Alex Karev is chief of surgery.
Excuse me,interimchief of surgery.
And maybe not for long after he puts his first day in the books.
It turns out Evil Spawn is not a natural when it comes to this job.
He screws up the OR boards!
He unknowingly spends the entire quarters budget in one day!
Alex fires Roy in a fiery tirade that he seems to enjoy.
Even still, its not a great first day.
A high-school shop teacher, Mr. Buckley, collapses and sends a student into a table saw.
They discover his blood-alcohol level is extremely high.
While Link is working on the teachers amputated fingers, Webber wants to talk to him alcoholic-to-alcoholic.
Likely story, Webber says!
No one wants to see these two fighting!
It feels unnatural, doesnt it?
Theres no way Mr. Buckley is an alcoholic.
Mr. Buckley gets tipsy from two sips of champagne.
Hes not hiding any deep, dark secret.
Could Webber have gotten this wrong?
He visits Buckley and pours the guy some vodka.
You know, just in case.
But did you guys really think Webber would be that cruel?
The vodka was water, and after he saw Buckley refuse the drink, he dug a little deeper.
Buckley has auto-brewery syndrome his body takes sugar and immediately ferments it into alcohol.
So if the guy ate some Jell-O, hed get drunk.
Rare medical condition or not, Alex is still pissed about Webbers methods and demeanor.
Webber doesnt much care what Alex thinks.
How long will this feud go on?
Alex isnt the only one having a tough day lets check in with Maggie.
Not that Maggies ever been a chill person, but our girl is extremely anxious at the moment.
Shes the only person who knows Teddy is pregnant with Owens baby (where are you, Teddy?!
Mags looks like she might vomit.
But she doesnt vomit!
Instead, she not-so-smoothly attempts to offer Amelia other male options.
How about DeLuca, who is looking extra-hot these days with a classic motorcycle-sunglasses combo?
If he doesnt do it for you, take a look at that new ortho guy, Dr. Lincoln.
Hes cute, right?
Amelia is adamant that she and Owen are the real deal this time.
Oh, and she likes Italian food.
When this whole thing goes down, Amelia is downright offended.
She goes off on Maggie over the intercom while Maggie is in surgery with Owen and DeLuca.
Owen isnt happy with Maggie, doubting their feelings.
DeLuca, on the other hand, is mostly just shocked shed be okay with him dating her sister.
And she looked at him?
IS THIS HAPPENING?).
But Maggie keeping Teddys secret isnt the only thing bothering her today.
Shes also upset because wait for it Jackson is gone.
He just up and left, you guys!
But thats what he does.
The hospital staff gets an email from Jackson stating that hes on leave.
Maggie gets a voice-mail.
He needs to clear his head and figure things out and unplug.
She had a near-death experience that day with the van, too.
Later, she goes to text him that they need to talk, but decides against sending it.
What this means for their relationship, we have yet to see.
All I know is, this dude better come back to Grey Sloan with a Finding Myself Beard.
Isnt that what happens when you go and clear your head in an undisclosed location?
She orders Meredith go on a shopping field trip and buy herself five bomb outfits.
GIVE US THE DARK AND TWISTY FASHION MONTAGE.
Im an award-winning surgeon and I pay someone whose job it is to find me a sex life.
kindly hold Meredith and Alexs friendship in your heart like the treasure it is.
In the midst of their chaotic days, they need some one-on-one time.
Meredith tells Alex hes a great chief and Alex tells Meredith that she deserves to be picky.
Im grateful for how much Meredith shades Amelia.
Do we care about this yet?
(Okay, and his tiny magnifying surgical glasses!)
Sure, he and Webber have it out about a patient, that doesnt mean they cant be friends.
He pushes the lonely guy to join him and DeLuca at Joes.
Here for this bromance.
Also here for Links use of the word soda pop.
I cannot be alone in this.
Lets do this thing!
Still over here waving my flag for Tom Koracick.
We saw him get down and dirty in the ER and OR.
Next week is a crossover withStation 19, so buckle up!
We can handle it, weve handled worse!
