I love you. I do. I love you. I’ve always been in love with you. I will always be in love with you. Which is why you have to stay alive. We can get married, and you’re going to become an amazing surgeon. And we’re going to have 2 or 3 kids. Yeah, a sister and two brothers. We’re going to be happy, Lex. You and me, we’re going to have the best lives, Lexie. You and me. We’re going to be so happy. So you can’t die, okay? You can’t die. Because we’re supposed to end up together. We’re meant to be. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.

She makes me happier than anything I’ve ever known. And if I can have a part in making her happy again, that’s all I want to do. That’s all I want to do for the rest of my life.

And while we’re at it let’s throw in a Mark (Eric Dane) and Lexie (Chyler Leigh) reunion that’ll stick longer than one episode. OK, cool?

Lexie still loves Mark but won’t tell him until the finale when they are in mortal jeopardy.

Mark said that umm, that he misses me. But I miss him, you know I… I really… I really miss him. You know, he thinks I still love Jackson and I tried to tell him I don’t, I tried to tell him I still love him. But I open my mouth and nothing comes out and everything is terrible.

Tortured and Tongue-Twisted: “I miss you” and “I need you, Lex” are things we actually dream about hearing from Mark (Eric Dane) and Lexie (Chyler Leigh) these days. And if we close our eyes and forget the context, then tonight’s episode was heaven. That is until Lexie cries. It absolutely killed us when Lexie finally admitted to Derek that she still is in love with Mark. She was just so desperately sad that we have to convince ourselves that it’s a matter of time before they reunite. If Chyler Leigh cries, we cry. P.S.: How amazing is Derek as an older brother to Lexie?
