When TV Shows Take a Little Piece of Your Heart

This week on Grey's Anatomy, the writers apparently decided to make all of the viewers feel some type of sadness. I wasn't able to see the episode "Rise Up" on Thursday but my neighbors had mentioned to me that the episode had been a great one and that they had gotten teary eyed. Now these neighbors aren't just neighbors its a group of 4 of my closest GUY friends. When they told me that they had almost cried I knew that I was in for an emotional and unforgettable episode.

So I just saw the episode and it was a great one. I mean there was so much going on that it was all hard to take in. With episodes like this I find it amazing how these writers are so good at what they do that they make us the viewers actually feel what the characters are going through in the show. There was competition at work, the mourning of a loved one, guilty conscience and the everyday struggle of trying to keep work and play separate. It was a sad episode for me because you had Dr. Bailey see and old man loose his wife when she is herself is trying not to loose her loved one, then you had Izzy having all these flashbacks of her previous fiance while she is trying to save a man who never got his heart transplant because she had stolen it a while back for her fiance who unfortunately died anyways, and finally you had the interns and surgeons fighting there way to win the prized "solo" surgery because of course they want to be the best they can be.  I just threw a bunch of information at you, sorry about that but that's the most concise summary that I can come up with and it was what touched me the most. Here is a video that shows you a little bit of everything that went on:
