Here's some scoop on Grey's Anatomy from this week's (Posted on 9/4/12) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: How will Meredith deal with Lexie’s death on Grey’s Anatomy? —BP 
Ausiello: She deals with it by throwing herself into her work — and taking a hard line with the fresh crop of interns. “I don’t know if she’s angrier or meaner, but she’s a lot more no-nonsense,” explains exec producer Shonda Rhimes. “She doesn’t have a lot of patience for less than perfect. She’s very good at what she does, and after her experience in the woods, takes saving lives very, very seriously.” Mer won’t be in denial forever though.
