Quotes

Dr. Derek Shepherd: So what are the risks of repositioning the baby?
Dr. Meredith Grey: Not the minor risks, the big, ugly, scary risks because I'm a lightning rod for those.
Dr. Connie Ryan: It's not an option.
Dr. Meredith Grey: Why not?

Best season finale EVER!

I've watched the entire series, from the beginning, a few times. I've been watching the reruns on Lifetime for the past few months.

This, THIS was by far the best episode EVER. And clearly the best season finale. This one had everyone involved in a cliff-hanger:

Jasckson & April Alex & Jo Bailey & herself Webber & life Hunt & Yang Derrick & Meredith

It was truly an awesome episode. Best cliff-hanger I've ever seen, and by far the most entertaining.

I had forgotten how much I had agonized over this, waiting for the new season. This is, in my opinion, the best episode of the entire series.

A complete adrenaline rush, constant edge of your seat viewing.

Anyone who has not watched the series should really give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Luckily Lifetime TV has been playing syndicated episodes. Watch, you will fall in love.
