Dena, I remember when my DH was laid off. Even though he hated the job he was laid off from, it was very difficult for both of us, anyway. I hope your DH ends up with a better job, and things go well for you. I'll keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. BTW, my DH found a job he liked much better, but paid a fraction of what he was making before. In the end, the happiness in the job is much more important than the money. I forgot about Libby being in the hospital with Hurley. I'm sure this is all leading up to a big season finale cliffhanger, but what can they do to top what they've done so far? I didn't pay any attention to that clue thing. It's a gimmick for the local news station and their sweeps. I don't watch that channel much any more for news since they've gotten a lot more trashy than they used to, and I like Kristine Kahanek's (sp?) weather reports the best. Sally

I loved it. The season finale was violent, but I didn't feel like it was gratuitous violence. The violence was the story and how the violence will shape the characters paths is the story. Meredith, with the help of Christina and Izzie, got up and showered and acted like everything was normal after the bomb. She has never been a weak, crybaby character(not that mourning a miscarriage would be weak.) But emotionally, she has been dark & twisty. I don't think it is at all out of character for her to soldier on during her miscarriage. In the flashbacks of her with her mother, you see Ellis raising a kid who would just "be extraordinary." Avery(the good-looking doc) has already made a play for Yang before at the party earlier in the season and again at the hospital the day after the party. I think with the Teddy/Owen/Yang triangle over(Owen chose Christina,) Owen/Yang/Avery will be the new triangle. Avery showed confidence in Christina in making the decision that she would operate on Derek without any of the attendings. She loves that validation and some of her biggest fights with Owen have been about him not having her back. Avery would be a new romance chapter for Christina, as she has always been with teacher/mentor/superiors. While he does have the powerful family connection, he is only a resident and therefore an equal on a professional footing.

I personally did not care for this episode at all. It was making the point that one tiny thing done one way can affect a lifetimes worth of change or outcome. I think they should get back together and Yang needs to just get over herself and realize it is not always all about her, he is a great man and loves her. She can not have it both ways.

I thought the same thing about that first SWAT guy unless the guy shot him but I didn't see that. I also thought there was an opportunity for Callie to grab the gun when she gave him the bandages. He had his hand flat and the gun on it and she laid them on top. It seemed like she could have grabbed the gun when she pressed the bandages on top of it.
