Meredith's future with Derek comes into question with the surprise arrival of Derek's estranged wife, Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd.<br /> <strong>Most important developments:&nbsp;</strong>Meredith becomes best friends with Cristina Yang&nbsp;despite their shared hatred for showing emotion, makes it through her first run of residency, moves in with George O'Malley and Izzie Stevens, and deals with her mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
