Grey's Anatomy Spoilers (Page 9)

With all the talk about Izzie, George, Meredith and Derek in the Grey's Anatomy season finale, Mark and Lexie flew under the radar. What's their status heading into next season?

A Grey's Anatomy fan wondered just that and wrote to TV Guide's weekly spoiler Q&A seeking clarification. Here's the Lark inquiry and the magazine editors' response ...

Q: How did the Grey's finale end on a "high note" for Mark and Lexie (as teased in Chyler Leigh's Q&A)? There was no moving in together or saying "I love you."

They are in limbo, just like George and Izzie.

A: I think / happen to know that you interpreted their final moment incorrectly.

Mark and Lexie are on the same page - they both want to be together - they are just mired in a miscommunication about the ideal timetable. Mark's declaration that's he's buying a house wasn't him waving off his lady; he was just taking Arizona's advice and moving forward.

Hopefully Lexie will continue to be in it.

Was that really Meredith and Derek's wedding last night? Is Arizona Robbins sticking around Seattle Grace? Will Izzie and/or "John Doe" a.k.a. George survive?

All these burning questions linger after last night's season finale (see our recaps of Part I and Part II). Fortunately, Shonda Rhimes is providing some answers.

Some answers.

The Grey's Anatomy creator and executive producer spoke to Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly about all these issues and much more, including the "ghost sex" controversy, Katherine Heigl's Emmy chances, and T.R. Knight's alleged unhappiness.

Here's the text of EW's interview with Shonda ...

EW: Rumors have been swirling all year that Katherine and TR wanted off the show. The season ends with both their characters' lives hanging in the balance. Purely coincidental?

Shonda Rhimes: I don't think there are any coincidences. I think Katherine's stated publicly that she's happy to stay. I think that there have been lots of rumors about T.R., but T.R.'s never said anything. Take from it what you will.

EW: This kind of cliffhanger almost seems tailor-made to capitalize on some of those headlines and generate buzz.

Shonda Rhimes: You have to remember, I have two shows. It's not as if I spend a lot of time reading the press. We talk about stuff in the writers' room that other people have read, but, mostly, we were really moving on character. Every year at the beginning of the season I pitch what the end of the season is going to be. And I literally sat down and pitched the last 10 minutes of this season at the beginning of the season, so we were headed towards the place that we knew we were going to go.

EW: Do you know which one of them lives and which one of them dies?

Shonda Rhimes: Yes. And I don't know that you should be saying "which one of them lives and which one of them dies." I know what happens to the characters.

In the sneak preview of the season finale below, Izzie Stevens has quite the decision to make - go through with a risky surgery that could strip her of her memory but may remove her brain tumor, or ride it out and most likely pass away within a few months.

It's not an easy call, as you can see:

Follow the jump for six - six! - more season finale clips, in which Izzie and Alex both seek help in making this choice, Mark asks Lexie to move in with him (and is sort of shot down), Cristina asks Owen about therapy and Zach Gilford of Friday Night Lights shows up as a patient ...

With all the attention paid to whether or not Izzie will pass away tomorrow night, another major question has been more or less overlooked: Does this week's fifth season finale mark the final episode for another beloved character, Dr. George O'Malley?

Here's what TV Guide has to say in its spoiler chat ...

Q: What can you spill about the two-hour Grey's Anatomy season finale? Are we definitely saying goodbye to George and T.R. Knight?

A: Yes, there are rumors swirling that the finale not only paves the way for George's departure from Seattle Grace, but perhaps also his exit from this plane of existence as well.

I presented said scuttlebutt to Chyler Leigh (who plays Lexie), and asked if she feels she's shared the Grey's Anatomy set with Knight a final time. "Not that I know of," she said. "I'm not even sure T.R. knows [what the future holds]. I don't think anybody knows what's going to happen."

Well, nobody except Shonda Rhimes, that is.

Below is the gallery of promotional photos released by ABC in preparation for tomorrow night's two-part season finale, which is technically classified as two separate episodes, "Here's to the Future" and "Now or Never." Click to enlarge the images below ...

She had a healthy baby girl last week, but Grey's Anatomy star Chyler Leigh is still ready and willing to do interviews this week in advance of Thursday's climactic finale. What a trooper!

Here's Chyler's Q&A with E! Online, from this afternoon ...

Q: Things with Meredith and Lexie seem to be going strong. Do you expect that to continue?

A: There was that kind of desperation, a puppy-dog quality, at first. Lexie has such a great family dynamic that it's like, "Of course, why wouldn't you want to be my sister?"

But for Meredith, Lexie coming in like that - it was like a record scratch. But as far as I know, the relationship between the sisters continues to get better. Lexie's been growing a lot, and I think there will be more of the mutual respect between the two of them.

Q: Is Lexie at peace with Thatcher now, following his 12-step amends-making?

A: Lexie and her dad have such a great bond anyway that the apology was a much bigger deal to Lexie than to Meredith. Meredith was more like "too little, too late." As far as Lexie goes, for Thatcher to come in and have an apology made a really big difference.

Q: How would you compare and contrast Lexie's infatuation with George earlier in the year with her feelings with for Mark Sloan now?

With all the attention paid to Derek and Meredith, what about the other Grey sister and her hot attending? Here's a little excerpt from E! Online's newest spoiler Q&A ...

Q: Are Mark and Lexie ever going to get good screen time on Grey's Anatomy? Because they have had very few scenes together ever since they actually got together.

A: Chyler Leigh, who just had her third child Friday (congratulations again!), says that yes, definitely, there will be plenty more Mark and Lexie goodness in Season Six.

Check out what the 27-year-old actress had to say about Lexie's relationship with Mark, as well as many other hot Grey's Anatomy topics in this cool interview below ...

Thursday night, the fifth season of Grey's Anatomy concludes with a two-hour finale, officially listed as two separate episodes, "Here's to the Future" and "Now or Never."

Below is a minute-long promo for the gripping finale, in which so much - Izzie's fate, George's future, the MerDer wedding, and a lot more - is hanging in the balance ...

Follow the jump for the 30-second version which aired after last week's episode, "What a Difference a Day Makes." Looks like a heck of a finale in store for us Thursday ...

Derek and Meredith's decision to postpone their dream wedding ceremony and instead give it to their ailing friend who planned it, Izzie Stevens, was selfless and wonderful.

But as emotional and poignant as the conclusion of "What a Difference a Day Makes" was, it does beg the follow-up question: Will MerDer still tie the knot, and when?

According to their wedding website on The Knot (check it out if you haven't before), it's all good - the big day has simply been moved back a week to Thursday, May 14!

A screen cap of the site showing the revised wedding date (and a cute picture of the couple!) appears below. So cross your fingers for MerDer season finale nuptials!

What does the future hold for Owen and Cristina?

Asked if he would elaborate further on what curveball will be coming Owenstina's way on Grey's Anatomy, as he has previously teased, Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello only divulged in today's new Q&A that it is not a pregnancy that the two must confront next.

So scratch that off the list, but we're basically still at square one otherwise.

Any guesses on what's next for this Grey's Anatomy couple, who provided one of the most heartbreaking scenes in recent memory at the end of last week's episode?
