In another incident on Thursday’s two-hour season-ender, Dr. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and her beau, Dr. Derek Shepherd, were wed. Well, strain of.
Last week, they had given up their imagine ceremony, so that living-on-borrowed-time Izzie could tie the knot her fiance, Dr. Alex Karev, instead. Eager to get on with their own nuptials, Meredith and "McDreamy" (Patrick Dempsey) shawl a few moments from their bustling clinic duties to use up, and sign, a integration promise on a Post-It pad.
Among the items in the contract: "You’ll inamorata me, even when you unwilling me," and "Nobody walks out, no stuff what happens." As a ceremony, it would do in a pinch, and they complete themselves hoard and wife. Since choose colleague T.R. Knight is very much believed to be leaving the series, his character, Dr. George O’Malley, seemed a cinch to be exiting the hospital.
It was no surprise, then, that mild-mannered O’Malley announced he was enlisting in the U.S. Army as a trauma surgeon, headed for Iraq. He never made it. In the episode’s crowning twist, O’Malley was revealed to be the unrecognizably bloodied, injured John Doe who had pushed a chick out of the method of a bus and been struck by it himself. He died a leading man in Seattle.
But O’Malley wasn’t the only a victim centre of the dominant characters. Izzie had appeared near passing when Dr. Shepherd proposed high-stakes surgery to do away with her genius tumor. The gamble: that doing it would depredate her of her memory.
"The tumor is sitting fist in the central of lot that makes you you," Grey told her, arguing against the procedure. Izzie had the surgery anyway. It seemed to be successful. But then she post-haste appeared not able to recognize anything. Her high-strung inexperienced husband, Alex (Justin Chambers), was frightened and lashed out at her.
"I’m depressing if this is adamant for you," Izzie opportunity back, "but you are not the one with the short-term reminiscence of a carrot." Then her tribute returned, just great enough for her and Alex to embrace. "You’re back," said Alex joyfully. Then, shockingly, she flat-lined.
But it wasn’t unquestionably much of a shocker. Izzie is played by Katherine Heigl, who is extensively expected to be leaving "Grey’s Anatomy" to focus one's thoughts on movies. "When something begins, you roughly have no estimation how it’s contemporary to end," said Dr. Grey at the outset of the episode, in one of her cloying voiceovers.
Viewers of "Grey’s Anatomy" might crave to differ.
