"6 Days": Last night's Grey's Anatomy

Posted by Kerry

Is it just me, or did all of my usual favourite recap spots seem to see something about Addison aborting a mini McSteamy, and I didn't see it at all? I swear I watched it twice tonight and I just don't see what they're saying. How do you get an abortion from a statement that Addison doesn't get to be mean that week?

The most intriguing analysis I've seen so far is on Tv.com, over here:

Nobody is talking about what I thought was one of the most interesting parts of this week's episode! What about all the cryptic "not this week" stuff going on between Addison and Mark? What do you think is going on with that?

A few thoughts (especially keeping in mind Addison's remarks about not wanting to have a baby with Mark in particular in the teaser for next week):

1. Mark had a child who died, and this is the week. Only Addison knows about it. Maybe when they were back in New York, Mark had wanted to start a family with Addison and she said no; that's perhaps when she fled to Seattle to try to get back Derek. Remember that she confessed to Derek earlier in the season that what she had with Mark was more than a fling -- that she had fallen in love with him, or at least had thought she did. I think Mark really was/still is in love with Addison, and had suggested marriage and a family and she ran.

2. I'm more skeptical about this, but maybe Addison got pregnant with Sloan's kid and decided to get an abortion, and this is the week when it happened. Maybe he really wanted the baby, but she didn't. At the time maybe she told him she didn't want kids because of her career or whatever, and he bought it. But now it's all coming back, and he gets upset because this is the week the abortion happened.

3. Of course there could be something in Mark's past that has nothing to do with a baby; maybe a family member or something died, and we don't know about it yet. Addison knows and so is trying to protect him somewhat, and those who interact with him (especially Alex). And the whole "I don't want to have a baby with you" thing is a seperate deal that comes up when Mark wants to get back with Addy or when he just wants some answers about what went wrong in their relationship.

Must have been the fricking US teaser. Damn.

Can't wait til next week... need fix... like crack... must watch again...
