WHAT WE LEARNED

Late for Love: It's taken eight seasons but we finally realize why the dating pool of our doctors is so small: not because they need to service the show's cast within the walls of Seattle Grace, it's because they are too busy to date out of the hospital! Fellow docs make very forgiving dates. Lucky for Bailey (Chandra Wilson), her hot doctor boyfriend understands the pressures of her job and makes the most romantic in hospital date right under the wire before they all turn into pumpkins! It's pretty cute seeing Bailey finally happy and not forever having to explain why she has to be at the hospital so much. Doctors for everyone!

Won't Beg: Behold the magic healing power of the boiler room. It's like that giant rhythmic fan has healing hypnosis powers. Just two sessions, some sincere tearful begging from Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd) is feeling a bit more willing to forgive. We hope those crazy kids can work it out. But never willing to forgive is Teddy (Kim Raver). In fact we think Owen better watch out for a scalpel to the back. We get that she's still grieving, despite her protests, but wishing Owen died it Iraq? Harsh, dude. Way harsh.

Lexie's Exes: Who knew that sweet innocent Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh), whose heart lives in her vagina, would have one of the more complicated love lives on Grey's? We must say she is persistent. That girl will not let a lack of a date and babysitting duties keep her down. Adorable little Zola was a perfect wing woman when Aunt Lexie showed up to "talk" to Mark (Eric Dane). Good thinking, use the baby as an excuse! Shame Mark was already having a romantic date with his bromance, Jackson (Jesse Williams). Or was this really most gorgeous threesome on Grey's ever? Don't pretend it didn't cross your mind.

Bonus Awww: Callie (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona's (Jessica Capshaw) romantic date in Derek's trailer. Again: Awww. Do we really need to say anything else?

Grey's Anatomy Redux: Love Is in the Air but Not for Every Doctor!

Sandra Oh

Grey's Anatomy's Cristina and Owen have seen tough times: A quickie marriage, bouts of PTSD, an abortion, Owen's omission about Henry. It all reached the breaking point last week in a devastating fight that, unfortunately for the couple, most of Seattle Grace overheard.

Grey's Anatomy Scoop: MerDer happiness, a Cristina-Owen explosion and the alt-reality

It may seem like Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd) are moments away from divorce, but Sandra Oh tells TVGuide.com that they will make a real effort to mend the relationship starting Feb. 16, when the couple spends the entire episode with a therapist. "If you have ever been to couples therapy it's really, really challenging," Oh says, adding that she hopes the Owen-Cristina explosion does not spell the end of their marriage. "Every marriage has to go to a brink," she says. "Both of them are deeply hurt for their various reasons."

"You see a marriage in peril and we take our time exploring that quite honestly," Oh continues. "I'm extremely pleased with the storyline because a lot of times people get together, and break up or whatever, and it's fast. The writers are really taking their time to see when people are at loggerheads, and both sides of the argument can be understood. That's where it gets really, really tricky."

The tension between the couple will also begin to affect Cristina's other relationships. Uncharacteristically, Cristina won't even turn to Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) for comfort.

Says Pompeo: "Cristina doesn't want her help. She's dealing with it solo and pushing Meredith away. Certainly, it's going to get worse before it gets better."

Check out a sneak peek of this week's Grey's Anatomy, which airs Thursday at 9/8c on ABC.

Grey's Anatomy's Sandra Oh: Cristina and Owen Head to Couples Therapy!

Consider it a Valentine’s Day miracle: Only one patient died on Grey’s Anatomy last night. And as we all know, that’s a pretty low body count for this sometimes horrific, unforgiving show. But why so little bloodletting? Well mostly because, as I said, it was Cupid’s Day, so on this latest new episode -- titled “All You Need Is Love” -- stayed true to its slug and was almost entirely focused on the relationships between the doctors of Seattle Grace.

I know, I know, you're asking: Isn’t Grey’s always relationship-focused? Why, yes, but it was even moreso last night, as most of the relationships on the show moved forward in some way, starting with Derek and Meredith, who -- channeling rabbits -- tried their best to have sex out of the way of Zola. Luckily, they finally got to make it happen, thanks to Lexie, who took the little tyke off their hands on Valentine’s Day evening.

Even Lexie -- who's not technically in a relationship right now -- saw her love life possibly take a giant leap forward. Much of this season we’ve watched as she danced around Mark, trying to decide if she still loves him and whether she should make some kind of move, despite him having a new girlfriend in Julia. Last night, Lexie got as close as she has, when she showed up at his place, Zola in tow, to try to tell him that she’s still in love with him. It’s unclear if she did say anything, but one thing was clear: Sloan seemed willing to listen to something, anything, from Lexie.

