Spoiler Alerts: if you have not seen the last three episodes go now watch them and then come back to read this.
We have all watched as Meredith has fought through many hardships, covid is no exception. After working on the covid floor trying to save as many patients as she could. She contracts Covid herself (like many doctors who have been fighting the virus themselves). With this being the much anticipated revival of the fall shows. Along with the much anticipated return of McDreamy.
One of the most heartbreaking scenes for me was when Maggie confronts Teddy. Asking if she has this because she cannot be Meredith’s doctor she has to be her sister. Telling us that Meredith’s case is a lot worse than organically thought. Her lungs were far more advanced and this was the time in which the can see the virus become more advanced. I could feel the pain that Maggie was in thinking that she may lose her sister.
We watched as Meredith has dreams of being on the beach with Derek. This is one of the things that Covid can do, cause you to have wild dreams and hallucinations. We even watched as she was talking to her youngest child on video chat who was not there. I really think that Grey’s gave a good depiction of what covid is like from a patient’s perspective and from the perspective of the loved ones who are dealing with this too.
In the midst of the pandemic Grey’s Anatomy shut down production last year and there was many things that were left unfinished. In the first two episodes those of us who where left on the edge of our seats now have the answers.
Teddy and Owen: Last seasons they left us with Teddy cheating on Owen, and him finding out when she accidentally called in the middle of it. Now we see as they try to navigate a break up while working in the same hospital. For me two of the most heart wrenching scenes for the two of them where, when Teddy lied to Owen. You could see in his eyes how much he wanted her just to tell the truth. Now he knows this is over. Now what to do about Leo if something where to happen to him. Teddy says that she would, of course take him, which in some ways redeemed her a little bit. I still feel for Owen!
Link and Amelia: The baby was born when we left these two. However, we left with no name. This was one of the answers that I waited months for. Welcome to the family Scour Derek Shepard Lincoln. We watch as Amelia is navigating staying at home durning the pandemic because of course she is on maternity leave. Well, not only is she a new mom, but she is also taking care of Meredith’s three little ones. I do have say the sexy scene between her and Link at the end of last weeks episode was cute and very what we all need right now. To feel something other than what is going on in the world!
Jo and Avery: We watched as Alex left Jo last season for Izzy (yes, I am still salty about this!) she thought that she just needed to get over Alex by getting under someone else. This however was not the case. Avery, was the one who consoled Jo in her time of need. Giving her what everyone needs right now a shoulder to cry on. Is anyone else hoping this will turn into a budding romance between the two? Yes, I am hoping. They are super cute together and would be a very nice addition to the heartbreak that has gone on in the show recently.
These where the big points of the show for me. So, if you have not caught up. GO! Right now and watch. Next week will surely be something spectacular! Here is to hoping an appearance from George or Christina in Meredith’s dreams!!! Happy Watching!
