Meredith’s dad returns to make amends, but it’s the chief’s apology that counts the most.
Meanwhile, Izzie’s mother shows up to “help” her through her cancer treatment.
Anybody else now anxiously awaiting their invite to the Mer-Der nuptials?

He said it was better than that, and took her to a patient.
She fell out of a tree and broke all her limbs, he told her.
Her response: Oooh, thisisbetter.
Another reason we love ourGreys: dark-and-twistiness.
Did we kill anyone lately and dont remember?
Meredith asked Lexie, wondering what the urgent matter was.
But the Chief simply wanted to beg the ladies to hear their dad out.
They (begrudgingly, in Merediths case) did, and then Meredith declared coldly, Congratulations.
She calmly left, leaving Lexie to hug it out with the dad who didnt abandonher.
Things just got more parent-tastic from there when Sharon Lawrence showed up as Izzies mom.
The first thing out of her mouth: Excuse me, young and yummy doctor.
Yeah, that was to Alex.
Awwwkward, once again.
Thats great, Izzie sighed.
A psychic with Internet access.
Mom was a little worried, though, because shed watched an episode ofTyra(brilliant!)
about a girl whose cancer started with a mole on her privates: It was bad.
She was bald and everything.
I shot him lots of times and we realize the father had been abusive to his family.
Meredith snapped when the mother wanted to take the girl in to apologize to her dad before surgery.
I couldnt help thinking,What the hell kind of hospital lets this happen?
Meredith, naturally, immediately stalked off to tell Derek she wanted to disinvite the Chief from their wedding.
Thats pretty much Bride Rule No.
This scan has to be good, she repeated.
And, of course, we knew she was a liar.
Other family conflicts festering about the hospital resolved themselves nicely, for the most part.
Mark showed up to meet Thatcher for Lexie.
Bye, Daddy, the little girl said.
Well take that head on the shoulder and all that back rubbing as sign that she accepted his apology.
Owen and Cristina, well, they were another story.
By the time he barked a nice work today as they left for the night, Cristina lost it.
Seriously?…Take care now?
A choke-em-and-leave-em kind of guy?
(Ouch, incidentally.)
God, who doesnt love a tortured couple?
I could be wrong, but I think these two blow Mer-Der out of the water in emo-liciousness.
And apparently Meredith will let the Chief come.
So Ill be checking the mail for my invite, too.
What do you think,Greyswatchers?
How do you feel about Derek and Meredith finally tying the not (sort-of, maybe, anyway?)
Are you more worried about Izzies help with the wedding or about her health?
Are Cristina and Owen the most emotionally wrenching couple of all time?
