February 12, 2009: Callie Torres offers an unexpected lesson in praying
In case you didn't see the big Grey's Anatomy-Private Practice cross over event, it centered on Addison's brother, Archer, needing surgery to remove a number of worm-filled cysts that were in his brain. In the course of things, she wound up in the chapel but found herself unable to pray because, as a WASP, she only goes to church on Christmas.
Enter Callie Torres, who kneels down and prays out loud as an example to Addison. The content, however, is about the kiss she shared with pediatric surgeon Arizona Robbins, and how she'd like to see where it might lead, except that Arizona's hotness is countered by her perkiness and proclivity for wearing scrubs with butterflies on them. So Callie asks God to help her get over the butterflies (both the ones on the scrubs and the metaphorical ones that have kept Callie celibate since Erica's abrupt departure).
I'm not sure how you balance the example with the content, but I think Aquinas wrote something on prayer and hot lesbians.

Seriously, there are people on this show named Addison, Archer and Arizona? Were all the regular names already taken? I swear, Edward is going to seem quaint by the time Teddy gets to school, given the names I've seen other people give their infants (like Indigo, Jayla and Asher -- ick). Please for the love of the deity of your choice, pick a decent potential name for baby boy Coen. Lucy passes muster for a girl. :)
I give a pass to Archer and Addison, as (a) I often don't understand how rich people name their kids, and (b) their mom is being painted as hell on wheels. Arizona is less understandable, unless it's part of the "name after the location of conception" school popularized by the Beckhams and their ilk.
Where boy names are concerned, I think we're down to Colin and Joseph as names we like. So much for Macron Xerxes or Zach Wamp Coen.
