Grey’s Anatomy-Tell me sweet little lies

20.00–22.00

Continuing tonight is the second season of the award-winning hospital drama, currently the toprated show in the US. Ellen Pompeo plays Meredith Grey, who, alongside fellow surgical interns Cristina Yang, Izzie Stevens, George O’Malley and Alex Karev, juggles her personal issues with the everyday life-or-death decisions she faces at work.

In tonight’s first episode, ‘Tell Me Sweet Little Lies’, Meredith upsets George; Cristina treats a guitarist who has been brought in with three of his fingers missing; Alex treats a Japanese competitive eater; and the heavily pregnant Bailey is finally forced to step down.

Since breaking up with Derek, Meredith has attempted to take her mind off him by bringing a dog home from the pound. However, the new addition to the family has not proved to be a hit with everyone in the house – he’s already used Izzie’s bed as a toilet and terrorised George. When George says it’s either him or the dog, he is hurt when Meredith hesitates before answering. But then he meets a charismatic elderly patient named Mrs Larson, who gives him some good advice that makes him decide to stand up for himself.

Cristina, meanwhile, has realised that Meredith is far from over her messy break-up. She wastes no time in letting Derek know what she thinks of him as they work on the grisly case of a guitarist who managed to sever three of his fingers in a backstage accident.

When Derek remonstrates with his intern over her less than supportive attitude towards the patient, she responds by rebelling even further – but it just so happens that Cristina’s harshness may have done the trick with the patient.

Alex’s patient is Yumi, a Japanese competitive eater who has torn her oesophagus in an event. She speaks no English, but her coach translates for her. Bailey tells him to let his young charge know that she must abstain from competing for the forseeable future, or risk further damage.
