During a weigh-in, we can see Meredith's face covered in some kind of horrible redness. Either burns, a rash, disease, etc. She is rather disfigured, yet no mention of it is ever made, and it plays into no scene either before or after this. Confirmed Cause: Deleted Scene A scene was deleted in which Meredith explains that "These guys took me out on a fishing boat... I don't think I caught anything." In the next scene Michael says to Meredith "Hey! Your face is... almost back to normal."
