Ok well Im hoping all of you are enjoying your Easter Eggs today
Here are a few of the spoilers out there at the moment (Im sure Ive missed a few if I have please add below) Jen in San Jose, Calif.: Please tell me more about Cristina and Owen on Grey's Anatomy! The Grey's Anatomy season finale features two characters at a military recruiting office. Wait a minute, Owen's not leaving Cristina and Seattle Grace for another enlistment in the U.S. Army—right?! "Hunt [will start to] see something in George that no one else has," McKidd said. "There's an event that happens and [Hunt] realizes there's a lot more to him... that he has a set of skills that maybe he isn't even aware of. And Hunt starts to mentor him in a way that gets really interesting." Casting call [SARAH] 60s, Caucasian, Irish looking, working class mom...GUEST STAR He’ll be focusing on himself for a while. He and Cristina will very reluctantly realize they have to separate, which is hard because they’re really, really involved with each other. But they know they have to have some time apart. It’s going to be pretty emotional. He’s having to heal himself. They’re so clever, these writers. Some episodes you think it’s so light and fluffy, but they’re ratcheting up the emotional stuff a lot in the last part of the season. And that’s good television. At the end of this season there’s going to be a big curveball for Owen and Cristina that neither of them see coming. Just as he starts to get over his thing, something else happens. Which is good and bad. It’s like, Oh my God, this is big. It will be interesting to see how it leads into next season. Question: Are Cristina and Owen really done on Grey's Anatomy? I actually will be in mourning if that one bites the dust. It is the first interesting plot in a while. --Elise Ausiello: They're far from over. As Kevin McKidd himself told EW's Jennifer Armstrong, the exes will be thrown "a huge curveball that neither of them see coming. Just as he starts to get over his thing, something else happens. Which is good and bad. It's like, 'Oh my God, this is big.' It will be interesting to see how it leads into next season." Any guesses as to what the curveball is? Come on, it shouldn't be that hard to figure out. Think. It's bad and good. You can do this! Modified to add : also another spoiler to add to the mix Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd), work on their intense relationship, which has been sidetracked by his post-traumatic stress disorder. Oh says viewers will see more of Cristina's sensitive side (100th celebration article) Ok time to speculate how are the last few episodes going to pan out for C/O I know a few of you have made suggestions already...but at the end of it we can look back on this thread and see who was the closest ~ give it your best shot

Any guesses as to what the curveball is? Well at least we know he'll respond quickly to therapy. There aren't nine episodes left ! That's kind of a relief. I'm sure the curveball is that Cristina is pregnant. And I do think she'll have the baby. But she will some severe problems (cue: Addison) and there will, no doubt, be an emergency C section, with additional complications for the baby (cue: Arizona). Lots of drama to be had in this story, just in time for November or February sweeps. She'll probably have to deliver in Owen's baby blue truck while stranded somewhere.

I also think that the C/O curveball is Cristina's pregnancy. I can't think of anything else that fits with what we've seen that could be both bad (timing) and good (proof of their love), and continue into next season.
Debra Mooney has been cast as Sarah, Owen's mother, for the season finale. She's not who I pictured as Owen's mom, but I'll reserve judgment until I see her in the role. My prediction is that, unlike Burke's mother, she she will find Cristina as special as Owen does.
I'm sure George enlists in the military. I just hope if he must leave, he just goes away and nothing bad or tragic befalls him.
I'm going out on a limb and predicting that Izzie survives her cancer and she and Alex get married. I think the outcome of Izzie's cancer depends on whether KH is leaving or staying.
I think Meredith and Derek get married before the end of the season, and they have a small wedding on Derek's land or go to the courthouse.

It pains me to agree with both of you about the Cristina pregnancy idea. I still say it's ridiculous and OTT sudsy. But this is GA so there you have it.
I would say Cristina will be pregnant and carry the baby until February sweeps. Probably something dramatic in its birth. Hopefully not as lame as her having it in Owen's truck. The whole idea of a pregnancy to sort of 'hurry along' Owen's recovery cheapens the PTSD storyline for me. I don't think Owen needs another reason to get better. He loves Cristina and he's looking towards the future already. As Marcy stated in another thread, it's not just the night terrors he has to deal with. It will take a long time for Owen to get to a place where he can successfully manage his illness. There will be setbacks if the writers deal with this correctly.
I would say Izzie survives for now. Depending on what KH and Co want to do, she may have a relapse and die next season. I can see her and Alex getting married too.
What I was hoping for in regards to the curveball involved George and Owen's mother. The timing is crazy but I can see George going off to Iraq and getting killed. I know we have the army recruiter spoiler but Geogre could just as easily join other organizations serving in danger zones-like Doctor's Without Borders-and wind up in harm's way. As for Owen's mother... It would be nice to think that mama Hunt would take to Cristina. I could as easily see her seriously resenting Owen's secrecy however. From the position of wondering why her son did not trust her enough to accept him even in his altered state. Versus his logic that coming home broken was almost worse than not coming home at all.

