“Song Beneath the Song” is one of those episodes that divides viewers. My impression was that if you were a fan of Grey’s Anatomy at the time, this episode flat-lined and was something to try to forget. In my classes, though, I love bringing it up because it is an episode trying to do a lot of things. Perhaps not successfully I might put “Song Beneath the Song” in the realm of Cop Rock - where the musical exists alongside another genre of storytelling. We’ve got a surgery and a song in counterpoint, not as one big happy number.
