Bathtub scene broke my heart into a million pieces for Owen. Tremendous scene. Could actually understand why Cris so haunted. But knowing she leaves him anyway and then watching her leave made me sick to my stomach. Owen was so wonderfully supportive, advocated for her, and there for her, and she leaves anyway. Now I'm even more glad he didn't go running to her in MN.

kevin mckidd and sandra oh killed that bathtub scene. WOW! I still think there is hope for them. It is going to be a long long road in tiny bits and pieces... i dont expect any resolution before end of season 9

loved this episode- i think the bathtub scene brought more opening up to CO than we've seen in most of S8. Owen was so tender and loving with her, and Cristina broke my heart. I love that she opened up to him.
One step forward, three steps back. Why is Meredith Cristina's person again? Or have we all finally come to the realization that more than one person can be your person! (say that three times fast!)

I think that is where we are going eventually. I think all of the things Mer says to Cristina in the voicemail are the things Cristina needs to find again this season. That bathtub scene is the opening up , and Owens statement to Callie that he won't get cristina back is the anvil that he will. I'm very curious to see how they do this.

I haven't watched the episode and I won't even bother. Thank you COforever again for uploading the scene. You're a life savior.
I have though watched the bathtub scene and the one with Callie and Owen. I subscribe to the person who already said it: I am glad that Owen did not go after her in MN.
There is nothing but absolutely nothing that Owen wouldn't do for her. He was ready to put everything on hold her for, just to help her get better, he was there every step of the way to take care of her... It's heartbreaking to watch him being dumped again and even more heartbreaking to hear that even after all this Cristina still considers Mer her person (how stupid and immature that concept is).
Shonda manages to kill week by week the relationship between Cristina and Owen. By the end of the season, there won't be much left to save.
The plots are becoming so soap-opera like that it's just ridiculous. 4 days without sleep just makes me laugh how unrealistic it is. Sandra and Kevin both deserve more than (great acting from both of them in that bathtub scene). I'm waiting for the day when they will leave this show together..SR doesn't do them justice, as actors and for the Cristina/Owen relationship they've built on screen for all these seasons.

Cristina stayed awake for 4 days looking after every other person. Her scenes with Owen were so sad but if it were me I couldn't be near that hospital or any of those people for a very long time.

No one said she has to go back to work there. In fact that is the last thing she should do.
She needs time to heal. And running away after such a short time after the rescue is not the solution. In fact it's the worst thing she could do. Owen wasn't even in the plane crash. He was the guy who helped her start to come back.

I'm seriously tired of this, I mean do we have to go in circles, repeating the same storylines over and over? Can't we just move on? There are plenty different dramatical stories to tell. I'm tired of watching Cristina with PTSD, Cristina healing from PTSD, then suffering from PTSD again, Meredith being her person, then not being her person, then again being her person. This "one step up two steps back" situation is ruining the show.
We had plenty of breaking moments through the seasons and still nothing changed, if neither death, disease, shooter, plane crash, or whatever else make them growth, what is the point? We're not in the first seasons. I've started to think eventually SR wants to show us that whatever happens to you, you don't change.

The only line that actually made sense was when Meredith told Cristina that she is the same person who came in riding on a bike 5 years ago!!! They have ruined Cristina's character so much.. I don't see how they can fix this. And I also agree that good he didn't go running after her to MN.. This relationship just keeps going down!! The whole season of Romance, I dont think Shonda can do it decently enough considering so much damage has been done!!

I was enjoying the episode up until Cristina's phone call back to Meredith.
I'm struggling to remain positive, but I'll confess: a huge part of me is ready for Owen to just say "I'm so through with this toxic person and this toxic relationship..." The man is obviously willing to sacrifice everything for Cristina... and she doesn't even see him anymore.
(And as for the bathtub scene... I know I'm not the only person who got completely distracted in her heart-breaking monologue to say to the TV set: "... but what about that stream you and Meredith strolled past in the plane crash episode? Why didn't you drink out of that?" It's led me to a certain epiphany. The folks in the Shondaland writer's room simply don't WATCH the shows, do they?)

