If I had to imagine a way to get everyone back, I always thought about a major trauma case where the patient keeps crossing the line between the world of the dead and the living. In the living world, we see our doctors working while in the world of the dead, their specialty-wise counterparts are doing the exact same thing to keep the patient alive. Like Mark would be doing what Jackson's doing, a resident mirrors George, Derek mirrors Amelia, etc. In the heat of the moment, one of the dead doctors mentions Derek's name and then when the patient finally stabilizes, (s)he whispers "Derek" and we get a closeup on Meredith's face.

I think that would be the one of the few ways it'd work on Grey's without feeling like a whole other show, but I'm not entirely sure I want it to happen.
