In this episode of Grey's Anatomy, Meredith is forced to make a tough decision when her alcoholic absentee father shows up in the ER in need of a liver transplant. Meanwhile, Izzie lets her battle with cancer cloud her judgment in the treatment of a patient, and Mark gives an elderly patient his final wish, despite objections from the patient's family. Plus: Callie goes back and forth in her mind about asking the Chief for her job back, and Cristina searches desperately for surgeries to keep her busy.

I will post a full recap later, but please use the space after the jump to begin discussing the episode.

Premise: Surgical residents at a Seattle teaching hospital hone their bedside manners on and off the job in this medical drama, which parlayed a cushy initial time slot (post-'Desperate Housewives') and a hefty dollop of sex and romance into immediate success. Indeed, in the opener, intern Meredith Grey sleeps with attending Derek ('McDreamy') Shepherd the night before starting work at Seattle Grace and discovers the next day that he's her boss. Their romantic ups and downs became the series' keystone.
