Even when they weren't together as a couple, I still loved any Derek and Meredith scenes that I could get. I hated Addison and Finn for coming between them. Derek divorcing Addison and Meredith dumping Finn was what I lived for because Derek and Meredith were back together. I loved it when they worked on the clincial trial because they were still having scenes together. The episode "Freedom" really made sense for me because the end of the episode was when they got back together.
Derek: Meredith....
Meredith: Stupid, corny, idiotic, I can't believe I did this. Stupid, loser, son of a ... I could be at nyumbani instead of ... oh
Derek: Meredith....
Meredith: Where have wewe been?! I've been waiting and waiting for you! And I did this stupid, embarrassing, humiliating, corny thing. And I was just gonna tell wewe that, this over here is our jikoni and this is our living room, and over there that's the room our kids could play. I had this whole thing about I was gonna build us a house, but I don't build houses because I'm a surgeon. And now I'm here feeling like a lame punda loser. I got all whole and healed and wewe don't onyesha up. And now it's all ruined because wewe took so long to come home! And I couldn't even find that bottle of champagne ... (Derek holds up the bottle and smiles)
Derek: It's the kitchen? Living room - a little small. The view's much better from here. And that's where the kids are going to play? Where's our bedroom?
Meredith: I'm still mad at wewe and I don't know if I trust you, I wanna trust you, but I don't know if I do. So I'm just gonna try, I'm gonna try and trust you. Because I believe that, we can be extraordinary together. rather than ordinary apart and I wanna be ... (he kisses her)
Derek: I have to go.
Meredith: What?
Derek: In order to kiss wewe the way I wanna kiss wewe and in order to do zaidi than kiss wewe I need to speak to Rose. I want my conscience clear so I can do zaidi than kiss you. Stay here, don't move, wait for me.
In addtion to this episode, I also liked the moment where Derek confessed to Meredith he was in upendo with her.
Derek: I wanted to come over here this morning to tell you... But now all I want to tell wewe is that I'm in upendo with you. I've been in upendo with wewe forever. And now wewe have a choice to make. I want wewe to take all the time wewe need, I don't want to rush you, but I upendo you. Just take your time. Because when I had to make a choice... I chose wrong.
I also loved to the part where Derek answered Meredith's swali about when the last time they kissed was.

I also loved the part where Derek answered Meredith's swali about their last kiss.
MEREDITH: "I can't, I can't remember our last kiss. All I could think about was 'I'm going to die today' and I can't remember our last kiss. Which is pathetic but the last time we were together and happy... I want to be able remember that. And I can't, Derek. I can't remember."
DEREK: "I'm glad wewe didn't die today."
[pause]
DEREK: "It was a Thursday morning, wewe were wearing that ratty little Dartmouth t-shirt wewe look so good in. The one with the hole at the back of the neck. You'd just washed wewe hair and smelled like some kind of... flower. I was running late for surgery, wewe alisema wewe were going to see me later, and wewe lean to me, put your hand on my chest and wewe kissed me. Soft. It was quick. Kind of like a habit. wewe know, like we'd do it everyday for the rest of our lives. Then wewe went back kusoma the newspaper and I went to work. That was the last time we kissed."
Derek and Meredith are my inayopendelewa couple because even though they've been through hell, they find a way back to each other such as Derek calling her a whore and ending up with them having sex in the exam room at prom. I thought that angry and jealous Derek was sexy.
MEREDITH: "Hey..."
DEREK: "How's my dog?"
MEREDITH: "Much better. Finn is running tests-"
DEREK: "Good. Good."
MEREDITH: "Our dog."
DEREK: "What?"
MEREDITH: "Our dog. wewe alisema my dog. He's our dog."
DEREK: "Yeah, whatever."
MEREDITH: "Are wewe mad at me au something?"
DEREK: [walks away] "Now's not the time."
DEREK: "How the hell did wewe let a patient get that far from your watch?"
MEREDITH: "I turned my back for a second."
DEREK: "He was in the damn gallery!"
MEREDITH: "He's a surgical intern at Mercy West..."
