The plot twist no one saw coming. It's a shame really...other than Derek, Meredith had great chemistry with bomb guy. Would've made hell of a love story.
Trish E. She doesn’t deserve a slap she doesn’t deserve a Pat on the back either but this girls life has barely begun and she freaking out, she had her hand in a bomb for hours, the only other person there who was pumping the ambu bag left her she was reasonably panicked and overwhelmed. It was incredibly selfish was she did but also very understandable.
When the bomb squad guy blew up I had a tear in my eye. You go from thinking he's a jack ass to really liking the guy in a short, short time. I REALLY liked that guy and love his acting.
His name is Kyle Chandler and he is a fantastic actor! He is known for many roles but probably the most is his role as Coach Eric Taylor on the show called Friday Night Lights which aired from 2006-2011). Funny enough this episode of Grey’s Anatomy aired in early 2006 and Friday Night Lights premiered in the fall of that same year.
Dylan was the only death that Shonda regretted. I am with her. He only played in 2 episodes but damn it I love the guy! Easily, him and Denny are tied for my vote to be brought back to life. Lol
that was a stunt double but yes she ended up with a concussion so they had meredith do it but slower. then they ended up just using the clip of the stunt double getting a concussion😂
I remember watching this episode and at first i was like “dang, he’s hot! Ooo new SHIP”, then out of nowhere the bomb goes off and i was just like 😶, why??? 🥺
And this was the moment that I fell in love with this show. They actually dared to show a man blow up in a fiery explosion right in front of the main character. Well done Shonda, most writers wouldn't have dared this shot. Well done.
i still cannot believe that after this everything went back to normal, mer (and the others in the or) experienced something so traumatizing but there is nothing done about it
It’s called plot armor. When you put certain characters in insane situations that should and would end badly but they come out easily it’s just bad writing.
camryn gamble it was designed so if you’re within the blast zone it won’t kill you with shrapnel and may redirect some energy. But when you’re standing or in this case holding the bomb, you’re dead anyways. That’s why most bomb squads don’t go in person unless all other options are exhausted
Maybe. But at the start of the bomb two parter, George was having a fantasy of the girls in the shower but when he saw the reality of things at the end of the bomb story, he realized the truth was not what he thought and he did not want to intrude on the girls helping Meredith who was in shock among other things. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. But that was just a beautiful scene. Where Izzie and Cristina were helping their friend.
nothing could ever prepare me for how this episode ended. i was in absolute shock when I first watched it like holy shit? just like that? music stops and there's the pink dust they talked about.
No matter how many times I see this episode it is as impactful as the first time. And it guts me everytime that after everything, he ended up getting blown up! 💔
this was the best episode in the whole series. i loved the bomb guy and they had amazing chemistry. i would've preferred him as a love interest to her over finn.
Why didn't the bomb squad (which, btw, should have come in a full body armour, including helmets) bring and use one of those blast containment bins? The amo could have been deposed there right after being taken out of the patient.... Also, at the end, why isn't Meredith getting evaluated first and treated, BEFORE shower? She was caught in the blast!
Cuz a bazooka round is way too big for one of those bins. They are meant for smaller bombs. You actually make the explosive more powerful if you confine it because the force would be applied In a smaller area. As for helmets and other gear and such, it's basically useless when the bomb is that close. All it would have done was limit movement. Even if he didn't get hit by shrapnel or caught in the explosion, the concussive blast would have killed him by rupturing his organs internally.
he would've blown up either way no matter how much protective gear he wore. He was literally holding the bomb it wouldn't have mattered. And as for the containment bin thing, it looked like he was walking towards a guy holding one of those.
its like she is getting baptised in the end. relief to have survived, but having survivors guilt... "you did good".... is a phrase that from now on, may cause her to cry for the memory... but also to celebrate her own life, and that of everyone else in the er who survived, because of her and because another took that bomb away. even if it took his life shortly after... they did good.
My husband was in Iraq when this aired. My best friend’s husband was in Iraq as well. It was a time of heavy bombing in Baghdad. The minute this episode ended she called me sobbing into the phone and we both cried and cried and cried over this episode but we were really crying for our husbands and what this episode made us think of.
Not gonna lie, when I saw this scene I laughed because all that with the feel good music and making everyone think all was well and then BAM it explodes.
