Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly has some quality Grey's Anatomy spoilers and gossip in his weekly Q&A today. Give this a read and then comment away ...

Q: Is there any news as to whether Jessica Capshaw will be back on Grey's Anatomy next season?

A: Not only will she be back, she's finalizing a deal to become a full-fledged series regular! Holla if you're a lesbian!

Q: Will Meredith and Thatcher finally resolve their issues on Grey's Anatomy?

A: Not exactly. She, will, however reach a new understanding with the Chief. She even gives him a gift. A pretty major gift. A gift I have a hunch will play a big role next season (if the story is going where I think it's going).

Q: Can you give me some Grey's Anatomy scoop about Mer-Der? I'm tired of hearing about Izzie!

A: You're in luck! Sharon Lawrence, who guest stars this week as Izzie's trailer-trash mom, had some interesting things to say about working alongside Katherine Heigl...

As if Izzie's cancer, Mer and Der's wedding and George actually getting a storyline weren't enough for the season finale of Grey's Anatomy, Chandra Wilson says there is still a medical disaster that will call for all hands on deck at Seattle Grace.

At the Prism Awards this weekend, Chandra teased the life-changing finale, painting a picture of what could well to be the most thrilling Grey's Anatomy season-ender yet.

"In [the finale], we do ultimately find out what [happens with] George - he has to make a very big decision. Izzie has a lot of medical [issues] in that episode," she said.

"And then, of course, we have our normal ER catastrophe that goes on. It's got to be something bad going on where all the doctors have to assemble. That much I know."

Speaking of George's big decision, there's a rumor he ends up as a trauma surgeon in the army, following in Owen Hunt's footsteps. "Is that right? That's coming up too? Lord, I need to read the script that you're reading!" jokes Chandra Wilson.

While she is tight-lipped on the rest of the season, she says Bailey is prepared to continue with pediatric surgery despite the ramifications it has for her marriage:

"Everything that I'm doing right now is still working with the kids; it's still trying to potentially go into that fellowship. I do know that my husband is not happy about that. But when you get a calling, sometimes you have to do your calling."

How will the return of Thatcher Grey (Jeff Perry) in this week's episode play out for Meredith and Lexie, who just endured the feuding of their significant others last week?

Check out this excerpt from TV Guide's spoiler Q&A today and see what you think ...

Q: I adored all of the "McFamily" scenes last week on Grey's Anatomy. What's next for Mark, Lexie, Meredith and Derek?

A: For Mark and Lexie, much cuteness is on the immediate horizon. I mean, as much as Thatcher Grey makes my skin crawl, the way things play out when he returns is better than I expected.

For Mer and Der, there's the none-too-small matter of a stern ultimatum coming from the bride. As that gets sorted out, the would-be marrieds will find cause to fast-track their wedding, so get to updating that website, Izzie!

As teased in yesterday's promo, Seattle Grace admits a patient unlike any it has seen before this week - a victim of a shooting, perpetrated by a small child. That's a new one for sure.

Will George step up to the plate? How will the case spark a feud between Mer and the Chief? Take a look at this preview of "No Good at Saying Sorry" and tell us what you think:

Below are some Grey's Anatomy spoilers from E! Online's weekly Q&A this morning. Here's the latest on how Izzie's doing - at least according to her mom - and what's going down between Meredith and the Chief. Spoiler alert: it could get ugly!

Q: How's Izzie doing on Grey's Anatomy?

A: Sharon Lawrence makes her debut as Izzie's mother this week, and according to Izzie's mother's psychic, Izzie is going to be just fine. You will be shocked to learn Izzie's mother's psychic is not reliable, and in point of fact, Izzie's cancer is getting worse, not better.

Q: Any scoop for this week's episode of Grey's Anatomy?

A: Meredith steps over the line with a patient this week, and that causes the fight of the century between her and the Chief. She also un-invites him from the wedding!

On a side note, if you haven't seen it, you can check out Mer and Der's official wedding website if you are looking for more details about the special day.

Below is a promo for this Thursday's all-new episode of Grey's Anatomy, "No Good at Saying Sorry (One More Chance)." It's the 21st episode of the current fifth season.

Check out our photo gallery from the episode for more of an idea of what's to come, then take a look at the clip below and comment away. Sneak peeks still to come!

Grey's Anatomy star and expectant mom Ellen Pompeo, who announced she is pregnant a week ago, brought along some adorable company - pet poodles Valentino and Gigi - while visiting a friend of hers in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday afternoon.

She sure makes a cute pregnant person ...

Ellen Pompeo is carrying three adorable creatures!

No word on how Pompeo's pregnancy will fit into the Grey's Anatomy universe. Will Meredith Grey become pregnant also? Will Ellen take a leave of absence? Will the producers use camera tricks or other disguises / approaches to disguise it until she gives birth?

That appears to be their approach with pregnant co-star Chyler Leigh, whose character, Lexie, was nervously stuffing her face with food at every opportunity last night!

Mr. Torres: I'm Callie's father.
Callie: I'm a lesbian.
Arizona: I'm a southwestern state!

Drama. Sadness. Heartbreak. Life-changing decisions. Even a little humor.

Last night's episode was a bit of a metaphor for life, Grey's Anatomy style.

From Hunt trying to exorcise his demons, to George overcoming Alex's taunts and shining again, to Izzie's fight to stay alive, Bailey thriving in peds, Callie being forced to defy her dad, and the evolution of the Derek-Mark-Lexie-Meredith relationships, last night had it all.

And it was wonderful.

Bailey thrived once again in her new role in peds, while Callie made the difficult - but correct - decision to live her own life and cut ties with her overbearing, disapproving father.
