The promo doesn't do much for me, which is a first since a long time... Usually the promos pull me in, but the fact that Krista Vernoff wrote it is great, because I like the eps she's written.

[Tears of an Angel]

What episode she already wrote?

I'm very impatient to watch this Halloween epi!

[Bella Cullen]

Krista wrote this OMG yay!!! I like her the bestest!!

She's written Into you like a train, she is amazing, im so glad she 's off maternity leave!!

Apparently there is a merder sneak peek going around youtube. But no one can find it now, lol. It's so elusive!!! I think it was the begining of mer dropping her mum's ashes?

[Eternal Flame]

I'm happy she's back from maternity leave too.. I wonder if she had a boy or a girl

She wrote 'Into you like a train' yes.. Such a great ep! And Six Days pt. 1 and 2. She's great at writing tearjerker scenes if you ask me.
She also wrote 'Yesterday', 'Grandma got run over by a reindeer' (S2), 'I am a Tree' (S3) and 'If Tomorrow Never Comes'(S1)

Apparently there is a merder sneak peek going around youtube. But no one can find it now, lol. It's so elusive!!! I think it was the begining of mer dropping her mum's ashes?

I hope it will be here soon.. I only wish for another promo!

[Bella Cullen]

I hope this episode is a good one and some issues are resolved for meredith concerning her mum!

[LivvyxBaby]

I am so excited for this episode. It looks really good considering it's Hallowe'en-ish.

now, this was the grey's i know and love.

i loved everything. the medical cases were good. the man and his daughter's heart was VERY touching.

mark/derek were too cute. line of the night was. "lookin without the G. it's dirtier that way." and "the apple fell really ffar from the tree." good stuff from mark.

loved the boy trick or treating for ears.

loved izzie and christina in the stairway, and her calling her on hers and mer's circle. i truly got izzie felt bad how things went down. i had no idea she and george were together, so that was nice to see. lovd their last scene.

speaking of george, the line about him giving his dad his heart if he could was very touching. LOVED LOVED LOVED the last scene with bailey. oh boy that was touching. i'm glad she said it takes two people to get to where they are.

christina telling the chief he couldn't have her apt, was my LOL moment of the night.

ugh, ava wa the only real down part. selfish selfish selfish. amazing how she was worried about hving sex with alex on her childs' first halloween, and bailey, who was changing a kid's life was torn up about missing her kids. i also HATED that ava was being selfish when he said something was wrong with her intern. i could have done without her, but he looked SO hot all episode.

after mer explained what she was doing with the ashes it made sense. that was the PERFECT place to put ellis, and i loved that the chief was part of it. i liked mer a lot this episode. i'm sure it had something to do with minimal derek scenes.

nice stuff with alex and norman.

blah to callie, as usual. but overall, the best epi of the season for me. really really classic greys.

[LivvyxBaby]

Hahaha. The Mark/Derek scene was awesome. Mark is like teaching Derek the ropes of dating. I love how their relationship is getting better.

[Eternal Flame]

Glad you liked it that much Brie!
So hopefully, once I see it, I can once again say that Krista Vernoff rocks each ep!

[Bella Cullen]

Apparently some people think there was some mer/mark romantic vibes in their scene?

