So now, after reading that awesome new story by citron_presse, Warm In Your Dream, I've recovered the ability of speech. Just some more thoughts on torture here.

I knew that LR was set to return for a while, but I somehow didn't want to believe that she would HAVE the baby at SGH. (I wonder why ;)
The whole situation primarily struck me as a moment of extreme torture for Mark - imagine
having that newborn in your arms, the one you would have done anything for, only to lose him
to adoption. Oh, seriously heartbreaking. I feel your pain, Mark Sloan. But luckily citron_presse put things in perspective, and I feel much better about this now. There's definitely an aspect of hope and growth in dealing with this newborn, for Mark. He probably needs this pain to grow with respect to parenting.

But my first thought was, it will be torture for Lexie, too. Strange, isn't it, coming from me? I still think that Lexie may react positively to the baby, if it is offered to her without pressure (as much as she would probably want, and fail, to dissociate herself from that baby on a conscious level). There's nothing like a newborn to bring out the best in people. But the pictures somehow reminded me of the story by foibles_fables, Alone Doesn't Feel So cold, where Lexie spies on the baby in the maternity ward (in Mark's arms) and the nursery. And it hurts so freaking much.

And you're very right, it's also torture for us who have to wait (have I mentioned that a 3-week-break SUCKS?). I agree, the episode description sounds very bad. And they even intensified the torture by setting Mark and Lexie up to be on speaking terms again in 6x19, and did you see THE LOOKS in that scene? Anything could happen.

And I will stop now, before I start another rant on how this may or may not be the pivotal
episode to the greatest question of all, will Mark and Lexie finally get a grip and admit
how much they love each other already? ;)

The looks was pure love! The look he gave her, and his voice it cracked in pain. I loved the way she still asked his advice. I trully believe that if they were done why keep giving us these hopeful scenes.

I think that this next episode will either be hopeful again or soul destroying. Is that over dramatic, just a bit lol. But I love them and need a reunion now! Wouldn't it be great if the birth of his grandson finally makes him see that he needs Lexie now.

My biggest fear is that Lexie doesn't even get told about the baby on screen. I think if that happens that is pretty much them closing the book. But I hope that we get Lexie interacting with the baby and sloan and hopefully Mark too.

Rant over.

And the sweet torture continues!

I hope so much that it won't be in 6x20, on top of all the baby angst.

What does "thisclose" mean, anyway?

I'm so scared that it will be Callie. What are the writers doing? I Really don't know how much longer I can keep watching this train wreck. But bit about old ways maybe it's just him having a random on call room hook up?

On the plus side he never cheated on lex, why can't he just cheat with lex at this point I will take anything verging on desperate now. They clearly aren't done if the are having scenes like last week. I just want to know if they are never going to get back together. This season finale I'd going to be tough to watch

My bets are on Reed, random enough.

It will be so sad if he does it in order to not-deal with his daughter-and-grandson-mess-up. Maybe I could even understand that though.

But I will probably cry when he does it as a reaction to stumbling in on Alex and Lexie AGAIN.
(Or is this old news?: http://www.tvguidemagazine.com/kecks-exclusives/demi-lovato-psyches-out-greys-4663.html)

Why, oh why would she do that? Was she even THERE in that little bathroom scene when somebody realized that the same person really didn't want Mark to move on AT ALL?

Torture. But I kinda love how they take it to more absurd levels from week to week. :D
