Happy New Year! 2022 is here and so is Seaon 2!  We wanted to do something a little special this round and had a go at recording in the same room - damn we were cute. 

Is your new years resolution to air that dirty laundry and come clean on some secrets? No? 

Well the team at Grey Sloan certainly gave it a go.  This episode is the aftermath of the finale of Season 1. Webber assigns George to be his super secret spy for the day - his eyes and ears - what will he uncover?  Christina finally confides in Mare at Joe's Bar. Joe collapses and they run to his aid - Alex is very upset by the news - Ayla is upset by the flipped shot glasses. Addison is POWERFUL and requests the service of Meredith for the day. Derek's confessions fall on deaf ears.  This is a pivotal episode where Greys Anatomy changes language and introduces "My Person" to zeitgeist and we have never been the same.

Greys Anatomy, Episode 8 of Season 18 is finally here - and our entire cast is in Seattle. This week we discuss all of the ups and downs of the Festive Season and all the excitement and anxiety that comes with it. Megan is struggling to survive Farouk's worsening condition and is elated with the news of a donor heart. Ayla is struggling to come to terms with the repercussions of Teddy, Owen and Hayes adventure to retrieve it. Link is again completely oblivious to not only Joe but Amelia's emotions. The Webber method makes a come back and there is blood, so much blood. There is also tension, sexual tension, deep tensions.... will our Lust for Kaimelia be satisfied? The excitement is making us anxious.

We are back after a 3 week wait with Episode 7 of Season 18! We were sold a fairy tale, but delivered twisted tale. A tale that has us questioning everything we know about the way time works at least! A tale jam packed with lusty looks, crusty wigs and on-call room dalliances. A tale that leaves us wondering why Bailey has only just started to get the respect she deserves, how in the hell do you say “anaphylaxis” and WHO THE HELL IS LOOKING AFTER MEREDITH'S KIDS?! Because Nick certainly doesn’t care.  We missed a lot of the team at Grey Sloan this week and have some interesting theories about where this season is going with only one episode left until the break.

A discussion that sits inside S1E8, about the history of abortions in American television . We also discuss our own personal pro-choice views and opinions.

We are not ashamed of these opinions and fully believe that Abortion is not a dirty word. We do understand though, that this can be something that people find uncomfortable to discuss.  At Scalpels and Tequila we hope that more light can be shed, on not only this issue, but all issues in relation to women's autonomy over their own bodies.

We are living in a Fairy Tale. But not all of them have happy endings.  Derek  is in  the running for worst housemate.  Cricket can't remember the missing cupcake ingredient - Ayla is sure she is wrong.  Alex is showing his softer side with the strength of a loin advocating for his patient.  Burke is struggling with the unknown - and frankly having a sook about it.  Christina gets very personal with a patient is is forced to learn empathy.  Meredith finds out that love is apparently something she has to "earn".  Who lives happily ever after?

TRIGGER WARNING: In this episode we discuss abortion. For the sake of our listeners we a have removed this chat and put it in a second part. If you would like to hear our opinions on the matter please give it a lesson. If the topic is to difficult for you to hear about that's ok to.  Difficult family dynamics and religion are also discussed.

The Holidays are upon us and the team at Grey Sloan all celebrate in different ways.
Meredith does a lot of solo acting with her phone and speaking of Zola - ya girl is WOKE. Webber and Levi are acting like excited interns at the prospect of carving into some trauma. We are traumatized along side Nico by what Levi’s mum bring to the table. Someone should get Amelia a sex toy for Christmas.
Some heated debates about pie, food storage, family fun nights and ALTERNATIVE ENDINGS are coming your way this Tof/urkey Day!

This episode does contain some  discussion about Domestic Abuse , Body Dysmorphia and difficult parental relationships. Please listen at your own discretion. 

Season 1 Episode 7 of Greys Anatomy is aptly titled The Self-Destruct Button as we explore all the ways multiple characters are making their lives harder by engaging in some pretty self-destructive behaviours. 

Izzie is cantankerous and covered in chocolate. Bailey in true Wicked Witch fashion has many hoops, slime and obstacles for Meredith. Christina is "sick" - does she have the brain to figure it out?
Does Alex have a heart and has George found some courage?  Find out this week on The Scalpel of Oz!
Also cake, there's cake.

Season 18 is baaaack and not with the BANG we had hoped but with a frazzled fizzled mess. We have some BIG feelings about this episode. Incuding confusion and frustration.
We discuss the absense of Maggie and the absense consideration in Ben and Baileys relationship. Why is Nick wearing a flanno? How the Overstuffing of an episode relates to the overtsuffing of a taco. Do the Station 19 viewers feel cheated the way we do?  PTSD , Owens mental health and those Isiah Washington tweets.

Proscrastination is a matter of life or death this episode.  Izzy makes us so proud this week as she really smashes it , figureatively and literally ( RIP Alex's pager). Alex charms a patient with a huge tumor, Meredith really needs to speak with HR about the way she is treated by both Derek and Bailey, as she tries to help the daughter of a patient with Parkinsons. 
Miranda Bailey is the OG queen of setting boundaries for her mental health. 
Christina and Bourke are not on the same page with their relationship.
Did we mention how great Izzy is this episode>
