Under Pressure/Grey Matter

Supervising Producers Gabrielle Stanton and Harry Werksman on "Under Pressure"
Original Airdate: April 24, 2006
Shhhhh…. All our doctors are sleeping. It’s been a very long season and they needed a nap…
Just kidding. Kinda. We can’t believe we’re finally shooting the season finale. 27 original episodes this season! Putting together this show, we were once again struck by how much really good, serious stuff happens every week. Did anyone notice that there wasn’t a whole lot of medicine in the clip show? That’s because there wasn’t time! If you didn’t see one of your favorite moments, remember, we only have 42 minutes to tell our story. Some of our favs didn’t make it either. But every clip that made it in, made it in for a reason – to set up the final five episodes of season two (the last two episodes will air on one night as a two hour finale!). All you long-time loyal fans are in for one amazing ride.
Meredith and Derek. Wow have these two been through it or what? And now they’re going to be friends. Go on dog dates, be supportive of each other… be friends. Really? Can this work? We (the staff) wrote a version at one point where they decided NOT to be friends but then thought, nope, there’s more emotion to mine if they are friends. Right? But just when it seems like everything’s going to settle down and Meredith decides to knit, along comes our hunky vet Finn. Hmmm. Place your bets folks. Friends? Finn? Addison? McDreamy and Mer? Hope the five episodes remaining are enough. You don’t think we’re going to let it get easy for any of them…
There’s going to be lots of excitement and heartache for our other couples too. Burke and Cristina are definitely going to be tested. And Alex and Izzie and Denny are such a sad triangle. How can Izzie possibly chose? Denny is so sweet. But did you see Alex and Izzie with that cupcake? Someone might not be quite as “evil” as he wants everyone to believe. We love George and Callie too. George is Callie’s McDreamy. Who knew?! But is Callie the McLove of George’s life? Can anyone really replace Meredith in George’s heart?
It’s frustrating we know, but we just can’t give you any answers right now. Shonda would kill us! But we hope you enjoyed seeing some of our favorite moments of Grey’s and know that you’re totally up to speed for the final five episodes of season two. Get ready, set, Go!
