Grey’s Anatomy – Who rides the big elevator to the sky?
Last year’s season finale was … you could say intense. Izzie’s season long battle with cancer looked to be coming to an end, as she was flatlining after surgery, the Chief and Bailey fighting to save her, despite the DNR she’d signed (if I continue to do Grey’s posts here at CliqueClack, I’ll have to call Webber by his name … In my television watching world, there is only one “The Chief”). Her best friend George was also in peril, as most of the rest of the staff was working on him moments after discovering that the heroic John Doe they’d been working on was their friend.
I’ve seen the first episode of the season, and I lived to tell about it (and tell you who else may, or may not have, lived). Let me lead with a warning, because BIG HONKING SPOILERS AHEAD! I’m going to tell everything … up to and including how the world ends, so if you don’t want to know, turn back now.
I’m serious. Stop reading now.
Who dies on the Grey’s Anatomy finale?
Holy cow, lots happened on the Grey’s Anatomy finale last night, including a few shockers. Let’s take stock and see who lost their memory, who kissed and made up, and who died … or not. READ NO FURTHER IF YOU DON’T WANT TO READ SPOILERS!
Did the right couple get married on Grey’s Anatomy?
This week’s Grey’s Anatomy went down pretty much as I expected it would. It just seemed so sweet and fitting that Izzie and Alex would get married rather than Derek and Meredith. And so bittersweet, considering that Izzie likely would have married Denny had he not died before they had the chance. Now she’s in that same situation, only she’s the one in the hospital bed.
But are you sad that Derek and Meredith didn’t get married? I can’t say that I am. This big affair really wasn’t their kind of wedding. I picture them getting married in an operating room or something.
Grey’s Anatomy – Meredith cries on the Chief’s shoulder (best scene this season?)
Just when I think Grey’s Anatomy is sinking into a big sap-hole, it does something that makes me really appreciate the writing. Such was the case with Meredith’s storyline in this week’s episode.
It was an interesting premise: Abusive guy gets shot by young daughter. I guess it’s to parallel Meredith’s childhood (was her dad abusive? I knew he was an alcoholic, but guess I never really got that he was abusive).
Anyway, so while all this is going down, Meredith and Lexie’s dad shows up at the hospital to complete the ninth step of recovery and apologize to his daughters for his past mistakes.
Do you just want Izzie Stevens to die already?
This week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy was a real downer. From Izzie dying to Bailey cradling a dying kid to the guy leaping through a hospital window and crashing onto a car below … good f-ing grief!
OK, focus, Jane. Let’s talk about the Izzie-dying story. It was just weird. I sort of just want her to die already. She spent the first part of the episode pretending like she could just be the same person as she was pre-cancer. She was pulling these practical jokes where she’d seize up and have Cristina calling for a crash cart. That just seems weird and cruel. And then what if you really ARE crashing, and people just look at you like, oh, she’s just fooling around. Forget about it.
Will Derek and Meredith get their McHappy ending?
Just when I was thinking Derek and Meredith would get their happy ending, Addison calls and messes things up! Yeah, I know she had a good reason, but Derek had the flowers and candles and everything all set (thanks to Sloan, which was funny in itself)!
But I believe Shonda Rhimes will hold true to her statement about giving Derek and Meredith a happy ending. OK, I’m sure it won’t be all happy, but hopefully, they’ll make it work one way or another.
Should Grey’s Anatomy’s Dr. Dixon be a doctor?
Well, I always knew there was such a thing as hug therapy. Now, according to this week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy, I know it’s also a medical treatment. Or at least, that’s what Dr. Dixon says, and I believe it.
Somehow, the sight of Bailey and Cristina hugging it out with Dr. Dixon to bring her vitals back to normal was both funny and sort of heartbreaking. I can definitely appreciate the hugging; need some of it myself every day.
But I’m still perplexed that Dr. Dixon has achieved her current rank and status. I’ve dealt with doctors like her — with zero bedside manner — and they’re awful! I think tonight’s episode hit a little close to home because a doctor much like Dixon once told my husband he wouldn’t last six months. That was five years ago, and he’s now healthier than most of the human population.