DEREK: "I don't care if he's the Surgeon General. In this hospital he's patient with a head injury who needs a CT. In this hospital he's a scared guy who doesn't need to see the mass of internal injuries of the woman he ran into with his car! This is your fault! wewe had him and wewe Lost him! You've got to take responsibility for your actions, for once in your life!" [walks away]
MEMEREDITH: "I never should have told wewe about George."
DEREK: "No, its fine. I'm glad I know about him, and the vet. wewe really get around."
MEREDITH: "What did wewe just say to me?"
DEREK: "It's unforgivable."
MEREDITH: "I don't remember ever asking wewe to forgive me."
DEREK: "So, was the knitting a phase? Who's next? Alex? I hear he likes to sleep around too. wewe two have that in common."
MEREDITH: "Derek!"
MEREDITH: "You don't get to call me a whore. When I met you, I thought I had found the person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I was done! All the boys and all the bars and all the obvious daddy issues, who cares? I was done. wewe left me. wewe chose Addison. I'm all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what wewe broke. wewe don't get to call me a whore."
DEREK: "This thing with us is finished. It's over."
MEREDITH: "Finally."
DEREK: "Yeah, it's done."
MEREDITH: "It is done."
DEREK: "Meredith."
MEREDITH: "Leave me alone."
DEREK: "Meredith-"
MEREDITH: "Just leave me alone!"
DEREK: "I just want to make sure you're alright."
MEREDITH: "No! I'm not alright? Okay? Are wewe satisfied? I'm not alright. Because wewe have a wife, and wewe call me a whore, and our dog died, and now you're looking at me again. Stop looking at me."
DEREK: "I'm not looking at you. I am not looking at you."
MEREDITH: "You are looking at me. And wewe watch me. And Finn has plans. I like Finn. He's perfect for me, and I'm really trying here to be happy, and I feel like I can't breathe. I can't breathe with wewe looking at me like that, so just stop!"
DEREK: "You think I want to look at you? That I wouldn't rather be looking at my wife? I'm married. I have responsibilities. She doesn't drive me crazy. She doesn't make it impossible for me to feel normal. She doesn't make me sick to my stomach thinking about my veternarian touching her with his hands. Man, I would give anything to not be looking at you!"
DEREK: "What does this mean?"
MEREDITH: "Uh, I had panties on. Black ones. Do wewe see them?"
DEREK: "What does this mean?"
MEREDITH: "Fix your tie."
DEREK: "Meredith, what does this mean!?"
Their engagement and the moment leading up to it was perfect.
Richard: Wait. Um. Wait. No. wewe can't take that one.
Meredith: Why not?
Richard: I alisema don't take it.
Meredith: I will take the elevator I want to take.
Derek: Hey. Come on in. This is a CT of Katie Bryce. 16 mwaka old female, subarachnoid aneurysm.
Meredith: From a fall during rhythmic gymnastics. I remember.
Derek: I remember, it was the first surgery we ever scrubbed in together on. Our first save. Right here is a cerebral cyst. Tough save, but we did it. I kissed wewe in the stairwell after the surgery. And this right here is where Dr Bailey kicked wewe out of the surgery, because she caught us in your driveway, in my car. And right here, this is a seven saa craniotomy. wewe held the clamp the entire time, never flinched. That's when I knew wewe were gonna be an incredible surgeon. Beth Monroe, made our clinical trial a success kwa surviving. wewe talked me into putting her under. That's when I knew I needed you. And this is today, post op head CT of Izzie Stevens. wewe see that? Right there. Tumor free. Because of you. wewe got me into the OR. If there's a crisis, wewe don't freeze, wewe songesha forward. wewe get the rest of us to songesha forward. Because you've seen worse. You've survived worse, and wewe know we'll survive too. wewe say you're all dark and twisty. It's not a flaw, it's a strength. It makes wewe who wewe are. I'm not gonna get down on one knee, I'm not gonna ask a question. I upendo wewe Meredith Grey, and I wanna spend the rest of my life, with you.
Meredith: And I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.
I upendo them because no matter what happens, they always find a way to be together no matter what.
