Grey's Anatomy Musical Episode Preview

We are almost a week away from the much talked about musical episode. "Song Beneath the Song." Tomorrow night's episode is the lead up to this much talked about event. Arizona throws Callie a baby shower and Mark, of course sticks his nose in. Everyone is invited and Mark and Arizona fight because it would seem that Mark knows Callie better than Arizona does.


   

Callie and Arizona


The episode opens with Callie narrating: "The brain is the human's body most mysterious organ. It learns. It changes. It adapts. It tells us what we see. What we hear. It lets us feel love. I think it holds our soul. But no matter how much research we do, no one can really say how all that delicate gray matter inside our skull works. And when it's hurt, when the human brain is traumatized, well... that's when it gets even more mysterious."


"Song Beneath the Song." starts where tonight's episode leaves off. The episode features most of the cast singing some of the music that has been used on the show since it began in 2005. Sara Ramirez, the actress who plays Callie Torres is the lead vocalist and what a hell of a voice this lady has. The episode is worth watching simply to witness her talent.

There are some cringe moments during the episode where you just feel like laughing, however after you have watched the episode a few times (like I did), the drama that Shonda Rhimes was trying to capture came off very well. It would have been just as effective without the musical element, however being a lover of music, and many of the songs on the show, I enjoyed it immensely. There were several moments where I was reaching for the tissue box.

There is a scene between Derek and Meredith in the elevator that I just loved. It was possibly one of the most emotional scenes I have ever watched between those two. Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) makes a cross-over appearance from Private Practice to help out; it is a brief appearance, Addison was only seen in a few scenes and I don't recall her singing either. There was no narration at the end, which might be a first in Grey's Anatomy history.


In summing up "Song Beneath the Song." It was probably one of the best episodes of the season, definitely a stand-out, traditional, emotionally charged Grey's episode. We are not far away from the end of Season 7, believe or not. Stay tuned people because all of the events in the upcoming episodes of Season 7 are leading up to the finale, which screens in about five weeks time.

Will Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey Leave Grey's Anatomy?

Is it the End for Grey's Fans?

Speculation has been rife today since the early hours of the morning about Partick Dempsey's comment to an Italian magazine regarding his contract with Grey's Anatomy.  See link below:

http://www.tvfanatic.com/2011/05/patrick-dempsey-confirms-greys-anatomy-departure/


Rep Tells E! News a Different Story


Since this news broke yesterday afternoon, Patrick Dempsey's reprsentative has been quoted as telling E! News that: "He was referring to the fact that his contract is up at the end of next season and we have no idea what the future holds," Ellen Pompeo was also quoted as saying that:
"No one has asked us to come back after season eight, so I couldn't presume that I'm coming back... if I haven't been invited," See link below:

http://www.tvfanatic.com/2011/06/will-ellen-pompeo-patrick-dempsey-really-leave-greys-anatomy/


As fans of the show many of us would all agree that Grey's Anatomy would not survive without these two talented actors and given that the show revolves around the characters of Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd, many fans believe Season 8 will be the last season of Grey's Anatomy.


Was Patrick Misquoted?


Given that this was an Italian magazine who quoted Patrick Dempsey's comment, it's possible a language barrier could be responsible for the above said misquote. Every news search has Patrick's representative denying the statement means he is leaving the show. Given the amount of press on this topic, I will be waiting with bated breath for a statement from the actors themselves on whether they plan to renew their contracts if a Season 9 is picked up by the ABC network in the US next year.

Ellen Also Rumoured to be Leaving Grey's


There have been rumours flying about for months that Ellen Pompeo was calling it quits after Season 8. However, nothing has been officially confirmed and her recent quote above tells us nothing. The future is unknown at the moment. It's hard not to speculate given Ellen and Patrick's contracts' are up at the end of Season 8, however every actor on the show is in the same boat and the shows creators and executives would not know whether Grey's has a future past Season 8 at this time.


If Patrick and Ellen do decide to leave, will the show survive without them?

What are your thoughts? Please comment below.