Comedy and horror have the same formula for set-up (set up the expectation and abruptly show a reality) so it makes sense that despite the horror you would laugh. That's why horror directors can make good comedy directors too.
My expected ending of this episode: Meredith was a few walks away from the explosion so she had a few wounds and a head concussion, Derek found out and he was panicking and super concerned, then Addison noticed it, they talked abt it and decided to get a divorce and then Meredith and Derek would be together again and strt over BUT THIS PLOT TWIST IS EVERYTHING
When people mention “angels” they meet as nurses. The last moment of the scene fully encapsulated that. They are like angels the way they gently and compassionately clean you and bandage your wounds, and they show such gentle kindness.
He was her true love. Even through the breakups she still loved him. Remember the episode where mer gives him the “pick me, choose me, love me” monologue?
My partner and I were joking when we watched it that they’d hear a boom down the corridor as the bomb was being carried out, and then it actually happened and we were in shock!
Me three. I was thinking when I first saw it that Mer would would finally be at peace about her Derek breakup and Dylan would turn out to be her true love and she would be happy.
Unrealistic, they would have had the bomb container nearby and those guys would have been wearing a better suit that would have covered their heads and easily managed the explosion.
It’s good to know that there’s more safety protocols irl because I always questioned how he was supposed to walk all of the way out holding the bomb like that
Why would he carry the bomb and all the way to where, the container was supposed to be next to him after taken it from her and cover up to contain the explosion after moving from the body.
No it’s two parts. First part is called “it’s the end of the world”, the second part was called “as we know it” (the whole premise of the episode was if you knew it was your last day on earth, who would you want spend it with, how would you spend your last day.
Didn’t watch the show always, but saw this episode when my mother was watching it. I know there a lot of problems with the way the bomb was handled but it was still suspenseful. Love the chemistry coach Taylor and Meredith had. Btw, as a huge fan of Friday Night Lights, even I wanted to run through a brick wall after an inspirational speech by coach Taylor to his football team. My wife said I would have to give her permission to have an affair with him.
Amen to that. I would be willing to do a lot of different stunts, but not a stunt like that. Ellen is braver than me. The stunt person actually got hurt and that’s why she had to do it, but I was like dude, you are the star of the show, you are an autonomous person. No is a complete sentence and no one can make you do something you don’t want to do.
Bomb guy dying made me laugh. Not cause I disliked him or anything, but because the explosion while the music played was funny to me. Also because watched it this year so I knew Med would be fine and because I thought it was her imagination.
Wait, wait, wait. So you’re telling me an intern who later ran out could handle a bomb, a doctor could handle and transport a bomb, but someone who works for the BOMB SQUAD blows up three steps after moving said bomb that was handled and transported? 😂😂😢😅😂
I remember my wife watching this show years go. I was watching game of thrones at the time and I thought that show threw some wild moments in game of thrones that no show had reached before. This was up there.
“you did good” this poor man 😩
you can tell he’s terrified but trying not to show it
Yes...
This hospital if reality should and all employees receive an exorcism !
@@brianhicks8234 at this point just burn the whole thing down
yuo did this poor mon 😢
fisrt few seasons of greys anatomy are pure gold.
Agreed with you,, but actually from 1 - 5 season was good,, totally hardcore,,
Exactly...🖒🖒😢😢
A then people started dropping left and right
I didn't like o malley
Very much....for me it went down the trash after Derek's departure
The plot twist no one saw coming. It's a shame really...other than Derek, Meredith had great chemistry with bomb guy. Would've made hell of a love story.
ThePrincx I actually knew that they were gonna explode for some reason. I just knew.
@@SwiftFlower_ I knew it because he was so hot. Cause If he wasn't that would've been just cruel to blowup into peaces on top of being ugly.
@@mustafa-cx2fg oh my gosh I- chile im dead
yep I just heard the bomb in the show I only watched Meredith go flying I didn't expect it that's why I watched the scene again its so sad
R i g h t
That final scene of Izzy and Cristina taking care of Meredith is one of the best moments of the series.
I liked that it referenced O'Malley's wet dream about Izzie, Meredith and Christina.
@@deeya oh umm
It definitely is. It shows friendship at it’s finest
@@deeya damn i didn't realize til the end.
They are such good friends i dont know why they hated izzy later on the show hated her and what to go
I hated that patient he cost a man his life because of his childish games
Same...😠😠😢😢
There were two guys who got exploded
Same and also that kid that just let go of the bomb and just ran. that deserves a slap
@@yuju1195 She was 22 and was left alone while holding a bomb, you'd probably freak out too

