Giving the kid the liver is still not right. He's probably going to be in prison for murder.

Not that I'm complaining, but why Calzona is trending right now?

TV Line:

"♦ My gut is telling me Shonda Rhimes is taking a “go big or go home” approach to this year’s Grey’s Anatomy finale, which will air in two parts and feature at least three, new, potentially recurring characters."

recap (11.18): #Blessed

A cop, who actually carried one of his fallen officers in the building, stands around worried about his friends. It’s Kevin Alejandro, that guy who plays a lot of cops (and gay Jesus on True Blood) and he’s bleeding all over the floor, which Callie notices. She takes him aside to examine him and he’s been shot in the leg. There’s a big chunk of muscle missing, and frankly Callie is impressed by his heroic actions on such an injury. His name is Dan Pruitt, and I get the feeling we’ll be seeing more of him in future episodes. The mother of two of the injured cops arrives at the same time as one of the suspects who has been shot multiple times.

The field trip class is busy staring at babies, while Arizona tries to adorably humble brag about how she operated one of them in utero. The kids are booooored. Come back to them when you get a YouTube channel or something, Arizona. Alex takes a little delight in how hard Arizona is bombing with them. Babies are not exciting and what the kids want to know about are the cops who were just brought in.

Callie is still working with Dan, and luckily he doesn’t need surgery, but he will have to stay off his feet for a while. He says that won’t be a problem because he’s probably going to be on desk duty for a while since this was the first time he’d ever fired his weapon in the line of duty. He asks her about the young suspect, because he really needs something good to come out of all of this. Callie assumes that he means that he hopes the kid will die.

Meredith is not feeling quite so blessed anymore, and Callie overhears that both brothers are dead. She heads off to tell Dan the bad news.

Meredith talks to Dan about the fallen cops, as Callie checks on his wound. He again asks about the suspect, but not because he hopes he will die. He knew the kid, and he and his fellow cops tried to steer him in the right direction. He was a good kid that fell in with the wrong people. He feels guilty that they weren’t able to save him, and that his life got so turned around.

Callie wheels Dan out into the parking lot and gives him the doctory spiel. He tells her that if that day wasn’t so awful, that he’d ask her out for dinner. She tells him to come back for a check up in 10 days, and he can ask her out then.

So, let’s talk about this. I know that many Calzona fans are not happy about this. But here’s the deal. Callie is dating. She’s dating people that she is attracted to and interested in. Women and men. This isn’t some grand scheme on the part of the Shonda crew to ruin our shipping lives. Callie is a bisexual woman and she deserves to live her life authentically, and bisexual viewers deserve to have their stories told too. This isn’t out of left field, and it’s been months and many episodes since Callie and Arizona broke up. While I personally feel that the couple will find a way back to each other, this is what is happening now. Arizona, who for the most part, had very little storyline outside of her relationship with Callie, has had a rich and compelling one this season. She, too, will get a new love interest at some point. And you know what? We might really like her. We might even love her.

I have heard that fans feel that Calzona has been shortchanged, has had lesser storylines and whatnot. With a cast the size of Grey’s, it’s tough for everyone to get what feels like a fair share. I don’t feel that there was a conscious effort to do that with Callie and Arizona. There is not a grand conspiracy at play. Remember when Meredith talked about thinking zebras instead of horses? Well, I think fans are so used to expecting zebras to come trampling by, that they don’t recognize a plain old horse when they see one. We have many allies, writing stories and creating characters we love. Sometimes they don’t chose the path we want them to, but that doesn’t mean that they are trying to hurt us. I always encourage people to express themselves to writers and showrunners. Sometimes it makes a real, significant difference. But when we start simply demanding things, or berating them for not giving us what we want, all the time, what makes us think that people will want to go to bat for us? I know you will have much to say in the comments about this, and I truly do want to know your thoughts on this.
