Also in the next batch of eps, we’ll learn a bit more about Massive Dynamic’s ulterior motives. According to cocreator Bob Orci, “Massive Dynamic can use its power for good or for bad. A conspiracy can be a conspiracy for good as easily as it can be a conspiracy for evil.” (Watch With Kristin)

By the end of this week’s episode, I’m pretty sure everyone in Seattle Grace (patients included) will have seen the engagement ring except Meredith. (Michael Ausiello)
Nothing official’s been decided about TR Knight’s status with the show, but Thursday’s episode may have been the straw that broke the actor’s back: George is literally on screen for about 10 seconds. (Michael Ausiello)
This week, Izzie (Katherine Heigl) finally gets proactive in figuring out what’s wrong with her, using the interns to run every test imaginable without their knowledge.

(Michael Ausiello) Ken Kwapis said that he helmed “a two-part special episode that will air this Thursday and next Thursday the 12th, titled ‘Lecture Circuit.’ And come April,” he added, “I will be directing the 100th episode of the series.” In that case, maybe he could tell us a little bit about what happens in it? “A lot of romantic foibles including with Jim and Pam,” he said. “But in the next few episodes, everybody will have an emotional pratfall. I have not seen a script for the 100th yet, but I am sure they will outdo themselves.” (Michael Ausiello) Although Jenna Fischer swears (up and down) that she doesn’t know for sure if Jim and Pam will tie the knot in the season finale, she concedes, “We have 11 more episodes to shoot before the end of the season, so it is very possible.” That said, she hopes they don’t marry this season. “I hope it’s next season,” she confirms, because “I would like to see them address this engagement more. I feel like it happened so quickly at the end of a random episode, and then we don’t talk about it that much. I don’t want it to become another Pam/Roy scenario, where she is engaged for seven years. We need to make some forward motion.” Besides, she concludes, “I think she and Jim really are soul mates and meant to be together.” (Michael Ausiello) Jenna Fischer, like any TV bride-to-be, has a few ideas about what should go down. “I really want Jim and Pam to get married at Schrute farms,” she says. “And I also want there to be something about the wedding that you don’t see on camera. Maybe you just hear it, or there is a photo at the end, or someone recounts it. But I want Jim and Pam to have a private moment at some point. Because they are a part of the documentary all the time, I think it would be nice for them to have some little thing that is just theirs. That would make all the romantics in our fan base happy.” (Michael Ausiello) Ugly Betty In an upcoming episode, Marc and Amanda make out. (Watch With Kristin) There’s No Place Like Mode – Airing February 19, 2009 Weeds When asked if there is a chance Nancy is not actually pregnant, sxecutive producer and creator Jenji Kohan said, “Slim?
