Grey’s Anatomy is back and with Covid

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 Merediths doctor she has to be her sister. Telling us that Merediths 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 Greys gave a good depiction of what covid is like from a patients 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 Merediths 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 Merediths dreams!!! Happy Watching!

Pick me. Choose me. Love me.

“I lied. I’m not out of this relationship, I’m in. I’m so in it’s humiliating because here I am begging…You choice it’s simple. Her or me. And I’m sure she’s great. But Derek, I love you, in a really big way. I pretend to like your taste of music.. I let you eat the last piece of cheesecake. I’ll hold a radio over my head outside your window, in an unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. Pick me. Choose me. Love me.” – Grey’s Anatomy

Pick me.

I don’t want someone who doesn’t want me. But, I have this feeling there is still something there. And if there is, I don’t want to give up on you or us.  I’ve never been one to beg or plead. Attention isn’t something I have ever had to seek, in others. I’m not one to try too hard.  I’ve always believed, if I have to try that hard, it’s the other person, that probably isn’t worth it.

But with you, every rule in the book doesn’t apply. I’ve completely lost myself to all of this. I don’t care how much of a fool I appear to be. I don’t care if you think I’m crazy. Because you’re right, I’m crazy about you.

So I ask you to stop everything else with anyone, who might be in the picture. I ask you to pick me. Do it today. And I will pick you every day, from this day forward. Because you have never been a choice, but rather the only thing, that has ever made sense in my life. I didn’t have to pick you. My heart did.

So I’m standing here before you, begging and pleading to pick me because I don’t want to know what a life without you, is even like.

Choose me.

We all make choices in life, some little choices impact things here and there. But then there are those big choices, like choosing which road to go down. And it is the course you choose, that impacts your future and your life forever. Some choices are easy, others come bearing pain because eventually, someone prevails in the choice you have made. I hate that someone will get hurt in this, but I hate more that it could be me.

I’m asking you to choose me. And I may sound desperate. In fact, I know I do. But here I am putting it all on the line and holding nothing back. I want you and only you. I want us. Choose us today and forever.

Because I’ve only ever envisioned a future with you. And of the things that don’t scare me about my future, is if you are standing beside me.

Love me.

While our heart chooses who we love, we make the choice to stay in love, every day. Because love doesn’t just happen, but you work to keep that flame alive.

I’ve never questioned you, I’ve never questioned my love for you. I’ve only ever wanted you because you just seem to make so much sense in my life. I want you. I want you more than anyone. And if it’s not us in the end, I don’t know if I’ll be okay. Because I’ve only ever wanted us to make it. I just can’t seem to accept a story where it isn’t us in the end.

I know you are conflicted and it won’t be easy. The best things in life never are. But if you choose me, I’ll make it as easy as I can. If you choose me, I promise to love you, every day.

It’s only ever been you. And I have this feeling it’s always going to be. We always find our way back to each other, so instead of fighting it, I’m asking you to fearfully take my hand, as I do yours, and let’s see where this thing can take us.

Let’s see if we have it in us, to be that story people write. I want us to be the example others want to follow. Let us be that couple that makes everyone gag. Let’s live in our own little world, where the only thing that matters is each other. Because you are the only thing that has ever mattered in my world.

I want you. Not just want. I need you. Because the only thing that has ever made sense in my life has been you.

I want us to make it. And I pray we do. So here I am standing in front of you, playing every card I have, asking you to be mine. Now and forever.

“It’s not hard. It’s painful. You know what to do. If you didn’t you wouldn’t be in so much pain.” -Grey’s Anatomy