I am also really starting to believe there will be a pregnancy, though I think it will be entirely a different experience than with Burke. I would like think that Cristina will tell Owen before telling Meredith, and I also hope that they are back together by the time they figure it out. Maybe that's when Owen's mother comes in to the picture? Does he take Cristina to meet his mother to tell her about what's been going on, the (potential) baby, etc. ? I can also see her keeping the baby, but not as a way to 'fix' Owen. That entirely depends on how he responds to therapy, etc. It might be Cristina's only chance to have a baby considering her circumstances, so I'd like to see her go through it while kind of facing the trauma she had with the last pregnancy. Depending on how they play this out it can be forgiving that its a recycled storyline, though they seem to be going forward and backward with Cristina and Owen at a pace that normal couples take years to get to.
I have a feeling Owen's mom will like Cristina. Cristina's had bad luck with mothers, even her own who is so much like Beth it would kind of be cool if Owen's mom is like Cristina in a different way than Meredith says Ellis is like Cristina. Most of the military families I know, including my best friend, are very conservative and Cristina is not, I wonder if there will be some conflicts there. Owen is very traditional, but we don't really know much about his views, etc.
I think George's exit will be a rough thing for Owen, maybe it will be one of the catalysts that bring Owen and Cristina back together. I can totally see Izzie and Alex getting hitched. As for meredith and derek, i can see them not getting married in the finale, because of maybe something that happens with her father, but maybe they still get married in the season premiere of season 6?

Agreed, Cristina is pregnant. It's soapy so it works on that level. Yet, as I said to Rural, a baby would further cause Owen to continue with treatment. I can see when the treatment becomes difficult, that Owen would think he'll never get better and that Cristina deserves someone else. However, with a baby in the picture, he'll have to continue healing for his child's sake. I just don't want to see some crappy cliffhanger like Cristina holding an EPT stick and we have to wait til Sept. to see what it says.
I like the Doctors Without Borders idea of Rural's. That way George doesn't have to join the military per se. And it puts focus on a real and important organization as GA tends to do with causes and situations. I hope TK bails. He's both a great comedic and dramatic actor who deserves so much more than he's getting. Perhaps he survives and returns periodically to GA. That way it bridges the way for the actor to go onto other things as well as portraying another type of more visible war wound than Owen's.
I'd imagine that Izzie and Alex will marry at the season finale in the hospital chapel. Regardless if she dies Alex will want her to be/have been officially his wife. Cris/Owen would be there to wonder how marriage for them might be possible. I bet Izzie's demise isn't until next season. I don't know about Cristina's baby delivered in a truck, but I'm sure there will be problems throughout the pregnancy which involve another Addison crossover etc as was stated previously.

Cristine's character had an ectopic pregnancy before right so do you think if she does fall pregnant that this time she will keep/hold or loose the baby again.....?

Well i think Owen and Cristina are more revisionist, meaning they are going about everything the right way even though they seem to jump steps, etc. So I think the baby will work out, however it would be interesting to see Cristina's reaction if she ends up really wanting the baby and how she and Owen deal with it. I dont think she's recovered fully from her miscarriage and it would kind of be an interesting way for her to face some of her demons too.

I think Cristina has a bun in the oven too but I don't think it's a plot contrivance. How many people for get birth control in the heat of the moment? Doesn't make them stupid, does make them human. I see it as a natural consequence of doing what comes naturally. If anyone saw the Mating Dance of the Ages, I think the LAST thing on anyone's mind was birth control.
If they LOVE, I don't see how they could fail to love something created out of that love and/or pieces of each other. I just can't see anything else.
It's hard for me to predict where Hunt's head will be because I am not familiar with his patterns like we are with Cristina. I live in hope that he will keep his eyes on the prize back to Her and not take any weird guilt side head trips (been reading too much fanfic, although I am totally in love with the one where they leave notes on each other's lockers or taped to the Vent Room door).
I agree that Cristina now having a mild ptsd herself needs to see Wyatt (is it?) herself although someone will probably have to drug her drink and let her wake up hog-tied to Wyatt's couch.
Izzie will live because dang it, Alex deserves SOME kind of reward for the awesome work he's done this season. He has loved her kind of from the beginning, through Denny and now through cancer. Even if people hate Izzie, Alex deserves some love about now.
Mer and Der will inevitably tie the knot, don't care how or when. I'm only mildly interested.
Mark and Lexie will probably go on along because since they made Calle bat for the other team even though she and Mark have more on the ball, to me, Mark and the Toddler (not player hatin' because I think they're kind of cute. Like Der's mom said they are about on the same level emotionally, Lexie may even be more mature).
Hopefully, the Chief and Adele will fertilize that one egg and there'll be babies all round.
Seattle Grace will come up from level 12 some but not too soon as the fight to regain lost place is a better story than bouncing back to the top right away.
More as I think of it. Good topic.

