Wasn't Owen's project the most worthy -- not only realistic, but with a probable immediate payoff in patient care!

Oh, come on! Of course Mer doesn't have Alzheimer's, she's just a little sloppy and forgetful sometimes. You know, the occasional stuttering and having traces of her lunch left in her hair kind of thing. It's just a quality she has, Derek's just overthinking it because he cares but I really doubt that Shonda's going for Alzheimer's storyline.

Very good episode. The residents are attendings for a day so that the attendings can do their presentations for the Chief to get the one million. And the one million came from the documentary thing for next episode.
I love this episode. I'm going to start with Alex...he really did stand up for that boy, I'm very impressed. Who knew he could be in Peds?
Callie telling the Chief that if she wins, it'll even out the score between Arizona and her. Arizona being the better lesbian...lol.
Teddy is seriously pissing me off. So mean to Cristina and she's holding a grudge against Derek. "Charismatic cult leader", really?
Mark has no sex life...funny. Is it me or does Eric Dane look a little gaunt in this episode? He's not as good-looking as I remember.
Owen and Cristina...Owen has just been amazing. And I really like that Cristina finally spoke up so her patient can get the lung transplant. That's why he didn't call his daughter, he knew he's not going to die yet

Why did Owen win? Bailey had a much better proposal.
Also April? You are SO NOT made for Neuro. You are made to take care of puppies at the pound. Go do that. Or plant corn. Yeah, that's more suitable for you.
My M/D heart broke at the end scene. Forgetting your keys isn't a sign but still...you can't help to wonder.

Doesn´t Derek says to the chief, while pitching his idea for the Alzheimers´s research, that every time she loses her keys or asks which day of the week they are in, that he FEARS she MIGHT get the Alzheimers from her mother, the same way she "got" her surgery skills? (or something like that)

I LOVE Owen! He is being so great for Christina! And also I thought that his reason for getting the grant was the best. Besides Bailey. Everyone else had a relationship issue involved with their reason for getting it! And although I thought Derek's reason was good, I think he can probably get the money from somewhere else! I really, REALLY don't Meredith to get Alzheimers, but think most of you are right. This is just showing Derek's fear that Meredith has the gene! I wish that they had just gotten the result of that test already!

If not realizing that your key is in your hand the whole time you were looking for it is a sign of early Alzheimer's....then I'm doomed :P I do this sort of stuff all the time!! So no, that doesn't mean that Mer has Alzheimer's...Derek is just worried of losing her...

I imagine that the money would be coming from the documentary filming, hence the Chief telling Bailey that things were going to be a little bit different for awhile when she suggested that he didn't have that kind of money available. Izzie? Not happening, unless she won the lottery. It was made perfectly clear that Izzie put every dollar she got from Denny into the clinic. Bringing her up just seems like wishful thinking to me.
I also think it's early to be freaking out about Meredith. Everyone sometimes has moments where they're looking for something that they have in their hand. Most of the time, those moments come when you're distracted and thinking about something else. Meredith had just performed brain surgery on her own, I'd say that qualifies. ;) (Speaking of which, she rocked it!) I really don't think Grey's would go in the direction of her suddenly having Alzheimer's. This storyline is I think more intended to have something to 'fix' Cristina, to give her a goal, so

Glad Cristina is getting back to her old self. I knew Meredith would rock that solo surgery! Loved seeing the sparkle in Derek's eyes when he saw the result. I think it was heartbreaking seeing Derek's fear for Mer at the end. My hope the writer's focus on their McBaby and we get to see more MerDer scenes.

Even really early-onset genetically-linked alzheimers doesn't start to show up until the middle-to-late 40's (this is one of the few things I actually know as a first-year med student). In the series, Meredith is supposed to be in her late 20's/early 30's... so I don't see how they could be "giving Meredith alzheimer's." As others have said, Derek is just having a normal fear response to the realization that Meredith might be carrying the gene.

I'm not sure where everyone is getting that their giving Meredith Alzheimers? I don't think that was the point of the show. The point is the fear that Derek carries about that, that he loves her so much that he can't stand the thought of losing her, and that genetically that's the path she could be on. The key-in-her-hand thing isn't Shonda "giving her Alzehimers" it's simply Derek's constant reminder of his worst fear. And as someone whose mother died very early from breast cancer, I think that kind of fear is a totally realistic portrayal. Even if it hasn't happened yet, it's something that's always, always in the back of your mind.
I really hope that Meredith will be ok. Her and derek have been through a lot to get to where they are right now. But I know that Derek will support Meredith even if she does have Alzheimers.

October 22nd, 2010 7:44 AM
I don´t think Mer has Alzheimers... I think that what makes Derek push for a Alzheimers study is that he thinks she may have Alzheimers...
What do you think Shonda means with this tweet:
"Me too! HA! RT @MarryMeOwen If forgetting your keys means u have alzheimer's then I'm screwed"

It is a sad thought that Mer MIGHT have Alzheimer's :( But I'm sure things will work out for her with Derek by her side.
Well on the bright side, Mer really flaunted the surgeon side of her in this episode! :)
I am totally in love with Owen. He has been so supportive and patient with Cristina. That's awesome.
Glad Cristina seems to be improving although progress is pretty slow. I miss the old Cristina!
Callie's hilarious! Trying to psych everyone out so that she can get the grant herself..

Even if Merideth is going to get Alzheimers, isn;t she currently too young to be having symptoms? The character is only in her early 30s. I thought early unset happens in your late 40ish age.
