'Grey's Anatomy' Review - 8.14 All You Need is Love

        In the newest episode of ABC's Grey's Anatomy, Meredith and Derek try to have a night to themselves when Lexie offers to watch Zola; Callie hands babysitting duties to Mark so that she can surprise Arizona with a romantic evening; and Ben proves to Bailey that he knows her better than she thinks. Meanwhile, the ER fills with romantics, including a 10 year old girl with an allergic reaction to chocolate and a man who is hit by a car while chasing down his frustrated girlfriend.

        When Derek and Meredith weren't trying to have time to themselves, it was so nice and refreshing to see them working together on a medical case albeit only for one short scene. It only proves that now since the couple is back in a happy place Mer should return to neuro. The episode description would have you believe that this episode would be filled with cute with Mer and Derek moments and they did have their fair share but they did not dominate the hour.
        Mer's case turned into a partnership with Bailey as they continually tried to find the pinpoint of a woman's disease in her body. The case caused Bailey to keep postponing her dinner plans with Ben and in the end he surprised her with a sweet, romantic meal at the hospital that he planned all along because "he knows her."
        Teddy has never been a fan favorite character but lately she has been turning that around. She deserved to give that speech to Owen - he just can't think that everything can go back to normal just like that after lying to her.

        Owen and Christina relationship continued to breakdown as Owen announced that he was going to move out. That admission at the beginning of the hour was direct and shocking. The two (along with Teddy) had to work on a patient and the awkwardness was very palpable in the room. These two both still love each other as evidenced by the concluding scene between the two in their special air vent room but it will definitely be interesting to see how they came overcome their differences in ideals.

Side Notes:

• I just wish the show would make a firm decision concerning the Mark-Lexie relationship! Just reunite them or break them up permanently so they both can receive better stories!
• Alex had a few sweet moments dealing with his kid patient and further proved why he will be a great pediatrics physician.
• Nice to see that the show hasn't forgotten about Derek's trailer.
• Richard and Adele continue to break my heart with her tragic dementia.
