That's just tv. The women always seems to have long, glamorous, flowing hair that is completely impractical for whatever career they have.
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.

Who's Jake?
Of the interns, I like Lucas the nepobaby the least. I don't know if the actor is being directed this way or if that's just his face, but he always looks confused like Sam Beckett just leaped into his body and needs to take a moment to figure out what is going on.
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'm not sure what to make of Nico's sudden reappearance either. If it was meant to give Schmidt closure it played more like opening an old wound instead. I can't help but think that Nico's fast-track fatherhood with his new partner is headed for disaster and the show is in fact planning on a Schmidt/Nico reunion.
The writers destroy every relationship. Look what they did to Jo and Linc.
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

Jake is the actor who plays Schmitt. Who is soooo not a hot doc. They should have checked the patient’s eyesight.
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.

I've always liked her, but not sure she fits on the show.
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.

What happened with Maggie and Winston in the end? I can barely remember last season but I thought it was alluded they might get back together.
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.

It does suck to see Nick leaving. He had such a great rapport with all of the interns and was probably one of the only truly competent doctors in that hospital to lead them. Bailey's changed a lot since the early years where she'd lead interns. I hope she can recapture that early series Bailey. Hopefully, this Director role does her better than the Chief role.
It looks like they're just completely embracing a villainous Catherine. They really went all out with her this episode, so I suspect it will get much worse with her. I also assume, at some point, Catherine's cancer will be her karmatic downfall.
The premiere was overall just fine. Good to see Winston leading in a way that works. I'm glad he outright kicked out the people who weren't supposed to be in the room and focused on the medical aspect of his job.
Mika standing up to Jo was great to see. She wasn't wrong; this is why interns have gotten away with so much in the past. They have incompetent residents and attendings who choose their romcom drama over teaching the interns. I mean, the interns also choose the romcom drama too but they're not leading themselves.
Self driving car case was annoying to watch but hey, it's no operating on a deer kind of stupid.
So, Blue and Jules basically call things off because Jules can't get past what Blue did. And Simone/Lucas are already arguing about their romance drama.
I mean, this does feel very early Greys still, so they are attempting to recapture those early years. I did like all the references they made, such as with Derek and the LVAD wire, so that's nice.
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 thought Amelia and Kai were done when Kai said they didn't want anything to do with parenting. What happened to that?
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.

Not a bad episode. I'm hoping they continue to develop the interns as people. Still waiting for them to bring Helms back.

I kind of like Kai as a stand-alone character. Kai is intelligent and her lack of visible emotion is one of my favorite things about the character because Kai just simply doesn't care about anything other than the science. It is just when they started making Kai mushy and stuff with Amelia (who has and will always be driven by emotion first and foremost) that they (sorry, I just realized I was using inappropriate pronouns (which I'm sorry - I get so confused!)) became annoying. If Kai had been brought to Seattle Grace simply as a new character I think I would have liked it more - it is the love interest that made Kai less interesting.
Especially after they broke Amelia & Linc up for no good reason. Kai make zero sense for Amelia.

When Maggie first came on the show, she seemed like the sister with a heart. She grew up in a loving family, she was close to her parents, and she wanted to get to know Richard and Meredith because they are her family. Now she's gone pure Ellis, The Surgery Is All, and she can't understand that her husband would value his marriage over being a CT surgeon when he can find fullfillness in doing other kinds of surgeries. She treats him like he is beneath contempt, beneath her.
OMG! YES, That's what makes it so annoying. It's as if the writers couldn't figure out what else to do with Maggie & Winston and decided to make her Ellis 2.0 instead

The only way this would have been effective is if the story was written and the characters portrayed as though they belonged together all along and didn't realize it. The viewers would be cheering for them now. But it was never like that. There was no romantic chemistry. They were buddies.
Plus, Linc and Amelia were great together. It's beyond annoying that the pair was split up apparently to connect Amelia and the Minnesota doctor.
NONE of the Minnesosta doctors made for interesting storylines. Poor Scott Speedman is completely wasted as Meredith's supposed love interest, that she dumped last week. I love the idea of a non binary character, especially one played by an actual non binary actor, but Kai & Amelia have zero chemistry. Kai is kinda bland as an actor. All I can think is they broke up Amelia & Linc for this bunch of nothing.

