After thinking about it, I wonder if they did this episode because Ellen Pompeo has a new baby. In early season six, they had several episodes in a row with little Meredith so that Ellen Pompeo could have maternity leave. Makes me hopeful that we'll see the next few episodes highlighting the other characters.
