1. I’m not ready for Cristina and Owen to end. Seriously, they are the only reason I tune in these days. Lol.

2. I always remember Cristina telling Owen how she’s insensitive at times but she’s not oblivious. And I think that applies here. She’s been a bit of both in her treatment of Owen earlier this season, thinking that the abortion issue (and what it represented) was all swept under the rug, never to be discussed again. (And unfortunately, I fear it won’t be. Because it seems the writers have forgotten that and have moved on.) So, I think she needed it spelled out for her that she was not really reciprocating in her marriage.

3. Interesting! I didn’t think of it that way. And I agree about his heart being broken at the end because her coming to him had given him hope.

4. I know! I can’t wait!

5. If they are going to have Cristina change her mind, it will have to be her that initiates it. Definitely.

6. That’s a good theory! Lexie has been out of the picture most of the season until these last few episodes when she declared her love for Mark. And that’s always a bad sign…

1. Love this answer about the question mark and what it suggested. Yeah. I got confused because Owen says that Cristina is leaving him. But then she considered staying at Seattle Grace for Owen (not because of the program). And I saw her “leaving” Owen the same way she was “leaving” Meredith – both going their own way but never really leaving each other on an emotional level. I don’t know. We’ll find out in the next episode.

2. Yeah, the whole thing with Nurse Emily definitely put things into perspective for Cristina. What with Owen pulling away and this woman seemingly getting closer, Cristina was faced with a “threat” – or so she thought. And I agree that Cristina saw this more of a threat than the situation with Teddy. Funnily enough. You’d assume the opposite.

3. I wish she’d been more clear, too. But I think it was kept purposely vague because Shonda didn’t want to show her hand so soon. She does love to torture the fans.

4. You’re right in that this plane crash does help keep the doctors at Seattle Grace. But I, too, hope for it to affect Cristina in a way where she is given this second chance at life. And she’ll (again) have a front row seat to seeing Meredith being devastated over not being able to find her husband. And maybe that will trigger her own feelings toward Owen and fearing the loss of him in her life. (This really is like the gunman thing all over again.) Here’s hoping it has a more permanent effect and that Shonda knows how to change her tune. Just this once. Too naive?

5. I agree. I think it’s more important that we see Cristina and Owen together, on the same page, having this relationship than them having a baby. Right now, they’re not on the same page. And they’re totally on rocky foundation.

6. Interesting theory! At first I thought Shonda was throwing us off with the plane crash and that it wasn’t one of those doctors who was actually going to die. But then, the promos keep saying how one of those six will die. So, there went that idea. I can see someone at the hospital dying too (not necessarily being one of the doctors).

I also hope for a good Cristina/Owen scene. I just hope we see the plane crash victims make it back to the hospital because if they don’t ever intersect then I’m going to be pissed. And I will throw tomatoes at the screen or maybe send them via fanmail. Lol.

1. Yeah, Owen is heartbroken as he erases his wife’s name. And then you see this look on Cristina’s face with the sentiment you said: wondering if she made the right choice. Of course, shortly afterwards, she’s flying out of a plane. So….

2. I agree. :)

3. Haha, I forgot the clarifying powers of Cristina/Owen sex. Try to sell that in a bottle! I would also like to see it as a sign of eventual reunion. Even if this was a goodbye.

4. Me, too. Me, too.

5. I’m not going to lie. Even though the evidence seems to be pointing otherwise, I still haven’t given up hope for a Cristina/Owen baby. I mean, Shonda dangled the carrot. I’m not the type to give up so easily.

6. Fingers crossed!

4. Well, we’re assuming she does stay, right? I don’t see how the show can operate with the doctors in a gazillion places across the country. And yes, Owen’s reaction is probably one of the highlights I’m most looking forward to.

5. I’m not sure if she’ll change her mind, either. But you have to wonder what will happen, then. Because there is no easy compromise.

6. Dempsey did indeed sign up for 2 more seasons. So it’s between Arizona, Mark, and Lexie. Although, I think I did read somewhere that it isn’t Mark. So, really, it’s Lexie or Arizona…

Too much C/O goodness for the site to handle! Lol.

1. I noticed that too. I think the question mark was there is like how he feels. Should he let her go? Can he? Should he fight for her and try to stop her although he has pretty much stayed on the sidelines. It’s sort of like what should he do? He’s not ready for this to end just yet.

2. I think Cristina started to realize how much he meant to her during the Valentine’s day episode when she was the one to reach out to him. It was further cemented during therapy when he pleaded for her to be his person. The look on her face showed that she didn’t realize what she was doing to him (he’s always been last it seems) and after the therapy she started to notice him more hence her actions when she thought he was having an affair with Emily. Lastly, with her career, he was the only one that didn’t push her. Granted they were not really talking but when they did talk about her career, he was always so supported – in Migration saying “you cannot go wrong with any of the choices” and “she should be proud that Johns Hopkins is recruiting her” in The Girl with No Name.

3. I was so proud of Cristina to realize Owen is her person. It’s about time. As for her going to him, I think she planned on staying or at least still be in the marriage. But after he said he was happy but he knows it doesn’t fix anything, it made her realize that ultimately he still wants a baby and she cannot give that to him. But, I don’t think he meant that. It was more of he knows he betrayed her and it will be a slow road to recovery. I’ll have to say it felt like his heart was slowly mending when she came to him but then she broke it back into a million pieces when she said she was leaving.

4. Owen is going to FREAK OUT when he finds out. From the promos it looks like Cristina injures her arm which may mean she will not be able to operate for a while. This in turn will make her realize that without Owen (love) she will really have nothing. What happens when career is not there? I hope she grasps the notion that you can have both career and love. It doesn’t have to be one over the other.

5. Given Cristina had an abortion which was controversial not to mention she has only 1 fallopian tube, I don’t think SR will introduce another pregnancy for Cristina. But I would like to see a CO baby. Maybe in S9, she will be the one to bring up having a baby so we will know it’s her choice.

6. Cristina and Owen will rebuild after this event. They will both realize that they can’t live without the other and their marriage will be more of a partnership – it’ll be all about compromising. I think Lexie is going to die and Arizona is badly injured. Mark will be devastated emotionally and Derek will be there to help him recover.

P.S Shli, thank you so much, I know that you are very busy so I am very grateful. I really need it.
