Did I imagine it or didn't Arizona mention she got the idea to 3D print the baby's skull because of working with Dr Herman and this was how she would explain things to her?

I'll be the cheese that stands alone. I loved this episode because it felt more focused on the medical than all the interns love lives. A good example of this is how Arizona has her hair braided down when she goes into the OR. Lucas is definitely being set up for a redemption arc of some sort. However they are making him extremely unlikable in the meantime. What person drinks the last of the coffee?

I really hope they aren’t setting us up for another round of Schmico, but Nico is back this week. If they are, I really wish they had casted more nerdy looking actor or at least dressed the actor they did cast more overtly nerd like.

The show has been renewed for season 21.

They had a halfway decent storyline last season with him being the black sheep of the Shepard family and Nick figuring out he had ADHD but like so many storylines, that seems to have been dropped. In fact I just rewatched last season and the writer showed so much promise with this new batch of interns and Meredith being gone and all of that appears to have been tossed out the window and replaced with a bunch of plots to set up romantic interest for everyone. I don't need Meredith back, I'm not interested in another Amelia romance, and I'm especially not interested in another round of Schmico, a ship I used to love. Nick had potential as a doctor. I don't care if Helms and Yasuda are sleeping together. It's a step up from Helms lack of character development outside of being Levi's friend and her unrequited love of Grey. I am pissed that they made Maggie into Ellis 2.0 and had her villainized instead of it simply being that she and Winston had a pandemic romance that couldn't make it. I disagree that Bailey was the worse chef, but blame that on the writers deciding to make Richard come up with that stupid teaching method that was previously tried by that female Doctor (I forget her name) and dumped and Catherine's undermining with Koracick. If we want to talk bad, it was under Owen that half the doctors were in that plane crash. IIRC under Derek when they had the shooting. Hell, they cut the L vlad wire under Richard's watch & Meredith ruined the Alzheimer's trial under his watch. (Speaking of which, how she would ever be allowed anywhere near any sort of Alzheimer's research every again is beyond me.) I don't think Bailey was any better or worse than anyone else who was chef. I miss the show that managed to balance medical drama with romance and instead what we get is more or less a soap set in a hospital.

I hate the idea of yet another Schmico reunion. They have never fully developed Nico as a character. What happened to his parents no knowing he’s out? What happened to the invite to move in together? They dropped far too many storylines and ultimately just made him a meat stick for Levi. He literally was Levi’s “gay Sherpa”. The actor deserves better. I also hate how they ruined Amelia & Linc and now Amelia gets paired with every new character

Twink Levi was cute. Grown up Levi is just your average gay. Everyone at this hospital has the libido of a horny 16 year old.

She doesn’t and I hate that this is clearly Amelia latest romance. I HATE that they brought Nico back with thee dumbest storyline to date. Schmico was a rollercoaster romance, but Levi dumped him. He’s been gone at least a year, even in Grey’s time. Give Levi a decent love interest & stop teasing us that Schimco is happening again. The writers already destroyed all that was cute about that relationship. As for the new interns, I only sorta like Simone & Lucas so of course, they’ll drag that out until it’s insufferable. *As an aside, I still find it distracting that Jake & Nick played love interest in a movie 4 years ago. I simply cannot unsee it.

Since the actress decided to leave the show they turned Maggie into Ellis Grey and made her all about her career. In the end the character took a job out of state but she & Winston are supposed to be trying to have a long distance relationship.

Agreed. Nick as a doctor was one of the better things going for this attempted reset. As much as I like the idea of Bailey in charge of the interns, I’d rather Bailey run the clinic & Nick oversee the interns.

I guess it easier to divide this into Good & Bad. The Good: Simone & Luka searching for the answer to that guys pain. Masuka advocating for the under insured patient. Masuka chatting with Helms at the bar. Jo & Linc's day off together The Bad: Winston & Maggie fighting. Levi mooning over what he knew was going to be a short term romance. I feels like the nurse fling was just to show us that Levi has truly moved on from Nico this time. If that was the case, I wish they had brought back the hot research guy who flirted with him when he was doing the vaccine trials. When Maggie first came to the show I liked her. I really liked her and Winston together. I really dislike how the writers decided the only way to break up characters is to make one immensely dislikable. What really annoys me is how the writers have taken all the B plots of the Covid Meredith is on the beach season and completely destroyed them. Maggie & Winston, Linc & Amelia, Levi & Nico all seem to align and come together. Even accepting that the writers find more reward in tearing couples' apart, I still wish they would give the new interns something more to do. This week was a little bit of an improvement, but could have been better. I guess we're now in the part of the season where they're just setting things up for the finale.

I keep praying that they just wanted to make it to season 20 and then call it a wrap.

They got back together. I can't even recall the discussion or how they decided to carryon the relationship knowing that Amelia has a child. The good part is the character is rarely seen so it's just mildly annoying.

I'd rather see Maggie & Winston in therapy rather than her couch surfing at Amelia's. PLEASE let this be the end of the bickerson storyline! I'm gonna be a mess. Losing Adele was bad enough, watching Catherine go is gonna be hard. Not a bad episode. I'm hoping they continue to develop the interns as people. Still waiting for them to bring Helms back.

Especially after they broke Amelia & Linc up for no good reason. Kai make zero sense for Amelia.