I, too, think Cris will think differently about a pregnancy this time around. She did go to Burke with every intention of telling him (but we never found out what she was going to say), after Meredith urged her to. I don't remember, at the moment, if it was before or after arranging for the termination. Burke beat her to the punch by telling her they needed to break up so he could concentrate on his "chiefly" aspirations, and she left the on call room without informing him. Later, after the miscarriage, when he asked her what she had intended to do about the pregnancy, she replied that she hadn't planned to keep it, because they were broken up, they barely knew each other, as well as her being an intern. I really think if circumstances had been slightly different then, and she had been able to tell him, she would have tried to carry that pregnancy to term. Burke sounded like he would have wanted that.
In retrospect, Cris is in almost the same situation this time--she barely knows Owen (but has shared some very tender moments with him), currently they are "broken up" (because Owen needs to work on his PTSD), and she's still a very busy resident (but has more of a support system now). Our Cristina has practiced her maternal side a bit more since the last time she was saddled with caring for Bailey's baby. I have my hopes that Cris and Owen will rise to the occasion, if this is what lies ahead.

Everything about Owen and Cristina has been opposite to Cristina and Burke. O/C started with emotional intimacy and then progressed to physical. C/B did it in the complete reverse order. Cristina spent most of her relationship with Burke trying to run scared. Cristina has spent most of her relationship with Owen telling him in no uncertain terms that she's not going anywhere. Burke was whole and healed. Owen is broken.
If there's a baby, my guess is that Cristina will keep it just to make everything come full circle while showing how much everything has changed.

I completely agree Kaz, that's partly why I started making the study vids of Burke and Owen. There are a lot of similarities, but outcomes are completely different. Burke was a self assured person, but was immature in the relationship with Cristina, at least I think so. Owen is mature in the relationship but is emotionally tortured. In some ways I'd say Cristina has a savior complex with Owen, and Meredith, but in a good way, with Owen he tries too hard to protect and ends up hurting them in the end. She didn't have the savior thing with Burke and completely freaked out when he needed her the most. She's definately learned from that. This is why i think a baby would turn out differently for them,she's kind of proven herself to be capable emotionally and nurturing in general.

Even though I initially said I thought the curveball was preg for Chris, I don't think so anymore. I am thinking now that the George storyline is going to be the curveball - starts off good with Owen mentoring George, turns bad when he enlists. That and Owen's Mom - especially if it's a surprise visit. There's enough conflict and arc there to put Owen/Chris (mainly Othrough the wringer and leave us with a season ending cliffhanger.

From your fingers to Shonda's Cl3me.
I still think it's a baby because it seems tptb of this series are just that sudsy in nature. I would much rather it were George and Owen's mother. Anything that throws Owen off track will throw Cris off track. Especially as they try and find their way back to each other during his treatment.

Owen's mother would be more of a curveball for Owen than Cristina, unless his mom comes to the hospital and talks to Cristina first or somthing which i doubt. George would not be as much of a curveball either I think, Cristina and George are not close and never have been. So I am still thinking its a baby because the george situation would not be good and bad, it would just be bad.

The other hint about the bad and good curveball is that it is BIG and can extend into next season. I don't see George's military situation, even if it turns tragic, being a big personal thing for both of them, as in affecting their lives long-term. Owen's mother showing up might be initially uncomfortable, but not bad (unless she's an ogre), and though it does have the potential for good (especially if she likes Cris), to me, it's not an unseen curveball, since in the back of his mind, I'm sure Owen knows he has to eventually reunite with his mom.
The only other bad and good unexpected curveball, besides a pregnancy, that is life-altering and continuing, is a professional opportunity that takes one of them away from SGH, but then that would wreck the show. Plus, we've all been mentioning facets of C/O's relationship that mirror similar events in Burke/Cris's time together--and Cris was pregnant then. Besides, who is the least likely of the Fab 5 to intentionally become a parent, and who would provide more fascinating and comedic mothering than Cristina??! Go watch some North Square if you want to see KMK with babies--heart-melting!

It has to be a pregnancy. We were all content to watch the Victorian courting thing without sex. It was frustrating but fun to watch. Soooo, since the love scene came out of nowhere...pregnancy!

*groans* Yeah, it's pregnancy. Doesn't mean some of us have to be happy about it though. A lightening of the O/C dynamic is not only necessary but inevitable to keep viewers interested. We all love our angst and no one does it better IMO than Kevin. That aside, Owen needs to heal and Cristina needs to pull out her own demons and examine them a bit more closely. I want to see lighter moments but I prefer the more realistic approach we've been given with this pairing. I'm aggravated by the contrived nature of a pregnancy arc and what it will do to the serious subject of PTSD, which they have been handling well for the most part. I know it's a soap opera and the contrasts between O/C and Cris/Burke are obvious for past viewers. I'm a newbie and I honestly don't care to directly follow that old arc. *shrugs* I'll get over it.

As long as she doesn't keep the baby to "Fix" Owen, I think that Cristina will surprise us though, if this is the way they're going. Most of O/C so far has been poignant and very mature so i dunno but considering the histories with the finales its anyone's guess.
