Derek was standing in the midst of chaos and bringing order–in the circumstances of the show he was a messiah figure.  Of course contrast that with the whole doctor-god complex which I won’t go off on a tangent of, but that was there in his proclamation of himself as neuro god as well.

He didn’t become a surgeon because of the high–but because of the quiet. The peace. The order.

He came from a home with 4 sisters–lots of noise and chaos and excitement. And he was drawn to the quiet, the peace, the order.

And this is in contrast to last week.

EVERYONE, under Derek’s watch, was working TOGETHER. The competition was put aside. People had each other’s backs–and last week, it was chaos. Everyone was cutthroat–and someone’s throat constricted and choked the life out of them.

Chaos versus Order

The hospital under the Chief vs. under Derek.

The irony–is that Derek had to violate orders in order to do this.

but Isaac–what an awesome character. Pushing Derek to not stand back and do nothing, pushing Derek to pursue his vision. To find the answer. To figure it out.

and the Chief’s answer was to cut the cord–to paralyze the patient

Derek’s answer was to wait it out, figure it out, make the hard call–that ONLY he could make–and remove the tumor, leaving the patient walking and alive

and Derek knows the Chief can’t afford to lose him. Firing him was an act of chaos–it was pride and retribution. Firing him was cutting the cord and leaving the patient paralyzed. And Derek isn’t accepting it. Derek is going to wait it out–to figure it out. To insist order be brought to the situation

Christina–learned she has things to learn from Hunt and he realizes what she needs–finally.

Kerev I felt so bad for him. And what’s her name from Mercy West–that was nice to see.