As We Know It - Classic Greys Anatomy Part II

Season 2 Episode 17 - Meredith is the Girl with the Bomb


This episode and the preceding one was up there as one of the best Grey's episodes. Edge of the seat drama throughout the entire sequence of events.


Meredith narrating: "In hospitals they say you know. You know when you're going to die. Some doctors say it's a look patients get in their eyes. Some say there's a scent, a smell of death. Some think there's just some kind of sixth sense. When the great beyond is heading for you, you feel it coming. Whatever it is, it's creepy. Because if you know, what do you do about it? Forget about the fact that you're scared out of your mind. If you knew this was your last day on earth, how would you want to spend it?"


The episode opens with a recap of last weeks episode. We see Meredith standing over the patient with her hand in his chest. Dylan and the bomb squad are strapping a special vest over her torso and she feeling slightly freaked out and says to Christina: "I told you," referring to their conversation of that morning when Christina kicked her out of bed. She turns her attention to Dylan and says; "You have a plan, right?"  "You're gonna get me out of this." He doesn't answer her.






Burke orders Christina to leave the room

Burke takes over ventillating the patient and orders Christina out of the room. He tells her he cannot do what he has to do with her there. She leaves and heads back to Derek's OR. Derek asks Christina how the girl with the bomb is and Christina blurts out that Meredith is the girl with the bomb. At that split second Bailey's husband Tucker goes into cardiac arrest. Derek works like crazy to get his heart started again and continues on with the surgery, Christina looks outside and see the bomb squad and Meredith moving the gurney. Christina runs out to see what's going on, and Dylan yells at her to get hell the away. Meredith explains that they are moving to an OR further away from the oxygen lines in case they blow up. She then asks Christina to distract her, as she is really freaked and dying to pee.


Meanwhile Bailey is in hard labour and refusing to push, Addison takes care of her and at the same time warns the Chief that he may have to find her an OR soon or Bailey's and the baby's life could be in serious danger. This was a different side of Bailey that we have not seen before. We're so used to seeing Bailey as a very strong and capable person. We see Bailey as vulnerable and not at all in control, which is exactly how it is during childbirth. George eventually convinces Bailey to give birth.





George helps Bailey.


Alex and Izzie; frustrated because it seems like there is nothing they can do to help the situation, sneak off and have sex in the linen closet. They are need however, when the Chief under a huge amount of stress and pressure has an severe anxiety attack. Adele; the Chief's wife orders her husband back to bed and tells Izzie and Alex that they can talk to her about the Chief medical situation.


When Dylan tells Meredith it's time to remove her hand, she starts to freak a little. Dylan tells her to imagine that he is someone she likes if it will help her to do what she needs to do. Meredith pictures Derek in her mind standing there saying "You can do this, it will be over in a second." She slowly wraps her hand around the nose-cone of the bomb and holding it level (as per Dylan's instructions) she removes her hand and the bomb and gently places it in Dylan's hands.





Meredith momentarily hesitates as she is about to remove the bomb.


The song "Breathe" by Anna Nalik plays in the background. Meredith watches Dylan slowly turn and walk out of the OR, Meredith slowly walks to the door to thank him and just as we are all catching our breath, the bomb explodes; killing Dylan and another member of the bomb squad. Meredith is propelled backwards and knocked unconscious. That scene right there made me nearly jump out of my skin; I was not expecting it.


While the rest of the hospital wait for the doctors to return from the OR floor. Christina and Izzie (fully clothed) take Meredith into the shower and clean the blood from her face and hair. George is standing inside the door watching, it's a far, far away from the dream George had that morning. Meanwhile Derek is pacing the floor looking for Meredith, yelling at everyone "Where is she?" We all know he's looking for Meredith. However the others think it is Addison he's looking for. When Addison runs over and hugs Derek; Adele Webber notices the look on Derek's face and she whispers to the Chief that Addison was not the she Derek was asking for. 


Later that evening Derek pays Meredith a visit; he tells her he's glad that she didn't die. The love between them is still very much alive. Meredith asks him about their last kiss, she is upset that she cannot remember it. Derek reminds her, by explaining the entire moment, right down to remembering the smell of her hair. It was a touching scene. Meredith tells him the scent was lavender.


