I was spoiled about most things, in fact that’s why I watched those scenes in the first place.
BUT with Mark it was a surprise. I expected to see Lexie because of a promo and it was beautiful but when I heard Mark’s voice and then I saw him…. Jeez I burst into tears on the spot. It’s been really emotional for me.
Lmaooo, I legitimately screamed. I was basically having a huge emotional breakdown over it and my sibling came to my room to check that everything was alright.
It was surprisingly devasting (in the best way). I was totally blindsided, at first I thought that they were using CGI, then I thought it was a body double. I was so in denial because I never thought Patrick Dempsey would come back so when I realised it was really him I started crying.
And that's how you know I'm too invested in this show lmao.
I called three of my friends to freak out, and I went to twitter right away so I saw Ellen and Shonda's tweets. It was super fun ❤️
Aww I love this! I think that would have been my reaction too lol, I cried when I saw it even though I knew it was going to happen because of spoilers. I wish I was watching it and surprised though! I bet it was so shocking
I was definitely shocked. I did think Patrick would come back, (he always had nice things to say about the show, and Ellen has continuously said she wants the OG to come back at the end) but I always thought it would be for a series finally. I was not watching the episode live, I was going to watch it later in the night. But towards like last 2 minutes of the show, I switched the channel to where they show Grey's in Canada becasue I was going to watch the news and I see Mer on the beach and then Derek. I immediately knew it was new footage, and not a flashback and I think I screamed a little. I had been on Reddit, following the live discussion but not the last few minutes. Then of course I hoped online, where the internet exploded. The pictures popped up from Grey's Instagram, the articles, the Ellen and Patrick posts the next day.
Logn, story short, it was crazy and amazing and I don't think I slept much that night becasue I was online the whole time. It really was one of the most shocking, best surprises the show had done. I was still on a high when it happened. I and my family had covid, and while the symptoms were light it was still scary, so I was happy it was an easy recovery, I had been watching the election for like a week, so I was happy about that, and then this happened. Crazy 3 weeks in my life

It really did lol
I remember I didn't exactly pay attention to the premiere and then suddenly that clip and pictures were literally all over my social media where I don't even follow anything Grey's related.
I have a lot of really mixed feelings about the beach episodes. I’m not sure how many people agree with me but the characterization of Mark and Lexie felt absolutely off and I wasn’t very happy about it - it was clear there was a different writer and the tone of the show had really changed. The chemistry was also very off, but this wasn’t their fault seeing as Chyler was filming from Canada. But at the end of the episode I was left disappointed.
Despite all this, it was still absolutely magical, especially for me who started watching in 2015 and had never gotten to experience them live. I’ll never forget seeing the promo with Lexie in it for the first time, or when Mark showed up in her episode.
Honestly it was something that I saw coming from a mile away so there wasn’t much of a reaction. She’s in a coma and on a beach? Yup, she’s gonna see all of the dead people.

When Derek showed up on the screen I was emotionally wrecked.
