Spoilers Anonymous In-Depth: 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'The Office' and 'Desperate Housewives' February Sweeps

This is Spoilers Anonymous In-Depth, a weekly column here at TV Squad where we discuss and give our two cents on recently released spoilers and how they may affect the story lines, shows and fans.

This in-depth version of the column goes hand-in-hand with our weekly spoilers column, in which we supply you with the dirt on some of the more popular shows on the air.

This week, we discuss spoilers recently released for February Sweeps episodes of 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'The Office' and 'Desperate Housewives.'

'Grey's Anatomy'

In this week's episode, Meredith is put in charge of running the ER for a night. Adele Webber shows up as one of the ER patients.

In the Feb. 24 episode, Meredith must make a difficult choice when she begins having trouble seeing -- her fertility treatments or her eyesight.

Now that Izzie is gone, Meredith is my least favorite character. She whines a tad too much, don't you think? Nonetheless, it'll be interesting to see how she'll perform while running the ER. No doubt all the stars will align to make sure that various gruesome, wacky and difficult emergencies happen exactly when Meredith begins her shift. Spoilers don't say if the Chief's wife will be admitted to the ER during Meredith's shift, but it seems likely as that would add extra drama -- especially if Adele's illness is complex and requires especially difficult choices/decisions be made.

Meredith won't have time to catch a breath between this week's episode and the next. The Feb. 24 episode will surely be a roller coaster of emotion for Derek and Meredith when they learn she has to stop undergoing fertility treatments because they're affecting her vision (which is a bad side effect when your daily job is to be a surgeon). As a fan of the show, I hope they either find an alternative treatment.


'The Office'

Michael presents his long-awaited action movie to his co-workers. Per the official episode description's, 'Threat Level Midnight' stars Michael as Agent Michael Scarn, Dwight as Scarn's butler sidekick and Jim as archnemesis Goldenface, along with many familiar faces from Michael's past.

This sounds like a legen -- wait for it -- dary episode! Michael has been working on this movie for years, tweaking it, shooting it, editing it. Will it still make sense after all the changes?! But what will be even cooler is that the cast is made up of Dunder Mifflin workers and a good number of them surely don't have a single acting bone in their body. Oh, and did you notice the "along with many familiar faces from Michael's past" part of the description? Will Jan be part of the cast?

Which characters from the past would you like to see appear in Michael's film? Comment in the section below!


'Desperate Housewives'

Porter and Preston move out of the house but find a place very close to home. Keith asks Bree to move to Florida with him so he can be closer to Charlie.

The twins living on their own?! Really?! They can barely take care of themselves when Lynette and Tom are around to help -- how will they make it work without their parents? This is a fun idea as it'll not only change the dynamic in the Scavo household but will surely also offer us a bunch of funny scenes where the twins are trying to make it work on their own. Then again, maybe rich grandma Stella can hire them a butler, a cook and a cleaning lady!

All good things must come to an end, eh? I really enjoyed the Bree and Keith pairing and am sad to see that they'll soon broke up. I just hope that the writers leave a door open for Keith to return if Brian Austin Greene's next TV project doesn't work. Maybe Charlie and Amber could move to Fairview?
