I have really loved this whole season. Meredith's evolution is so great to watch.
I really don't think this episode deserves such a high rating, however. Parts of it were fantastic, especially Meredith's "what kind of sister" speech to Amelia and the scene with Riggs. Otherwise the episode was a corny melodrama…

I'm so glad you're posting regular reviews for GA! I'm one of those new fans who only started the show this year. As someone who has blasted through all 12 seasons in the past few months, I have to say the difference in this show for the past two seasons is striking and remarkable.
