Spoiler alert: If you haven’t watched this week’s Grey’s Anatomy, you might not want to read this post. If you have watched…well, its up to you. You might still not want to read this post.
Yeah, I know I don’t usually post on the weekends and yeah, I know that my posts are more “serious” but one storyline in my guilty pleasure Grey’s rubbed me the wrong way (unlike McSteamy who can rub me the right way anytime he wished).
That was when Denny’s Dad confronts Izzie about her marital motives.
Lets look at this scenario:
The Dad has a check for over eight million, yep, eight big, big, big, huge ones. Quite a chunk of change (think of the shoes that could buy). He is supposed to hand it over to the new, sight unseen wife whom he suspects (as anyone would) is a gold digger.
Does he do any research on the woman? Does he run a simple credit check? Does he even Google her name (which would likely give him all the info he needed)? Does he interview the witnesses to the wedding (would be on the marriage certificate)?
Nope, the man does nothing of the sort.
He simply confronts the blonde.
All she has to do is tell him her debts are paid off (truth? Who knows) and that she didn’t need Denny’s money (outright lie…who wouldn’t take eight million plus if it was there to be snatched up?). Oh, and cry, that always does the trick.
And poof, all his misgivings evaporate.
Now, you and I live in the real world (i.e. we don’t have two gorgeous medical professionals pledging their undying devotion). Whenever we part with a significant piece of our wealth (significant being relative…for me, it’s over $100), we do our research. We find out as much info as we can about what we’re getting into.
And the crying bit? Don’t even try it!
