'Grey's Anatomy': Which intern will get the ax?

Remember way back in February when Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo sort of casually mentioned in an interview that someone would be leaving the hospital intern program this season? Well, here we are but two episodes (and three hours) away from the end of the season, and I still have no idea who it might be. Until last night’s ep, I would have said that evil Alex Karev would smart-mouth his way into getting permanently benched, but then he went and saved a baby’s life and his heart grew three times too big or whatever. Sadly, it seems more likely that the increasingly inappropriate relationship between Izzie (pictured) and her patient/crush/cuddlebug Denny will get her booted from Seattle Grace.

But what does that mean? Will she leave the show? Go work at another hospital across town with less banter, ethnic diversity, and sex with coworkers? Will she hit the sauce and return to her trailer-park roots? Decorate Meredith’s house with a different holiday theme each week?

What do you think? Are Izzie’s days numbered? Or does that evil genius Shonda Rhimes have some other dastardly plan up her sleeve?
