HOLY EFFING CRAP
WHAT THE HELL, GREY'S ANATOMY
Okay, so, brief summary of season finale:
first half has izzie contemplating a very risky brain surgery on the new tumor. asking everyone for advice, etc. a case is brought in, army guy, nineteen (my age, holy crap) whose leg got busted up and now he wants it amputated because he thinks he can be more functional with a prosthetic than with his painful real leg. after much wavering back and forth, callie finally agrees to cut it off. bailey is playing with a shiny new robot surgical toy, despite arizona's efforts to get her in on a pedes surgery. at the end of the episode, christina takes owen home to see his mother for the first time since getting back from iraq, and george enlists (first wtf).
but it gets better.
second half. george tells bailey he's enlisting, going to do one more surgery with the chief, then heading off the next day. izzie wakes up from her surgery, with short term memory problems (like that woman in the season premiere). alex is kind of an ass (well, he's alex), but he's helping her with that. the cast members plan an intervention for george when he finishes his current surgery. meredith and derek are going to city hall. ambulances come up, with a man who got hit by a bus pushing a woman out of the way. man is very very messed up, facial trauma making him unrecognizable (like alex's jane doe pregnant lady girlfriend from a couple seasons back). arizona is the only person happy about george enlisting, as we find out around this time, since her brother died in iraq and if there were more doctors he might not have. derek and meredith decide they don't have time to go to city hall today, so they write their vows on a post-it note christina gave meredith earlier. the vows are to always love each other even when they hate each other, and to take care of each other when they get old and senile and stinky. they hug, derek goes to check on izzie, meredith goes to check on john doe. john doe was trying to communicate something in writing earlier, but couldn't hold the pen. bailey goes to talk to the chief--she's gotten the pedes fellowship, but her husband said if she took it ,he'd divorce her. she decided to divorce him anyway--'if a marriage has come to ultimatums, it's not much of a marriage anymore'--but she's going to be a single mom now so she can't handle the schedule of switching specialties and two more years of training. someone--i think owen--comes in to get bailey for the intervention they've planned for george, to talk him out of joining the army. the chief says george didn't actually scrub in with him, he let him go that morning to spend the day with his mom, since he was leaving so soon.
yeah, you can totally tell where this is going.
cut to meredith and john doe, who is trying to communicate again, tracing letters on her hand. 0 0 7. one of george's many nicknames.
congratulations, grey's anatomy. you have managed a SUCCESSFUL MINDFUCK.
meanwhile, izzie--who finally started to remember things--crashes, and the episode ends with alternating trying to revive george and izzie, and izzie in her prom dress from the night denny died getting on the elevator, and it stops, and george is waiting outside it in a military uniform.
WTF GREY'S ANATOMY DID YOU JUST KILL OFF TWO OF YOUR REGULARS?
WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK.
