Let me say first off that this picture of Dr. Mark McSteamy (Eric Dane) on the right has absolutely nothing to do with last night's episode of "Grey's Anatomy" or why it was the gayest episode of the series ever. But I posted it because I haven't watched the show in a few weeks (no, I don't have TiVo...GASP!) and this is the first week that I really got it: McSteamy is HOT! Not just physically, but in the way that he is an unapologetic tramp! He wants to sleep with everybody and makes no bones about it. I say it will be difficult for Meredith or anyone to resist his charms. Anywayh. McSteamy and Meredith treat a patient who is set for a male-to-female sex change operation (with the support of the woman who married him as a man) but complications arise when the paitent is diagnosed with breast cancer caused by the hormones she had been taking. Best chance for survival: stop taking the hormones and revert back to a man. "She'll go back to being an unhappy man with a penis," McSteamy tells Meredith. "Just like millions of us."
This episode was a real departure because most of the male doctors (McSteamy excepted) go on a fishing trip and also along are Joe the bartender and his partner of 10 years, Walter! Cool!
How all the hunky docs (plus the hospital chief) get the same day off, I do not know. For those of us aware of the big on-set fight between Patrick Dempsey and Isaiah Washington that resulted in T.R. Knight coming out, the fishing trip was a chance to see how these actors interact on screen. Washington and Knight had a scene together as did Washington and Dempsey and all seemed normal between their characters.

The brawl in the episode was between Knight's Geroge O'Malley and Alex. But it was only an open-handed fight because they are surgeons and no matter how pissed off they are at each other, they can't damage the hands! Walter ends up getting knocked down in the fracas and cutting his head. He says to Joe: "Next time, we're NOT going camping with straight guys."
Anyway, Chief Webber does not know that Joe and Walter are a couple and wants to sleep in their tent with them. When he finally realizes they want to be alone and are gay, he starts blurting out funny things to show he's cool with it: "Wonderful!" "Man love!" "Beautiful!" "My cousin is gay!"
Later, the chief is fishing next to Joe and asks how long he and Walter have been together.
"Ten years. We're thinking about kids," Joe says. "I can't imagine my life without him."
Later, Chief Webber tells Derrick (Dempsey): "They're a happy couple...I miss my wife."
