Another tearjerker-- that poor man Holden. I was really surprised when the son came back. I felt so sad for him-- what kind of life would possibly be ahead for him? Wife moved on, kid doesn't know him... how would he work again, the hospital bills. I'm practical like that. So maybe it's a blessing he died. I immediately flash to Six Feet Under, wondering who is going to take care of the funeral arrangements.

I loved the part where that arrogant asshole visiting attending finds out that Bailey is the Nazi. Awesome!! So Mere ends up at the bar-- again. You go Mere!! Discover your inner drunkard!

Oh goodness - is it really over between Derek and Mere? His voice cracked when he said "Good-bye, Meredith." :( But this was the first night I found an inkling of sympathy for Addison, especially when she asked Derek if he was done hurting her. And I have to admit, I thought it was pretty hot when he said "Here we go . . ." before leaning in to kiss Addison.

But it must be said that when they were discussing Holden's options and Derek said he didn't know what he'd choose, I said, "Big effin' surprise."

The saddest moment of the night, by far, was coming out the surgery where Holden died and finding his son there in the waiting room - I think Holden died believing he wouldn't come back.

And Bailey - wait for it . . . "Happy Thanksgiving." Another great ep from her.

Next week with Alex and Izzie looks hot . . . but WHAT is Mere's deal? She gets a new (Derek-look-alike) hottie tonight, but next week ends up in bed with someone else entirely?

George - the whole time his brothers were ragging on him, I kept yelling "You had your finger in a heart! Tell them you're Burke's guy!" And I teared up when he finally told his dad and his dad said "That's somethin' else" which I suspect is high praise. The George love keeps growing.

ETA: I couldn't remember Holden's name.