Thats Coach Taylor for yall... he has a way with people🤷♀️❤❤❤

@@miranda13cI've seen the actor survive so many life threatening situations in Early Edition that I wasn't prepared for him to get vaporized.
@@miranda13che’s known for more then that. Bloodline series on Netflix is amazing and he’s the lead.
Its like, oh everything is gonna be ok-BOOOOOOM
My life in a nutshell
Literally defines Greys Anatomy
Shonda rhimes is messed up
I cry every time I see this clip. Those two are really her best friends.
yeah until Izzy runs away... but sorry for downing it hahaha
Yeah, Mer + Cristina + Izzie = besties goals
Dylan was the only death that Shonda regretted. I am with her. He only played in 2 episodes but damn it I love the guy! Easily, him and Denny are tied for my vote to be brought back to life. Lol
denny > dylan
@@symphanym agreed. Denny is just awesome :)
What about George? They really f*cked up that amazing character.
When did Shonda say that?
@AmethystEyes in an interview she did a few years ago. Don't rememeber the website to link. Do a Google search.
YOU ALREADY KNOW MEREDITHS HEAD HURT WHEN IT HIT THAT FLOOR
that was a stunt double but yes she ended up with a concussion so they had meredith do it but slower. then they ended up just using the clip of the stunt double getting a concussion😂
When her head hit the floor, I felt that =/
@@theaesthetic4100 same here!
You got to give it to the show that explosion was realistic af
Yes...
did you peep the pink mist
but the fact that it exploded few meters away from an occupied OR and both the patient and the doctor made it is kind of a stretch to me
...you're joking, right?
Nah. If it was realistic the hallway would be painted in red, and there would be body parts with the lower half intact most likely.
I remember watching this episode and at first i was like “dang, he’s hot! Ooo new SHIP”, then out of nowhere the bomb goes off and i was just like 😶, why??? 🥺
Excellent insight into the scene by Poophead 2751
You mean you wanted another useless love arch?
And this was the moment that I fell in love with this show.
They actually dared to show a man blow up in a fiery explosion right in front of the main character. Well done Shonda, most writers wouldn't have dared this shot. Well done.
I miss the original squad (Alex, Izzy, Cristina, Meredith and Georgie) 😭
Its cos they were M.A.G.I.C
@@Rockas360 Omg they were. M. A. G. I. C. Meredith, Alex, George, Izzy, and Christina... Wow..
I kinda hate Izzy now because of the way they wrote off Alex
We all miss the M.A.G.I.C. baby🥲
Izzy sucked😊😊
i still cannot believe that after this everything went back to normal, mer (and the others in the or) experienced something so traumatizing but there is nothing done about it
Yeah like next episode oh Mark comes in the picture
One of the most realistic parts of this show…
Feel like no one gave Burke credit for remaining so calm
The guy is always calm. Irritatingly calm.
I miss Burke 😢
I never really liked Burke but I have to say, in this episode... My boi !
It’s incredible the amount of times the show put Meredith’s life at stake. And she was the leading character!
It’s called plot armor. When you put certain characters in insane situations that should and would end badly but they come out easily it’s just bad writing.
It makes me upset he's not wearing more protective gear
A bomb suit isn't designed to withstand a missile explosion from point blank. He would've died or comatosed either way.
OverHeaven what’s the point of it then 🥺
@@simplicami1154 trying to keep the body in the suit so it dosnt evapurate or splatter everywhere when the bomb goes off

