It’s official: Meredith Grey didn’t die last night in “Some Kind of Miracle,” one of “Grey’s Anatomy’s” most intense episodes yet. I know, I know. She is one of the main characters. She couldn’t really die. But I really did start to wonder if she might.
Though Meredith came back to the living after her near-drowning experience (potentially a suicidal one) in the frigid waters along Seattle’s coast, before she woke up she spent some time among the already dead. Viewers got a full hour glimpse of the afterlife–at least according to Meredith Grey. Not surprisingly, it looked a lot like Seattle Grace hospital, and it was populated by former patients of Meredith, most notably Denny, Izzy’s one-time fiance who died tragically at the end of last season. It is Denny who plays angel to Meredith’s newcomer-to-heaven role. As Meredith scurries through the hallways trying to re-save long-dead patients, Denny tries to convince her that death is not what she wants, that she can still go back, she just needs to want life.
But it’s an encounter with her mother that finally convinces her to end her heavenly sojourn.
For all the talk of McDreamy and McSteamy and the soap opera-like relationships ongoing in the show, “Grey’s Anatomy” continues to wow me each week, producing moving, provocative storylines with so much depth and emotion that I can’t help but tune in. Last night’s was one of the show’s best.

I never miss Grey’s Anatomy, it is one of the best shows they have put on television. I have told many people about it, hope it keeps running and keeps up the good story ends. We all know life is not happy all the time but we all have the fantasy of being happy all the time. I collect angel of all types, have them in each of my rooms in my home and pray to my guardian angel often. i know i am here because of her getting me out of some difficult situations at times. A good day to you and may the angels keep you folded in their wings. Rita

I agree. That was a fantasic episode. If you listened intently, I am sure that there was a message for each of us in that show. Bravo to “Grey’s Anatomy.

Wouldn’t miss the show. As far as Angels go, we have had many “encounters”. I always carry an Angel in my purse. During one episode my Husband was having an Angiogram. I checked in my purse before he went in, everything was fine, when on the table he suffered a stroke. He couldn’t talk and was paralysed on one side. He recovered gratefully, no sign of what had happened but the Angel suffered the loss of a wing and a leg on the same side as his stroke. Never did find the pieces. I guess the Angel stood in for him.
