Katherine Heigl Leaving Grey’s Anatomy: Season 6 Episode 5 VIDEO (SPOILERS)
Yes, Katherine Heigl is leaving Grey’s Anatomy but, unfortunately, it is only temporary. On the fifth episode (‘Invasion’) of the sixth season, Izzie Stevens gets too involved with a patient, it clouded her judgment and she ends up making what could be a fatal mistake which leads to her being cut from the staff of Seattle Grace.
Izzy and Mercy West-er Charles (Robert Baker) get paired up on Sarah Freemont, a young woman in desperate need of a kidney transplant and down to her last access point for dialysis. They seem to be getting along swimmingly until Izzy overhears him bragging to his Mercy West friends about her being his “surgical bitch.” In the midst of their troubles, Izzy almost kills patient Sarah by ordering a bum procedure and causing her to code. Bailey manages to save the patient, but because of her troubles she will lose her chance at the transplant kidney she’s been waiting three years for.
Chief has to get down the the nasty business of firing people, and HR insists he use a specific speech because the last person he fired (the pregnant intern) is suing for wrongful termination. Who’s getting the ax? None other than Izzy, who gets chopped for mishandling the kidney transplant patient. Considering she got a total free pass on the LVAD debacle, I can see why she’s surprised. Still, she got a total free pass on the LVAD debacle, so it makes sense for her to be “on notice” for her next big mistake. She takes it extremely hard, to the point where she skips town and leaves Alex via a note taped to his locker. I suppose if Meredith and Derek can get married via post it Alex and Izzy can get divorced via a Dear John letter. I do feel horribly sorry for Alex, and Justin Chambers played his reveal scene superbly.
Apparently, this storyline was made especially for Katherine who will be busy filming a new movie project and will return to Grey’s Anatomy in about a month. That is how Diva Katherine rolls! In fact, she is the second highest paid women on primetime (Forbes Top 10), so Katherine can do whatever she wants!

Not unfortunately - fortunately. She is by far the best think on the show…no point watching it until Heigl returns in my opinion.
I agree with Michael. Heigl makes greys anatomy a better show.
The show is about the ensemble. It’s one of the best character based shows on TV–which is why it is so good. Heigl, without doubt, is a one of the strong members of the ensemble–but her absence temporary or not–is not in anyway a show stopper. There are just so many other great actors to watch.
now we will see how the show fairs without her.
So she want’s to make a movie? I don’t see the point in being all.. angry about it
And i certainty don’t think there’s anything ‘diva’ about that! She’s an actress, it’s her job for crying out loud 
I agree with Michael. she is the BEST character on the show, and she is the main reason I keep watching
I agree, she is one of the main characters and the story line will not be the same without her.
I used to like Heigl until she got a big head! She DEMANDS LOTS of $$$ when she makes a movie now. Who does she think she is? Greys does not need her…she is always dumping on them anyway!
I prefer the episodes without Heigl I wish they ended her run on the show when TR Knight left.
