This week's episode of Grey's Anatomy was all about decisions. Let's start with Karev's decision to spill the beans about Meredith tampering with the trial. As soon as the Chief discovered she did it for Adele, I knew everything would be ok. I feel badly for Derek. His wife, who he loves most in the world, betrayed him in their professional life. How do you reconcile that?
I loved the scenes at the end of the episode with Meredith and baby Zola. Especially the scene where she is walking around the big empty house talking to the baby. Have you ever babysat a small child for an entire day? You absolutely do start talking to them like that just because you crave the human interaction.
Do you think Derek will come back to Meredith and the baby?
Speaking of children, how moving was it when all the parents of the plane crash victims decided to stay and pray for the one remaining survivor? When the girl's mother finally arrived, her exchange with the mother who decided to stay was incredibly heart breaking.
Speaking of broken hearts, I am sad for Cristina and Owen! I must admit, knowing Cristina, I was surprised she didn't ask Lucy to terminate the pregnancy right when she found out about it. That just seems so Cristina. I was surprised she told Owen. I wasn't expecting Owen to kick her out! Yowza.
Last week I predicted that Scott Foley's character Henry would make one, final, grand gesture to try and get Teddy to stay and in the end, it was her! I am so happy! The friend I watch with every week said from the couch, "Oh, great. Now he is just going to die, just like Denny. Here we go again." She is probably right. We know how you roll, Shonda.
I found the whole Mark giving his blessing to Dr. Avery thing very odd. Clearly he still loves Lexi and clearly she still loves him. Dr. Avery just keeps committing himself to Lexi more and more, meanwhile I don't think she is invested in him.
How can we discuss this week's episode without talking about Dr. Kepner? I was not surprised she got chief resident, but it is weird to think about her starting point - first she caused a patient death, then she got Derek shot, and now, the new chief resident. Movin' on up! Did you also notice her rocking the Lauren Conrad hair style?
Now onto Karev, who could have been Chief. First, I was happy everyone gave him a hard time about ratting out Meredith. He deserved it. I also can't believe he turned Lucy down when she said, "Tell me not to go to Africa." I think Karev is just too wounded from all the crazy women in his life.
Lastly, I loved the scene with Dr. Bailey and Eli. I love that he pushes her and forces her to let him into her life. I would love to see a Dr. Bailey wedding!
I can't believe that was the season finale. Now we have to wait until September for more Seattle Grace drama! There is so much potential for fantastic story lines based on how things ended tonight. Can you believe we'll be heading into season eight?
