Last night Grey’s Anatomy fans got the episode they had been waiting months for: the musical event episode, “Song Beneath The Song.” The fresh episode, which delivered on the promise to call heavily on the major Tony award-winning talents of Sara Ramirez, brought music, major drama, and a whole lot of peril, particularly to our favorite couple at Seattle Grace. Lesbian doctor duo Callie (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) faced their darkest day yet in the moving episode that brought song and tears to all of the surgeons, and, the return of a familiar face in the O.R.

When last we heard from network television’s arguably most adorable couple – albeit there are not many – Grey’s Anatomy’s lesbian duo Callie and Arizona, they were no more thanks to Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) callously dumping Callie (Sara Ramirez) at the airport prior to zooming around the world to help the ‘tiny humans’ of Malawi.  Fast forward to the beginning of January our time but to the next morning Callie and Arizona time. Following Meredith’s (Ellen Pompeo) earnestly sagacious voiceover intro for the show we cut to Callie opening her door to find Arizona still there from the night before…or so it seems.

Just when you think you've got Grey's Anatomy all figured out, series creator Shonda Rhimes and her amazing writing staff throw you a curve. Case in point: Thursday's story line between primetime's leading lesbian ladies, Dr. Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) and Dr. Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw). Let's just say that our fave scrubs'-sporting lesbian couple said "the L Word."