The boldness by Lexie was spurred largely by the case that she worked on that day with Webber. Yes -- however sadly -- she was working on the patient who died. At first, the case seemed like the most annoying thing ever: A mad girlfriend had chased her boyfriend to the point that he’d been hit by a car, after he didn’t propose to her on Valentine’s Day and instead gave her “another cheap necklace.” The disgusting, all-too-realistic, wedding-obsessed woman railed on at him, as he was being wheeled around the hospital. Eventually, he worsened, coded, and -- yes, very unfortunately -- died. And then came the bone-chilling part of the night that caused Lexie to run over to Mark’s: She found the “cheap necklace” the guy had given the girl in his things and inside the locket was hand-written, very simply, “Will you marry me?” Heart, dagger. Dagger, heart. Have you two met? Well, now you have.

Cristina and Owen were dealing with their own romantic woes, too. (Maybe “romantic” isn’t the right word for their issues, actually.) Cristina began the episode by telling Meredith that Owen was about to leave her. “And you know what?” she rattled on to Meredith, acting stronger than she was. “I don’t care. If he wants to leave, if he wants to hate me, then fine. I can’t make someone stay.” After that nightmare of a fight they had at Zola’s birthday party two episodes ago, the pair have been in a stand-off: Even a careening van of flowers that almost killed them couldn’t get them to care much for each other. “Are you okay? Are you sure?” Owen asked, before turning away, as if he didn’t care. Ouch.

'Grey's Anatomy' recap: Love Is in the ER

Valentine's Day is a dangerous holiday at Seattle Grace.

Now that Cristina and Owen's issues have reached a boiling point on Grey's Anatomy, he's prepared to take the first steps towards ending their marriage by moving out. It also probably doesn't help that Owen tried to earn Teddy's forgiveness instead of Cristina's. Oh... and a car crashed through the ER!

Let's check out the top moments from this week's episode:

MerDer's sex issues: Because of baby Zola, Meredith and Derek are unable to find a place to make love in peace. They go so far as to try to have sex in the front of their car before they're interrupted by Lexie and, of course, Zola. Bummer.

Callie's big surprise: Callie has a surprise planned for Arizona this Valentine's Day. They're going... camping? First, though, Arizona and Mark play rock, paper, scissors to figure out who will be babysitting Sofia that night. After Mark loses, he enlists Jackson to baby sit. It turns out, Calzona aren't really camping. They're staying in Derek's trailer where Callie has filled the place with candles and made it very sensual and special for them. Sweet.

Owen's back in the boiler room: A great nod to the origins of Cristina and Owen's relationship, Owen stewed in his own pain amongst the hot air blowing through the room. Though Owen saved Cristina from a wayward car that drove through the ER, even the infamous makeout elevator was unable to help them reconcile as Owen told her that he plans to move out. Cristina later joins him in the boiler room and begs him to stay. Heartbreaking.

Lexie's hot date: After overhearing that Mark has big plans with Julia, Lexie pretends that she has a hot date that night... but her date is actually Zola, whom she'll be babysitting. Later joking to Webber, Lexie says, "I'm not hitting much of anything these days," before realizing how crass she sounded. When Julia stands Mark up, Jackson shows up to his place to make him dinner in exchange for helping him study for his boards. Under the guise that the babies can spend time together, Lexie brings Zola over to Mark's place so she can talk to him. Since Jackson is there, they never get the chance. Ho-hum.

Teddy's breaking point: After pointing out the Cris-Teddy-Owen issues to a resident during surgery, Owen attempts to get Teddy to join him for a drink at the bar. She finally goes off on him, screaming that she hates him and wishes he was dead instead of Henry. She tells him they're not friends anymore, and he shouldn't speak to her unless it's work related. Burn.

Reunited and it feels so good: After months of animosity, Meredith entices Bailey to spend Valentine's Day with her with a big box of chocolates and a juicy case. It's nice that they've finally put aside their issues. Lest Bailey miss her date with Ben, where he surprises her with a specially prepared meal at the hospital, Webber decides to stay and do an emergency surgery for her even though it's his anniversary. When he did go home to Adele, she didn't even recognize him. Ouch.

Installation artist, Ben Cuevas, created these series of knitted hoods based on layers of anatomy for a new exhibition in Beijing.

Ben says of his work:

They reveal that which is normally concealed while commingling notions of art, craft, fashion and design. The work is intended to be at once beautiful and grotesque, disturbing yet comforting, endearingly crafted yet fetishistically sinister, simultaneously serving as a meditation on the intricacies of the human form in all its multi-layered complexities.

Paris-based artist, Lou Giesen adorns the human body with, well, the human body.

Lou explains her work:

I have worked on the anatomy theme for my diploma the passed year and this theme which fascinate me cause of the infinite choice of material, texture, forms…and I think there is something strange to expose and wear the organs out of the body.  There is a contradiction between the vital aspect of the organ and the superficial aspect of the jewels…

I especially love the gold lungs that appear so delicate.  And the idea of having kidneys bobbling around your neck is strange, but oh so fun.  Fabulous concept!
