Grey's Anatomy - Richard and Ellis - 3.14

"And you there every night to come home to..." Aww, I really love this.

Ok, so this is not a Burke-Cristina scene. But this scene is just so moving, it brought tears to my eyes, and I can't help but share it with the world. Really, really amazingly BEAUTIFUL scene. I love Kate Burton and James Pickens.

Does she not hav Alzheimers anymore? She remembers evafin... im from UK so havnt seen season 3. But its as if she hasnt got Alzheimers anymore?

[burkeyanglove]

One day she woke up lucid.

[LiSaDiNgEs]

You´re absolutly right. Kate Burton is wonderful und she must get an Emmy for this brillant acting.

[burkeyanglove]

Yeah. She and Sandra Oh are the best actresses Grey's Anatomy has, and both of them are underrated.

[JoshFi]

I smell an Emmy! Kate Burton is such an underrated treasure.

[burkeyanglove]

I so agree with you.

Screw Adele. Richard should have left her for Ellis

[Yammo07]

I think this is one of the most saddest scenes in Grey's, because Ellis is a woman still wounded by the past, even when she knows she has bigger things to worry about.

Everyone wishes they could "go back" and "do everything so differently".

But what is so touching is how Richard gives Ellis the one (and only) thing he could give her: the fantasy of a reality that could have been. And I think it was the best memory she could cling on to before receding back into her Alzheimer's.

GREY'S FTW

This is the last scene that Ellis is lucid in. I feel sorry for Meredith because the last time they spoke while she was lucid they were fighting and when she tries to reconcile with her mother, her lucidity is gone.

One of the best scenes on GA ever!

[KipunaJ]

I love this scene, one of the best on Greys anatomy ever (: <3 Kate Burton is a exellent acterss.

Is something cut from this? I could swear that someone said something about 'we could walk around naked' and it seemed kind of out of place... anybody else? Anybody?

[PassionsLover23]

Screw Adele and Addison. Richard and Ellis belonged together just like Derek and Meredith belong together.

[FilledSpace]

Lucid, it's a rare thing where she comes out of her state of Alzheimers for a short period of time but it doesn't last.

[kpana8114]

I don't get Ellis she was nice to Cristina, and to Richard, but all she did was criticized Meredith and call her ordinary. Ellis was lucid for the first time in what years. Couldn't she had use her lucidity to be nice to her daughter for god sake, instead of wasting it disapproving of Meredith. I love Ellis but I want to beat the crap out of her, just because she was mean to Meredith for no reason.

[PassionsLover23]

Richard and Ellis seem like Derek and Meredith.

[Lori2279]

wasn't there more about saying they miss the kids but they're secretly glad they're gone because they can run around naked?
