On Meredith’s date with Nick - he sets up a picnic under the stars, because after he almost died he started to appreciate the simple things in life - he asks her about her “top-secret project.” She’ll only tell him one thing: She’s scared. Amelia wants to do this with her, and she thinks her sister-in-law should’ve said yes yesterday. I don’t know if anyone has missed Meredith doing neurosurgery over the years since she switched to general, but sure, we can go with that. Not only is a famous surgeon “throwing money at them” to change the face of medicine, but it would also get Meredith back to her neuro roots. It doesn’t take long for Amelia to sit Meredith down and ask her why in the hell she wouldn’t say yes to this. Kai Bartley, a renowned neuroscientist who was a few years behind Amelia at Hopkins. Then she definitely says yes when she checks out the state-of-the-art equipment and learns they’d be working with Dr. Amelia pretty much says yes from the moment Meredith walks her up to the Grey Center doors.

Mer’s obviously going to need a skilled neurosurgeon to pull this off, and if she’s doing this, she wants Amelia by her side. Meredith is still deciding whether she wants to attempt to cure Parkinson’s disease, so she calls in Amelia to make sure she isn’t crazy for even considering David Hamilton’s offer. Especially for Meredith Grey, who we know loves to be shrouded in darkness for about eight months out of the year. And by that I mean both the revolutionary medical journey Seth Cohen’s dad is handing her and the hot transplant surgeon who wants to take her stargazing and tells her things like “risk it all.” That’s, like, so much joy. Someone who needs to see the joy standing right in front of her is Meredith Grey.

It’s hard, it’s fun, even the attendings are getting into it, and at the end of it all Schmitt gets to pull a yoni egg out of a woman’s bowels with an assist from his fellow residents up in the gallery (Meredith’s residency class would never). He’s taking control of the program again - that whole “Meredith takes the residency program” thing lasted like one episode - and he’s making observations from the walkway overlooking the lobby, and it feels like old times, doesn’t it? Webber is putting the residents through a rigorous day in the skills lab - Schmitt calls it “the Surgical Olympics,” Helm calls it “the Hunger Games” - and the winner gets a solo surgery. These residents stink! Some of that is COVID and some of it … well, you can’t teach natural talent, babe. And yes, if you’re thinking, Hmmm, is this whole “finding joy” thing a little meta and definitely applicable to the show itself, because, holy shit, things were suffocatingly sad there for so, so long?, you are not alone.Ī big portion of how Webber and Bailey want to enact positive change is linked to fixing the residency program, which is (let’s be honest) a real shitshow at the moment. Or as Webber puts it: “You want to remember the ‘why.’” He has some ideas of how they can make some changes. COVID-19 robbed them of so much, and a big part of that is the reason they do what they do: the joy of their work. She wants people to remember that what they do here is bigger than themselves, that they are all in this together. Her employees are retiring to write mystery novels, relax in places with a view, and find the fun in their lives again. The pandemic has left the hospital a dreary place with low morale. It was not a fun scene, but setup the entire episode and we had to include it on the list.Miranda Bailey wants to bring the joy back to Grey Sloan Memorial. However, he started to have seizures and that caused him to have this rage and that is when he attacked her! He flung her around that room pretty easily and the shots were great, as we saw everything go on as normal around that room while she was being attacked. He seemed like such a nice guy and they were having a good conversation. While we knew it was this man that attacked her, the scene started so calm. We all knew this was coming, but how intense was this scene. The emotions were going strong last night, that is for sure! So many good (and bad) moments last night, but here are our picks for the Top 5: While the winter finale left us with many questions, we picked up with a new story and avoided all of those questions (but we got a glimpse into them at times). Check out the Top 5 moments from Grey’s Anatomy last night below in our Grey’s Anatomy Season 12 spoilers! What an emotional return of Grey’s Anatomy Season 12 last night, as we had the midseason premiere of Grey’s Anatomy 2016 and after a three month hiatus we are so glad it is back! We took a diversion from the stories we were left with, as we saw Meredith ( Ellen Pompeo) attacked by one of her patients and this episode gave us all the feels.
