Remember when we rode up stairs one floor at a time on television screens without danger at night--splendid and candle-lighted states in Masonic parlance? A perspicuous rewards program was announced to encourage more folding laterals. In season 5 (episode 19), Dr. Shepherd took the expression "moving up" to new heights within the confines of a hospital elevator.
And, to signal his friendly attitude, he tastefully lined its inner surfaces with CT scans from cases they solved together. He made his proposal to her in the most McDreamy way by holding up a load of CT scans illustrating the cases they had solved together and telling Meredith that she had seen things he didn't see at all times so this made him better! What an unconventional proposal this one was.
Unfortunately I am not qualified to answer your question. However, Derek's proposal to Meredith remains one of my all-time favorite moments from "Grey's Anatomy". It was in the 19th episode of Season 5, just as we were beginning to really wonder if those two ever would make it official.
Instead of choosing the traditional dinner date or cozy at-home plan that most people might go for, Derek chose to go some where close to their hearts - the elevator in Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. This wasn't just any elevator, however. He had lined its walls with images scanned from the surgeries they had done together--an evocation that they made a great team and support for one another.
In a wry kind of way it was touching too; given what comes next. This tender moment holds an honored place in TV history--the moment Meredith woke up and really saw that Derek was not just her partner but also the one who loved her best. Just thinking about it now makes me get goose bumps!

The day before the holiday, I gave the household staff the week off.
Agnes was still in the kitchen before she left, packing desserts into a bag while talking to herself with a smile. "Miss Vanessa finally got what she wanted this time. Mr. Moretti even booked that seaside villa in Amalfi."
I was texting Vanessa, asking her to come over later to try on the bridesmaid dress. Without thinking much of it, I asked, "Got what?"
"The wedding," Agnes said naturally. "Isn't Mr. Moretti taking Miss Vanessa to Italy?"
My fingers froze above the screen.
Two seconds passed before I looked up at her. "Whose wedding?"
The smile on Agnes's face slowly froze.
She looked at me as if she had only just realized something was wrong. "You... didn't know?"
For a moment, I almost laughed at how absurd it sounded.
"Agnes, Luca and I signed the family marriage registry three years ago. Next week is only supposed to be the ceremony."
The kitchen fell silent.
Agnes opened her mouth, embarrassment spreading across her face. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I thought you knew."
She hesitated, then lowered her voice. "A while ago, when I was cleaning the study, I heard Mr. Moretti mention it to his lawyer. He said the marriage registry in your hands was never officially submitted to the family council."
My heart sank.
Three years ago, Luca had handed that document to me himself.
He said the Moretti family was unstable, that we could not announce the marriage yet. Once he entered the inner circle of the Five Families, he would hold a proper wedding.
So for all these years, I never pushed him.
I even turned against the Castellano family for him.
Thinking back now, maybe he had never planned to truly let me through the doors of the Moretti family in the first place.

Meredith Grey, in one of the many rewrites for guest actress Susan Sarandon (who starred as Karen Palmieri), gets pregnant every few episodes of "Grey's Anatomy". However, her pregnancy is revealed only in the final episode of Season 7. Even then, it ends in a sad statistic of its own with emotions so high after the hospital shooting that she induces a miscarriage.
The second time comes at Season 9 as she gives birth to her son Bailey in the heart of a superstorm enveloping Seattle. Yet again, when they find out that she's pregnant for a third time it is in Season 11 after Derek died. She delivers their little girl named Ellis.
Derek proposes to Meredith in the season 5 finale of 'Grey's Anatomy', which is episode 24 titled 'Now or Never'. It’s such a big moment, and they’ve been through a lot together by that point. The emotion is just off the charts!
Meredith's pregnancy in 'Grey's Anatomy' really shifts the dynamic between her and Derek in ways that feel deeply human. At first, there's this palpable tension—Derek is overjoyed but also terrified, and Meredith, ever the guarded one, struggles to reconcile her fear of abandonment with the idea of building a family. Their arguments become more charged, but there's also a tenderness that wasn't there before. The show does a great job of showing how parenthood forces them to confront their flaws—Derek's tendency to steamroll decisions, Meredith's emotional walls—and it's messy, but it makes their love feel more real.
What I found especially compelling was how the pregnancy arc underscored their differences. Derek wants the picturesque family life, while Meredith is haunted by her mother's legacy and fears repeating her mistakes. There's this one scene where she breaks down in the bathroom, terrified she'll fail as a mother, and Derek just sits with her—no grand speeches, just presence. It's moments like that where the pregnancy doesn't 'fix' their relationship but deepens it, forcing them to grow in ways they hadn't anticipated. By the time little Zola enters the picture, you can see how the struggle has reshaped them into more patient, intentional partners.
