OMG!
What a shocker! I love how Grey's Anatomy has been able to retain that element of surprise. Some other shows have lost it... but with the two-parter episode after the SuperBowl and now with the finale, Grey's Anatomy never fails to shock the hell out of you with their cliffhangers. I love the writers of this show with a passion.
I know Izzie really cares about and loves Denny, but seriously, what was she thinking? I won't be surprised if she loses her job over this. She knew that Burke was on his way she was stopping Denny's heart in order to make him a hopeless case... I get that... but it's just so flipping risky! It wasn't worth it! He could've gotten the next heart. Damn, Izzie. Now Denny will probably die because of this. The only possible twist I can see to where Denny would live would be if he got Burke's heart. I really don't want that to happen because I want the miracle-working doctors of Seattle Grace to save Burke.
Ugh... I can't believe that Burke got shot. As much as I was miffed at him for picking Karev over Cristina to take with him at the beginning (because of his stupid little ego bruise over the whole sex thing), I still like him and always have. I don't want to see him die. I want him to be all right in the end and for him to make up with Cristina and everything to be all right. Damn... this sucks so much! I can't believe how terrible this is. I'm still in shock.
For the less dramatic stuff... the Meredith/Addison/Derek triangle... I feel terrible for Addison. I love her, even though she cheated on her husband. I think we really got some more insight into all of that tonight... she was trying to get Derek to care. It's like he was just floating along and he didn't care about his wife. I don't know how that's going to turn out. But seriously... I mean, what a revelation for Addison when she realized that Meredith was dating Finn... that's why Derek was so upset. It dawned on Addison once and for all that Derek wasn't officially over Meredith and that their marriage is basically a sham. I feel so bad for her.
Let me also say that tonight really reaffirmed my love for Dr. Bailey. I loved it when she told off that rude manager guy! I think it's sad that he got shot in the end, but he was extremely annoying when he was in hospital. I loved how that one busboy was all frightened to tell him off, but Dr. Bailey said, "He can't fire me!" and rushed over to give him what for. She's absolutely hysterical.
To put it simply, I cannot wait for tomorrow night. Two whole hours of Grey's Anatomy! The season finale! My heart's still going from tonight's episode. I hope they don't end the season with a cliffhanger, though, because I don't know how I'd stand it!
