Greys Anatomy Season 11 Spoilers: Derek Reveals The Truth In Episode 17; Did He Cheat On Meredith? [RECAP]

The truth has been revealed! In tonights episode of Greys Anatomy, fans of the hit ABC series finally learned the real reason Derek suspiciously fled from D.C. to Seattle. And just as we had suspected, it did have something to do with Renee Collier (Scottie Thompson), Dereks East Coast fellow with a perky sounding voice. But hold on -- dont grab your pitchforks just yet! Theres more to this story than was initially revealed in the opening scene of episode 17.

When With or Without You kicked off, Derek was sticking with the story that nothing had happened between him and his extremely smart (not to mention good-looking) employee. But Mer (Ellen Pompeo) wasnt buying into her husband tall tale-- after all, she was his resident once too and knows firsthand just how charming Dr. McDreamy can be.

Following Dereks alleged confession of why he returned home (which he claimed was to save his crumbling marriage), Meredith decided to go to work to try and take her mind off her shady spouse. But Mer couldnt detach from her personal problems no matter how hard she tried.

After Mers long day, which included the heartbreaking death of a 17-year-old boy, the doctor returned home only to find her husband eager to tell her the truth -- the whole truth. So, brace yourselves, Greys fans, because this is what really happened back in D.C.:

Flashbacks revealed that when Derek first met Renee, he spotted just how promising she was from the get-go. She was passionate, intelligent and determined to figure out how to cure autism, a disorder that her younger sister suffered from. Over time, Derek became more drawn to Renee and her commendable research. This is what ultimately led to the duos one a.m. lab date (aka a recipe for disaster).

After making a late-night discovery, the twosome celebrated with cheers. But their jamboree was put on hold following a very sexually charged pause. Eventually, both parties caved, resulting in a lip locking that MerDer fans definitely werent pleased to witness. However, their make out session stopped when Derek pulled away.

I cant do this. Im sorry, he told her. But Renee wanted more! She acknowledged the chemistry between them, which scared Derek. I dont want anything other than what I have with [Meredith]. I have to go, he said, leaving behind his house keys and cellphone. (Cue Meredith calling and Renee picking up.)

Derek then pleaded for his wifes forgiveness. I thought D.C. was everything and I was wrong, he admitted. You -- youre everything. I love you and Im not going to stop loving you.

Mers husband added that he didnt want to live a life where she wasnt involved. Im going to do everything in my power to prove it, he concluded.

So how did Meredith respond? Did she forgive her husband or tell him to pack his bags?
