No one has broken my heart more than Shonda Rhimes; the genius behind Grey’s Anatomy. I had known of the show but never watched more than a couple episodes. I was sick one day and began channel surfing when I came across a "Grey’s" marathon on Lifetime. I decided to see what the show was all about. 2 weeks later, I had watched every single season that was on Netflix. If you’re anything like me, you feel like you have been personally victimized by Shonda Rhimes. Let’s take a not so lovely stroll down memory lane of some of the most heartbreaking things to happen on "Grey’s Anatomy."
1. Denny Duequette
The moment Shonda decided this beautiful soul was going to die was the moment I realized I could no longer trust her. This was also the moment I realized whenever "Chasing Cars" begins to play in "Grey's," it's inevitable something bad is about to happen.
2. "Drowning on Dry Land"
The most heartbreaking part of this episode was watching McDreamy think that he was about to lose the love of his life.
3. Burke Leaving Cristina
No one saw this coming. If anything, people thought Cristina would be the one to leave Burke. It looked as though the scene was leading up to Burke checking on Cristina and making sure she was okay, but that thought was quickly shot down when Burke looked at Cristina and said, "I'm sorry."
4. Izzie & Cancer
When Denny said "I'm here for you, Izzie." and you finally understood what he meant, it was definitely a moment when your heart drops to your stomach.
5. Derek Hitting The Ring
If you're just as obsessed with Grey's as me, you feel as though you're a part of Meredith and Derek's relationship too. When Derek hit the engagement ring into the woods right in front of Mer, it's basically like he hit a part of your heart along with the ring. But, a couple episodes later, Derek proposed in a very McDreamy way so I'll let this one slide.
6. John Doe is 007
Personally, George was a favorite character of mine. The second Meredith realized George was John Doe, I started crying Justin Timberlake a river. The elevator scene with George and Izzie had me screaming at the TV. In conclusion, season 5 made me an emotional wreck.
7. The Plane Crash And Its Aftermath
This episode had everyone on edge. Lexie and Mark were easily one of the favorite couples on the show. It was crossing the line to kill off Lexie, but then Mark too?
8. Baby Bailey
Seeing Cristina and Derek run down the hallway to Meredith really made me appreciate their friendship even more than I did.
9. Jackson and April's Baby
When Jackson and April's baby was diagnosed with type two osteogenesis imperfecta, it meant the baby would only survive for a couple hours, if at all. Seeing them hurt how they did, really made you feel like they were your friends going through it.
10. McDreamy
Words can't begin to describe how much this absolutely killed Grey's Fans. Why couldn't he just have been sent off? He could've gone to be Cristina's partner in crime, or literally anything would've been better.
11. Arizona and Callie Fighting For Custody
It may just be be because this story line hit close to home for me, but this episode made my heart skip a couple beats.
