Raise a glass, friends, because this episode of Grey's Anatomy was a "bottle" episode. Entirely self-contained and Miranda-centric, "(Don't) Fear the Reaper" was everything "Personal Jesus" wanted to be. It is, at its core, a public service announcement for women's health wrapped in the personal crisis of Miranda Bailey. And I am more than fine with it. Yes, the dialogue is still very fact-dense but the tone is much less heavy-handed and, thus, the overall effect works well. Lives will be saved because of this episode and, while that would be enough, a spotlight on Chandra Wilson, with able support from Jason George, Kelly McCreary, and James Pickens Jr., is okay by me.
