Derek, my dude... Don't blame Meredith bc you're hesitating NOW to get a divorce when you spend months away from your wife and actively pursuing Meredith even after she repeatedly said no to you. Addison it's your family, you said, but you were starting a new life without her before but now that she gave you the divorce it's different??? (I ask myself if he was the one to bring the divorce papers if he would hesitate -, but bc Addison was the one to take this step and not him, he hesitates. His decisions are the only ones that matters it seems 🙄)
The time for doubt was before, at least right when Addison got to Seattle and Meredith had broken up with him. Not when he convinced her AGAIN to date him... Frankly, Derek will do something nice and have this loving look in his eyes and then he will go and act like a douche. It's exhausting.
I hate the pick me choose me love me monologue. But it's from the broken heart of this one that she gets strength to the "you don't get to call me a who-re" beat down, that is iconic and one my favorites.
S2 is so good. So many iconic things were set here. Elevator surgery in this one. Later we get the train crash case (that one really is sad).
