This week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy was just beautiful. Strong. Happy. Sad. One of a kind. So much insight into Meredith’s life. A step forward in Izzy’s cancer battle (and another scare ahead?). The episode was just really deep and if you didn’t get it then, you need to get into Grey-vision ASAP. When the pieces come together, it really is a great show.

But seriously. What’s going on with Izzy? I guess this is going to go into the season finale. I’m getting nervous. Please don’t kill Izzy. And if you are going to kill Izzy, think about the consequences. It seems like a lose-lose situation really. If you keep Izzy on, you’re potentially sending out a false message of hope to similar people in such a serious situation. If you kill Izzy off, you’re sending out a very real message to the world. Cancer is serious. But you’d also be killing off one of your original characters (I don’t think that has ever done a show good…in my eyes).

There’s good and bad to both situations. But honestly I prefer to bring out the fighter in Izzy. The right thing to do is fight. Don’t give up. Don’t let Izzy give up. Fight. Seriously.

I’m about to talk about this week’s Grey’s Anatomy. Spoilers ahead (only if you aren‘t caught up).

I put off watching Grey’s Anatomy this week for an entire day because I thought the episode was just going to kill me. Glad I finally watched it. Even though the episode was a lot more positive than I thought it would be, man, so much shit went down in this episode. First thing’s first, I’m surprised the episode was able to focus on anything but Izzy’s melastatic melanoma (Izzy’s stage 4 cancer). Like Christina and Owen…WTF. That scene where Christina was being choked was absolutely horrifying. While I’m looking forward to see that whole thing unfold, I’m glad that Christina [from what it seems] chose herself. Very twisty Grey’s moment. Derek and Meredith? I’m glad those two are moving forward and the elevator love letter was definitely cute. One thing though. Do the Grey’s writers think that putting Izzy as a notch in Derek/Meredith’s love story is an acceptable excuse for killing her? It is most absolutely not acceptable. You don’t get off that easy. Anything else happen worth noting? Lesbians dancing. George is upset (and to some extent I think we’d all be mad if our best friend didn’t tell us that they had cancer). Callie praying for Izzy to die? That caught me off guard…what a bitch. Speaking of bitches, that ecologist has got to go. While she’s just being detached, she doesn’t have to be one of those insensitive doctors (but it looks like Christina/Bailey are watch-dogging her..so that’s good..I was so happy when Bailey and Derek dissed the encologist during Izzy’s surgery…ZING).

Okay now to the more important stuff: Izzy. Alex. Izzy and Alex. Just sad. For anyone that thinks Izzy is cured, she’s not yet. The procedure she had (that Derek pulled off, which he definitely needed) was just one of many that Izzy needs. It also sounded like there’s more trouble ahead (the news that the ecologist gave Christina right before Izzy’s surgery with Derek). Every time I see Izzy on the screen, I wonder what the show would be like without her (and can’t). I am really glad that there’s some positivity in moving forward with treatment (who else thought Izzy was going to make the surgery when they showed Derek practicing? I did), but there’s so much more ahead. There are so many opportunities for something bad to happen. I really want the best, but with all the Katherine Heigl departure buzz, you have to prepare for the worst. Alex’s “it’s not supposed to happen like this” speech? Perfect. Love when this dude open’s up. The writers have been pretty selective about Alex’s sensitive side and this is definitely a good a time as any. It’s sad TV, but great TV at that. Actually. It’s really sad TV, but great. Does anyone else totally see Izzy babies in the future (whether Izzy is around or not)? WTF did no one visit Izzy while she just knitting away? What was that about? I got so nervous when none of them got to see Izzy go in before surgery. I just want to keep hearing great news about Izzy in the episodes to come. Stay positive. Regardless, it looks like season 5 of Grey’s Anatomy will be one to remember. Izzy love <3

So there is no new episode next week(s) (of course!) As soon as I know when the next episode is, you know I’ll post it. Can’t find the date anywhere (TVGuide, my Tivo, ABC, you name it). Stay tuned for that date. I know I will.

Basically this episode was amazing from beginning to end. The video below is a great re-cap of what went down:

Spoilers ahead. You’ve been warned.

Tonight’s Grey’s Anatomy made me really upset. I think it’s going to be really sad if one of the main characters of this show dies. Question. Is she is being killed off or is she dying on the show? Does anyone else understand the subtle difference between the two? What a horrible way for someone to leave the show. For all that it’s worth, I really hope Katherine Heigl does not leave Grey’s Anatomy. Seriously? Seriously? (Look I did that whole Grey’s seriously inside joke…anyone remember?). The fact that Derek is getting involved with Izzy’s possible treatment…timeless. I am so excited for next Thursday. Damn… this show has got me hooked. Next week’s episode preview was such a tease. It seems like everything is happening so fast. Please keep Izzy a part of this show for as long as possible. Don’t do this to the fans. Sigh.

Warning: I am about to talk about this week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Spoilers ahead. You’ve been warned.

This week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy was pretty damn revealing (and I loved it). As upset as Izzy’s storyline is making me, I am loving the way it is unfolding. In case you’re behind, Izzy has officially been diagnosed (after originally being misdiagnosed by an intern) with a fatal skin cancer (metastatic melanoma) that is quickly spreading to her brain. It also only has a 5% survival rate. It basically looks like Izzy (Katherine Heigl) is not going to make it past this season (aka another cast departure). I wish it wasn’t this way but maybe it’s best for the show. Or maybe Grey’s time is coming to an end… I mean how many original cast depatures can fans really put up with? 1. 2. 3rd time may not be the charm. I hope there’s hope for Izzy. It would be really interesting to see her fight this. I absolutely loved that Izzy chose to tell Christina, of all people, first. That ending scene in that generator-air-blowing room (what the hell is that room even called?) was beautiful. Loved it.

As for Derek and Meredith drama…although it’s definitely “been there done that” I am intrigued. Looks like the tables have turned and it’s Meredith’s time to fight for the relationship. Other tidbit comments: Callie’s lesbo storyline is kind of boring me. The chief is a little brat. Christina and the red head might be interesting. George is kind of useless lately. Bailey…blah. All eyes on Izzy.

I don’t think next week’s episode is new. How annoying. Keep me coming back for more Grey’s. Please.
