When you're a surgical intern fighting for respect, and fighting off the advances of your patients and your boss alike, every day feels like a battle. Welcome to Meredith Grey's life in "Winning a Battle, Losing the War" the episode airing Thursday at 9 p.m.

This tension-filled hour was the third episode from the show's first season, following "A Hard Day's Night" and "The First Cut is the Deepest," which aired last week. Re-live it or watch for the first time as George's manhood is called into question, Alex spars with the female interns, and a friend of Richard fights for his life. As usual, we'll have a full list of quotes and a full recap up shortly thereafter.
