Tonight’s Grey’s Anatomy had 2 strangers joined together by an accident - a piece of metal from a train wreck pierced through them both. Saving one meant sacrificing the other.

And then on Cold Case, there was a tragic tale of lesbian love in the 30s between a black woman and a white woman. Two taboos right there for that day and age. And you guessed it - one of them died.

I’m a cynical person by nature but I was still emotionally manipulated by both dramas. I didn’t quite bawl my eyes out though I did have to choke back the lumps in my throat. So I guess that was cathartic in a way. But don’t tell anyone. ;)
