(S06E24) The violent content continues with hour two of the big 'Grey's Anatomy' season finale. Did anyone notice that Mr. Clark's goal was to shoot Lexie, Derek, and Webber and all three managed to survive? Not much of a successful killer. The biggest thing that really annoyed me about the episode was that there were several incidents where a doctor could have stopped the whole thing, the biggest instance was when Callie handed Mr. Clark the gauze bandages.

Also disappointing was the one SWAT member that shot Mr. Clark and somehow Mr. Clark managed to walk away. While there were many unrealistic moments, the finale was one of the strongest since the Denny story.

Shonda Rimes has mentioned how she had a rule about the main characters not having children. Meredith miscarrying was really obvious if you ever read the interview. The only other option was if she was shot in the uterus.

My biggest confusion comes from the fact that I don't understand the map layout of Seattle Grace Hospital. Clearly Alex/Lexie/Mark, Bailey/Charles/Mary, Callie/Arizona, and Derek's office are all on different floors and somehow the killer manages to go up and down and with the elevators shut down, not bump into any SWAT members. Likewise, Bailey manages to scream without getting one person to help.

The Callie/Arizona plotline ends very predictably. Arizona caves and I'm really disappointed. Not everyone caves; babies are a difficult conversation to have. While I like the two of them together, they could have worked things out without the help of a shooter in the hospital.

Alex goes from "Eat more bacon. Have more sex," to hallucinating about Izzie. Somehow she's gone from the story and she continues to haunt the audience. It was interesting watching Lexie pretend that she was Izzie for Alex's sake. While Lexie picked Alex, the Mark/Lexie situation was left blurry, and Teddy/Mark storyline wasn't even mentioned. My biggest gripe about Lexie was, why did she run away from Mr. Clark with her back to the guy? I would have not only used the cart as a shield, I would have backed away.

Cristina rocked the episode with the surgeries, but it was Jackson's quick thinking that convinced Mr. Clark to leave the operating room. I really hope that Cristina wakes up and realizes that Jackson would be a perfect match for her. At least, Owen can't use the PTSD when Cristina could mention how she had a gun to her head.

Clearly, this episode will be used for Chandra Wilson's Emmy consideration for her emotional turns of trying to fight and then realizing that she could do nothing more. It was sad seeing her powerless, just trying to comfort Charles in his final moments. Why she didn't use a phone to call the SWAT team or run down the stairs by herself was beyond me; yet another plot-hole that I will just have to accept.

Mandy Moore could probably use this for a guest actor nod even if she just fumbled for medical supplies and held up an IV bag. It was sad seeing Charles confess how he loved Reed not knowing that Reed was already dead. If anyone watched this season's set of webisodes, you would have known that the two had a connection. Kudos to the make-up/sfx team that turned Charles paler and paler as the episode went along.

In the end Dr. Webber saves the day. At least the whole alcoholic plotline finally came to a head when he rejected a drink and poured out all of the vodka. It was interesting to see that he managed to get Mr. Clark to off himself with the last bullet. This swat team has to be one of the worst representations out there and I really hope that the Seattle Police department sends out a statement how that's how they wouldn't react, rather follow something similar to Immediate Action Rapid Deployment.

Let's stop and think about the episode as a whole. Shonda Rhimes claimed the episode would be a game changer. Meredtth is still with Derek, albeit without a baby. Cristina and Owen is still blurry, but he picked her over Teddy. Arizona and Callie made up because Arizona caved. Lexie picked Alex, but it could have been because he was shot. Mark looked at Teddy for a few frames. We have two Mercy Westers dead, but two still around. I don't see the game changed at all, but I'll continue to watch the show as it slowly creeps to a series finale. How did you like the finale? I'm sure there's a lot to talk about for the finale so please leave your comments below.
