Honestly the more I think about it being told he is her person would probably mean more to Owen than hearing I love you because of the messed up cris/mer dynamic. I am glad we are seeing the shift of cris and mer being more involved in their relationships with their partners than each other as I have always thought their co-dependence on each other is unhealthy.

He's the one core person ala crash that TPTB have not focused on in great numbers. His story time is coming. And that will be used as a device for C to stand beside him showing him (I think is WORDS plus deed) that she is his person. From that Owen will find strength to not go crazy, LOL. Sorry I didnt get what is TPTB??

If there are 24 episodes this season, then we are already in the second half. I have this strange feeling we might be headed for the finale ala Season 3, Shonda going Burke with Cristina with regard to Owen, remarriage with modifications of course here and there but the main speech - "If I loved you, not the man I ´m trying to make you be, not he man that I hope you become, but you.... I would be letting you go." Just a thought...
She has mirrored a lot of Burke-Cristina scenes already for CO in different ways.

It´s just a thought. For example, it was Owen who moved in with Cristina, not like when she was with Burke, she moved into his apartment, or with the wedding, Burke planned everything, but with her second wedding she planned it, then she got pregnant with both men, followed by abortion and miscarriage. I just thought of these examples and maybe they could remarry again in the finale and something like I described could happen, Owen not being sure about it like Cristina was before her wedding with Burke and so on...
What is more important, I would like to see Owen adopt a baby and be a happy dad. Staying with Cristina, I think he has chosen to live without children. Him being a loving single father would be a terrific storyline completely separated from his relationship with Cristina /if they will have one/, but Rhimes is not interested in developing a storyline for Owen/except Season 5 and some episodes in Season 6/, he is only Cristina´s love interest and so he will be twisted to suit this purpose, over and over again.

I wish nothing more for this season, just one scene between Owen and his mum where she is allowed to speak and say some comforting words to him, support and encourage him. As Debra Mooney´s character died on Scandal as I have read, she is free to be Owen´s mum again.

I hope somebody somehow show him some respect and thank him for all he is doing to save the freaking hospital!

Very funny!! I think the poem actually does raise a question about Grey's. In ends with the writer saying, basically, take your baby out of my sight and don't bring it back until "one of us grows up." Which implies, of course, that the woman who hates the baby is being immature, but that's not the point I'm making here. Shonda keeps talking about how some women melt when you put a baby in their arms, but some don't and Cristina is one of those women. (Of course, that ignores how nice she sometimes is with Zola, but this being Grey's we can't expect consistency, I guess.) I've always been bothered by the emphasis on the "baby" aspect of this, because "babyhood" doesn't really last that long. A lot of people find babies kind of boring (not to mention smelly and demanding), but put up with that temporary stage to get to the real point of it all - - which is raising a person, not changing a diaper. Is Shonda leaving open the possibility of Cristina interacting with a grown child rather that a baby? And could that be the reasoning behind this recurring 10-year old character that sounds, from the sides (which I have now seen) as though he may be interacting with Owen? To me, it seems as though there may be parallels with Mer/Der and marriage. When Shonda was refusing to "give" Mer/Der a legal marriage, her excuse was that Mer was not a white dress/church wedding kind of person. That ignored the point many fans were making, which was that they would be just as happy with a civil service in front of a judge. Which is, ultimately, what they got. Shonda has decided that Cristina doesn't want a baby, and I don't think she'll change her mind on that. But for Cristina to be interacting with a older child, even in a parental role, may not, in Shonda's view, be inconsistent with that. And if it gives Owen the experience of being a father without forcing him to give up Cristina to accomplish that, I think I can live with it!

I have an idea about the finale after Shonda´s ambiguous tweets and I was thinking she might put Owen´s life in jeopardy/danger leaving Ethan and Cristina turning to each other for comfort and support not knowing Owen is alive or dead. I don´t see Cristina bonding with Ethan otherwise. Somebody - Owen must connect them for it to happen.

My hare brain thought tonight is that Burke shows back up in some form for a guest appearance. Yeah, it's 4:45am. I know I should be in bed sleeping instead of dreaming up spec that sends shivers down some spines.

Random Thought... If Owen is torn apart from this boy... or if C and O fight about kids again...I can see Owen going to Syria to help these doctors out. Very ER but very dramatic.

Ooooo! Mesilla, you may be on to something there... (or maybe they'll ship off April that way, since she was shown as making the largest emotional investment...)

Ha! If we were watching ER... even with its over the top plots, it was a much much much better written show, sigh.
It's an interesting idea that could work for a few episodes or as a permanent exit for Kmk - no news about his contract, right? Not sure about the chances of someone diagnosed with severe PTSD being allowed in any kind of mission like DWB, but Shonda has never cared for such small details.
I don't agree with the "torn apart" angle, it is not like Owen is expecting to raise Ethan or to be his legal guardian. He knows the boy has at least a grandmother. Sure, he may feel sad and such, but torn apart is too strong. But I do agree the whole point of this plot is to put the kids issue on the table again.

Agreed! I've got high hopes for this year's season finale. Probably unwisely so, but I can't imagine the writers choosing to take Cristina backwards after all of the deliberate character growth we've seen for her during the course of Season 9.

I want to see it happen to be honest. This is my wish for the finale.I think the boy will be torn away from Owen either by the grandmother adopting him or Shonda will do something to the boy and he will die.
