I hope when Cristina leaves, it's for her and not because she's running from Owen. And the relationship that wasn't meant to be.

It wasn't the worst episode of this season. But it just told what we already know for seasons, other than sex Crowen are just bad match, who both want different things. But I guess it was a needed episode, a closure to Crowen and their fans. My guess she'll be leaving for a great opportunity, and Shane will most likely go with her, that would he the actor's exit.

The Meredith and Cristina scenes were AMAZING.. I don't say this too often, but those reminded me of old school Mer/Cris. Their last scene is going to be bittersweet for sure.

Loved the Mer/Alex little scene in the beginning.

The little Derek/Bailey interaction

i thought it was a pretty good episode i've always liked cristina and owen so i enjoyed watching different versions of their relationship play out. sad, but great to watch.

I loved the episode and thought it was a much-needed episode. Personally, I think it put to bed a lot of Crowen's issues and was a wake-up call for Cristina. I don't think Owen will be the only factor in Cristina's choice to leave, but it will certainly play a role. Like drunk Owen said, "I see you every day..." One of them has to leave the hospital in order for them to be able to move on healthily.

I'm sorry that people found the episode confusing. I thought the episode was written wonderfully. My only critique was the big Zola scene. Meredith was talking about her right in front of her, and Zola didn't say anything. It would have been nice to give her a couple lines. I would have even liked to have seen Zola and Bailey fighting in the background. Zola must have been about 6, so Bailey would be 4. They could have done a lot with an older Zola, instead of just have her sit there and draw while Cristina and Meredith talked about a dog.

Sandra said they had to cut a lot out, but that the extended version will be on the S10 box set, and that will include the cut Zola scenes, I'm sure!

I've heard. Assuming there are cut Zola scenes. So I have to buy the DVD just to see them. Though I'm sure it won't take long for them to get on YouTube once the DVD is released.

Yes! I was disappointed that we didn't get to see more from the older Zola.

the editing of the epp was pretty choppy but I thought it established that CO do not belong together. They have different outlooks and goals.

Presentation of two timelines in one episode was ambitious and it resulted in them having to chop out too many little details from both timelines to make it work.

I am looking forward to next week's episode. It seems pretty interesting and involves more of the characters, even though I know Cristina needs more time as we wind up with the season since she will not be back next fall.

I haven't seen it. What was the general reaction?

It was not well received. A lot of people dubbed it the worst episode.

I don't think it was the worst episode of the season but it was not "epically beautiful" as Shonda put it.

runawaaay

I didnt think it was the worse eppy either. I find it one of the better eppies.

Shonda has a very different definition of words.

It was definitely not the worst episode. People on Facebook tend to have very different opinions than I do, which is why I try to avoid the comments because they can be very aggravating. I also don't think FB represents the general population. Those who post on FB pages tend to be very negative anyway.

its funny coz i thought it was the best ep of the season and i could smell the good old grey's days. The written was veeeeery good, this episode blew me away. So much to think about, who are we? a simple no or yes can change our lives forever. Very inspirational episode.

I enjoyed it but the editing made it so choppy like it's was confusing for the viewers. I'm curious to see the deleted scenes.
