BRING THE PAIN
Airdate: October 23, 2005
Recap of Events:
Meredith and Dr. Shepherd have to use more than medicine when a young Hmong woman’s traditionalist, religious father forbids her to have a life-saving operation unless a shaman is called upon to "retrieve her souls".
Meanwhile, George and Alex are forced to perform surgery in a trapped elevator in an attempt to save a patient’s life which George shows his potential while Alex shuns the challenge, and it is decision time for Derek and the two women in his life.
In the official writer's blog for the show, Shonda Rhimes noted the following about this episode:"Bring the Pain" was originally conceived, written and shot to be the finale of Grey's Anatomy's first season. But then we aired after Desperate Housewives and, well…everything changed. Ratings, time slots, a really great audience following…it was mind blowing and humbling for all of us. The network made a decision — our first season needed to end in conjunction with D H's season.
And so suddenly, the arrival of Derek's wife became our perfect season-ending cliffhanger. And this episode became one of a series of big episodes to launch our second season. But if you watch it with that in mind — the fact that this was the final episode — you can see me trying to bring the characters full circle from the pilot.
