It's the End of the World

"It's... a look patients get in their eyes. There is a scent, the smell of death. Some kind of sixth sense. When the great beyond is headed for you, you feel it coming. What's the one thing you've always dreamed of doing before you die? Okay, hello? Clearly not my dream. See... I told you. Not my dream."

- Meredith Grey

'''Meredith has a overwhelming feeling she's going to die today - until Cristina forcibly kicks her out of bed. Bailey returns, to deliver her baby as he ends up on Derek's operating table. Meredith's feelings prove true, as a bomb in a body cavity enters the ER.'''

 * Cristina: Yeah, fine, I'm totally supportive. Go.
 * Meredith: OK. The man I love has a wife and then he chooses her over me. And that wife takes my dog—OK, she didn't take the dog, I gave it to her, but I didn't mean to give it to her, I meant to give it to him—but that does not change the fact that she's got my McDreamy. And my McDog. She's got my McLife! And what have I got? -sits up-You know, I can't remember the last time we kissed. 'Cause you never think the last time is the last time, you think there'll be more. You think you have forever, but you don't. Plus my conditioner decided to stop working and I think I have brittle bones. I just-I just need something to happen. I need a sign that things are gonna change. I need a reason to go on. I need some hope. And in the absence of hope, I need to stay in bed and feel like I might die today.
