Technically, the event is listed as two separate episodes, both written by Krista Vernoff and featuring Jessica Capshaw as an official cast member for the first time.

George's mom returns, faced with the difficult task of deciding what to do with his organs.
The second episode, entitled "Goodbye," follows at 10 p.m.
As this episode begins, time has passed. Everyone at Seattle Grace Hospital is struggling after losing one of their own and are turning to any distraction they can find.
Meredith and Derek are consummating their marriage anywhere and everywhere, while Cristina and Owen have been instructed to abstain from sex by Dr. Wyatt.
Guest stars for "Good Mourning" are Shannon Lucio as Amanda (the woman George saved at the end of last season), Debra Monk as Mrs. O'Malley, Martha Plimpton as Pam, Mitch Pileggi as Larry Jennings, Zoe Boyle as Clara and Zack Shada as Andy.

Lexie is in denial. Mer's VO was about the 5 Stages of Grief. Mer knows it's George and everyone believes her.

I'm just wondering why every body keeps insisting that's George on the table dying? Hasn't any body seen the extended 6th Season premiere where Lexi says it's not him?

i actually also think Izzie will laugh. I've seen some pictures where izzie is crying, but also one photo where izzie is on the ground and (im pretty sure this was in a scene, its hard to tell from the pic) she looked like she was hysterically laughing, then crying, so I think she'll have a big breakdown, either way its going to be soo heartbreaking.
ahh i seriously can't wait.

I kinda believe that Izzie will laugh as well. Those pictures seeing her down and crying aren't proof of the contrary. Maybe she will start laughing and then break down crying? Who knows... it's going to be interesting.

This is going to be super sad and intense - not sure if that's the perfect mood to begin Season 6 with, but I can understand why it is being done. I'm really going to miss George - and Izzie crying is going to be really upsetting. But that's the point. Cannot wait for September 24th!!!!
