I Will Survive - Greys Anatomy Series 7 Episode 21
May 13 2011, 9:31 AM EDT
I am about to sit down and watch it, as usual I cannot wait to see the latest Grey's instalment. From the previews I have read it sounds like a good one. One more to go after this. I am not expecting anything a dramatic as last season's double episode drama, which is how it was shown here in OZ. However there has been a lot of talk about certain events affecting a few of our favourite characters. I have to say, I really hope that Alex shuts up and keeps Merediths secret regarding the clinical trial. I think it is up to Meredith to admit the truth to her husband so that they can both deal with the fall out. Anyway I'll be back later after I have watch the latest episode.Janelle, Canberra, Australia Do you find this valuable?

Might as well take advantage of this thread being here already to make it the "official" one about this episode, so comment away, people!I would really hope there would be more of you around here! Summary: Personal and work pressures are adding up and have Meredith visibly on edge, Owen conducts formal interviews for the Chief Resident position, Cristina grows increasingly defiant, Alex and Lucy's undefined relationship gets tested, and Jackson suddenly backs out of the Webber's diabetes trial.

"Might as well take advantage of this thread being here already to make it the "official" one about this episode"Yep good idea. So, as usual, my impressions during watching the ep: Christina: "Owen, this hurts me more than it hurts you." Owen: "No, it doesn't." Christina: "I know." ^ Haha. I'm glad she acknowledged it. :) Wow, Derek with Zola continues to be the cutest thing evaa. Meredith though... is not at all comfortable with her. No mother instinct yet. Unlike Arizona, who is totally a mother now. Jeez, Teddy, can't you see that you're torturing Henry? Yuck!! Baby between the intestines. Yuck!! Callie: "Every time I hear a baby cry, it makes me think of Sophia... They all sound like her. Wait that really sounds like her." <-- Now this one really made me LOL. Hard. God, I love Callie. And her enthusiasm for breaking bones :)) Christina: "If you do this for me, I will put in a good word for you with Owen." April: "Why would you do that?" Christina: "Becasue it's a tree in a man's lung." ^^ Holy eff. Looks like one of those eps with an extra dose of humor. Aah, Lexie... you don't want to be with Mark, no siree. Jeez... "Virgin superpowers" <- LOOOL Mark: "I have everything I always wanted. Almost." <- Think Lexie got the message? I hope she did. Do you find this valuable? |

Hmm, and now I'm thinking April would actually make a good chief resident. She's down with the organizational stuff, and she wouldn't mind more paperwork than surgeries (as seen last season when she was "chaperone to chief Shepherd" :) )Ooh, Christina and Owen fight. But I must say, I'm on his side. Christina is a great surgeon. But there's a risk her ego will grow too big. So while I still think Teddy is being an ass, I understand where she's coming from - she wants to make sure Christina stays grounded. Oh wow, poor Alex. Way to get stabbed in the back. Stupid Charlie's Angels. It'll flop anyway, all it did is take Lucy away from us. Whoa, I was wondering why Jackson left the diabetes trial. And I must say, he deserves respect for that. It also makes sense now, because you can see what triggered it - Lexie talking how the trial will win all sorts of awards. Aaaaaaaaand there goes Teddy. Did I call it weeks ago, or what? :) If I were Teddy though, I'd pick Henry over Andrew. And to top it off, Alex taddles on Meredith (sorry JanelleCoulton, you hope is dashed)... So let the drama begin... Do you find this valuable? |

And indeed Karev just had to spill... There the guy goes again with his ups and downs all the time. He was drunk and in the dump, but still... I guess it fits, given that Derek and the chief would have had to find out anyways...I didn't get to warm up to Lucy all that much, so I don't really care much that she leaves. I think they're doing a good job at keeping the mystery of who is going to be chief resident, as they are showing everybody's weaknesses and strong points. Even April and Avery have their pros. Owen really has a tough decision to make, even though I always thought he wasn't a good choice to be the one who decides because he is married to Christina... About Meredith, I no longer think it's Pompeo acting badly all that much (not that she's too good, mind you). She indeed wasn't in the right mother spirit yet by the beginning of this episode, but she improved by the end. We shall see what happens with her and Derek in the finale next week. Judging by the promo and sneak peeks, it seems like it's going to be rough... About Teddy leaving, it seems like it a lot, but the synopsis for the finale says "Teddy makes a surprising choice regarding her love life and her future.". Could this mean she makes the "right" decision by staying with Henry, the "underdog" and not going with Perkins, the "rock star" after all? Weird... I just don't know anymore... It would bring purpose to Webber's decision to get Henry in the diabetes trial, though... Anyways, there is a lot to wrap up next week, and I haven't even mentioned Slexie or Christina's pregnancy yet! And it seems the hospital will have a plane crash on their hands to top it all off! Should be an intense finale! Oh, and special props to Gusar for bringing up my old "chief Shepperd chaperone" quote. Means a lot, man! ;) Do you find this valuable? |

