Greys Anatomy season 11, episode 5 recap: Damage Control

Greys Anatomy takes you down a different path of marital woe tonight, as Callie and Arizona fight their way through, season 11, episode 5, Bend and Break.

Tonights Greys Anatomy tells the tale of the Callie and Arizona trial separation from both sides.

How does that make you feel? In a series of failed therapy appointments, Callie and Arizona sprint through a montage of outfit changes and every issue to creep into their happiness over the past five years. Callie becoming pregnant with Marks baby, Arizona going to Africa, the leg (oh, the leg!), right down to speaking too much and not listening enough.

Callie feels that she is always giving, a house here, looking the other way at an affair there, so why cant Arizona give her another child? In the end though, the reset button offers them a shot at survival. For 30 days they will share the same space, custody of Sophia, but there will be no communication with each other.

Arizona is fully committed, refusing to even look in Callies direction. Callie in turn, places her gaze on the bottle.

Arizona and Callie are not only facing their personal demons, but they are working through their case load as well.

Arizona passes off her infant with a gap in his esophagus to Alex after instructing the parents of the surgery she elects for him to perform. Alex and Jo complete the surgery and place the child in a coma, but the surgery is not smooth sailing.

Off in her new specialty training, Arizona is being upstaged by another fellow named Graham. He has been spending hours in the lab practicing and consistently kissing ass. Though acknowledged, his confidence does not waver in the face of a challenge. Unlike Arizona, Graham does not have his life crumbling beneath him. April assists Arizona with her prep by making Jell-O molds with grapes inside to replicate the fetus in utero. Practice makes perfect.

Graham continues to have large strides, but Arizona bounces back after suggesting that she not take over a procedure since she is not confident, the sign of an experienced surgeon. However, that card will not work in her favor for long.
