Spectacular!

Again, this is an episode that proves how great "Grey's Anatomy" really is. In this season finale, Derek and Meredith continue their research, and this time their patients are a young couple who met while they were in treatment, which makes everything harder. Also, there's one guy stuck in a pile of concrete that surrounds his body and whom the doctors (bailey, hahn, callie, mark, cristina...) rush to save, before it's too late. Rebecca is still acting weird, and Izzie thinks it's better if she gets help - something Alex refuses. It was a great and emotional episode. Everything could end up really badly, but Shonda managed to write a magic ending for all the characters. My favourite scenes were the very last ones, in which Callie and Erica finally make a move, Richard visits Adele, Alex and Izzie talk (well, more than that actually) in the bedroom, George tells Lexie that he's allowed to repeat the exam... and Meredith standing there, waiting for Derek to celebrate their accomplishment (not only in medicine, but also in their personal life). Unlike Season 1 or 2, we don't have any cliff-hanger. It was a double episode filled with drama and medicine where everyone was able to shine. A great ending to an awesome season. Season 5? I bet it's going to be even better...

all about love...

This finale is a heartbreaking episodes. For multiple reasons. To begin with, Alex was never the caring man we see in this episode. We see him broken by the behavior of Rebecca, even when he learns that she's not pregnant of his baby, he still taking care of her. Feed her, wash her, comfort her. I don't think it's really love, i think he see that like an obligation, a home-duty about the fact she was his patient for a long time. He feels for her, but it's not real love. I think he loves when someone needs him, give him some importance he never have when he was younger with his drunken dad. I love to see him like that, like an human-being, without all this jerkiness and angry behavior.

Then, about the trial of Meredith and Derek. The two young teenagers who love each other so much that they want to make love one time in case they died and have Meredith/Derek lied to the girl's parents to give them that... it's really sweet.

And all the attention of each attending (except Derek) around the cement-boy is hard to see. Bailey is the most important there and we see she never quit to save his life, she's the best they could have for Chief and Richard quit. She never abandons.

The only thing not really interesting is all the story about Lexie/George of stealing resident's document in chief's office... It's not really relevant when all the episode is about saving life and what you could do for love...

Best finale in the 4th first seasons!

mayor season finale
spooky_xime23 May 2008
Warning: Spoilers
even if i was about to cry most of the episode. i know that... something bad and obviously dramatic will happen. i mean, isn't it always like that with Grey's anatomy? the shows grow like that, even if a i want to see Meredith and mac dreamy together, its different now, all this time has passed, so we don't look at them the same and its hard for the writers to make the characters grow, the relationships grow. i bet after this, when Derek tells rose about Meredith, shes gonna be pregnant or something, i mean they did slept together, and you know, it only takes once. i like that finally Meredith passed through the dark ages, that has been like all the show really, i also like the steps the others characters are taking, like Alex, after all this time we can know more about him. after 4 seasons, there's still so much to now about them, that's what a i like about this show. Christina should have a potentially new boyfriend, love interesting. not an easy year for her. i think George i s great, also Bailey aha. its nice to feel them grow, but its alway so hard feel the relationships grow, hard to write. its a good season finale, comparing it with the others. i like the chemistry between mer/Der aha, i just would like to see Meredith happy, just that they have happily moments great moments, that we can enjoy, drama too, but that they pass together through them.

great show. and for all of us who have been gone this far, cannot stop watching it. i hope doesn't get rotten too fast.
