Grey’s Anatomy Season 7 Episode 3

Grey’s Anatomy Season 7 Episode 3 "Superfreak " When Derek receives an unexpected and unwelcome visit from his estranged sister, Amelia, issues between the siblings - both past and present - come to the surface; the Chief tries to help Alex when he notices that he's refusing to use the elevators after his near-fatal shooting; and Meredith and Derek continue their efforts to ease Cristina back into surgery after her post-traumatic stress.

About the show:
The title Grey's Anatomy was devised as an amalgam of Henry Gray's medical textbook Gray's Anatomy, and the references to characters Meredith and Lexie Grey. Prior to broadcast, it was announced that the show's title would be changed to Complications, although this ultimately did not happen.

The series focuses on a group of surgical interns, residents, and the various physicians who serve as their mentors in their professional and personal lives. The show's producers used a "color-blind casting" technique, resulting in a racially diverse cast. All roles for Grey's Anatomy are cast without the characters' races being pre-specified, in keeping with creator Shonda Rhimes' vision of diversity. The five characters who are first introduced as interns are Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), George O'Malley (T. R. Knight), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) and Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh). They progress to residency after their first year in the surgical program. They are initially mentored by Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), a general surgeon who becomes the hospital's Chief Resident and later becomes an attending general surgeon. The surgical program is run by Chief of Surgery Richard Webber (James Pickens, Jr.) who has a pre-existing personal relationship with Meredith, having had an affair with her mother when Meredith was a child. In Webber's employ are attending physicians Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) and Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington), who specialize in neurosurgery and cardiothoracic surgery respectively. Derek is introduced as Meredith's love interest, while Preston begins a relationship with Cristina.
