You're welcome! I updated the OP. I'm trying to add as many speculations as I can recall.

We should speculate about how and when Meredith will find out about Maggie. We haven't done much of that really.

[QueenMeredith]

Possibly Meredith and Derek flashbacks

HAH! If only.. I like flashbacks..

I am curious about what Ellen said, that the flashbacks etc are challenging for her, so we might get some of adult Mer, not just little? [Or for her to remember stuff maybe]

I really think Mer finds out in ep4, it seems like a big episode.. so Meredith's SLs better be heavy.

[darkxtwisty]

I think we might definitely get adult Mer flashbacks, because why else would Ellen mention them?!?! College flashbacks would be neat. Or flashbacks to her partying days. Maybe her mom said something to her when she was college that's worth mentioning even.

I added the MD flashbacks because Dempeo were in scrubs in 11x5 and if Derek is traveling, it's possible they filmed a MerDer flashback. Never know! I think someone mentioned it in a previous thread.

[QueenMeredith]

That would be great, yesss!! Having Ellen and Kate in scenes together, even if flashbacks would be AMAZING.

[darkxtwisty]

That would be awesome. I hope it happens. I read a fanfic once where Meredith was talking to her mom before going to Europe. I believe Meredith alluded to them talking before she went to Europe. I guess they had a big fight. Maybe they could show that fight. Would be AMAZING. Kate and Ellen would be perfect.

[QueenMeredith]

Yes, they had a big fight before Mer left to Europe, it was mentioned in season 3. It would be AWESOME if they show it.

[darkxtwisty]

I would love to see the fight. In the fanfic I read, Ellis couldn't remember anything Meredith had told her and Mer thought she just didn't care when in fact she was exhibiting early Alzheimer's symptoms. Aww, I could see that being the case, and maybe Ellis said something that could have implied she had another daughter but Meredith didn't realize it at the time, like Ellis's comment about how she should have never had a daughter and how she would have to raise her daughter alone - all of which were about Maggie, though Mer thought she was talking about her.

Thanks for the new thread

Hmmm... yeah, and some comments there of Ellis telling Mer that make her realize she's talking about Maggie.

[darkxtwisty]

I had a thought. You know how Ellen has her scrub shirt off in the Dempeo pic? If they WERE filming a flashback scene, maybe that's why she took it off? She'd be wearing light blue scrubs!

[QueenMeredith]

Could be anything..

Lavender and Indigo, Grey’s Anatomy (Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey)... interesting Mer is not sure Maggie is telling the truth.

[darkxtwisty]

Ha! I made that comment yesterday that Meredith probably wouldn't believe her at first. It's even in our speculations!

It also sounds like Meredith will be bringing Lexie up.

[QueenMeredith]

Yep, I'm sure this new sister thing, will make her remember Lexie.

It doesn't help that Maggie doesn't look like she's Ellis's daughter at all.
