Well this episode was written by (according to ABC) Allan Heinberg who has written for GA before, but is fairly new with only three episodes written for this series (including this season's Heart of the Matter) and he is also an executive producer for the show, so it's not unusual that Rhimes did not write it really, but she does have a HUGE input in the overall script which may have lacked this time due to the strike and editing a show can be crucial. What I find interesting is the question if ABC (who is in charge of the editing of episode 11) will do the overused standard of ending this episode with unhappiness for the characters (including the lead couple Mer/Der) and the all too played out dramatic cliffhanger of some major event or will they try to edit this in some fashion of hope (given the dark ending of last season) Both Heigl and Dempsey in recent interviews have warned fans they may be "unhappy" with this "potential" final for the season (strike pending) and they have bas

Write to abc's sponsors (garnier nutrisse, herbal essense, Hewlett Packard, Comfort Inn among others) and tell them your support the writers.

I certainley hope they editted the episode the way Shonda would have wanted it.
Hopefully the strike ends soon, and maybe the writers will come back with great ideas for Mer/Der to be together but still keep it interesting because they've had so much time off to think.
