Tonight's Grey's Anatomy Episode: "These Ties That Bind"
With two weeks to go until the return of Grey's Anatomy, we will have to make do with a repeat, "These Ties That Bind," this evening. It's the seventh episode of this season.
There's a lot to say about this episode, and our episode guide to "These Ties That Bind" pretty much covers all the action from the opening moments to the closing credits.
Our photo and video sections contain some great images and clips, and our pages of the episode's quotes and music should help with the songs and lines that you loved.
Our staff Round Table offers a lively discussion of events, as well.
Fortunately (or not, depending on your view), this guy plays a big role.
As always, our Grey's Anatomy forum is open for discussion, and your comments are welcome on any of the articles on our site. Share your thoughts and views on all things Grey's with fellow members of the show's #1 Grey's Anatomy fan community!

No preview...and probably won't be a preview for 2 weeks. Kinda makes me mad. LOL!!! And another thing that makes me way pissed is seeing Denny's mug on the ep. I am so tired of him. I can't wait till the march ep till he is gone for good. They have figured out that Izzy has a tumor. She is a great actress, but they have wore out the sickness and seeing dead Denny. I've moved passed that. Give her 15 minutes and then let her go. RIP Miss Izzy!!!!

They are REALLY dragging this Izzy thing out. Two weeks in a row barely any progress, and with 2 hour episodes no less! I want to find out what's wrong with her without resorting to spoilers!

Right like the ferry crash episodes were during march sweeps for season 3, the bomb episode in season 2 was the superbowl episode or february sweeps.

It one of the periods of the year when the national ratings of the popularity of U.S. TV shows are studied. TV stations normally deliberately schedule main events in plots in some shows in order to boost television ratings.

maybe they're making some time pass along in the show so that Derek and Mark can get over their fight and the air to pass through.......clean karma and all that
