‘Life changes in an instant. Turns on a dime.’ Callie summed
it up really. And the six doctors enroute to Boise experienced it
personally.
We knew there was going to be one death in the finale. A death
that will change everything. And the one who was killed off turned out to be a
bit of a surprise.
It didn’t take long though. Just a few minutes into the
episode and we could see Christina, Meredith and Mark nowhere close to dying. Arizona
was injured, yes, but looked like she would survive. Derek was lost. He had
been sucked out of the plane and was nowhere to be seen.

However, it was Lexie who was hit the hardest. Lying in a
heap under tons of plane debris, one look and you could tell it was the end for
her.

What followed were a few minutes of pure agony, as Lexie spent
her dying moments with Mark. Those two had looked like they were supposed to
end up together but death intervened.

Meredith and Christina finally found Derek. He had had his
left hand stuck in a plane part and used a rock to squeeze it out. Wonder what
kind of damage has been done there and if he can even do surgical procedures
come Season 9.
Mark has a cardiac emergency which the other three doctors
take care of.

There is another doctor leaving Seattle Grace-Mercy West,
Teddy Altman. She has been offered a better position elsewhere and although she
wanted to stay to help Owen, he encourages her to go.
Bailey has agreed to marry Ben, but how that long-distance
relationship will work out remains to be seen.

| The doctors, cold and injured |
To cut it short, the finale didn’t live up to the hype it
had generated. It left all ends hanging loosely. The doctors are still stuck in
the forest, cold and injured. Who among them will survive? Will there be
another death in the season 9 premiere? Arizona is looking like a candidate as
she was seen spitting out blood. Grey’s Anatomy Season 8 could not have ended
on a grimmer note!

I agree that it didn't live up to the hype, maybe not helped by the fact that we knew someone was going to die before the ep even started, and we knew it could only be one of very few people given the new info regarding contracts etc. I also think that there's a chance it could be bye bye for Arizona too which would just be so sad, I loved lexie so much, I don't think I could take it if arizona left too!

I think we were taken off guard by Lexie's death. I had always sort of expected Arizona would be the one to go. Anyway, everything else in the finale got overshadowed by the death. None of us wanted to believe Lexie would die, I guess. Not to mention that it has put Mark in a very doubtful position in the show. What will his storyline be now that Lexie is gone?
