I was so happy that the truth finally came out to everyone about Izzie’s illness. I was sick of her not coming clean, especially to Alex. Cristina tries to convince Izzie to start treatment, and to let everyone know, but she refuses. So when Cristina tells Alex and Bailey before surgery, so matter of fact and then asking for a scalpel, right there among the industrial clamps, surgery equipment, and all the nurses, was so classic Yang. Even though it was a sad moment, I still loved it.

As for the rest of the show, it was just average. There was silly intern drama, which I didn’t care about, but I loved how Grey handled it. “You go get your arm fixed, you go clean yourself up, and you, get to OB because yes, you are pregnant.” She was like Bailey in that moment, and she nailed it. 

Meanwhile Bailey tries getting Callie and Hunt to go get Derek to come back to work. He just manages to make them depressed and start drinking too, but when the chief comes, it seems to have some effect on him. Still, it takes Meredith coming back, and telling him that she needs him to help Izzie for him to finally get up off his butt and look at her xrays. 

I’m curious about how the writers are going to handle Izzie’s illness. Is Derek going to perform a life saving one in a million chance of survival surgery on her? Or are they going to kill her off? It doesn’t seem likely that they would kill her at this point. She’s bringing ratings back to the show, and they’ve given her substance once again. I just hope the rest of the characters show a little more sadness.
When Meredith was dying from almost drowning, everyone was in tears, and the episode was incredible. So far not one tear has been shed for Izzie. If they let her leave the show that way, I’m going to be pissed. But also, if they let her die, I think the show would be over.

She’s an integral part, and they need to keep her on until the show is over. Which, if I were the writer, I’d finish the show up next year. It’s a great show, but it’s gone so far downhill since the first and second season, and I don’t see it ever coming back. Better to finish off the series while there’s still some dignity, instead of letting it turn into something like ER became. I will say that this season has been far better than the last two years though, and if they keep it up, then there may be a few more seasons left in them, provided none of the main characters call it quits.

Did I call it or did I call it? They might not be killing her off, but she is sick. “I’m here for you Izzie Stevens” Denny says. You’d think she would have put that together sooner. Tonight’s episode was a pretty good one; they wrapped up the storyline of Grey feeling sorry for the killer. They finally, finally patch things up between Yang and Grey, which is about time. I was beginning to get really sick of their dumb girlfight. See, this is why I don’t have that many girlfriends? They’re such DRAMA. Course that is why we watch the show isn’t it? And then of course they finally tell us that yes, Izzie is sick, and Denny is not a ghost.
So I’m looking forward to what this week has in store for us. I’m wondering if Izzie is going to have a brain tumor or cancer? Or maybe some sort of heart problem, wouldn’t that be ironic?

I’ve had this discussion with my good friend LM and were discussing where the writers are taking the Izzie and Denny storyline. Is he simply a vision because she’s scared to move on with Alex? Or, like LM and I think-is she dying and Denny is there to help her cross over?

There are rumors that the actress who plays Izzie, Katherine Heigl, has wanted to leave the show for some time now.  I’m not sure if they are true or not, but it’s definitely suspicious. She’s great on the show, and I for one do not want to see her go. At the same time, I think the writing for Grey’s went through a really bad dry spell, specifically with the Izzie/George relationship. What the heck was that? It was awful! But this season I feel that the show has really redeemed itself. I love the mystery surrounding Denny’s reappearance, and Izzie’s sudden eratic behavior. I also love the character development going on with Alex. He’s become a great man, and if they don’t kill Izzie, I hope her and Alex do the happily ever after dance.

I guess we’ll just see what the writers have in store for us. I will admit Grey’s Anatomy isn’t nearly as great as it was when it first came onto the scene, but I think they have a great cast, and have potential to be an amazing show. I’m definitely hooked and I can’t wait to watch tonight’s episode!