The episode closes with Meredith narrating: "If you knew this was your last day on earth, how would you want to spend it?"

It's The End of the World - Classic Greys Anatomy Part I

Season 2 Episode 16 - A Bomb in a Patients Body

MEREDITH: [narrating] "It’s a look patients get in their eyes. Some kind of sixth sense, when the great beyond is headed for you, you feel it coming. What's the one thing you’ve always dreamed of doing before you died?"

Part one of a two part episode. This was a first for Grey's Anatomy. The episode opens with George dreaming about Meredith, Izzie and Christina; naked in the shower. George wakes up, and promptly falls out out of bed and at the same time Meredith says (narrating) "Clearly not my dream!" Izzie and George are ready for work and waiting for Meredith who has refused to get out of bed; saying that she has a feeling, a feelilng that she might die. They end up calling Cristina, who comes over and after a conversation with Meredith about Addison having her Mclife, and her feeling that she might die, Cristina physically kicks Meredith's ass out of bed with the words: "Whatever. Everybody has problems. Get your ass out of bed and get to work. NOW! Move, move, move!"



Meredith's fear that she was about to have a bad day was soon confirmed. She is standing in the ER when Derek asks "What's wrong?" She tells him "I have a feeling." He thinks about this for a second and says "I have those." Meredith asks him what to do about it, and Derek says. "Wait for it to pass." But from the look on Meredith's face her feeling is not going to pass any time soon.


A patient with an unexploded bomb in his chest arrives in the ER. A young paramedic; Hannah has her hand in his chest, essentially stopping him from bleeding out. Dr Burke takes him up to surgery, unaware that there is a bomb in the guy's chest. When Alex questions the patient's wife and best friend, he realises that the ammunition did not explode and an unexploded bazooka bomb is in this patients body. Alex runs like hell to the OR. He informs Burke, who declares a Code Black.





Hannah, the paramedic - Played by Christine Ricci



Meanwhile Bailey arrives outside the ER and asks George to page Addison Shepherd, then her water breaks all over Georges shoes. She is rushed to maternity, just as her husband, Tucker is brought in to the ER, having crashed his car on the way to the hospital. It's a severe head injury and Shepherd is paged, and rushes him to the OR for emergency brain-surgery.


Seattle Grace goes into Code Black status and the Chief orders the entire OR floor be evacuated and the bomb squad are called in. Bailey is calling her husband and has George running everywhere looking for him. When he does learn the truth and tells Addison, she tries to keep the news from Bailey, however Bailey figures out that something is wrong and drags the truth out of Addison.





Izzie, George and Addison in the Elevator. "It's Bad." Addison says, "Go to your locker room and wait for instructions from your resident."


When told to evacuate by Dylan; the hunky bomb squad expert and the Chief; Derek refuses to leave the OR as he does not want to just let Bailey's husband die on the table. He tells everyone in his OR that they should all evacuate. Everyone leaves except one scrub-nurse, the anesthesiologist and Cristina. Derek tells Dylan: "The chief does not scare me, Dr Bailey scares me."


Bailey decides she is going home, and having the baby tomorrow, much to George and Addison's horror. She starts packing her suitcase telling George he needs to drive her home. He tells her he can't do that and Bailey keeps pacing around saying that she will have the baby tomorrow.


In the OR where the patient with bomb is, Dr Miller, the anesthesiologist deserts Hannah, telling her to squeeze to ventilation bag in even beats. He leaves her alone with an unconscious patient and a bomb. Meredith and Christina peek in the window and realise that Hannah is all alone and freaking out. Meredith rushes over to her side; just as Burke and the bomb guy enter the room. Meredith tries to calm Hannah down but it's no use; Hannah panics, removes her hand and runs out of the OR. Everyone hits the deck except Meredith who puts her hand inside the patient's chest, and holds the bomb.



            


Christina and Burke hit the deck  


The episode ends with Meredith standing over the patient's body saying, "What did I do, what did I do, what did I do, what did I do?" and the screen fades to black. There is no closing narration, which was possibly a first for Grey's Anatomy too.
