    Arizona got IZZIEd.

    "She slept with my husband." "She's the woman Arizona slept with last night." -Callie losing her cool but keeping her cool at the same time. :D

    Arizona cheating seems like a Deja vu for Callie in early seasons with George and Izzie. Izzie was and still is my all time favorite Grey's character. But never liked the George/Izzie storyline. And didn't like this Arizona/Lauren storyline either.

    And I didn't like Callie in early seasons but she's becoming one of my faves in later seasons.

    Arizona cheating is so out of her character though. It felt rushed and pushed.

    Tired off killing characters for drama....

    Literally the only way Grey's writers know how to inject drama into the series is to kill them off, it's lazy and tired by the 10th season. Up to this point Grey's had been pretty steady at providing good content, the writing was good, great acting and solid production. We see a reduction in the writing during Season 10. Not sure if the writing room was running out of ideas, or what, but it becomes very evident throughout the season. Constant recycling of old plotlines by characters.

    Decent episode, sad to see Tina Majorino leave the series as she was one of the stronger supporting characters. I feel like her character had way more story to tell. Drama and comedy come naturally, or it feels like, when a show is really good. Grey's begins to feel forced and ham handed.

    • Trivia
      Every episode is named after a song. "Seal Our Fate" is a song by Brad Paisley.
    • Goofs
      In the season finale of season 9, Jackson runs into the burning bus to save a little girl, Evie. In the process though, he hurts his arm/elbow. Season 10 begins right where season 9 ends (meredith is still recovering from surgery and the power had just come back on), yet Jackson's arm is mysteriously recovered.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Richard Webber: [closing voiceover] A doctor puts on his white coat to save lives, defy death, but once he takes it off, he's vulnerable, just like anybody else. Human. We're all gonna die. We don't get much say over how or when. But we do get to decide how we're gonna live. So do it. Decide. Is this the life you want to live? Is this the person you want to love? Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More compassionate? Decide. Breathe in. Breathe out. And decide.
