REVIEW | There was a bombshell on the 'Grey's Anatomy' season finale -- if you're saving it for later, avert your gaze

'Grey's Anatomy" can't let anything go well for its doctors. That would make it a show about joy -- rather than misery -- in relationships. So in Thursday's season finale, Burke dumped Cristina as she stood thin in her wedding dress.
Burke said he was in love not with her, but with the woman he was trying to change her into. He took his stuff from their place. And poor Cristina had an anxiety-crying attack. Meredith cut the dress off her and held her tight.
Meredith continued to be a great friend but a moody mate. Granted, Derek has put her through the wringer and was mean to her. He sniped that flirting with another woman was the best part of his week. But he came around.
"I do love you," he said. "You're the love of my life. I can't leave you. But you're constantly leaving me" emotionally.
He asked her -- if she sees no future with him -- to end it, "because I can't. I'm in it. ... Put me out of my misery."
She didn't respond, of course.
Meanwhile, Callie and George agreed to have a baby. But Izzie finally told him, "I'm in love with you. ... Say something."
He didn't say a word. Instead, George failed his intern test. He cleaned out his locker, but not before meeting a new intern -- Meredith's half-sister Lexie.
Good luck, Lexie, in finding uncomplicated pleasure at Seattle Grace.
