It’s official: Meredith Grey didn’t die last night<\/a> in “Some Kind of Miracle,” one of “Grey’s Anatomy’s<\/a>” most intense episodes yet. I know, I know. She is one of the main characters. She couldn’t really <\/em>die. But I really did start to wonder if she might.<\/p>\n

Though Meredith came back to the living after her near-drowning experience (potentially a suicidal one) in the frigid waters along Seattle’s coast, before she woke up she spent some time among the already dead. Viewers got a full hour glimpse of the afterlife–at least according to Meredith Grey. Not surprisingly, it looked a lot like Seattle Grace hospital, and it was populated by former patients of Meredith, most notably Denny, Izzy’s one-time fiance who died tragically at the end of last season. It is Denny who plays angel to Meredith’s newcomer-to-heaven role. As Meredith scurries through the hallways trying to re-save long-dead patients, Denny tries to convince her that death is not what she wants, that she can still go back, she just needs to want life.<\/p>\n

But it’s an encounter with her mother that finally convinces her to end her heavenly sojourn.<\/p>\n

For all the talk of McDreamy and McSteamy and the soap opera-like relationships ongoing in the show, “Grey’s Anatomy” continues to wow me each week, producing moving, provocative storylines with so much depth and emotion that I can’t help but tune in. Last night’s was one of the show’s best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