Helena S ohh okay that’s smart! Thank you!
when grey's anatomy used to give you constant goose bumps
George looking at Mer like he wanted to hold her and help them clean her up. Looked like he didn’t have the words to approach her
Maybe. But at the start of the bomb two parter, George was having a fantasy of the girls in the shower but when he saw the reality of things at the end of the bomb story, he realized the truth was not what he thought and he did not want to intrude on the girls helping Meredith who was in shock among other things.

@@kellyolson1952 yeh it was appropriate
Kyle chandler would have given Derek a run for his money! This is such a great episode
aww the last scene with izzy and christina taking care of mer is one of the best ones
The song is legit telling Meredith what to do
The stunt double hit her head, so Ellen had to do some of her own stunt for this
nothing could ever prepare me for how this episode ended. i was in absolute shock when I first watched it like holy shit? just like that? music stops and there's the pink dust they talked about.
No matter how many times I see this episode it is as impactful as the first time. And it guts me everytime that after everything, he ended up getting blown up! 💔
Who hurt Shonda as a child that she has to do this to us every damn time?!
I really want to know. She ruins every relationship, family and screw up people’s happiness

There was a container in front of him before the bomb went off.
Fr mer should have been checked right away but tbh psych consult also cause she looked traumatized

She did good, and she did well.
Man old Grey was awesome. So much drama , good storylines. And good old Merder. Shame to see it decline.

NEVER WATCHED THIS SHOW AND I JUST CRIED A LOT WTF!?!?!
You should watch it, it's amazing.
the first 10 seasons were amazing.
WATCH IT PLS ITS THE BEST THING THAT WILL EVER HAPPEN TO U
Why did the bomb guy have to die:(
Not gonna lie, when I saw this scene I laughed because all that with the feel good music and making everyone think all was well and then BAM it explodes.

