It is argued that Meredith did the right thing by messing up with the Alzheimer’s trial to help Adele. However, her doing so ruined the whole validity of the trial. Her one decision also got Derek blacklisted from any further trials with the FDA. So, Meredith’s one decision helped Adele but was wrong for Derek and the other participants.

4. Even After Mutually Deciding To Give Each Other A Chance, Meredith Was Always Pushing Derek Away

Throughout the third season, we can see Meredith and Derek trying to work it out between each other. However, Meredith continued dating Finn. Secondly, when Derek tried saving her life from drowning in the bathtub, she was not thankful. Derek was giving his 100%, whereas, Meredith was holding back! This shouldn’t have been her attitude if she would have agreed with Derek to work things out. Or she shouldn’t have agreed in the first place.
