I wasn't sure if you guys post the epi descriptions here. Did you see the new one for 7.08? It mentions that Cristina will decorate their new home and have a housewarming party. Do you think this is when there might be more singing as KMK mentioned in the chat session? I wonder if it will be Owen again or a group thing. I hope it might be Owen singing to cheer up Cristina. I also hope that Cristina's journey is about her being able to fully have both her career and Owen as she moves forward. It seems we will be getting Owen in his badass teaching mode as he lovingly supports his wife. Love season 7 so far! Hi katleehow, the episode description gets posted in the Spoilers & Tid Bits Only thread but this is the right place for discussion of it. I am interested to see what Cristina's decorating consists of. I don't think she's ever decorated, has she?? Also, you could be right about Owen singing. I hadn't thought of that. Looking forward to the next few episodes, so far.

Since she doesn't care where they live, I dont think she'll care about decorating either. She might just be doing it to keep her mind off stuff at the hospital like with the wedding plans.

Interesting Sneak peeks thanks Shylin Wonder how this move to Africa for Arizona is going to play out .... I know she is off on maternity leave but a trip to Africa kind of makes it quite a final move off set .... wonder how they are going to get her back into the show after this Kateleehow I certainly hope that brings along a bit of Owen/Kevin singing would the ideal event to do that

That would really be wonderful if Owen would sing again. I'll keep my fingers crossed. ;D ;D

I love Scott Foley but I'd much rather see him in scenes with someone more seasoned on the show. Oh well.

Other than Teddy's scenes with Avery it seems like they're building her character's facets this season around guest stars. Interesting considering those are people who won't be around very long. More shades of 'attachment Barbie' or not? Don't know. Just glad to hear it won't be another Denny/Izzie situation. That one still gives me the heebie-jeebies.

That's what Shonda claims, but remember too she said that the O/C/T was not a triangle and it absolutely was. So who knows. I just hope Cristina or Jackson are in most of his scenes with Teddy. I honestly don't care to know anything more about Teddy but apparently the writers have other ideas.

Actually, I think she said it was a triangle but tried to claim it wasn't your conventional one. And I guess it sort of wasn't, in some ways, but as we know still didn't work for alot of people.
Anyway, moving on. I am indifferent about Teddy this season, for the most part. I don't think they've really given her all that much to do and what they have given her has just seemed disconnected from everything else.
I don't mind her having a storyline connected to a patient and I like Scott Foley so I'll be interested to see where it goes. I just hope that they show more of Teddy being the hardass she was in this week's episode rather than the weepy "attachment barbie" from earlier episodes. Give her a bit of consistency, please.

Im not sure if Teddy is so inconsistent, I have a friend who fluctuates between badass and then down right soppy if something happens .. I relate to it so I dont find her to odd. I normally go with the saying I dont try and understand something that doesn't understand itself ...LOL ...but I do find my friend high maintenance ... and I think Teddy would be to.

Haha Leanne, I like your motto. Whatever the justification for Teddy's seeming opposing sides, I do hope they show her succeeding more in the OR and being a stronger character for a while.

I wish they would just write her away already, I mean what long term contribution can she make to the show - its frustrating it really is, but the thing is they seem to have this worry that they need a blonde character on the show for some reason and she matches all the annoying Izzie criteria and more I hate to see an awesome character like Scott Foley being put to waste on bland barbie

Well even if shonda said its a different type of triangle triangle, it was still ended up being the run of the mill love triangle. But what I notice more and more is that they are always having Teddy (or other characters) tell us what she's doing/feeling, etc. instead of having some level of mystery like other characters on the show who you don't always know what their next move will be. They tell us instead of showing us which is what I find the most frustrating aside from the fact that its an inconsistent character altogether.

so do we think Cristina is going to return to form at the end of this week's episode or do we still have some way to go?

