I can understand where Meredith was coming from when she said that. Her father wasnt a part of her life when he married her stepmother. Thus, her stepmother and half-siblings, while yes, the siblings are blood related, were never her family. I can understand that. I have a half brother. For reasons I'd rather not go in to, I never really knew him growing up -- he was never a part of my life. I never considered him my family until within the past 6 years, when he became a part of my life. Before that, he was just someone I heard about. So yeah, I can understand where they had her character coming from.
I liked the uneasy kind of comfortable "tension" between Burke and Christina. You could see that they were still somewhat at odds but that what they felt for each other still shone through. And I loved that they had Christina get on the elevator with Burke at the end (and from what I saw, it looked like she kind of backed up so she was almost close enough to lean into him). I thought that was nice. And ending the show with the moment between Meredith and her mother? Oh, that killed me just a little.
Are the shows reruns next week? Neither Grey's or Ugly Betty showed a preview for next week's show.... and that makes me a little sad.
