November 11, 2022

Sparks definitely flew in Thursday’s Fall Finals Grey’s Anatomy. As an electrical storm caused jolt after jolt Seattle, Gray Sloan’s doctors were, uh, accused stitching up the injured, all the while bracing for the clash ABC promos warned us about. what was that? Read on, and we’ll discuss.

“YOU WILL SEE SERIOUS INJURIES” | At the start of “Thunderstruck”, Meredith sent an email to her colleagues at Gray Sloan announcing that she was leaving. How was Nick taking the news? They didn’t talk about it, Mer Amelia and Maggie informed. Lucas and Simone upped their chemistry to 11. (Chase me – I already love ’em). And Link reminded Jo that women didn’t just need abortions in good weather, so she still had to go to work at the clinic. Unfortunately, once she arrived, she learned that bureaucracy had crippled the wheels of progress and the clinic could not yet open. Elsewhere, annoyed that Lucas hadn’t yet told his fellow townspeople that they weren’t sleeping together, Amelia dragged him in front of his classmates and forced him to confess that he was a shepherd. “We do not and have never had sex,” she clarified. Uh, “with each other”. Although the interns feared that Mer’s departure would mean the end of the residency program, Nick assured them that was not the case – they or theynot just any surgeon, were on the program.

Shortly after, Jonathan arrived in the emergency room, the television journalist whose helicopter had been struck by lightning on Post 19, leaving him in such poor condition that he had to be rushed to hospital in the chair pulled from the helicopter. When the patient apologized to his wife Paola for resenting the fact that she had wanted him to give up his dream of being a war correspondent for her, a light bulb seemed to go on above the Teddy’s head. Was Owen about to be released from the doghouse? After Teddy and Owen reported to Paola that Jonathan was going to be okay, Mika told Altman that watching her in action gave him back his faith that she could be anything. Teddy was a “badass boss surgeon, and I want to be you when I grow up”.

While Mer received autographs for her children from a children’s book author named Tessa who suffered from pancreatitis, Mer continued to get one for herself – she already had writer Jane Hancock since she was young . (Tessa was a Seattle legend, so do you know?) Before delving into Tessa’s whipple procedure, Simone asked Lucas if he felt better now that his deep, dark secret was out. Not so much better than different, he replied. (Of course, the point of the scene was really how well prepared she was for the whipple. That, and they went from flirty to flirty.) Before the operation, Nick gave Lucas a pep talk and he ensured he was good enough to make a name for himself. In the operating room, Nick encouraged Lucas, Mer was more cautious. She decided Adams was too pooped to perform and replaced him with Simone. And that was just the beginning drama in this OR

“WHEN SHE LEAVES, THIS PLACE WILL FEEL IT” | When Richard approached Nick to ask if he and Mer would be leaving, his boyfriend admitted he didn’t know. He was struggling to figure out how to answer the questions with her. “She’s worth it,” Richard told her. Was she, though? Mer hadn’t even told Nick that Lucas was a shepherd. When the couple finally argued/talked, Nick marveled at the position she had put him in. He didn’t even know how to fight for them and hated the thought of abandoning his class of dwellers. In other developments, Jo, stepping into the pit, gave Levi a hard time about how little power he had that had gone to his head. Jules was thrilled to have outwitted Blue when he asked for a consultation. They later bonded, revealing much more about their past than one would normally with just a one-night stand.

At Mer, Winston showed up to help Maggie pack for her sister – and to ruin her plan to avoid her and any talk of her changing specialties. For him, however, the decision was made. He was going to participate in the Gray Sloan Vascular Surgery Fellowship. “If we keep working together, we won’t get there. I love cardio,” Winston said, “but I love you more.” That wasn’t the answer Maggie wanted. She didn’t even know if she respected it. As Winston took that hit, the house Soon after, back at Gray Sloan, Bailey got a call from Ben, and Richard interrupted Nick and Mer’s operation on Tessa to tell Gray that there was a fire at the house. She left, only to find her house in flames but the kids OK. At the end of the day, Jo, Bailey and Carina were finally able to open the clinic (which is named after Miranda’s late mother, Elena). In the locker room, Simone signaled to Lucas that Tessa was fine. But all he wanted to do was fight over her failure in the operating room. As they argued, he impulsively kissed her, but she Couldn’t go. Uh, why? More and more curious. And at Mer’s house, at least saved from the fire, she and Derek had posted their wishes.
