9
Good things come and go fast on this show. Throughout season 11, Meredith and Derek face a rough patch in their marriage when Derek decides to take a job in Washington DC. After one of his fellows kisses him, Derek takes a plane back to Seattle after realizing how much he loves and misses Meredith. Their happy time together is fleeting.
While on his way to make one last trip to Washington, Derek witnesses a car accident and rescues the victims, only to be involved in a car accident shortly after. The paramedics take him to a less-equipped hospital, and by the time the doctors figure out that he needs a CT scan, he is brain dead. Sleeping at Last's melancholy cover of "Chasing Cars" plays as Meredith takes Derek off of life-support, and it will destroy you.
