Grey's Anatomy's top ten most romantic scenes

'Grey's Anatomy' is the most popular romantic drama on television today. Here's a countdown of the most romantic moments of the show's first five seasons:
10. The Episode: Season Five, Episode 18 "Stand By Me"
The Couple: Mark and Lexie
The Moment: Fed up with all the gossip about herself that she's heard from her fellow interns, Lexie shuts them all up by planting a big kiss on Mark in front of everyone, and assuring herself that their relationship can adapt to a hostile environment.
9. The Episode: Season Two, Episode 17 "As We Know It"
The Couple: Meredith and Derek
The Moment: Everyone at Seattle Grace Hospital has just narrowly escaped death, thanks to a patient who arrived with an unexploded bomb in his chest. Meredith became the hero of the day when she stuck her finger on the bomb to keep it from exploding, but she can't stop thinking about how she can't remember the last time she kissed Derek. Once the crisis is over, he shows up unexpectedly at her house to check on her. Derek can't kiss her or hold Meredith, since he's still married to Addison, but he still manages to comfort her by giving her back the memory of their perfectly ordinary, lavender-scented last kiss.

8. The Episode: Season Four, Episode Five "Haunt You Every Day"
The Couple: Alex and Rebecca
The Moment: Just when Alex- and all the fans of this star-crossed couple- had given up on ever seeing her again, Rebecca (AKA Ava the amnesiac) returns to Seattle Grace for the chance to resume her alternate identity for one more day.
7. The Episode: Season Five, Episode 14 "Beat Your Heart Out"
The Couple: Callie and Arizona
The Moment: After her sudden break-up with Erica Hahn, Callie is convinced she can't stand any more heartbreak or disappointment. Unfortunately, she's also positive that happiness just isn't in the cards for her. But all of that changes in a heartbeat when Arizona Robbins, a complete stranger to her at the time, tracks her down in the ladies' room at Emerald City Bar to give her a kiss- and give her back her sense of hope.
6. The Episode: Season Two, Episode 27 "Losing My Religion"
The Couple: Meredith and Derek
The Moment: Everything about it was wrong- the timing, the setting, and the fact that Derek's anxious wife and Meredith's oblivious boyfriend were waiting for them downstairs at the hospital prom. But when Derek and Meredith made love in that empty exam room, their passion and longing for each other had been building up for so long, the moment still somehow felt exactly right.
5. The Episode: Season Five, Episode Two "Dream A Little Dream Of Me (Part Two)"
The Couple: Cristina and Owen
The Moment: Cristina had just been impaled in the gut by an icicle- an obvious metaphor for what had happened to her heart since Burke left her at the altar. But then along came visiting trauma surgeon Owen Hunt to rip the literal icicle right out of her, and melt the figurative one with a steamy kiss.
4. The Episode: Season Two, Episode Seven "Something To Talk About"
The Couple: Alex and Izzie
The Moment: We see a different side of the usually sexually aggressive Alex when he chickens out of kissing Izzie on their first date. But he makes up for it in a big way when he finally storms into Emerald City Bar and sweeps her up in a big Hollywood-style kiss in front of her friends.
3. The Episode: Season Five, Episode 19 "Elevator Love Letter"
The Couple: Meredith and Derek
The Moment: After some truly unbelievable obstacles, Derek finally finds the perfect way to propose to his beloved Meredith- in an elevator decorated with brain scans of all the surgeries they've worked on together. It's the perfect symbol of how far they've come as a couple, and what they're capable of accomplishing together.

2. The Episode: Season Five, Episode 22 "What A Difference A Day Makes"
The Couple: Alex and Izzie
The Moment: After Derek's sweet proposal to Meredith, some fans were understandably disappointed that when their wedding day came, the happy couple stepped aside to allow a cancer-stricken Izzie to have the wedding of her dreams. The moment could have been played as nothing more than a kind gesture, but Alex's emotional personalized vows and Izzie's struggle to make it down the aisle made this wedding the romantic peak of the season.
1. The Episode: Season Four, Episode 17 "Freedom (Part Two)"
The Couple: Meredith and Derek

The Moment: The show's central couple are in the middle of the darkest period of their relationship. Their clinical trial is not going well. Derek is dating another woman and has told Meredith that after their next surgery, he never wants to see her again. But after they finally manage to save a patient, and Meredith has a breakthrough in therapy, they finally realize that their moment has come. After searching everywhere for Meredith, Derek returns home to his trailer and finds her on his land, surrounded by candles. She's laid out the plan for their dream house. And after letting her yell at him for a minute about how she can't believe she did something so corny and how mad she is at him for being late,and how she's still scared of what could happen to them, he kisses her. And they decide that it's finally time to be extraordinary together, instead of being ordinary apart.
