Spoilers Anonymous In-Depth: 'Grey's Anatomy' May 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 May Sweeps episodes of 'Grey's Anatomy.,' including spoilers for this week's installment.
The May 5 episode will mostly center around Callie and Arizona's wedding. However, ABC reveals that during the episode "Meredith and Derek make a decision that will change their lives forever."
Rumor has it that said life changing decision will involve Meredith and Derek making their Post-It note marriage official so they can start adoption procedures! Don't know about you, but if that rumor is true, I'll be one happy fan.
Meredith may be one of the characters I like least, but even I can admit that it's time she and Derek catch a break and something wonderful happens. If they do end up adopting a baby, it means that Cristina, of all people, will become a godmother and will have to change diapers! Hilarious, no? It will also allow Meredith, Callie, and Bailey to bond over the joys and challenges of motherhood.
A few promotional pictures have shown pictures of Derek and Meredith with one of the African babies. Could it be that the couple tries to adopt one of the orphans Alex has brought over to the hospital?
According to TV Line, the season finale will end with an emotional shootout, and Meredith, Alex and Cristina will all be affected. The competition for Chief Resident will also climax during the episode.
These are not jaw-dropping spoilers since we expect the 'Grey's Anatomy' main characters to be left in a cliffhanger-type situation at the end of the season. Plus, it's a given that after weeks of searching a new Chief Resident will be named.
However, if you take a second to think about that intel, things get more interesting. What emotional event could impact Meredith, Alex and Cristina? Personally, I do not think that one single event will affect all three.
I expect that it will be uncovered that Meredith switched the meds in last week's episode so that Adele would get the active agent. This will get Meredith in deep trouble and the cliffhanger could be that not only she may lose her job at the hospital but that the clinical trial could be stopped because the process was tempered by Meredith.
As for Alex and Cristina, their emotional rollercoaster could be linked -- especially if Alex gets the position of Chief Resident. If he does, Cristina will probably not be a happy camper with Owen which could put their relationship in jeopardy.
Alex's season finale emotional storyline could be linked to one of the African children he brought over. Maybe the money Alex received runs out when one of the kids needs more care than first planned? That could lead to Alex having to make a few not-so-ethical decisions and twist a few arms so to get the kid the help he needs.
What do you forsee happening in the season finale for these three characters? Do you agree with my theories? If not, what are yours? Shares your two cents in comments below!