Cris won't until episode 11. Sides for episode 11 are about a fire at Washington College. At least 20 victims. There will be reporters etc so Owens truama training next week will prepare them all for this event and I think this is how Cristina may come back big. Shonda likes her full circle.

We need to see a turn around point Its really up to her to decide to take the bull by the horns and make a conscious decision to be better normally PTSD they say takes 6 weeks (I have a friend who went through it and this is the feedback she gave me) that is for the person to start seeing some sort of light at the end of the tunnel (Im not sure of our time-line) but it should be either just past or there about's

so do we think Cristina is going to return to form at the end of this week's episode or do we still have some way to go? I suspect the crap will have to hit the fan in Cristina's consciousness for her to get started healing, as it did for Owen, and I think we'll see the beginning of that this week, but not yet the end of it. He didn't really begin to face that he had a problem until 5.19 really, until then he thought putting on a brave front with everyone but Cristina was the way to go. I also suspect a combination of Roy's health going downhill in 7.7 and that we are headed into sweeps means we will see Cristina face the reality of what happened to her through these next few episodes and it will begin to turn back around for her by the time winter hiatus rolls around. Considering the overt emotion Cristina displays when asked to monitor Roy, to the point of fighting with Meredith and yet handing him off to her friend and exiting the room, paired with her throwing herself into decorating the firehouse means there's going to be some emotional resistance much like when Owen realized Cristina was afraid to fall asleep in his arms. I think Cristina might have to clear the air with Meredith to face her feelings about having gone into that OR to save Derek's life because she knew what it would do to Meredith if she didn't and finding herself facing losing everyone she loves in that room - Owen and Meredith - and her own life in the process. She will also have to break down with Owen, IMO, having believed it wouldn't matter that he came back for her because she believed him to be dead. Kind of a long-winded answer...sorry about that.

Hey Ella! Read your mini rant at YHT. I was going to comment over there but didn't have time then and since many are NSC thought I'd post here especially since we are reveling in the extended scene right now.
That promo bothered me a bit too. Exactly what are TBTB trying to show here. Is their intention to parallel Cristina and Avery's PTSD for a reason other than they were both the best in their groups and now aren't. We have had such a good season storytelling wise for C/O and C's PTSD/Owen's teaching that I hate that I'm letting doubt seep in now at where this SL is headed.
I thought a new doctor(actress from the Transformers movie) was starting soon and was supposed to be involved with Avery. I know Cristina loves Owen but she is all over the place emotionally, etc... Since Cristina is upset with Mer next epi, I wonder will it happen with Owen too or will he remain her rock and safe haven.(I HOPE SO!) I guess we will know more next epi and how C/O interact since C/M may not be doing so well.
ITA that Cristina will have to break down with Owen at some point for her to truly recover. I just don't want Cristina doing something rash or completely OOC even in this PTSD state.
Just wondered what yours or anyone else's thoughts may be on this.

black orchid....
I read some of those sides too. Some were speculating that maybe Cristina might be the doctor who traches someone at the fire and returns to the hospital in the ambulance with her hands holding the patient's heart. Sound familiar?
I kinda hope this is how Cristina makes her way back to surgery. The trache reminds of Owen's heroics when he first met Cristina and the heart is like Cris's father dying as she held his heart in her hands. Maybe she happens to be there when the fire breaks and she jumps in to help this person. The fire thing is interesting since they are living in the firehouse.
Of course, this may have nothing to do with Cristina because I had thought before that when Shonda tweeted about the actress who plays Owen's mom returning that Cris's recovery may be linked to her somehow.
Either way, I can't wait to see how her comeback unfolds as long as she and Owen are still together. Owen continues to be her support and her other person.

It could also be Teddy as the emergency trache doctor but this is the only thing that would sound like a great way for Cristina to come back.
Shonda's twitter
shondarhimes She's coming back and how she comes back ROCKS. RT @ana_Patricio Is Cristina gonne be back, i mean back to who se was??? I miss her.
