Grey's Anatomy: Why, George?

"Grey's Anatomy" spoilers coming right up...

Oy. As if Izzie's recent behavior towards Callie wasn't disgusting enough, now George (admittedly, a blotto George) falls into bed with her?

So, so many things wrong with this. For starters, the writers had made it pretty clear in the past that George and Izzy didn't think about each in That Way, and while people can do all sorts of stupid stuff while drunk, George's reaction to Callie's accusation suggested that he really is attracted to Izzie but considers her out of his league.

Worse, there's a part of me that feels like George having sex with Izzie in some way justifies all the vile stuff Izzie's been slinging towards his wife in the last batch of episodes. The writers may not go that way -- after George and Meredith had their unfortunate very special time together, both characters came out looking badly -- but on initial reaction, George sleeping with this woman who's been so horrid to his wife is just about the worst thing anyone on this show has ever done. I'm not looking forward to any of the fallout from this, especially if the writers intend for Callie and George to get back together. Yuck.

The rest of the episode was pretty okay, I suppose. Three top-notch guest stars in Roger Rees (Robin Colcord, baby!), Shohreh Aghdashloo and James Gammon (always golden for pissing on Roger Dorn's contract), the long-awaited thaw in the Meredith/Thatcher relationship, and more humanizing of Alex in his relationship with Jane Doe. But the George/Izzie/Callie stuff leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.

What did everybody else think?