(Or has that become a thing for some breweries, like screw-top wine is more popular?) At least put something in cans--the microbreweries by me have their limited releases. 16-oz. cans.
I felt bad for Lucas (on a shallow level, don't think I realized how hot he was until this episode). Though I think Simone will dump her fiance sooner than later. She'll realize she has feelings for Lucas and he treats her better. Though, if this is how it usually goes on TV, he'll have found someone else by then.
The pre-surgery divorce had me tearing up.
So tired of Teddy and Owen.
And yes, the Grey's staff suck at dinner parties! "Perfect Penny killed my husband!" comes to mind.
YES, the beer should have had those swing top beer bottle closures.
FYI - If you haven't seen it. Jake Borielli and Niko Terho played love interest in a really cute movie on Freeform called The Thing About Harryso it's almost a little weird to see them together on Grey's.

I could get behind a romance with Helm and the intern whose name I haven't learned (Masuka?). Not just because they may be the only women on the show currently into women. I always liked Helm and she's been on the show for years without ever getting a romance or a decent storyline. And the intern hasn't annoyed me yet and she should get in on some action since all the other interns have hooked up with each other.
I will not enjoy if Simone's fiancé comes to work in Seattle and we get a drawn out love triangle.
I can get behind ANYTHING that gives Helms and actual storyline outside of being Levi's bestie and mooning over Meredith.

I'm from Philly, out sportsfans are passionate. I can definitely seeing it happening.
Overall a decent episode. I'm not even mad at the Simone love triangle in the making. The only downside is the Teddy/Owen bickerfest. PLEASE writers, we don't find it funny or amusing. Let it die. I'm also tentatively interested in Levi's new love interest.

Definitely. I used to clean apartments in the summers for the university in the town where I grew up (between tenants) and I had to clean one that had had a fire. No way no how you just move back into a house after that without some serious cleaning and work. I think I care more about this than the writers, clearly.
I am just over Maggie and her childish bullshittery. Being a supposed genius does not have to mean she is a terrible person. Winston needs to divorce her selfish ass and cut his losses.
Greys has built my BS tolerance up. I figured there was at least a one month time jump from the fire. Meredith mentioned living in a hotel for a while and Maggie said she and Winston hadn't spoken for weeks. The house didn't look bad when they showed the interior so I'm just gonna assume, Meredith had professional cleaners come give it a scrub down.

I don’t understand why Maggie, Amelia, and Meredith invited three broke interns to stay at an unfurnished house. Like, they are broke! They cannot furnish an entire house! What in the actual fuck? If I were the interns, I would be livid. Who does that??
it's free rent. I'm sure they were happy for it. Especially Yasuda who was living in her van that got towed away.

I think Maggie was the one that made it up. Or maybe Amelia. Amelia and Link had their conversations in there when Amelia was deciding whether or not to keep her pregnancy with Scout.
I think it was a visiting doctor who created it but Maggie and especially Amelia used to calm down.

