The Wire

Surprise birthday party is a disaster on ‘Grey’s

Arizona, on her birthday, was looking after a young cancer patient named Wallace who had become something of a favorite. When his parents asked for a meeting with Arizona, the Chief and the board guy, Arizona was terrified that she was about to be read the riot act. It turned out, however, that Wallace's parents wanted to contribute $25 million to the hospital.

Callie’s dad pays a visit to ‘Grey’s Anatomy’

The residents treated the new doctors from Mercy West as childishly as you might expect. The new Dr. Jackson Avery nevertheless made a good impression on Owen, much to Cristina's annoyance. Dr. Charles Percy tried to befriend Izzie, but after she came around, she learned that he was taking advantage of her, so she threw some coffee at him.

Brothers who killed father: ‘There is still hope’

In November 2001, Alex King, then 12, and his brother Derek, 13, were charged with murder in the bludgeoning death of their father. Today, having served time in prison, they are focusing on the future. “Hopefully we can learn from our past,” Derek said.

Boy is OK after tree branch skewered his neck

It was no twig the 12-year-old boy held up, but a thick stick, about 9 inches long and as thick as a broom handle. What made it astonishing is that the full length of it had been driven into his neck and down into his chest — through his lung, past vital arteries and his heart.

Surprise event livens up ‘Grey’s Anatomy’

Meredith and Derek were anticipating their wedding, but not as much as Izzie was. She received clearance from Bailey to leave the hospital and do her bridesmaid duties, but once Bailey and Alex had left the room, she had another vision of Dead Denny Duquette, who takes a hint worse than any ghost ever. Izzie fessed up to Derek that she was seeing Denny again, and Derek finally located a very small new and inoperable tumor.

Izzie helps Meredith choose a dress on ‘Grey’s’

Callie thought she had issues when her father came to town during her tumultuous George problems, but this time, she had to decide whether to introduce him to Arizona. After watching her father attack George and Mark for their roles in her life, Callie decided to tell him the truth. Her father, unfortunately, demanded that Callie quit her job and her relationship and leave with him. He even tried to bribe the Chief to transfer her somewhere else. Though guilt-ridden over all he’s done for her, Callie finally walked away from her father to hang on to her life.

Owen tries to strangle Cristina on ‘Grey's’

Snoozing beside Owen turned dangerous for Cristina when McArmy woke up in the middle of a nightmare and tried to choke her. He apologized profusely, and Cristina was quick to forgive. Later, as Owen watched a helicopter’s blades, he began having flashbacks. Derek tried to persuade Owen to get treatment for post-traumatic stress, but Owen wouldn’t — he simply had sex with Cristina instead. Later, though, she confessed that she was afraid to fall asleep with him and they sadly broke up. But at least he finally went to Derek for help.

McDreamy turns McUgly on ‘Grey's’

When last we saw Derek, his pregnant patient had died. He fell into a deep depression, camping on the couch without benefit of razor or shower. Meredith’s friends eyeballed him suspiciously as he morphed into a mountain man, but things got even worse when he learned at a deposition that more of his patients die than live. Choosing to see himself as an accomplished serial killer, McDreamy refused to do any more operating and walked out of the hospital.

On ‘Grey's Anatomy,’ not all wishes come true

The Chief finally realized that the reason his hospital fell to #12 in national rankings is because it's one big petri dish of crazy. Strangely, it took the death of a fellow doctor to make him realize that a constantly revolving door of docs and interns who operate on each other is pretty weird. When doctors who were approached to replace the deceased doc refused to interview at Seattle Grace, the Chief sank into a funk that lasted almost the entire show. He snapped out of it at the end, but it's really not clear why. It's not like the hospital got any saner while he moped.

Review: ‘Madagascar 2’ just shallow in the jungle

Yes, computer animators, it’s really cool how you make each individual hair in a lion’s mane stand out. And the way you fill the screen with striped zebras is a wonder to behold. But is it too much to ask for these feature cartoons to have a story that isn’t about the hero’s quest to prove himself? Could we put Joseph Campbell back on the shelf and find a new dramatic archetype?
