each week, interns
Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Izzie
Stevens (Katherine Heigl), Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), and
George O'Malley (T.R. Knight) will also perform some medical
miracles. At the end of season 2, Izzie was distraught over the
death of her fiancé, Denny. Now she finds that her very rich
boyfriend has left her millions of dollars. Instead of putting
the money into the bank and allowing it to accrue interest until
she decides what she wants to do with it--as sensible Dr. Miranda
Bailey (Chandra Wilson) suggests--Izzie mopes around the house in
an irritating stupor. Actually, irritating is an apt description
for several of the main characters. It takes a leap of faith to
believe that sexy, spectacular, and rich orthopedic surgeon
Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) would be even vaguely interested in
wishy-washy George. Previously, he'd convinced himself that he
was in love with Meredith. Now he's pining for his other
roommate, Izzie, even though he's already got Callie. And rather
than welcoming her into their fold, Izzie and Meredith (and to a
lesser extent Cristina) give Callie the mean-girls .
They may have rebuffed him at one point, but they don't want
Callie to have him, either. There is something very needy about
this group of interns who have no one to turn to but each other
when a crisis occurs.
Viewers get some in into "dark and twisty" Meredith's
upbringing, as she spends more time with her cold and demanding
mother, who is suffering from Alzheimer's, and her milquetoast
her, who didn't fight very hard to have contact with her as a
child after her mum kicked him out of their house. It's no wonder
Meredith ended up emotionally damaged and unwilling to completely
open up to Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) ... a.k.a. McDreamy.
Though the show's title implies that Meredith is the most
important character, it's not true. The ensemble cast, which also
includes James Pickens Jr. as Dr. Richard Webber (who had a long
and complicated affair with Meredith's mother) and Kate Walsh as
Derek's ex-wife Addison, is fantastic. And it's difficult to
outshine Oh, who has some of this season's funniest and emotional
moments as she navigates a relationship with Preston Burke
(Isaiah Washington), who is far more romantic and traditional
than she is. Though not as compelling as the show's debut season,
this third year still packs a strong emotional punch. --Jae-Ha
