If you read the Grey's writer's blog, they explain Meredith's lack of screen time. During the first part of the season, she was heavily pregnant, so they tried to minimize her on-time, on her feet scenes (considerate of them given she was 8 months pregnant). This week's episode is the first time we've seen her full body, and it's her first episode post-delivery.

The liver transplant was a nifty idea to write her out for a bit for the baby stuff, and I kind of wonder if that's the reason why Izzie's gone AWOL as well (in real life, she just finished adopting a baby girl from Korea). I'm a bit mystified though, as to why we haven't had any follow-up on that story arc yet. Meredith tells Thatcher I'll do this surgery for Lexie, and then maybe we can talk about rebuilding our screwy relationship, and then he promptly is not mentioned again. Bizarre.

Katherine Heigl took time off to shoot a movie.
