I was just so relieved Sam and Dean weren't at odds at the end that the rest of it didn't bother me so much.
The George thing was awful awful. Basically, he reveals he just enlisted in the army (there was a long plot arc leading up to this; it made a certain amount of sense though it was still fairly out of left field) and you think he's gone off to a long surgery. Then a little later this horrible horrible trauma case comes in--a guy pushed a girl out of the way of a truck and got horribly, disfiguringly mangled and his body basically destroyed, and no one thinks he will live and he barely even looks human, and there are lots of surgeries on him that are just sort of backdrop to the relationship stuff going on in the background. He can't speak or write, though at one point he tries to communicate with Meredith but can't hold a pen. No one thinks he's going to make it. And only at the very end of the ep doesn Meredith figure out it's George, and we last see him crashing in surgery, just after the chief has revealed he gave George the day off since he's going into the army the next day.
Meanwhile, Izzie had skin cancer that metastatized and gave her lots of hallucinations of Denny for many episodes. (The hallucinations were how she figured out she was sick). Her condition has been getting worse for the last 6 eps, so much so that she and Alex actually got married in the last ep since it looked like she would die. It appeared today she had had successful brain surgery to remove a tumor, but at the end of the episode she too crashed.
