Previously on Grey's Anatomy!
In the Season 6 finale, Mr. Clark, the husband of a woman patient who died from a tumor and/or cancer, went on a shooting rampage across the surgical halls of Seattle Grace Hospital. You see, the couple didn't have any children, so all they had was each other. But then the woman was fighting a losing battle with cancer. Worse, she had a brain tumor which endangered life some more (as if her cancer wasn't bad enough). Which came first, the tumor or the cancer, I don't remember anymore. Dr. Derek Sheppard AKA McDreamy operated on the brain tumor a few episodes before the season finale. The operation was successful but something wrong happened during her recovery that she went into coma, with no sure indicator or even hope of coming out of it. Apparently, she signed a some legal document which states that she didn't want to stay in a coma if and when that happens. Her husband wanted to wait and hope (I mean if you were him, wouldn't you?) and not pull the plug, but the hospital was legally bound to respect the dead woman's legal instructions. So they pulled the plug.
So going back to the season finale! Haha! So Mr. Clark, in his unbearable grief over the loss of her wife and passionate anger towards the "doctors who decided" that her wife was already dead, wanted to kill these doctors. He couldn't find Derek immediately so there was a lot of collateral damage. Many people in the hospital were shot dead or were wounded. Two supporting doctor characters died and two main doctor characters were seriously wounded in that bloodbath. -- Dr. Alex Karev and well, McDreamy himself. Oh, Mandy Moore was a guest star. Haha!
Well, even as Derek's condition seemed unsure in the end, we all know he can't die because well, he is freaking McDreamy. If he dies, so will 75% of the viewers of this show. Haha!
In other developments:
*Derek's wife, Meredith apparently had a miscarriage, possibly due to all the stress they all went through that fateful day.
*Dr. Owen Hunt had to choose between Cristina and Teddy. So does Lexie, between Alex and Mark AKA McSteamy. I mean, seriously, what is with these people wanting to make such hard decisions when there's a man shooting everyone up! Haha! Well, that's part of the Grey's ironic charm. Seriously!
*Callie and Arizona kissed and made up and have decided they will want to have a baby.
*Dr. Nazi herself Miranda Bailey had a budding love life with the hospital anesthesiologist.
I say this as a true blue Grey's fan, that was one hell of a finale! Just when I thought the are-they-or-are-they-not-dead-elevator-scene ending of Season 5 featuring George Bailey and Isobel Stevens was hard to beat, Grey's Anatomy creator and showrunner Shonda Rhimes gives us this spectacular Season 6 finale. Haha!
Stuff to look forward to in the upcoming season!
*Well, Season 7 will definitely start with the aftermath of the shooting spree of Mr. Clark. How long will it take Derek to recover? Will he still be the Chief of Surgery or will Richard take back his position which he just recently let go? Who will be chosen in the various love triangles in the hospital? Haha! How will Meredith take her unfortunate miscarriage? She's been pretty matured the whole season, a far cry from the dark and twisty Meredith we met in Season 1. Will this recent infant tragedy bring her back to her dark and twisty days? So many questions! Haha!
*I've seen wedding pictures in my favorite TV blogs! But alas, I don't know which couple will tie the knot. It could be Meredith and Derek, to finally seal the deal! I mean, come on, I don't think post-it weddings are legally binding. Haha! Or it could be freaking anyone! Grey's is 100% capable of pulling off such surprises.
*Love and sex and the funny irony when both collide, haha! This is what you should always expect from a Grey's Anatomy episode. I can't believe it's been 6 years. If I were pregnant when this started, my kid would be in Grade 1 already! Haha!
Wish list
*A proper closure for Alex Karev and Isobel Stevens. Well, because the actress who plays Isobel, Katherine Heigl, suddenly left the show supposedly because she wanted to focus on her family (she and her husband adopted a baby from Vietnam last year), the fate of one of the classic couples of Grey's was left hanging. I'm hoping Heigl would at least return for one last episode to have this proper closure.
*More exposure for Avery. His character was just a recurring one in the previous season, but now that it is confirmed that he's a regular, I hope to know more about him and how his history will mesh with the rest of the cast.
*Another defying season finale for Season 7. Haha! I know, it hasn't even aired yet and here I am already talking about the finale. You see, Rhimes is known to plan the season finale first. This is what she pitches to network bosses during the TV series renewal period. All preceding episodes are written and planned with this "approved" finale in mind. Cool strategy, right? Haha! A housemate of mine and a fellow Grey's junkie were already guessing what could it be, haha! How about an airplane that crashes in the hospital parking lot or into the hospital itself?! Morbid much!
Grey's Anatomy's 7th Season will premiere September 24 (Manila Time). I don't know when StarWorld or Studio 23 will air the new episodes, sorry. Haha!
Coming up: The Good Wife, Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters, and many more!
