Didn't We Almost Have It All

"I think I speak for every woman here when I say, dump her. Dump Yang and marry me."

Season 3 Episode 25. Season finale here!! Lots going on at Seattle Grace! It's wedding day. The announcement for chief is to be made. The last episode ends as the chief finds Adele laying on the bathroom floor, blood spreading all around her. He finds out that she is pregnant.

Cristina's bridesmaids-Meredith, Izzie and Callie- get paged in during her bachelorette party and Meredith tells Cristina, who didn't get paged, that she needs her to go down that aisle.








The fourth mountain climber (the one that the others said was dead) is brought in with an axe in his head. 

The woman who may be giving her babies to Joe and Walter is admitted for surgery for an aortic dissection and Burke must go into surgery despite the fact that it is his wedding day.

George is assigned to Shepherd and Sloan to help with the fourth climber, Meredith is assigned to the chief's wife, Izzie is assigned to the aortic dissection with Burke. Alex spends his day, yet again, with Addison.

The chief stays with Adele all day, contrary to her belief, leaving only to make the announcement about chief. The baby is still alive but it's heartbeat is weak.

Callie and George decide to try and have a baby. After Callie goes on this weird little rant about wanting to have a baby.

Ava's husband comes to get her and Alex is definitely jealous, but he's Alex and he can't tell her how he feels.

Once Derek gets into surgery he realizes that the axe didn't go in by accident. When he confronts the others they lawyer up right away. One of them finally admits to what happened at the end- he had fallen and they thought he would die no matter what so he put the axe in his head to put him out of his misery. And he says that he would do it again.

Mamma Burke helps Cristina get ready for the wedding and shaves off her eyebrows. Cristina 'demands' that Bailey let her cut because she lost her eyebrows to become a Burke.

Burke practices his wedding vows for Addison and Izzie, among numerous other women in the OR, and they all seem to melt at his words. And lemme tell ya, I melt a little every time I hear them, too.
Izzie is still fighting her feelings for George and in the end confesses them to him right before the wedding.

The chief meets with the candidates for chief throughout the episode and one by one we find out who he chose. Not Sloan, not Addison, not Burke. Richard chooses Derek. Derek says Richard should keep the job, he has learned from his mistakes and should have a chance to do everything all over again.

Intern-exam scores come in as everyone is getting ready in the locker room. It seems that everyone has passed (even Meredith who had to take it a second time after not writing a single word the first)! Derek comes in and Izzie and Cristina rush off to the church. Derek tells Meredith that if she doesn't want to be in the relationship anymore she should break up with him, because he can't break up with her. He loves her, but she keeps leaving him and coming back when it pleases her. Meredith can't give him an answer because Cristina getting married is supposed to be a signal to her that she can do it too, so she just says that she has to get the the church.

Once everyone is there, Alex sits next to Addison. When he starts flirting with her, she snaps at him a little and tells him to stop flirting with her and go get Ava, the one he really loves. Alex leaves and we find all the girls getting ready to walk down the aisle at the back of the church.

Izzie asks about George, Callie still suspicious of her, because she cannot see him in the church. That's because he's still at the hospital. He didn't pass his exam. He goes to Bailey, who isn't chosen for chief resident (Callie is!). She tells George that he can either quit or start his intern year over. George never makes it to the wedding.

Adele is rushed into surgery and has a miscarriage. But the good thing that comes from this is that the chief and Adele get back together. Yay! 

Cristina is ready to go down the aisle when she realizes that she scrubbed her vows off when she scrubbed in for surgery. She has a freakout as the processional music starts and Meredith has to talk her down. While she's doing this, Derek starts to go back and then Burke goes instead. Everyone watches him walk back down the aisle and he pauses before going through the door. When he does, Cristina tells him to go back up there and she'd be right behind him.


He tells her that if he really loved her, he wouldn't be making her go through all this. She says 'I really think I want this.' And he says, 'I really wish you knew.'

CRISTINA: "Is the toilet paper cutting off your circulation?"
MEREDITH: "You marrying Burke, it´s a sign. Sign that people like you and me ... can do this. Be healthy, be happy. You marrying Burke restores my faith in... me."
CRISTINA: "Ohhhh I get it. My wedding is about you."
MEREDITH: "Yes."


ADDISON: "I need this job, Richard. I need it more than the others."
RICHARD: "Addison..."
ADDISON: "No, I need a reason to stay here. I need a reason to get up every morning. I need to get up and not care if it's raining or that I'm 39 and alone."
RICHARD: "That's why. If you need a job to get a new life you even need a new job or a new life.


CHRISTINA: "I am wearing the dress. I'm ready. And, and maybe I didn't want to before. But I want to now. I really think I want this."

MARK: "I was an excellent best man."
DEREK: [to Burke] "Worst case scenario, I sleep with your wife in 10 years."


IZZIE: "I am an optimist. I am a fool. I am not sure. Because I'm your best friend, because I love you, if what you want is to be with Callie then I will do everything in my power to support you and help you make your marriage work. But because I'm your best friend, because I love you, I also have to say... that I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you. I can't promise a future, I can't promise perfection, because we're us, I'm me and you're you. no one knows what will happen. But in my heart, I am sure. I'm in love with you George. And I hope you're in love with me too."


CRISTINA: "Did you pass?"
MEREDITH: "You bet your married booty I did." 


ADDISON: "You want Ava."
ALEX: "She's not Ava anymore. She's Rebecca and I barely know her."
ADDISON: "Look at me. Look at me! You suck. To me, you suck. I kind of hate you. But Alex, you do not get unlimited chances to have the things we want. And this I know. Nothing is worse than missing an opportunity that could change your life. No matter what her name is, she'll always be Ava to you."


CRISTINA: "Meredith, please say something, say something! I... I don't know. Say what I would say you if you were me."
MEREDITH: "Okay."
CRISTINA: "Good."
MEREDITH: "Got it."
CRISTINA: "Good. Go."
MEREDITH: "Stop whining. This is your wedding day. You will got on that aisle. You will get married! If I have to kick your ass every step of the way to get you there. You will walk down the aisle and you will get married. Do you hear me Cristina? We need this. We need you to get your happy ending."
CRISTINA: "Okay, I´m ready."


PRESTON: "I'm up there waiting for you to come down the aisle and... I know you don't want to come. If I loved you, I wouldn't be up there waiting for you. I would be letting you go."


CRISTINA: "He's gone."
MEREDITH: "I... I don't think he's gone. Uh... his stuff is still here."
CRISTINA: "No. No. His trumpet isn't here. His entire Eugene Foote collection, vinyls and CD's. His grandmother's picture was by the bed. His lucky scrub cap was hanging on the door. He's gone. I'm.. I'm free. Damn it. Damn it, damn it! Oh God, get this off me! Take this off, take this off! I can't... Help me, help me, help me!"
