Thank you!!!
I truly felt for Meredith last nite. She hasn't really had much time to grieve for her own mother, then she begins bonding with Susan. Susan ends up in SGH with the hiccups, which leads to whatever condition that caused her demise. She feels bad about that, losing the only true 'mom' type she has ever had. So here comes the most worthless character on this show, Thatcher. First slapping her last week, and then coming there and blaming her for Susan's death. I realize he is grieving too, but he obviously NEVER cared about Meredith. He laid all the blame on Ellis all these years, when the reality is HE just didn't give a crap. I was watching the whole thing play out and so hoping Richard or even Christina would smack him. But NO!
And to top it all off, there's Derek. One minute he is soo concerned for her, and two weeks later, he is contemplating whether or not being Chief is more important than her. He tells her as much, and she backs away. Typical reaction. Now he is feeling bad because she isn't letting him in with all the goings on with Thatcher. So he meets this woman at a bar. She actually reminded me more of his own sister. But I think the woman is none other than Meredith's other half sister who is in med school. She stated she had a 'rough' day too. With her mother dying, she would be in town. We have never seen this sister yet. What better plot twist than to have Derek become involved with someone connected with Thatcher, whom Meredith has such a dark and twisty past with?
I wonder too who will pass and who will fail that test. My guess: Christina. If she didn't pass, why would she have such cold feet over marrying Burke next week. She has gone along with it all this time, even though she didn't want a big wedding. Not passing would devastate her perfectionist attitude, and make great tv. She is expecting to pass, and be on the top of the list of interns, not the bottom. And to marry someone like Burke when she has failed in such a big way would make her feel inadequate enough to call it all off.
I think Adele will die next week, and Richard will continue on as Chief.
I think George and Izzie will get caught by Callie next week too. Those extra rooms at the hospital get used more for sex than what they are actually there for. Callie will walk in on them, and knowing Callie, she will punch out George, not Izzie.