That that was the best they could do for the Grey in Grey's Anatomy's "farewell" is more evidence that the show's creativity has run dry.
Sure, they're probably saving all of the real good/nostalgic stuff for when Grey's finally ends, but by that point is any of it really going to matter? Is anyone going to care beyond being relieved?
This is a case study in how all good things must come to an end.
Tptb may never say it, but season 19 - and especially moving forward - is a hard reboot.
I hope it helps. Otherwise end it a season 20.
Eh' it was a boring episode. However I truly hope they find a way to move forward and focus on the new interns since they are clearly trying to reboot the show. I don't like Teddy and especially dislike Teddy/Owen, but if making her chef means we don't have to see them bickering, I'll take it.
Speaking of bickering couples, I HATE what they are doing to Maggie/Winston. Why are the only options for female doctors on this show flighty or so dedicated they are selfish?
HATED the attempt to revise Meredith's pickme speech. It's like in retrospect the writers realized how pathetic it was and wanted to change it. Meredith was the insecure person who would say that back then. We didn't need her to say she's not gonna beg a man now. To make matters worse, she was absolutely awful to Nick. It was just plain rude to not sit down and have a conversation with the man who moved to not only be with you, but help save your hospital. Pretending not to hear on the plane? Incredibly rude and immature. I may be in the minority, but I won't miss Meredith. It felt like Pompeo has been checked out since the Covid on the beach season. Let's move on.
I really hope they give the new interns true story lines. Let's get Helm's back and *finally* give her a backstory. I think she and Schmitt will be attendings next year. Let's see them dating like fully functioning adults. If memory serves they are missing plastics, and peds attendings so hopefully there are interesting new hires on the horizon.
If they can't turn the ship around, lets end the show at season 20.

I still follow most of the cast on social media. I'm pleasantly surprised at how life changing this show was for Conrad Ricamora. Other than Viola he appears to be the actor most consistently working post the finale. He's pretty much doing it all; movies (Fire Island on Hulu), Animation ( Over the Moon on disney+), a recurring role on tv (Fox's The Resident) and theater ( H was doing The King & I season 1 of HTGAWM, He had a run Off Broadway in Little Shop of Horrors last year & will be heading in Here Lies Love, a production he was originally in 10 years ago.)

