   I'm surprised not to see much forum discussion on this episode - where is everyone?  What did you think of the episode??

   Hi! I posted at What Did You Think of Tonight's Grey's Anatomy?

   I'll copy here!

    It wasn’t painful. It wasn’t sacrifice. It was magnificent.

   Meredith didn’t care at first. She didn’t care about him. But she learned how to have a family with Lexie. She didn’t have it, even with her mother. Now she has Derek and Lexie. It was lovely as should have been. And I knew Alex would say something. “He is the sick one”. He has this in common with Meredith, a bad father. But he learned in the hard way. And he regrets. So he helps everybody with the same issues as he did. Derek was supportive (“you don’t owe him anything”). It’s wasn’t about obligation. It’s about family and Derek always had one. But he could not tell Meredith what to do. She had to learn by herself. She had to feel. And she did! Love her! The door is open.

   And knowing that was Ellen Pompeo’s line “I want you to do this for her.” Love her even more!

   Derek! That “my wife” was dreamier than ever! Please make them legally married! I know is true to them, but they need to be able to protect each other if there’s a legal issue. Please. Don’t make the lovely post-it scene be a thing we would lament after all.

   Lexie is lovely. She’s young and happy and naive. But she’s lovely, caring. And she’s full of love. To Meredith, to Mark, to her father. She makes everyone feel loved. And they need love!

   I feel sorry for Mark childhood at that “parent who give you everything” scene. He should have suffered a lot. And he has become mature and healed. I can only root for him. Love the big boy’s scenes together.

   I didn’t care about Owen at first. But he has grown a lot these episodes for me. He didn’t take Cristina’s nonsense at all. He’s not selfish or arrogant as Burke. He’s compassionate and strong. A leader too. And Cristina will learn a lot with him. As Izzie did today.

   waaaaa!

    

   Thatcher and the Chief settle the score!

    

   It was owesome. I think Thatcher showed one of his strongest when talking to the Chief: When he said he had to take care of Meredith and Lexie because he at least owes him that. I was like: "You go tell him, Thatch!"

    

   Otherwise, Mer was great to give her kidney and I agree she should do it for Lexie, but I think it's also great for her, now she can really bond with her father and he gets a chance to make it up for her (I still believe it wasn't his fault, it was Mer's mom)
