• Confirmed: Grey's Anatomy to Return April 24 (2/21/2008)

  I've been a true Grey's watcher since the first episode. If I were one of the writers this is the direction I'd take the show: We were left with Derek and Meredith ending their "go around" but getting "no place" relationship and Derek asking Rose to dinner. Derek thinks he knows what he wants but does he? One day he's kissing a scrub nurse the next day he's wanting to build a dream home for Meredith. He wants Meredith he always has. His knee jerk reactions to things are coming out of a place of frustation. I think this is what Meredith and Derek both need at the moment. They need to be apart and realize what's at stake. In order to be truly happy together, they need to bring about clarity into their lives. Meredith begins serious therapy to overcome her issues and misses Derek terribly. She is longing for him and does her best to put on a brave face and numb her pain. They have awkward moments but the feelings are still there. Derek will start to date Rose but she is a substitute for Meredith. He's trying like heck to get over her. He really wants to move on, but he won't be able to and Rose will start to see that. It will become especially evident when Meredith walks into Joe's with Mark Sloan and sits down and has a drink with him. She's laughing and having fun and she's enjoying Mark's company. We are all assuming at this point that Mark is just being a lame friend and wants to sleep with Meredith. In other words "he's just being Mark." But is he? Derek is there and becomes annoyed in front of Rose. Derek becomes increasingly annoyed and approaches Mark and words are exchanged. Derek pointing out that he should have never let him back in his life and that he's still a snake. Mean while Meredith gets up and leaves the bar and goes home. Then Mark says to Derek, in a very dry manner, "Did it ever occur to you that maybe I am your friend?" (Meaning he was trying to get a reaction out of Derek on purpose, so that Rose would see his true feelings for Meredith and move along. And, the thing with Addison, Mark knew all along that Derek never truly loved Addison.) As Rose witnesses this reaction from Derek, Rose will turn to Derek and say, like I said, "Everyone knows about you and Meredith Grey." She will be mature about it, but let Derek go back to where his heart belongs. Derek rushes over to Meredith's house and finds her sobbing on the sofa all alone. This is the first time he sees her crying and being emotional. She finally opens up to him and tells him her true feelings. She tells him how her father abandoning her has always made her feel undeserving of love. She tells Derek how therapy has helped her move past those issues. She tells Derek that she truly loves him and wants to be with him completely. Derek also realizes that Mark Sloan may have a funny way of showing it, but is indeed his friend.
