Dduring the bar scene with Miranda and Callie in the season finale, Miranda says that after the end of next year, Callie will be Dr. Cargill. Based on past misdirections of the writers, I'm putting the hypothesis out there that this is a clue to the direction of lthe Callie haracter in season 4.  I think that she will indeed become Dr. Longmore.  I don't think this is wishful thinking on my part I think it fits the pattern.  I'd be interested to lknow if others feel the same or have a different take on this clue.

You may have something, there!  In the past, they've been very good at misdirection.  The season 2 dvd commentary about love triangles makes it very clear that the producers want to give the audience what they want, but they enjoy injecting conflict.  I think season 4 will cover Calllie's last year of med school, and  will culminate with her graduation very near the wedding.  She will be frazzled trying to do both; I think that's going to be the main conflict in season 4.  Whether she takes Jim's last name will be a part of that conflict, and I think she's going to give Jeff a large voice in that decision.  Given what a great kid Jeff is, I think he will vote for Longworth.  I can't wait for season 4!

Can you tell where I stand on this?! Breddgal, your thoughts mirror mine as to Callie and Jeff moving in with Jim; it just makes all kind of sense for all the reasons you point out....and I LOVE Jim's house, there would be much happiness there. And Jeff already has his own keys to the house,lol. But I hadn't thought of Miranda being an agent/ally in getting Callie back to Florida-like your thinking on this. It could work, and would be a nice plot element. And though I know we were supposed to hate her, I actually understood the role of Miranda and really enjoyed the actors' portrayal of the evolution of her thinking about Callie and their budding friendship. So I would love to see her stay in for a while because she, unlike another who shall remain nameless, CAN act. Love your thinking on this!

Yesssss.......I'd much rather watch J/C/J working through the intricacies of becoming a family unit as the background of Jim's ingenious case solving than watch him chase different T&A every week. What richness could be added with new friends and family introduced rather than just referenced. That would leave the writers free to make the cases more interesting and less formulaic. Let's have a bit of variance in the "3 suspects, 2 interrogations, 1 red herring" and "It wasn't me, detective" and the i-room door opening and Colleen/Carlos/Daniel saying "Jim, you need to see this!" This GREATensemble cast is capable of so much more, and I think I read somewhere that Jim having to talk so much in each epi must be quite a load for Matt. But I digress....yes, contourguy your insight that selling the house would be best,as well as providing the solution to her tuition problem is dead on. Good point. The writers did good in making it so serious a plumbing problem that a decision has to be made. And thanks for the good wishes; I'll give it my best shot!

I would like to see them sell Callie's house too and I would like to see the introduction of ALL of the family members...I would like to see Callie's ideas for wedding dresses..although maybe the viewing audience would wonder why they're selling Callie's house or why she would be the one moving and packing up, etc??  It's sort of a huge tease wondering
