Meredith and Alex engaged?! Derek and Addison together 4eva?!

Hold on for a moment please as we lie down and try to reactivate our brain after watching the first 10 minutes Grey's Anatomy's alt-universe episode. It's that crazy! And to think, it's only the beginning. 

This Thursday's episode of the ABC drama is going all Fringe on us and featuring an alternate reality, one in which Ellis Grey never suffered from Alzheimer's. So just how different are all the docs? Find out for yourselves!

"What if one little thing I said or did could have made it all fall apart? What if I had chosen another life for myself or another person?" Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) ponders at the beginning of the episode. "We might have never found each other. What if I had been raised differently? What if my mother had never been sick? What if I actually had a good father? What if? What if? What if?"

Obviously, we all know where this leads to: the alternate reality...where Addison is pregnant...with Derek's child! Oh, and Callie (Sara Ramirez) and Owen (Kevin McKidd) are together and have kids! Mind. Blown. Also, Meredith and Alex make the cutest yuppie couple ever. And can we talk about that cliffhanger?!

So what's up with Meredith and Derek in the alt-world? What about Callie and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw)? Watch the clip above to find out!

Grey's Anatomy's sure-to-be epic alt-reality episode airs Feb. 2 at 9 p.m.