Krista Vernoff on "Haunt You Every Day"... First things first. Blogging about episode number 5 when you are currently spending long days in the writers’ room working on episode 12? This kind of thing was MUCH easier before I had a baby. Yes, since we last spoke my beautiful daughter Cosette was born – and with her arrival went the vast majority of my brain cells. Seriously, it’s craaaazy how dumb I am. Can’t. Remember. Crap. I currently have my lovely and talented assistant, Star, running around the building looking for a dvd of “Haunt You Everyday” so I can remember what the hell it’s about. I vaguely remember something about Halloween. So that’s what I’ll talk about. Halloween has long been a favorite holiday of my family. We are a highly delusional people, and any opportunity to pretend to be someone else, we seize upon with glee. Every year, my Dad, until he died at 56, would spend like, 4 hours in the bathroom putting on this unbelievable costume. He would dress as one of the monsters from the Time Machine. What were they called?? Warlock? …Morlock! I think it was morlock! God, I wish I was kidding about my memory. Anyway, he was big on the holiday. I, myself, remember being chastised by a neighbor lady when, at age 13, I was dressed up like a kitty/bunny/rodent type creature, ringing doorbells and trick or treating. She told me I was too old for this sort of thing and I STILL remember my devastation, cause truth be told, that hadn’t even occurred to me. I loooove Halloween (and you can’t believe how excited I am to dress my 7 month old in a monkey costume and carry her around the neighborhood – no one can tell me I’m too old for that!!) I’m ranting, as usual, but my point is…Meredith. That moment where she tells Mark that Ellis never got Halloween together and didn’t approve of knocking on doors, begging for food… That moment explains so so so much to me about our lovely, broken Meredith. That her first experience trick or treating is taking an earless boy around the hospital to make his pro-bono surgery happen… I find it utterly heartbreaking. And I love that Mark points out to her that she fell pretty far from the Ellis tree. I think it was critically important to Meredith to hear those words, because the haunting Meredith is feeling, is the fear that she will die alone like her Mom did. Because Derek said he might find someone else before she’s ready. And she doesn’t know how to get ready. Cause she’s an emotional cripple who’s unwilling or unable to lay her ass down on a therapist’s couch for the many years it takes to work through issues like she has. Meredith’s version of therapy – her very best idea – is to bring her mom’s ashes to work. Y’know, in a strange way it makes sense – like, she understands that she’s been sticking her mom in the back of her closet, literally and metaphorically – and that if she doesn’t start to look at this stuff (i.e.: herself) she’s in danger of dying alone (i.e.; losing Derek forever.) Life is hard isn’t it? But I love and applaud Meredith’s ongoing willingness to try – as she explains to Derek when his hands are covered in mommy dust and he’s looking at her like maybe, just maybe he should escort her up to the psych ward, “This is me trying.” See, Derek comes from sanity, and a Mom who probably made him homemade Halloween costumes every year and chaperoned the school dances and things – so it’s hard for him to get, exactly how haunted Meredith is. Richard, though, gets it. Because Ellis haunts him, too. And my favorite scene, maybe ever, is the one in which Richard and Meredith put Ellis to rest in a surgical sink. I hope, I hope, I hope you all got this. I hope so much that no one found this disrespectful. (My Dad, for the record, has been laid to rest in something like 28 different countries. He had always wanted to travel, and never got to much, so after he died, my stepmom put his ashes in many little baggies and gave them out to all his friends with the directive that when they went somewhere cool, they should bring him. I kid you not. I myself scattered him in the Bahamas, in Paris and in Scotland.) Point is, there is nowhere Ellis would rather be put to rest than in the scrubroom at Seattle Grace. This is absolutely the most respectful and appropriate thing Meredith could have done. And Ellis was a very private woman, so the intimate ceremony, her daughter and the man who loved her most, was all she would have wanted. There are more things in this episode, I know there are, but I loaned my dvd to the new writer and my assistant isn’t back yet and my brain isn’t functioning and I’m needed in the writers’ room, so I will say goodbye here and wish you all a very happy Halloween. May no one ever tell you you are too old to knock on doors and beg for food. Xoxo, Krista

[Bella Cullen]

A whole blog on meredith....gah i knew i loved Krista for a reason, lol!

[Eternal Flame]

She loves Meredith because she's lacking on the rest of the ep

[Tanique33]

karen, you'll enjoy it as much as i did. i have no doubt. my friend and i both loved it.

people are looking for stuff where there is nothing. there were MUCH more vibes hen mark first hit on mer, when he used to hit on her. there was NOTHING there now. i always loved their thing, so i hope i get more scenes with them.

[Eternal Flame]

I did really like it.. Definitely one of the better eps of Grey's of this season, if not the best so far this season.

There was no 'love' vibe between Mark/Meredith IMO

I love Mark/Derek

I agree with Brie's post completely, too lazy to type it all out.
Though the Alex/Ava thing, well I did find it interesting and cute.. Though not shipping them And I did like Callie too!
