    Robbing a bank...

    This episode is AMAZING! I love it! The tension, oh the tension!!! High tempo, nail biting tension.

    Incredibly well played out, by everyone. But especially Sandra Oh, she rocks!

    In between all the dramatic tension, it is so nice to have the Louise O'Malley scenes, to lighten everything up.

    The music in this episode is also brilliant.

    What I love about this episode is that it manages to keep the excitement up without having to use an overdramatic story. This is very realistic hospital drama, no need to kill off a number of cast members to make this episode as great as it is. The early Grey's Anatomy did this so well, to make a real thriller while keeping it realistic. Later on in the seasons they tend to go overboard with the unrealistic drama, and that is so sad, watching this one, and how they balance it so masterly.

    TENSION TENSION TENSION

    Absolutely loved this episode. The tension between the characters, the tension in nearly each scene, the tension in the OR rooms; brilliant. This episode definitely belonged to Sandra Oh.

    • Trivia
      This is the second episode to be narrated by someone other than Meredith, in this case, Cristina.
    • Goofs
      Many of the doctors throughout the show are shown crying, getting blood splattered on their face, etc. In the O.R. with only masks on, no eye protection. Eye protection is a part of scrub in real life, to protect the patient and staff.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Erica Hahn: So how have you been Preston? Last time I saw you, you stole my patient's heart. Then you got shot. Karma rocks.
