The 9th season of Grey's Anatomy ended yesterday with the shot of Dr. Webber on the ground, seemingly electrocuted. To my knowledge, the 10th season hasn't yet started in the US. That means there is no way I can go to Wiki and see if he has really died. And that's agonizing.
I have come to love and respect Dr. Webber's character. He is like everyone's favorite uncle. Sure, the man has his flaws - who doesn't? But despite his great personal tragedy, he has always helped out his colleagues - be it on professional front or personal. Meredith has insulted, shunned and even ignored him at times but he has always treated her like his own daughter. He is kind, patient and very good at what he does. Anyone would want to have a boss like him. Hell, I would.
I will never forget one incident from one of the episodes. Dr. Bailey is heartbroken that her kid didn't turn back even once to look at her when she dropped him at the school on the first day. She is feeling abandoned - sort of an early onset of the Empty Nest Syndrome perhaps. 'He let go of my hand' she keeps saying, on the verge of crying. Dr. Webber listens patiently and when he thinks the timing is right he asks 'Do you know what happens when someone lets go of your hand?'. Bailey shakes her head. He says 'You get your hand back.' What he means by that is Bailey should be happy that she now has more time to do other things like surgery and research. With a single sentence, he teaches her to look at the brighter side of it. That's something only Dr. Webber can do.
So here's hoping that we see him back in his old form in the 10th season. Seattle Grace-Mercy West won't be the same without Dr. Webber!
