    Reason why I love this show

    My favorite episode by far !! Been watching since I was 15 and I come back to watch this one all the time !! The growth of Mer and Derrick is a big part of why I live this episode. I act tough but I'm a softy especially for their relationship!

    Meredith finally gets closure

    I loved this episode, Meredith finally gains closure about her mother and is now finally able to move on and her and Derek's trial finally works. I loved this episode and I loved how Christina is undertaking the task of teaching Lexie too. A touching and beautiful finale

    • Quotes

      Dr. Meredith Grey: What do you mean? I don't know what you mean when you say she didn't want to die.

      Dr. Katharine Wyatt: When you were sitting on the floor with your mother, what did she say to you?

      Dr. Meredith Grey: She told me to be extraordinary. She said that she had failed, but that I should be extraordinary, that I shouldn't depend on anyone. "Be an extraordinary woman, Meredith," is what she said.

      Dr. Katharine Wyatt: And so you became a surgeon, just like her.

      Dr. Meredith Grey: Yes.

      Dr. Katharine Wyatt: Which means you have all the tools to figure this out for yourself.

      Dr. Meredith Grey: But I just...

      Dr. Katharine Wyatt: You need to work this through, Meredith. I promise you, when you do, you're gonna be glad.
