Grey's Anatomy
Spoilers

Get ready for the latest installment of what is becoming an annual or even biannual tradition: the worlds of Grey's Anatomy and its spinoff Private Practice will cross over again.

Private Practice leading lady Kate Walsh is heading back to Grey’s Anatomy in January in a crossover involving Addison, Mark, and a patient played by guest star Leven Rambin.

The situation as we know it is as follows:

On Grey’s Anatomy half of the crossover, Dr. Mark Sloan (McSteamy, a.k.a. Eric Dane) pleads with Addison to come to Seattle and help perform surgery on Rambin's character.

One would assume that the girl is pregnant, given that Addison is the preeminent neonatal surgeon in, like, the whole country. But that has not been confirmed at this point.

Then, the story continues on Private Practice when, according to creator Shonda Rhimes, “complications arise and Mark takes [her] back down to L.A. for more surgery.”

As for Mark's connection to the new patient, whether sparks fly between Addison and Mark, and how Mark and Lexie are affected, that all remains to be seen. For now.

Are you excited for the latest Grey's Anatomy-Private Practice crossover?

We'll reserve judgment on this for now, but do you think they're overdoing it with these crossovers. By our quick calculations, this will be the fourth since April 2008:

• Addison returned to Seattle near the end of Season 5 of Grey's Anatomy. We forget the exact reason right now, which probably tells you all you need to know.
• Last season, Addison summoned Derek to treat her ailing brother, Archer (Grant Show). This story line continued for several episodes and on both programs.
• Just this fall, Bailey (Chandra Wilson) took a transplant patient to Los Angeles, where she resides, after she was unable to get the help needed in Seattle.

Last week on Grey's Anatomy, Derek was front and center throughout "Give Peace a Chance." This week, with just as big a case hanging in the balance, it's Arizona's time to shine.

Here's a clip of Dr. Robbins, pediatric surgeon extraordinaire, telling peeps how she runs a different kind of show, and how pediatrics isn't just general surgery on a miniature scale:

It's official. McDreamy has channeled his inner Sarah Palin and gone rogue.

In the below sneak previews of this week's episode of Grey's Anatomy, "Give Peace a Chance," Dr. Derek Shepherd learns that a hospital employee has a spinal tumor.

He wants to do what he can to help, despite seemingly long-shot odds. Richard tells him no. McDreamy doesn't care and begins assembling a surgical team anyway.

Like we said, he's gone rogue, people, and there's no going back.

Here's the first clip from the episode, which also features Derek narrating for the first time, and marks the directorial debut of Chandra Wilson (Dr. Miranda Bailey):

Three new clips from tomorrow night's episode of Grey's Anatomy, "I Saw What I Saw," depict an intense, combative scene at Seattle Grace. That's putting it mildly.

Words are exchanged. Accusations are made. Fingers are pointed.

A chaotic incident that results in 12 different accounts from 12 different doctors leaves everyone on edge and Richard searching for answers (and someone to blame).

When Alex hears a snide comment from a Mercy Wester, he loses it ...

Follow the jump for two more previews from the episode. Lexie, Cristina and others get grilled, while the animosity between the newcomers and old timers lingers ...

On tomorrow's Grey's Anatomy, a swarm of annoying, highly suspicious new doctors from Mercy West invades Seattle Grace. The merger is in full swing - and the mood is tense.

In the first sneak preview below, Meredith, Izzie, Alex and Cristina discuss their plans of attack (or resign themselves to their fate) in Mer's room as she recovers from surgery:

Six more clips from the appropriately titled "Invasion" await you after the jump. In them, Callie flips out when her dad returns and tries to "turn" her. We mean what you think.

Also, Izzie gets hit on by a new doc, who is probably just using her for inside info, and Arizona proves to be the voice of reason (a common theme for the past few episodes) ...

Below are three sneak previews from tomorrow's all-new episode of Grey's Anatomy, "Tainted Obligation." Alex receives a wake up call from a bear. A real bear, not Yang's Mr. Bear.

He decides after this incident that trailer life is not for him and he wants to move back to Mer's. Izzie's not up for that move, however, as she's trying to move forward, not back ...

Follow the jump for two more clips from "Tainted Obligation," in which Izzie treats cancer patient waiting for the right moment to propose to his girlfriend of eight years, and (as teased in last week's promos), Meredith and Lexie's father Thatcher arrives in rough shape ...

Below are promotional pictures from this week's all-new episode of Grey's Anatomy, "Tainted Obligation." Thatcher Grey is back at Seattle Grace, and he needs a transplant.

Presumably for his liver. Lexie's not a match. That means ... Meredith is likely to devolve into her dark, twisty self as she considers her choice. And we're in for an intense episode.

As the dust settles from the season premiere, below you will find four sneak previews of Thursday's all-new Grey's Anatomy, "I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watchin' Me."

In the first, Derek is about to freak over the proposed budget cuts at Seattle Grace. Mark tells his buddy to chill, but he might want to pass that advice on to his girlfriend as well ...

Follow the jump for three more Grey's Anatomy clips, including one in which Izzie debuts her new (faux) hairstyle, and another in which Cristina works with children. LOL ...

If there's one thing Shonda Rhimes and a deluge of spoilers have made abundantly clear about the new season of Grey's Anatomy, it's that George's death is, like, really sad.

But if there's a second thing that's clear, is that ... nothing else is clear.

With the show writing off mainstays Katherine Heigl and Ellen Pompeo for significant periods of time, and bidding farewell to T.R. Knight altogether, what's next this season?

Well, from what we've been hearing - including in quotes from Chandra Wilson (below) herself - that's not the end of it. Layoffs and mergers will bring in some new blood and mean the end of Seattle Grace as we know it. But who comes and who goes?
