The 300th episode of Grey's Anatomy, titled "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story," included everything fans love about the series. It was a fitting tribute to the medical drama and provided fans with a sentimental trip down memory lane while still moving storylines forward. There was drama, romance, humor, secrets revealed and, of course, some life-saving surgeries. And while Grey's Anatomy found a unique way to pay homage to characters from the past, the main focus was on Meredith Grey, who continues to live up to her family legacy by winning the Harper Avery award. With one of the prestigious awards under her belt, Meredith may be on the road to surpassing Ellis Grey's achievements, but the parallels between Ellis' life and Meredith's remain too close for comfort, raising the question, "Is Meredith doomed to end up like her mother?"...

Admit it, you went through a handful of tissues, didn't you?
And by "handful," I mean potentially an entire box.
It has been a while since Grey's Anatomy has given us one of those episodes that leaves you curled up in the fetal position bawling your eyes out. There have been a few sniffles here and there, but not a sob-fest.
Grey's Anatomy Season 13 Episode 18 was exactly that, a sob-fest. It also was one of the best installments of the season thus far.
Hats off to Ellen Pompeo for making her directorial debut. She did an incredible job, and one can only hope that she continues down this path and chooses to direct more down the road.
But I would be remiss to go on discussing this amazing hour without commenting on just how breathtaking Kelly McCreary's performance was throughout this hour.
Someone, anyone, submit this for an Emmy reel.

Spencer learns Toby’s dark secret tonight — but will she keep it?
The moment Pretty Little Liars fans have waited three long months for is almost upon us: Spencer (Troian Bellisario) will finally discover that Toby (Keegan Allen) is a member of the “A” team on the show’s Jan. 22 episode — and it’s going to be intense.
“When Spencer finds out, she almost goes through the stages of grief: First, it’s denial, then anger, then sadness and, in her odd way, acceptance, too,” executive producer Marlene King tells HollywoodLife.com‘s sister site TVLine. “She’ll [initially] keep it a secret. That’s her journey through the first half of Season 3B, because she doesn’t want the girls to know — especially when she’s still trying to process and make sense of it.”
And Spencer’s reaction, Marlene says, is absolutely “gut-wrenching.”

This is difficult to get out, but we can no longer be in denial: Alaric Saltzman is dead. The beloved history teacher won't play a role on The Vampire Diaries Season 4.
But what about his doctor of a love interest? Meredith Fell, after all, is the one responsible for injecting the blood into Elena that will lead to her upcoming transformation.
“Meredith in the beginning is just trying to keep her head above water, realizing that she’s found herself dropped into this supernatural world she never really meant to get involved with,” previews producer Julie Plec to TV Line.
“She has a choice to make: Does she want to dive in head first and embrace it? Or does she want to pull back and say, ‘Hey you know what? Why don’t you guys leave me out of it.’ We’ll be seeing a little bit of her in the beginning of the season.

Eighteen hopeless New York singles rehabilitated and almost as many near brawls averted within the offices of Wings, Inc., and here we are – the season finale of Setup Squad.
First is Seth, a straight gadget reviewer who admits he only talks about a narrow set of subjects that no one but himself gives a damn about. This is a sign of two things: Asperger’s or Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and while he doesn’t seem to have either, signing up to appear on a reality show points to the latter, so the jury is still out on him. Lauretta is assigned to help Seth open up.
Next is Francesca, a straight investigative reporter with looks, brains, and a successful career. While some people take the velvet hammer approach to dating, her approach is more like the iron fist. Jonathan is assigned to soften her approach. Meredith doesn’t look very happy.

The Family Stone
With his observations about the clash between a tightly wound Manhattan careerist and her boyfriend' s loose-limbed New England clan, writer-director Thomas Bezucha puts a fresh slant on the dynamics of family-reunion Christmas movies. But "The Family Stone" spends too much time on unconvincing romantic-comedy contrivances to be consistently engaging.
Throughout the uneven film and its mixed bag of performances, the compelling point of focus is Diane Keaton's smart, funny, spot-on natural portrait of the formidable Stone matriarch. Fans of the actress and of Sarah Jessica Parker, in her first major post-"Sex and the City" film role, will flock to the holiday offering, which should be a draw for older audiences and women.
Unfortunately, Parker is one of the actors who fares least well here. Fans looking for Carrie Bradshaw's irreverence will find instead a multitasking, throat-clearing control freak. Parker does, however, deliver some strong moments late in the proceedings, when script mechanics release her character, Meredith, from the Stone family's sacrificial altar.
The story unfolds over three days in an unidentified New England town, where Meredith and her boyfriend, Everett (Dermot Mulroney), visit his artsy mother and professor father (Craig T. Nelson, lending low-key strength). The deck is stacked against her: Everett's outspoken younger sister Amy (Rachel McAdams), having already met Meredith, hates her. And Sybil (Keaton), a striking, casually dressed woman with a Susan Sontag-style shock of white hair, regards Meredith with a roll of the eyes and a sneer of disdain when she crosses the threshold in Black Power pumps that couldn't be more out of place. Who wouldn't feel intimidated?
Where Bezucha (whose other feature credit is the indie "Big Eden") gets it right is in his clear-eyed depiction of the way ultra-tolerant, "open-minded" people can be utterly intolerant -- and even delight in being mean, with McAdams and Keaton offering fine examples. But he layers his story with romantic alignments and realignments that all feel forced.
The roundelay begins when Meredith, under passive-aggressive siege, summons her sister to lend moral support. When Everett lays eyes on the luminous Julie (Claire Danes), as clear a contrast to the shrill Meredith as could be imagined, his mask of misery finally melts. Like Parker, Mulroney is constrained by a role that doesn't quite parse. However mismatched Everett and Meredith May be, any couple this appearance-conscious would at least try not to look as downright miserable as these two do. And as successful businesspeople, they would know how to work a room somewhat better than they manage here.
But families have a way of laying low our best defenses, and as this gathering unravels, Meredith's chief ally is not her boyfriend but his brother (Luke Wilson, in one of the film's best performances), a documentary film editor exuding a soulful -- and cannabis-enhanced -- serenity. Also seeing through Meredith's brittle demeanor to her self-doubt is Nelson's paterfamilias Kelly, providing counterpoint to Sybil and Amy's drama for flash judgments.
Rounding out the brood are married, pregnant daughter Susannah (Elizabeth Reaser) and youngest son Thad (Tyrone Giordano), perhaps Bezucha's most loaded construct. Thad is gay and deaf, his partner (Brian White) is black, and they're planning to adopt. All of which would be fine if Thad didn't exist merely as a setup for the dinner-table debacle in which Meredith, speaking her mind, plants both feet firmly in mouth and proceeds to do a Riverdance.
It's no wonder that Sybil is bracing herself against Everett's request for the heirloom ring -- the second meaning of the film's title -- that she had promised him for his intended, long before Meredith entered the picture. Keaton brings a bracing acerbity to Sybil, who reneges on that promise with an unapologetic, "Tough shit". Although she's not always likable, her toughness and honesty are her family's life force.
The production has a suitably unfussy sheen, with Jane Ann Stewart's production design and Shay Cunliffe's costumes conveying the Stone home's lived-in, bohemia-tinged comfort. New Jersey and Connecticut locations serve well as the snow-covered burg. A holiday-themed bonus awaits Keaton fans who stay to the end of the credits.
