Quote:
Tara's lover and coworker Greg are with Tara and they are looking over a formal offer of employment from a Paris (later its NY) law firm as Dr. Smith draws blood.
Meredith and Derek are lover/co-workers. Derek has received an offer from DC.

Quote:
Tara asks him to come with her but Greg says he has his own projects here. She tells him they aren't as good without each other and they are meant to do this together.
The parallel is obvious here. Greg then says he'll go with Tara, but then he changes his mind.

Quote:
Tara is pacing until she sees Greg walking towards her. He's hard to read. Tara tells him she did it, they are free! Greg says he couldn't. Tara cannot believe this, says he promised. Greg tells her she has a husband and he made a vow. Tara tells him that he made a promise to her and he has to do it. He says he can't, he won't, he's sorry.
Definitely parallels to Mer-Der's current situation.

Even the mention of "vows" screams MerDer.

I could believe this is the episode that leads up to the centric episode. Whatever happens in this episode will dictate what happens in the centric eppy, which may be 11.5.

ETA: I'm slow. It's a blatant Ellis/Richard parallel (though Meredith and Derek have always paralleled Ellis and Richard. They are, essentially, what Ellis and Richard could have been.) The Ellis/Richard parallel coincides with the Ellis flashback earlier in the sides as well. I can see the writers drawing Ellis/Richard and Meredith/Derek parallels again, like they did in the earlier seasons. Meredith and Derek were set out to be the anti-Ellis and Richard, though.

Well it can be both so we never really know. In early seasons there was a scene with Mer and Ellis where Ellis told her "He doesnt love her. He cant. But he'll stay with her anyway. She's his wife. "

^ Yup, she was talking about Richard but it applied to MerDer too.

I can see them paralleling MerDer and Richard/Ellis again.

If my theory is right, then they're still dealing with D.C. in 11x4. I wonder if this is Meredith's patient too, then? I could see her being on more than one case (well, wouldn't that be a nice change?) It could be Maggie's patient...I keep forgetting about her.

It's a heavy advil for MerDer since they are dealing with the same situation, of course the sides can change it somehow so not to give it away 100 percent.. it could be Ellis/Richard VS MD situation, like you mentioned they dealt with similar issues in the past.

Oh, if only.. if this big scene/situation lead in to their centric in episode 5.

I hope soooo...

Patrick isn't on set today, but I guess Ellen is. She's been on set so much lately.

I wonder if it's a flashback how it come up... it could be really Ellis/Richard but than again their ending was in the s3 flashback.. I think that's the last time they saw each other.

I think Ellen was on set, since the question was about Ellen/Patrick being on set, and the reply was about Patrick who wasn't. Hope he is today, and he's working with Ellen. Wish we'll get a tweet or anything. SOMETHING.

Though it's unclear when the last time they saw each other. I'm excited to see how they'll handle this.

4 weeks!! Sooo close. I can't believe September is in 4 days.

"Trust no one..."

Especially Shonda.

Wonder if it's the theme of 11x4.