So now Meredith is 100% sure she is Cristina´s person and always will be.
Owen only knows Cristina left him and he and his love and care for her wasn´t enough to make her stay.
Pretty cruel from Shonda, right? I bet she is planning some more torture for Owen, some more darkness is coming soon. She is not finished. Moving him to Derek´s trailer in the woods, that´s just the first step to who knows what. Season of romance for Owen? No way. JMHO

I am aware of PTSD being a serious health issue which keeps coming back, but to see Cristina being back there because of another tragedy is just too unrealistic to handle. On the contrary, Owen is no longer suffering from it, so it seems. One thing I give credits to Meredith is her saying to Cristina that it is always only her being her own person, and her being the loner b***h from Season 1 is exactly what we have seen in 901! Perfect regression! I loved Callie, how she told Owen they will make a plan for him to get Cristina back and how he tried to help her with Arizona. What a beautiful friendship bond these two have!The scene between CO was beautifully acted, but I loved the scene between Owen and Callie more, acting wise,but also because of the script more.

tania and oystersandco have already said most of what I'm thinking after watching the episode.
The scene where Owen walks into Cristina's room and immediately releases her restraints and holds her, and the bathtub scene of course, were the only parts of the episode I "liked" - - although it's hard to "like" a scene with dialogue that leaves you with mental images of Cristina drinking her own pee and of Lexie's body being eaten by wild animals. Both Sandra and Kevin were brilliant in that scene.
But for me, "you're my person - - you've always been my person" from Cristina to Mer was the last nail in the coffin. I no longer believe that there is any credible way for Shonda to bring Cristina and Owen back together. I'm not saying she won't do it; I'm just saying that for me the underlying relationship has been so damaged that I don't think even Kevin and Sandra will be able to make me believe that the characters can truly be reconciled.
I don't even have the heart to really comment about the rest of it. The choppy, self-conscious, editing to make the story jump back and forth between the different injured doctors. The idea that it took four days to locate the wreckage and rescue the survivors AND that somehow Mark and Arizona (and even Derek) survived that long delay given the state of their injuries. The absurdity of having someone go from being virtually catatonic to starting a fellowship at a top hospital in a matter of weeks at most. The contrived nonsense of having a general ortho surgeon (however talented she may be) operating on the hand of a top neurosurgeon rather than having a specialist do it, and of having a Peds fellow amputate his mentor's leg . . . I could go on and on but it wouldn't accomplish anything.
The show has lost whatever minimal claim to credibility it ever had. All I'm seeing now is some good actors (in addition to KMK and SO, there's Justin Chambers, Sara Ramirez, Jim Pickens, Chandra Wilson and lately IMO Patrick Dempsey) trapped in a badly written over-the-top soap opera. Yuck.

And not one single drop of affection left for Owen, which is even worse.
Four days? Not even in the tropical rainforest.

Come on! it is an small injury that gets cured in 4 days tops! .... are you implying that the writers are inconsistent? Plllllllease!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ok, ignoring the obvious inconsistencies and the back and forth in time (that I didnt find appealing), I liked the episode. Obviously the scenes between Owen and Cristina were perfect and heartbreaking. (is there any scene that those two cannot master?) I hate that they didnt gave it even a minute to say goodbye together, at least to show a little bit of caring from Cristina to Owen. (I am not saying that didnt happen off screen but I need it ON screen). I liked Arizona SL, and even when most people is hating her reaction to Karev, I found it very well done. Let's see where this goes in the next epi. Keeping the faith

Let's see where this goes in the next epi. Keeping the faith I'm with you, Betina. Inconsistencies aside, I actually didn't mind the episode. Yes, I would have liked t have scene a goodbye scene or something more from Owen and Cristina on the parting front but it's episode 2. Shonda isn't going to give us anything at season's beginning. To me, Cristina's phone call to Meredith at the end sounded more like her appeasing Mer and at that particular point in time, having run away from everything and everyone I don't think she could honestly think Owen is her person, even if deep down she wants him to be. I thnk the season will be (yet again) about healing and trying to find their way back to each other. Does feel like we're going around in circles and I hate Shonda for it but at the same time, everyone is so different to the characters we knew before on such a confronting level that I am interested to see what is going to happen.
