"Beat Your Heart Out" Sneak Previews
Below is a sneak preview of next Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy, "Beat Your Heart Out."
As we posted just a few minutes ago, there's no need to worry about Derek and Addison. Looks like that's just your typical Shonda Rhimes preview deception ... remember Derek dying and/or Rose being pregnant in the promo for the Season Five premiere?
Exactly. In Thursday's crossover event with Private Practice, Derek clearly has eyes only for Meredith. He's also got a ring, and as the clip below shows, he's wondering how to offer it:
Follow the jump for a second sneak preview of next week's action, this time from the Private Practice side of things. Addison learns from Naomi that her brother, Archer, has cancer, which presumably will lead them to request Derek's services at Seattle Grace ...

I totally agree that Sara Ramirez doesn't get enough screen time. She is a fantastic actress and she has a crappy storyline. They show her once or twice the whole show and that's it. Just because Erica left doesn't mean they need to put Callie in the back.

All right we have seen Meredith making sex with 3 or 4 guys in Season 2;no pills have been mentioned. So I think that she uses
spiral against pregnancy; spirals are very certain but they are not recomended to women who have not delivered yet;their fertility can be dameged.
Men are volnerable as well there are many infections(offen symptomless) that could make them childless.Addison's poisonous ivy rush is a suggestion.So Derek could have not children as well.
And I doubt that Meredith will want to get pregnant before marriage; that could damage her reputation; and women hate blackmail situations

I think that babies is the right thing right now for Meredith! You want her to be ready for it but it wouldn't be as much fun as to see her facing all the difficulties within short:) It will be amazing to see Mer growing into the mother role. If Mer+Der gets a McBaby within short Mer might not be ready for it at the time but Mer+Der will grow even closer to each other while learning everything about being parents. It would be so fun to watch this!!! If they are going to have a baby in the last season, we won't be able to see how they will be as parents. If they have a baby now on the other hand, we'd be able to follow him/her growing up and see how Meredith and Derek are doing as parents and facing all drama that follows having a baby etc.

greysaddiction-- I have been watching the show from the beginning. I've seen most episodes multiple times. Also, I'm not saying that Meredith and Derek will or should be pulled back and forth. I just don't think they'll get married until the end. My point was that some fans act as if putting them together will be happily-ever-after and it won't. And One Tree Hill is only still around because it's on the CW, who don't need great ratings to keep a show. Nothing against the CW, I watch their shows.

McNorway-- that we totally agree on. I really don't think there will be MerDer baby footsteps for a long time. And I think that would be rushing them too much. That, coming from a very busy stay-at-home-Mom of 3, age 6 and under!!! Let them enjoy each other first. Babies later!

greysaddiction: You have some good points.
Just wanted to clear with you guys that I didn't say Mer would make a bad mother. I just think - as greysaddiction - that she needs more time before she's ready to even think about babies. So I don't think we'll be hearing MerDer babie-footsteps in a while - At least not this season.

As for all this talk about babies...
Der obviously wants them someday. He's always alluded to that. I think the reference in the promo was merely Der having had a conversation with Mer about "some day", which sounds like it may have been an intentional conversation to test her comfort level b/c of his wanting to ask her to marry him. He knows Mer. He knows she'll freak out. He's talking about big forever things with her to try to get a sense of how much she'd freak out, if at all. Then he's excited b/c they had a conversation about babies "some day" and she must have seemed warm to the idea-- she didn't seem scared of it at all.
I don't think Ellen Pompeo is pregnant. Did you see the most recent pic posted here of her with her husband, Chris Ivery? She's still quite thin.
McNorway-- I think Mer will make an excellent Mother some day. She is SO compassionate. SO patient. Do I think she's ready now? NO. Do I want her to be ready now? NO. I want to savor every minute of

And I also forgot to meantion; what if they get babies - who the hell is going to stay home with them? Obviously both of them is too obsessed with their work and careers. Mer has a bright future as a surgeon and Derek is a famous brainsurgeon. Do you guys REALLY think one of them is going to give that up? And do you really imagine Mer as a typical housewife? I think not.

Well, I couldn't care less for the MerDer engagement. If they get engaged or not, whatever. BUT MCBABIES?! HELL NO! That would mean that they're becoming a family. And CLEARLY, Mer is not mother-material. At least not for a couple of years. I mean, with all her familiy-issues, a big Shepard-family is lightyears away.

Gloria: The reason Mark had a strange look on his face after Derek said "I thought I could trust you" obviously has something to do with Lexie. Either Derek has found out about their (disgusting) relationship or Mark is feeling a bit guilty over not telling him yet.
