I called it! I called it! Read my prediction here. And, guess what? It came true. I knew it! OK, enough gloating.
Last night's Grey's Anatomy episode made me cry (read: streaming tears) three times and I choked up at least one other time. Maybe it was because I recently graduated and as the college students kept dying, I kept choking up, and by the time Alex said his vows, I was nearly hysterical, but all I know for sure is that I couldn't help it or stop. The episode takes place on the day of Meredith and Derek's wedding day. Everyone is at work that day and the ceremony is planned for that night. Throughout the day a lot happens, so here is a rundown.
- Cali is working an extra shift in the ER. While at the desk she says it is slow, which obviously jinxes the day. Then a trauma is called in. A group of soon-to-be college graduates were in an SUV on their way to their graduation when they got into a horrible car crash. They are all in really bad shape. Those in the car are among some of the best of the class - the valedictorian, a student who was the first in his family to go to college, etc. While in the hospital, they all impart knowledge on the doctors. One says to Alex, "I was doing school and then I was going to do life." Another says to Cristina, "Love is love. It doesn't matter that you're not supposed to be together." Both of these words of wisdom can be expanded and pertain to the lives of the person they were saying them to. Throughout this all, six of the students die; Many at the hands of George who at one point goes to Hunt and tells him he is in over his head. But Hunt has faith in George and at the end of the day congratulates him on a job well done regardless of how many deaths he feels responsible for.
- Owen and Cristina's relationship is still rocky. He does acknowledge that it was her ceiling fan that triggered his attack. It is clear they still care for one another and throughout the episode Owen tries to reach for Cristina's hand to hold it. At the end of the episode, Cristina uses a hammer and bangs at the fan.
- As Derek's "wedding present" to Meredith he provides Meredith with her first solo surgery. To oversee the surgery, the chief scrubs in. But instead of supervising, he participates and passes judgment, something Meredith does not let go unnoticed. In the end the chief tells Meredith her mother would have been proud of the surgery and Meredith says this was the best wedding present ever.
- Something is visibly wrong in the relationship between Arizona and Cali and Arizona questions what happened. Sloan makes reference to Cali's need to talk about the real problem, but Cali won't admit this real problem to Arizona. This leads to Cali pushing Arizona away. Cali, at one point, even says that maybe they should end their relationship. Finally, Cali breaks down and tells Arizona the problem: Cali has no money and does not feel like she can afford to date. Arizona is very understanding and agrees to only set up low key dates from now on.
- Izzie starts seeing Denny again. She is convinced that this means she has another tumor. Izzie has Derek and Bailey run some tests, but everything comes back clear. Izzie is not as sure; She knows that if she is seeing Denny, then something is wrong. Derek then tries something never done before. He asks Izzie to make an hallucination happen so that he can see in what part of the brain it is originating. She struggles to make Denny appear, but in the end succeeds and Derek does find a very small tumor. The tumor is so small and so tucked away that he cannot do anything to remove it. Derek says to Bailey that there is nothing else he can do for her and Bailey hints that there is something he could do. Instead of Meredith and Derek getting married, Alex and Izzie do. And Alex's vows, a speech that is similar to the speech the college valedictorian practiced on him earlier in the episode, were so heartfelt and perfect. Once back in the hospital, Izzie shaves her head after realizing throughout the day that she was losing her hair. She is embarrassed by her bald head but Alex keeps reminding her she is beautiful: "My wife is hot," he says to her. At the end of the episode Izzie talks about how she didn't even know the biggest day of her life was happening until it happened.
Next week is the two hour season finale. It looks promising. I bet a lot happens. The one question I want answered, do you guys still think Izzie is being killed off? And do you think she will die during the finale? How do you see this season ending and which loose ends do you want to see tied? Leave me your thoughts.
