Meredith Grey's love affair with
Dr. McDreamy is back on... George
O'Malley starts his internship — again...
and an injured deer gets treated in the ER!
Welcome to Season 4 of ABC's smash hit
Grey's Anatomy. The ENQUIRER
has an exclusive sneak peek at
the upcoming plot twists on TV's
top-rated hospital drama.
One big surprise unfolded off-camera
when a skunk wandered
onto the set while Dr. McDreamy
was popping the question to
Meredith Grey — played by Patrick
Dempsey and Ellen Pompeo,
according to an ABC insider.
"Derek Shepherd was telling
Meredith: 'I want to grow old
with you...I want to spend the
next 108 winters with you,' when
a production assistant noticed the
skunk," the source said.
"The timing was hysterical.
Patrick was right in the middle
of this big emotional scene, but
everyone's eyes were focused on
the skunk!"
After a few minutes, crew
members chased the skunk off the lot
"without triggering a major stink," the source
cracked.
The new season finds a humbled Dr.
George O'Malley (T.R. Knight), who failed
his exam during last season's finale, now
repeating his internship under Meredith's
supervision.
New regulars on the show include Richard
Keith as Mitch Greenberg, who interns under
the supervision of Katherine Heigl's character,
Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens.
Another new intern — Meredith's
TV half sister Lexie Grey — will be
played by actress Chyler Leigh.
"Fans will remember Lexie as the
girl who unknowingly flirted with
Dr. McDreamy — and sparked his
interest," said the source.
Tymberlee Chanel and Gloria
Garayua also join the cast as new
interns — and get a quick dose of
reality.
"Shortly after their arrival, a
three-car accident sends multiple
casualties into Seattle Grace," the
insider continued.
"And on the very first day on
the job, one intern helps deliver a
baby."
But the winner of the
"Strangest-Patient-Ever-Admitted-To-Seattle-Grace" award goes to
a bleeding deer hit by a car and
handed over to the ER docs for treatment,
said the source.
