Grey's Anatomy: Is a Change REALLY Gonna Come?

Wait! They're coming to me now! They're getting clearer, much clearer. I see, in the future of Grey's Anatomy, that events this season begin to take a very interesting turn...

Adele Reverses the Tubal Ligation of her Marriage to Chief Richard Webber.

Let's face it. Adele put up with the Chief's infidelity, workaholism, and implied alcoholism for years. Why all of a sudden would she then decide she's had enough? If Adele couldn't figure out within the first couple years of her marriage that her life was always going to be that way, what ah-ha moment of enlightenment could suddenly have awoken her to a different revelation so many years later? If she stayed this long, it's not surprising that she's happily going back.

Since Adele lost the baby, she will successfully convince the Chief to try again at both their marriage and at having a child (even in their fifties!). There's always the option of adoption. Meredith learns that the mute blonde girl from the ferry disaster is now an orphan. Since the blonde girl's mother really drowned, Meredith feels a kinship to the little orphan and thinks it is now her duty to rescue the poor helpless child. The Chief, being older and wiser, convinces Meredith that it's too soon after the loss of her own mother and she is therefore not thinking rationally in her misplaced maternal instincts, despite her good intentions. Adele overhears this conversation and later on suggests to Richard that though Meredith is completely unprepared to be a mother, the two of them could easily take on the challenge. Adele rationalizes that a child would be much easier for the two of them to handle than an infant, though she is forgetting they just might have a problem with enuresis to overcome. The Chief considers the proposition and is reminded of Alice Grey. Visions of loving and grooming another miniature Alice Grey doctor in the family persuade him to agree to seeking temporary custody of the little girl.
