Season 3 / Episode 1: - Time Has Come Today

Dr. Meredith Grey: I don't know what to say to you.
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: When Dylan died, when the bomb went off, did you feel, like...
Dr. Meredith Grey: What?
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: Like you were moving in slow motion?
Dr. Meredith Grey: He was there and then he wasn't. Like I blinked and he was gone.
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: I feel like I'm moving in slow motion. Like I'm moving in slow motion and everything around me is moving so fast and I just wanna go back to when things were normal. When I wasn't "Poor Izzie" laying on the bathroom floor in her prom dress with her- her dead fiance. But I am. So I can't. And I'm- I'm just stuck. And there is all this pressure cause everyone is hovering around me waiting for me to do something. Or say something, or flip out, or yell and cry some more and I'm happy to play my part. I'm happy to say the lines and do whatever it is that I'm supposed to be doing if it will make everyone feel more comfortable. But I don't- I don't know how to do this. I don't know how to be this person. I don't- I don't know who this person is.
Dr. Meredith Grey: Izzie...
Dr. Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens: How did this happen? How did we end up here? Why am I alone? Where's Denny?
Dr. Meredith Grey: You're not alone Izz.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: When Addison is talking to Richard about how to determine the real mother she said they could do a blood typing, that because the baby is 'double O' that if the girl is A or B she can't be the mother. This is untrue. The only way that it is not possible for her to be the mother is if she has AB blood type, as A blood can be comprised of AA or AO, same with B. If the A type blood is AO, then the mother could give that O gene to her baby.

TRIVIA

Every episode of the show is named after a famous song. "Time Has Come Today" is a song by The Chambers Brothers.
On September 21st, 2006, CTV, the Canadian network that airs Grey's Anatomy, accidentally broadcast the wrong episode - instead of airing the season premiere, they broadcast the second episode of the new season instead. The mistake made national news in Canada and generated some angry fan backlash, but was rectified a week later when the correct episodes were aired.
