Grey's: "We own this hospital"

From the moment the Mercy West employees arrive, they are seen as invaders and intruders, but what is forgotten is that in the end they all need to work together or else the patients suffer, which is what happened in a few cases tonight. The new and old doctors steal each other's patients, fight to answer questions, show up others, try to find the other's weak spots, make others look like idiots, etcetera. And, because the Mercy West doctors are wearing orange scrubs instead of the normal blue, you immediately know for which team you are supposed to play. But some of the patients are aware of the doctors competing and notice that because of the feud, the patients are not getting the care they deserve. So, while more doctors should mean better care, in this case it is the opposite.

Anyway, here is a bit about other stuff that happened on tonight's episode.

- In an odd turn of events, Meredith, who is still recovering from her surgery last week, is the one who is keeping everyone positive throughout the merger. Usually a pessimist, she's the one who reminds the doctors that they deserve to be there and should show the Mercy West doctors who owns the hospital.
- Callie's father shows up at the hospital with the family priest hoping to talk Callie into not being gay. Arizona points out that Callie is the one who changed the game by becoming something no one expected, and Callie agrees to talk with her father. But things do not go well and Callie ends up disowning him because he should not even consider turning his back on her. Arizona then talks to Callie's dad about her own experience with her family when she came out and she helps him realize that he has to show her he still loves her, which he does.
- In a scene between Izzie and one of the new doctors, the new doctor explained to Izzie how at Mercy West each doctor looks out for themselves. He even says that the doctors may be friends outside of work, but are not friends while at work. This seems kind of shocking since at Seattle Grace it is the complete opposite, and Izzie says this. She tells him how at their hospital the doctors look out for the whole and support one another.
- Cristina breaks down to Meredith and admits she misses Burke, not because she loved him, but because with him around she had the opportunity to learn and grow as a doctor. She also admits that she now feels invisible at work, which must be an awful feeling.
- Izzie made a stupid mistake with a patient, giving her too much medicine, and Bailey blames this on the fact that she was probably too distracted trying to show off in front of the new doctors. This mistake may lead to the patient's death, but it definitely led to Izzie being fired from the hospital. The chief announced the removal after the mistake and said other doctors have voiced their concern about her returning to work. While it was understood that she wouldn't take this news well, what she did was unexpected: She wrote Alex a note telling him she was leaving him. And that was that.