I swear on my life this whole era, along with 6 feet under, the shows were unmatchable😫
When people mention “angels” they meet as nurses. The last moment of the scene fully encapsulated that. They are like angels the way they gently and compassionately clean you and bandage your wounds, and they show such gentle kindness.
They’re not nurses
They’re not nurses
Of course she sees derek
He was her true love. Even through the breakups she still loved him. Remember the episode where mer gives him the “pick me, choose me, love me” monologue?
Plot twist: that bomb was fake and then when Dylan walks out the real boom Goes off
Not funny...
This episode and the one w the shooting are the most intense episodes of the show imo.
making us believe everything turned out fine and then BOOM blow up bomb guy is just so shonda...
my clumsy ass would've dropped the bomb on accident.
Exactly
He was being so carefulllll!
Still didn't matter. It was set off earlier from the floor but had a delayed trigger
My partner and I were joking when we watched it that they’d hear a boom down the corridor as the bomb was being carried out, and then it actually happened and we were in shock!
I loved the bomb squad guy 😭😭😭😭
You and me both!
Me three. I was thinking when I first saw it that Mer would would finally be at peace about her Derek breakup and Dylan would turn out to be her true love and she would be happy.
I thought he was just gonna trip and then it would explode
That scared me so bad!
I’m sorry the explosion was so unexpected that i started to chuckle
i genuinely started crying as soon as he got blown up that episode just hit me differently
The feel good music then Skadoosh 😂 that explosive should've entered a container, guy walked out like if he was carrying a hot bowl of soup lol
Literally makes no sense that the building wasn't empty during this surgery with the threat of a bomb.
Unrealistic, they would have had the bomb container nearby and those guys would have been wearing a better suit that would have covered their heads and easily managed the explosion.
It’s good to know that there’s more safety protocols irl because I always questioned how he was supposed to walk all of the way out holding the bomb like that
I have no clue why I’ve been getting these video recommendations but I’m so glad I did. One of my favorite shows. The first 3 seasons are the best. 💖
I'm shocked that they didn't make a big deal out of it, I mean Meredith was a few walks away from the explosion, didn't even get a head wound or smthn
This episode really stuck with me. Something just reminded me of it, so here I am.
The amount of trauma Meredith went through on this show is insane..
omggg the last scene made me cry
They killed him so he could go and do Friday night lights
ahh :((
I never watched the show but im sure that gruff bonb squad guy with a heart of gold will be a long term member of the ser-AND BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE.
This is by far the most intense moment of the show
Why would he carry the bomb and all the way to where, the container was supposed to be next to him after taken it from her and cover up to contain the explosion after moving from the body.
This is absolulty the best of grey anatomy
back in the days they don't have this black box where you can put bombs and let a robot take it somewhere safer
So I've never watched the show but saw a tiktok about this episode and became invested and now I'm crying 😭
Me tooooo now I’m obsessed
The triumphant feel-good music being hard cut by the explosion was so powerful...
2:16 who's the second guy in the hallway!?
Even Isaiah Washington's character was like WTF at Meredith
There's a reason they called this episode red mist
No it’s two parts. First part is called “it’s the end of the world”, the second part was called “as we know it” (the whole premise of the episode was if you knew it was your last day on earth, who would you want spend it with, how would you spend your last day.
@@kellyolson1952 Actually in France, this episode (2x17) is called “brume rose” (pink mist) maybe he was referring to that
The hospital was still not evacuated. So smart
Two things. One, dad knows how to build an explosive. Two, dad and maybe the son are going to do some time lol
What's interesting is you can briefly see the "pink mist" Dr. Milton talked about
Where? I keep trying to look for it even though I’ve seen this episode so many times.
Didn’t watch the show always, but saw this episode when my mother was watching it. I know there a lot of problems with the way the bomb was handled but it was still suspenseful. Love the chemistry coach Taylor and Meredith had. Btw, as a huge fan of Friday Night Lights, even I wanted to run through a brick wall after an inspirational speech by coach Taylor to his football team. My wife said I would have to give her permission to have an affair with him.
Love how the guy disappears in the moment the explosion happens and you see a bag exploding upward
I miss M.A.G.I.C.
This scene is heartbreaking!
Imagine having someone tell you that you did good, only to watch them get blown up from said item.😢
I saw that explosion coming the second he walked out the door!
I have one question. Did she get to pee. ( Check part B).
Legend has it she did not pee
She better have gotten a big pay raise
Amen to that. I would be willing to do a lot of different stunts, but not a stunt like that. Ellen is braver than me. The stunt person actually got hurt and that’s why she had to do it, but I was like dude, you are the star of the show, you are an autonomous person. No is a complete sentence and no one can make you do something you don’t want to do.
I feel cheated he exploded but I was told there’d be a pink mist but there wasn’t just dust and bits of rubble
Who tf walks into a hallway where a fuckin bomb is at?
Moral of the story: don’t build military grade projectiles especially if you’re not a ballistics expert
But why in the bloody Hell would Meredith wander after bomb guy??! Like u just survived that ordeal and wanna STILL get blown up??!?
I think she wanted to thank him
She want to know how to take care of that little thing
@@jaya12199i think she woulda wondered how to replace her limbs???!
the saddest part is when Meredith has flashbacks of derek telling her that she can do this and that it will be over in a second
One of the coolest looking scenes
Bomb guy dying made me laugh. Not cause I disliked him or anything, but because the explosion while the music played was funny to me. Also because watched it this year so I knew Med would be fine and because I thought it was her imagination.

There is no way an eod personnel would remove his anti frag helmet or transport a bomb with his hands like that lol
I legit screamed the first time I watched this episode
I remember watching this in the mid 00’s
Oh look he has the unstable bomb! Imma follow him
Such caring friends she has… such a terrible twist.
RIP Coach Taylor.
Couldn’t the bomb guy have put it in a special bomb box or something to reduce explosion if it did go off?
That was genuinely hilarious, i didn't expect it to blow up 😂
