I agree that the Colby thing totally came of left field. Completely surprising.

I was the opposite on the Colby thing. Given the previous episode this season with his old buddy, I thought it was going to turn out to be someone else because Colby being a spy was too obvious.

I must be daft, because I don't remember the whole old buddy stuff. I don't think I've missed any episodes, but maybe I have. It was out of left field to me.

It was an episode earlier this year.

Was the GA finale a 2 hour ep?

Loving Burke and being the wife he wanted was going to turn Christina into a different person. She didn't want to be a different person. I can totally understand her being relieved to be free of the burden of being Burke's wife, even while mourning the loss of that love. Some people's love is just too heavy to carry.

Omnia vincit amor. My lonely single ass it does.

ultimately, I understand it, but I don't think the writers did a very good job bringing the characters to this point. What happened to the Christina of "we need to hire a wife!" when she accepted his proposal?

It was 1 hour and 15 minutes. (The GA finale.)

Well, I missed the last 15 minutes then. I taped it and it ended just as the scene at the wedding was beginning. I take it I missed stuff.

I guess I'll have to wait until the recap is up at TWOP.

Oh wow. Did you ever.

Now, I can't be sure what was in the last 15 minutes alone but:

Christina realizes that she washed the vows off her hands and has a meltdown. She takes so long to get her shit back together that Burke decides the wedding isn't something she really wants so he walks back to tell her that it's not going to happen (can't recall exact words) and leaves. Mere gets to announce that there will be no wedding and as she steps down after the announcement, she says, "It's over," - to Derek. Back at Christina and Burke's place - Christina shows the evidence that Burke is really truly gone: his vinyl collection is gone, so his his trumpet and his lucky skullcap - wherein she has this excellent meltdown and Mere comforts her. I believe there will be fan fiction.

Meanwhile, sometime during this episode, Karev sits down next to Addison who tells him that he's foolish to let Ava/Rebecca go so he races back to the hospital but she's gone.

The Chief offered the Chief-Surgeon position to Derek and in flashback they show Derek turning it down and saying that he (Weber) is clearly the best man for the job. Also Adele tells the Chief that he's the father of the baby she miscarried and in such a way that he knows that she still loves him.

George is cleaning out his locker when the new first-years come in. At the very end one of them introduces herself: it's Mere's half-sister Lexie Gray. Also, the woman that was flirting with Derek at Joe's the other night.
