The one person who is always there for Meredith Grey now that is Alex and he is there by her side once again. As Meredith is getting treated, Alex leans down and gives her a kiss on her forehead that is going to have everyone wondering what is going on with him. A lot of viewers love the idea of these together, but it is hard to tell if they will ever go there. Could he be falling for her or was this just a friendly kiss between friends?

It turns out that Denzel Washington is actually the one who will be directing this episode. Kelly McCreary, who plays Mer’s half-sister Maggie, spoke out about this scene saying “It is as terrifying and as shocking as you would expect for it to be. Get ready to have your guts feel like they’re coming out of you, because it is truly harrowing.”

E! Online shared a bit more about what the cast had to say about Meredith Grey’s attack that is coming up on the show. James Pickens Jr. shared about how this attack will bring the doctors closer together. They have been through a lot over the years and this is just one more challenge for this team of doctors.

“It makes us realize how much of a family Seattle Grace really is and how in times of trauma and times of turmoil, how you come together for the common good. In this case, it’s saving her life, basically.”

Sarah Drew actually shared her thoughts on this episode with Meredith as well.

“She is totally powerless in the midst of it. I think that probably is the most terrifying piece of it for her.”