I was kinda sad that Lucy left.... I mean she wasn't very important and stuff but Alex really seemed to like her, and the way she did it, she took his job and then her reason to doing that was the exact same thing he had said earlier that morning about it being competition.... I mean, that was kinda low..... Totally changed my impression of her....There is a Slexie pregnancy? As in Lexie and Mark? So not Jaxie? (I don't even know why I just used that name it's weird :P) You could see that she still likes him. I mean, she sang to him in the Song Beneath the Song and now she looks at him instead of the baby so just get back together will you!?!?! I mean Mark looked so sad when he said it was almost everything he ever wanted :( The whole thing is sooooo unfair to Jackson.... He seems to care about Lexie.... And now he dropped out of the trial so if he loses Lexie.... Cristina is going to be pregnant? Maybe it will remind her of Burke :) Okay... Sorry.... After all these years I still don't really like Hunt.... I think he and Teddy would make a better couple.... Unlike everybody else.... Speaking of which, poor Henry.... I felt so bad for him when I watched the episode :( He clearly likes her and all she can do is point out girls for him to be with and date McTreaty (is that right?).... Henry wants a divorce? Now she's leaving? That could be good for Cristina, since Teddy has been really mean to her. I'm not sure why. I mean, I know Cristina doesn't follow the rules and she should but she seems to be almost as good as Teddy, maybe better in some areas... It's like Teddy is the second Hahn.... And I hated Hahn.... Derek does look really cute with Zola, but I don't think Meredith really wants to adopt her.... CHUPOOO was so funny :P Do you find this valuable? |

I only mentioned *Christina's* pregnancy, not Lexie's! By the way, is there a name for the Christina and Owen couple already? Christowen perhaps?... ;) I will feel very sorry for Jackson as well when Slexie consummates (again), as it is for sure meant to be. The guy doesn't deserve it... 2) Judging by the summary for (today's already!) episode 22, I still have hope for Henry and Teddy somehow, as she will make a "surprising decision" in her life. I don't know what that really means, though... Maybe I'm taking the too easy and predictable path here... I shall be able to further comment on this only on the next weekend, when I see episode 22, though. 3) Meredith is just still adjusting to the idea, taking it in and getting past the trauma with her own mother. I predict she will get over it and be a terrific mother herself. Meredith provides the title for this show after all, so... Do you find this valuable? |

"1) We need a lot more of you around here, SuperJ! Where have you been, girl?!1) I foresee a day when it'll be just us two here :) 2) But of course. Crowen. I know, ugh. Makes me think of crows. :) 3) True. But on the other hand, he probably sees it coming. I mean, he should be, he's not stupid. Lexie is constantly looking at Mark. Christina pointed it out immediately. Even Jackson himself said "Are you staring at Mark again?". It's as if he's playing denial so he can enjoy being with Lexie for as long as possible. 4) Yep. Her talk with the counselor enlightened her quite a bit. She was totally honest about not knowing much how to be a mother. But what she does have is knowledge about how to _not_ be a mother. The shift how she is with Zola at the beginning and at the end of the ep is quite visible. Do you find this valuable? |

"But of course. Crowen. I know, ugh. Makes me think of crows. :)"Hahahaha! It was my first thought :P How abut Owina? No, that sounds weird :P Owstina? Cristowenina? Reminds me of "menina" and "cristo" :P I dont want Meredith to lose her job.... Maybe the chief will cut her some slack because she did it to help Adele... And Cristina being pregnant will definitely stir things up :S Anyway onto the episode that has actually already aired, the baby in the organs was really awesome! Does anybody here actually like the surgery parts? My mom finds them absolutely disgusting but I love them! This show actually made me become absolutely fascinated by surgery, more than I already was.... Quick question, after the season finale, how long until season 8? Will I have to wait the whole summer?!?!? Thank God Alex didn't go to Africa. I mean, we lost George and Izzie and I don't want Alex gone. It's such a pity that after all he was doing was being nice that Lucy is going to leave like that. Do you find this valuable? |

