MEREDITH: [narrating] "Like I said, disappearances happen. Pains go phantom. Blood stops running and people, people fade away. There's more I have to say, so much more, but... I disappeared."
The 3rd part of the three part episode of Grey's Anatomy was last night. Braeden and I have been waiting for this since 10:00 p.m. last Thursday when the 2nd part ended.
As you know Meredith drowned and we were left not knowing if she would be saved. Her body temperature was 80 degrees since the water had been so cold. The hope was that her heart would start beating again if they could warm her body.
**If you haven't watching the episode yet and you plan to then stop reading.**
Well, in this episode nearly three quarters of it is happening in Meredith's head or rather in her limbo. She talks with people she has known that have died. And it is Denny and her Mother who help her to see she has to fight and she has to live.
Denny says that in the afterlife he doesn't get to be with Izzie. Sometimes he knows she can sense him and in those moments he can almost hear her voice. But he explains it is just a moment and then it is gone. The entire explanation was just so heartbreaking. "We take our miracles where we find them, we reach around the gap, and some times... against all odd, against all logic, we touch." As Meredith is narrating you see Denny (sort of glowing since he is just a spirit now) and Izzie..she stops in the hall and closes her eyes, she can feel his presence and then she walks away. I was already crying at this point, but I lost complete control when I saw that happen.
Anyway...Cristina is Meredith's best friend..."her person" and she did such a great job acting last night, depicting her grief and her anger.
Derek did a great job as well, as he was Meredith's boyfriend. The part when Denny says "Derek is an optimist, he believes you are his soul mate, and if you don't go back, you will change who he is."
So what happened?
Well. Meredith's mother had been a source of conflict in life. And in the limbo period she hugs Meredith and she says "You are anything but ordinary." Which was all Meredith ever needed to hear from her Mom. Then her Mom tells her to run, and you see Meredith running knowing that is the point where she is deciding she wants to live.
In the hospital room everyone is trying to get her heart pumping. Cristina screams to do it ONE MORE TIME and they do....and it works. It was all very moving.
The ending scene was Derek laying in the hospital bed with Meredith and holding her, just happy that she is alive. I love their kind of love!
