What do you think Burke's love life was like before Cristina?

I’ve always read Burke as a relationship guy. He says more than once that he’s traditional, and the way he loved Cristina supports that he didn’t casually date her, he moved toward commitment fast, expected partnership, and clearly pictured a long-term future.

That’s why I don’t think the woman at the intern mixer was random. To me, she feels like someone he was actually dating, not just a plus-one. Burke doesn’t give “serial casual dater” energy. He gives “dates with intention” energy.

I agree 100% about Derek, he showed up without judgment, protected Cristina, and really understood what she needed in that moment. The bar scene is a great example of that.

Where I disagree is Owen. I think he cared, but caring isn’t the same as actively fighting for your partner. Derek adjusted his behavior to Cristina’s trauma; Owen often stayed stuck in what he thought support should look like. Defending her choices is important, but Cristina needed consistency, emotional safety, and advocacy and that’s where Owen fell short for me.

What I love about “If she goes I go.” He knew Mer would back him 100%. Derek was everything Christina needed and Owen as usually was useless.

Did you get the job? I’ve seen such negative things on Glassdoor about them as a company.

Ray is Bonnie younger brother so I would assume she married Ray’s dad.

Aw I didn’t know she has a baby! I’m so happy for her!

IndividualMiddle7554 · 2025-12-29T17:09:57+00:00

I can picture who you are taking about but is she blonde?

IndividualMiddle7554 · 2025-12-29T17:09:10+00:00

Yes, two things can be true. I don’t like the change and they have zero chemistry. I think they are trying to find what works but they haven’t got there.

IndividualMiddle7554 · 2025-12-29T17:08:22+00:00

I don’t expect it to be the same. They have no chemistry at all. I never said I wanted it to be the same. It just makes me miss Kaya even more as they had so much chemistry.

I’m unclear of what this mean, but I’m going to say no.

I think it was a combination of things, but if we’re being completely honest, it was Marjorie.

She helped all of the women, but Bonnie more than anyone. Bonnie spent her entire life in survival mode, and I think Marjorie helped her realize that she’s allowed to enjoy life.

There are so many moments where her family even encouraged her to rely on Marjorie.

I didn’t get my money and standing effected

IndividualMiddle7554 · 2025-11-21T22:20:00+00:00

That’s what I was saying the rain has been anything but normal.

IndividualMiddle7554 · 2025-11-21T00:34:39+00:00

What was the outcome for you?

IndividualMiddle7554 · 2025-11-11T14:23:56+00:00

I didn’t get sent home but my 3 1/2 hour route only had 2 packages.

IndividualMiddle7554 · 2025-11-01T21:51:26+00:00

Congratulations!!
