Bailey too, as if he gave up his maiden name for Miranda when they got married.) Callie and Arizona make up! Jo's horrible reason for remaining a spinster is revealed! Jackson and April's baby is born! Owen and Amelia get married! Ben redeems himself! (It's a testament to Bailey's place on the show and in my heart that I always want to call Ben Dr. Just because nothing horrible happened doesn't mean the episode wasn't jam-packed. (The absence of major catastrophe did not stop me from crying six separate times.) Though with three of them getting shot, we were wondering if one might not make it, which added to the suspense.Is it just me, or was that the least traumatic finale in Grey's Anatomy history? I'm not necessarily complaining - it is, objectively speaking, nice when none of your favorite television characters die - but it's hard to get a proper sense of closure on a season of Grey's without a major catastrophe going down. We say this because they all predictably survived, of course. Grey's Anatomy really pushed the envelope with this, and it really worked. Then Derek took a bullet right in front of Meredith and it was like we were kicked in the stomach -and sick to it at the same time.īy the time Owen took a bullet too, we were stunned and didn't know how much more we could take. When Alex was shot, with cold nonchalance, we figured that would be it for the core characters. Usually so calm and professional, this was a great scene for the character.Īlso great? She and Callie agreed to get back together and want kids - a lot of kids! In an episode filled with tragedy, it was nice to end the season on at least one high point.Īlex.
Arizona's "there are only children here" mantra was the classic Grey's repeated line of the evening, used as though it were a spell to protect her from a perilous fate that awaited her. do you think she meant that declaration of love, or was it heat of the moment?Ĭalzona. Then in a delusional exchange, he thought she was Izzie, who "came back for me." Lexie's response? "I came back." Such raw emotion. It made all the rest of what was a stellar episode for Chandra Wilson seem tame by comparison! Watching Chandra Wilson cower in abject terror and claim to be a nurse was one of the most incredible scenes in the show's history. When she told the story that saved her life, our fists were clenched in fear.ĭr. When she was in shock over Reed, we felt in shock over Reed. She was not the shooter, despite one of our writers' ongoing theories, but April sure had some memorable scenes last night.
Oddly enough, we've often discussed how the Grey's Anatomy cast is so big - to its detriment.īut because it is, dispatching two characters we actually got to know a bit really resonated.Īpril. We knew Season 7 would be without Reed and Charles, so at least they got a dramatic sendoff, rather than being written off in some ridiculous fashion. Also incredible? Meredith literally choosing to "go through" Cristina to get to Derek. Not this.Īmazingly - and this manifested itself several times with the surgeons last night - there was so much going on, Mer wasn't even allowed to be sad. We knew there would be shooter on the loose. It may have been the saddest, most surprising part of the night. The exchange with Owen in which she said she miscarried definitely did. The exchange with Cristina almost made our house dusty. non Season 1-4 Meredith about the whole thing! We were so thrilled to learn that Meredith was pregnant, it made it all the more heartbreaking that she lost the baby.
We begin after the jump, in case any of you haven't seen it yet. We could spend the entire day talking about all the events that transpired, but we tried to narrow it down to a dozen things that really struck us about the thrilling episode. Seriously, the Season 6 finale left us laying awake afterward thinking about everything, a feeling we haven't had from Grey's in years and rarely achieved by any program. Some of the back-and-forths between the characters were truly memorable, and some of the developments so heartbreaking that we don't even know where to begin now. The writing and acting were absolutely stellar, and may lead to many Emmy nominations, but even more impressively, despite a killing spree, it remained distinctly Grey's. Despite being a bit too violent, and yes, a bit forced for our taste, in many ways " Sanctuary" and " Death and All His Friends" may have been the best Grey's Anatomy ever.
