Grey’s Anatomy Recap: Stayin’ Alive


This week, a heat wave leaves Seattle sweatier than a disco club while patients (and a couple of doctors) fight for their lives.

Grey’s Anatomy might’ve built its puckishly earnest legacy one tenuously deployed title song at a time, but calling an episode about a heat wave “Drop It Like It’s Hot” has bravely charted a whole new level of audacity. The weird thing about this episode is that you can divide everyone into two camps: the steely-nerved doctors who understand that there’s a genuine emergency afoot and the weirdos who seem to be living in their own world, completely oblivious to the (probably) climate-change-induced disaster that’s unfolding around them. This grumpiness is richly ironic, given that Owen seems totally starry-eyed when he sees his childhood friend Nora has returned to Grey Sloan for a follow-up appointment after she showed up with a surgical complication a few weeks ago.
