Grey's Recap
I intended to join the ranks of everyone freaking about about the Grey's finale, but instead, I stumbled upon Ausiello's interview with Shonda Rhimes (link after the cut).
Talk to me about the decision to have Alex call out for Izzie after he was shot.
RHIMES: I really wanted to find a way to deal with how much Alex is missing Izzie. And it felt really poignant to me that if he was lying on a table dying he’d be calling for her.
Lexie confessed her love for Alex, but some fans aren’t buying it. She didn’t really make a decision between Alex and Mark in that moment, did she?
RHIMES: I don’t think she could have possibly made a decision in that moment. The thing I think is interesting is that Alex definitely made his decision. So I don’t necessarily know that there’s a triangle there. When Alex called for Izzie - when in your hour of need you’re calling for another woman - I think he made his decision. So I don’t think there’s a triangle.
In other words, hope is very much alive for Mark and Lexie?
RHIMES: Yes, there’s definitely hope.
I'm still heartbroken that they didn't reunite during the finale, but I'm holding onto my Lexie/Mark hope, because I think the above basically indicates the end of Lexie/Alex.
I mean, she was terrified. Also, I do think she loves Alex. I think she was just scared. It was the fear talking. Had it have been Mark in Alex's place, I believe it would have played out the same way. Lexie still loves Mark and you cannot tell me otherwise :)
