    Episode Cast?

    It seems that everyone in the episode cast is also in the series cast. Is this normal? Why is there no listing for other characters? For example, Dr. Webber's patient, Olivia, is played by the always-amazing Mary Kay Place, but is not listed. Her daughter looks familiar, but is not listed in this cast.

    Neither Meredith's patient or Christine's patient are listed. Dr. Torres is also not listed. It makes you wonder how the information is provided for this part of the database. The names of episode cast members are usually listed at the beginning of the episode; why are these names not in the database?

    Classic greys episode

    This was a good episode but Izzie was already getting over the top annoying acting all high and mighty and George was a close second.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Every episode of the show is named after a famous song. "Superstition" is a song by Stevie Wonder.
    • Goofs
      When you first see Izzie looking at the OR board after she's been thrown out of Burke's operation, there are some sections of one of the operations rubbed out. When you next see her looking at the OR board (after Alex has bet that "Burke's guy went down"), the row is magically filled up. Meredith and Bailey come along and Meredith rubs out the same sections again.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Meredith Grey: Superstition lies in the space between what we can control and what we can't. Find a penny pick it up, and all day long you will have good luck. No one wants to pass up a chance for good luck, but does saying it 33 times really help? I mean is anyone really listening, and if no one is listening why do we bother doing those strange things at all? We rely on superstition because we are smart enough to know we don't have all the answers, and that life works in mysterious ways. Don't diss the ju ju from wherever it comes.
