Grey's Anatomy: Some Kind of Miracle (3)
While Meredith's life hangs in the balance, the interns each have to grapple with the reality that she may not make it. Derek refuses to give up hope that Meredith will pull through, but as time passes, Derek begins to slowly break down. Cristina takes the possibility of her death the hardest, and refuses to accept that it could happen. As Bailey and Chief Webber work to save Meredith's life, Meredith is visited by figures from her past, including Denny and Dylan Young, both of whom try to convince her not to die. Elsewhere, Addison and Alex continue to work with their pregnant Jane Doe, who has no memory of the ferry boat accident or her life prior it.

Episode Quotes
Meredith: (voiceover) There are medical miracles. Being worshipers at the alter of silence we don't like to believe miracles exist, but they do. Things happen, we can't explain them, we can't control them, but they do happen. Miracles do happen in medicine. They happen everyday, just not always when we need them to happen.
(about Meredith and Derek)
Mark: So she's okay?
Addison: Yeah. We never had that. He never felt that way about me.
Mark: I did.
Addison: You know, sometimes I think what a waste it is to throw away all that history.
Mark: I'm flawed and I'm a ... a wreck, but you, it wasn't a game.
Addison: 60 days. Go 60 days with no sex, no other women. 60 days cold turkey and maybe I'll believe you.
Mark: So I only have sex with you?
Addison: No. No sex with anyone. Grow up Mark. Find another way to scratch the itch.
Mark: Say I do, you'll give us another try? A real try, the couple thing, no sneaking around, no booty calls.
Addison: If you make it. Yes.
Mark: Okay. We're on. Oh, and Addison, if I'm not having sex, neither are you.
Addison: Who would I possibly be having sex with?

Derek: (to Ellis Grey) You broke her. You called her ordinary. You told her time and time again that nothing she does ever is good enough. Every good thing Meredith is happened to spite you. She may not survive this. That's on you. That is on you.
Jane Doe: Is it really bad? You look ... am I gonna ...?
Alex: No, no, no. It's just, uh, a friend. She was in the accident too.
Jane Doe: I'm sorry.
Alex: Yeah, yeah. Things are tough all over.
Alex: No, no, no. It's just, uh, a friend. She was in the accident too.
Jane Doe: I'm sorry.
Alex: Yeah, yeah. Things are tough all over.
Izzie: I let you down. And I get it if you don't trust me right now. But please George, it's me. It's us. Please.
Ellis Grey: You shouldn't be here Meredith. You are anything but ordinary.
Denny: Izzie.
Meredith: You see her?
Denny: No. Sometimes we'll be in the same place at exactly the same time and I can almost hear her voice, until I come touching her. I like to believe she knows I'm there. That's all you get. That's it. Moments with the people you love. And they'll move on, and you want them to move on. And still, Meredith, that's all you get. Moments.
Meredith: Is this really happening?
Denny: I don't know. This is your afterlife, not mine.
Meredith: You see her?
Denny: No. Sometimes we'll be in the same place at exactly the same time and I can almost hear her voice, until I come touching her. I like to believe she knows I'm there. That's all you get. That's it. Moments with the people you love. And they'll move on, and you want them to move on. And still, Meredith, that's all you get. Moments.
Meredith: Is this really happening?
Denny: I don't know. This is your afterlife, not mine.
Meredith: I was swimming. I was fighting. And then I thought, just for a second, I thought "What’s the point?" And then I let go. I stopped fighting. Don’t tell anybody.
Denny: Okay.
Denny: Okay.
(about Meredith)
Denny: She’s freaking out.
Dylan: She’s not freaking out.
Denny: People tend to freak out.
Dylan: Trust me, she’s fine.
Denny: Oh, okay Mr. I’ve been dead longer and knows every thing.
Dylan: You know that’s why I don’t like to be here with you because you don’t assess the situation, you just dive right in.
Denny: Oh, I’m not the one who got himself all blown up.
Dylan: Alright, you wanna do this now or do you wanna do this later?
Denny: Oh, I ... I wanna do this --

George: What the hell did you say to my wife?
Izzie: I didn't say anything. We both --
George: I saw her face. I saw her face. She didn't say anything, but why, why would you pick now to throw down?
Izzie: I didn't. I can't lie about how I feel.
George: Actually you can! You can! People lie all the time. They hold their tongues and they wait. You should hold your tongue because if I'm not making a mistake you're gonna look like a jerk. And if I am, I'm going to need you. I need you and you keep taking that away.

Webber: (to Ellis' body) You’ve been gone a long time. and I know you think you died when the Alzheimer’s started. I know it’s a relief to you. I know. but it doesn’t feel like a relief to me. I’m not relieved. I miss the sound of your voice. I miss talking to you. I miss you. I dyed my hair. For the ladies.