"And to top it off, Alex taddles on Meredith (sorry JanelleCoulton, you hope is dashed)... So let the drama begin..."Yep: Thanks for that, I thought as much. I agree about April being organised, but I think you may have hit the nail on the head when you wrote about Jackson deserving respect for leaving the diabetes trial. He could snag the Chief Resident job right out from under Alex's nose. I like Alex, don't get me wrong; but at the moment I am so angry that he betrayed Meredith, you don't do that to your friends and Mer was probably the only true friend Alex has. Anyway we'll soon know tomorrow night. Do you find this valuable? |

"1) I foresee a day when it'll be just us two here :)1) Knock on wood or do it in Slovenian when you post that stuff, man! I sure hope you're wrong, even though it is deserted here most of the time indeed. Truth is we keep getting new members almost every day, though... I don't even know why that is... It's certainly not for posting here, that's for sure... I'm guessing there must be a very big site with links coming here, so people come, join on a whim because they see the big yellow button, and that's about it. 2) Thanks for the info about "Crowen". It makes me think of crows as well. Not a sympathetic or nice bird... 3) Jackson is indeed in denial, isn't he? Well said. I know that Lexie is a very lovable person and a pretty girl, but it also seems to me that the guy is just fooling himself... Jaxie has no future... and he knows it. It's just sad...

"Quick question, after the season finale, how long until season 8? Will I have to wait the whole summer?!?!?"If the pattern seen so far holds at all (and it should), season 8 should start sometime between the 20th and the 30th September 2011. Probably on the 22nd or the 29th, assuming it stays on Thursday nights. You'll definitely have to wait through the whole next Summer. It's usual TV trend, though. No biggie. We can hack it. You have to give them time to film the new season, right? Do you find this valuable? |

"SuperJ:1) Join me in being mad at Charlie's Angels :) Which will be our lead-in next season, btw. Thursdays will be Charlie's Angels, followed by Grey's and Private Practice. And Losa is correct, September 22nd is very likely the start of the new season. 2) We knock on wood too :) So *knock on wood* that we'll continue to have regulars here. Do you find this valuable? |

"2) We knock on wood too :) So *knock on wood* that we'll continue to have regulars here."I wasn't really following what you meant here, so I googled "knock on wood" for the actual meaning of the expression. Seems like it's meant to be used in the hope that a good thing will continue to occur after it has been acknowledged, so that's why you said I should knock on wood we'd actually continue to have regulars here, right? See, in my language, the literal translation of the expression means actually something of the opposite. The expression is used when someone predicts something unwanted, so we should "knock on wood" so it muffles the sound and the "powers above" or "destiny" doesn't hear it and makes it come true to our dismay. I figure it's a bit different than the american meaning... Do you find this valuable? |

Most people think that April should be chief resident and I sort of agree but I'm not sure she could handle it. Maybe it's because I don't now her that well now and she ran away from Mr.Clarkson when everybody else faced him. But she does do well with following protocol and handles the paperwork well. She can do without surgery and she has VIRGIN SUPERPOWERS!!! :P So, I guess it should be her, even though Alex is a good candidate with the whole children from Africa, I think he got the money really unfairly and he was going in debt at first so maybe he would also do that with the hospital and it would be chaotic. Plus, right now, I really hate him for telling Hunt about Meredith, who, could have been chief resident herself, but probably wont be now. That is sort of a good thing since if she wants a baby she cannot have too much work.I knew right from the moment Owen was chosen to pick chief resident that Cristina wasn't gonna be chief resident, and Owen does have a point in that she does not follow rules and she loves to operate. We all saw how Derek got, to the point that he quit, so she could never take that job. Do you find this valuable? |

Maybe it's because I don't now her that well now and she ran away from Mr.Clarkson when everybody else faced him.I agree about April. She follows rules and protocol well and she cares for her patients deeply, which makes her a good doctor, but I don't think she's exactly chief resident material either. About the comparison with Derek, I think it's different, because Derek was chief of surgery (like Richard Webber is now), and that's higher than chief resident. In fact, I don't even know what chief resident is supposed to do or mean all that much in special... Wasn't Callie chief resident once, a couple of seasons back? I'm a little foggy on that...

LOL"They do administrative work. Assigning residents to attendings, making sure residents are always where they need to be and where they're needed (this is mostly where Callie failed), at the end of the day going through all the charts to make sure all the necessary information is on them... As to who's the chief resident now, I don't know. It don't think there is one. It's for sure not Bailey, she's an attending. But if there's no chief resident, who does the stuff I've mentioned above?

You're just confirming my suspicions that there isn't actually any "official" chief resident right now... which made me question the real autonomous "existence" or need for such a position in the first place... The way I see it, it's been just a plot device to create tension and suspense lately, mostly. It feels kind of artificial for me for this reason... Do you find this valuable? |
