Quotes

Denny Duquette: Heaven, Hell, Limbo No-one really knows where we're going or what's waiting for us when we get there, but the one thing we can say for sure with absolute certainty is there are moments that take us to another place, moments of Heaven on earth, and maybe for now, thats all we need to know.

One of the best episodes of Grey's Anatomy!!
28 January 2009 | by (Portugal) – See all my reviews

One of the best episodes ever! It was so touching. I cried just like I did when Denny died. I just couldn't avoid it. You see Dr. Bailey and Meredith crossing all the possible lines to do what they think it is the right and I really felt sorry and compassion for William. Can't wait to see what's going to happen. Season five is getting better! It reminds me of season 1 and 2! I am sure you will like it as much as I did. My friends cried too and we are always talking about it. Just enjoy and let be taken to the magic of Grey's Anatomy. It will not disappoint you!Grey's Anatomy is the best TV series that is being aired nowadays.
