"An Honest Mistake" Sneak Preview
After a photo gallery and two promos, here's a two-minute sneak preview of "An Honest Mistake." And it's a rather intense one, to put it mildly, picking up where last week left off.
In the midst of a major operation, Derek finds his confidence is shaken like never before as he faces off with Addison over what course is best for their dying, pregnant patient ...

I think the reason Derek is so adament about Jen's life is directly related to his conversation w/ Jen's husband... who told Derek if the decision had to be made b/w keeping the baby or Jen, to keep Jen alive. It's a very complicated situation. He is already mad at Addison... so she was the easiest target to release his anger. But, I agree. Keeping Jen alive would be harder on her loved ones than for her to pass away. At least their last memories of her would be good ones..

If Jen will no longer be Jen without her frontal lobe, then Addison is right. Keeping Jen alive without what makes her Jen (AND causing the baby to die) is not the right thing to do. Totally on Addie's side - Derek is just super upset because he feels like he created the mess to begin with. We've never seen Derek mess up this way before and he's not used to it.
Addison is right - I can see why Derek would want to save Jen but saving Jen without a personality - saving the "shell" to quote Elisabelle - is not Ok. Looks like an amazing 2 hour conclusion tomorrow . . .

anuflas- the frontal lobe controls whether a person basically has a conscience or not. It is the part of the brain that can look at consequences of actions, determine right from wrong, determine appropriate social responses and correlate similarities and differences in things. So basically a person without a frontal lobe becomes a monster and for eg, they may not be able to see the difference between defending yourself and hurting someone for the sake of it.
When they used to perform frontal lobe lobotomies on psychiatric patients, they found that they had no emotion and they lost their personalities.
The temporal lobe contains the hippocampus which is used for memory formation. It is also related to the senses, especially the higher order sensoral functions like facial recognition and speech formation.
So basically by removing both the frontal and temporal lobes Jen wouldn't have her memories, her conscience, her personality, her full speech function and may never be able to rele

ive been wondering all this time....
isnt it possible that the promos and the previews are drifting us to another direction like how all the other previews did?????
but i am gonna love the scene with derek addison and mer!!!! i love those 3 people!!!!! i hope addison stays for the rest of the season!!!!
i think derek was just going to a rough time and thats why he punched mark and why he wanted to save jen's live so badly..
although that does not give him permission to chop her brain...
i just really cant wait!!!

I don't know. Addison totally has this behavior coming from him. She pushes him to be God to save her brother but not to save a patient close to him? Talk about conflict of interests. It still doesn't mean that this might be new to Meredith who always had known the McDreamy side of Derek. It's going to be interesting to see how she deals with it.
Second, I don't know if just having the baby would make things better. True, the removal or cutting or whatever of the frontal lobe is going to make drastic changes but the person is still there. Does this mean that all of her memories are removed? Just asking because I don't know.
Maybe it's being a little selfish trying to save your wife than the baby. The dad hasn't had time to bond with the baby yet while the other person is his significant other. I think it'll just wait and see the episode to see what the hell is going on.