Something I don’t think has been mentioned yet…the Maggie/Winston argument. He tried to explain that as much as he loved cardio, he loved her more. She couldn’t relate. She’d never give up cardio because it is her passion. Then he told her she was his passion…. And she said something about how that was ridiculous or she couldn’t relate or something…I can’t remember exactly. But it likely hurt him a lot. But then there was the fire and the conversation wasn’t resolved, but I think there will be after effects now that Maggie has made it clear that Winston will always come second to her job.
Absolutely hate what they are doing to Maggie/Winston. I liked them as a couple. He seemed much better suited for her than Jackson was. Now suddenly this season they are the bickersons 2.0. We get enough of that from Teddy/Owen.
13 hours ago, taanja said:Ha! That's my girl! being Meredith to the very end.
Derek was her one and only love. Period. Soul mates and all that. I've always got the feeling she "likes" some of the men she has been with since Derek died -- but none of them she has loved. and therefore in Meredith's world - they are sort of after thoughts.
So the Grey house has burned down. Wow. Symbolic. That tells me that once Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) is gone -- she ain't coming back! The end.
I get that Derek was her one and only, but man the way she has treated Nick is awful. TBH - I'm ready for Pompeo to be gone. The storylines for her exit are clunky and boring. Hopefully her leaving will give other storylines room to breath.
12 hours ago, funnygirl said:Richard should be Chief, IMO. The revolving door of leadership has gotten overly ridiculous, and I know the show has been on for nearly two decades, but I say let the man who started it all be in charge. With better planning, Miranda Bailey - who was being primed under Richard's wing since the very beginning - should've been given the promotion to Chief toward the end of the series as Richard retires...but since there hasn't been an end in sight, I guess that would be too hard to plan.
Regardless, no thank you to Teddy as Chief. They really laid it on thick this episode with praising her leadership. And I laughed out loud when Owen said he wanted it. No, sir! A plane crashed under your leadership because you were trying to cut cost for the hospital budget, your services are not needed.
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I hope we're done with the Grey House and that the fire rendered it uninhabitable. Freeloaders Amelia, Maggie and Winston can find their own places to live. If the show is going to go to the lengths to set fire to the house as Meredith makes her move to Boston, then let this be a real fresh start and cut ties with that space completely. And maybe that is tptb's intention. Or maybe the show is going to pick up in three months and the Grey House got a facelift. I say let it go. It belonged to a Grey's Anatomy that no longer exists.
I agree, Richard is the logical choice unless they are bringing in someone new. None of the current doctors would make sense. I'm also glad the house burned down. I was worried that Maggie & Winston would end up moving into it.
11 hours ago, babyrambo said:This was a good episode but a mediocre mid season finale.
Even with the loss of Meredith’s house. Which felt really unnecessary and underwhelming to me, tbh. I didn’t expect to feel sentimental about it, but it’s been there since the first episode and outlasted even Meredith’s closest friends and family. Torching it just as she’s about to leave the city is overkill imo. Like I’m glad they managed to save the post it but I really just wish they’d just left the house alone.
Kinda like how I wish they’d just left Maggie and Winston alone.
I know drama is the point of this show but it doesn’t work for everyone and Maggie and Winston are a perfect example of that. To me, it’s less that their marital issues feel contrived and more that they never really had a great love story so the emotional payoff from this plot isn’t worth it. It all just feels very, ‘well duh?’ They got married after 5 minutes of dating (sure, they’d known each other for years but they never sold that undeniable chemistry needed to anchor that whirlwind lovers storyline, even at the beginning) and now they’re realizing that not only are they professionally incompatible, they’re also in completely different places romantically.
Maggie’s response to Winston telling her she was his passion was cold—she was more excited about that post it than she's been about their entire relationship, if that wasn’t a clue that she isn’t madly in love I don’t know what is—but not exactly a revelation to anyone who’s spent even a day with Maggie. She’s definitely in the wrong here and I feel bad for the guy but this is a character that wholly lacks self awareness and she’s been this way since day one. I’ve seen a lot of people call Maggie immature and that’s definitely part of it but she’s also self absorbed; her inability to see things from other people’s point of view unless it’s spelled out for her is a major problem and something the show doesn’t seem to want to ease up on after all these seasons. Still, I like her a lot; she’s a realistic portrayal of a kid genius turned stunted adult and her being so dorky and unyielding is very endearing to me. But as a partner, she’s definitely a lot. If I was Winston I'd cut my losses and move on because how do you get back from that? He said she was everything and she all but told him to get real and grow up??? LOL. Staying after that? Couldn’t be me.But he’ll probably stay. Or cheat his way through it, as is the Greys tradition. Speaking of cheaters, Owen and Teddy were actually okay in this episode. Yasuda’s #girlboss speech was a bit much but seeing Teddy become, even for a moment, the brilliant surgeon she was back when she was first introduced on the show was great. I don’t know if one day of bickerless competence makes her chief material, but if more work means less time spent on her failing marriage then I’m all for it
Meredith and Nick and their issues though. Can’t say I’m at all invested in that relationship but I don’t mind him as a character. He’s good with the interns—I’m liking Jules and Blue as a unit way more than I expected and Lucas and Simone (who finally kissed, so misunderstandings and heartbreak are otw lol) continue to be cute—and a good teacher which they definitely need because Schmitt isn’t cutting it.
Speaking of, whatever that was with Schmitt and Jo was annoying. Jo isn’t charming enough to pull off being that insufferable so her whole bit was eye roll including.
I did like ‘gratitude is implied though’, I’ll be stealing that.
I kinda feel the opposite. I liked Maggie & Winston's love story. Time is hard to count in Grey's Land, but I think they date for few years. Although I think he packed up and moved after they had been dating a fairly short period of time. Regardless, I liked them as a couple and thought they were cute together, if not a little harmless. The show just seems to like breaking up couples when they can't think up interesting storylines for them.
Overall this first half of the season was better than it's been in a long time, but you can still see the show is winding down. It feels they want to make it to season 20 before calling it a day and I'm okay with that.
16 minutes ago, LittlePeas3 said:First the writers break up Amelia and Link, the most stable of couples, and now it is looking like Maggie and Winston, the next once most stable couple. Yet they torture us with Owen and Teddy (who I don't mind separately and may have yelled at the TV when he went to Germany to be with her for the one night stand many years ago. WHY?
I actually hope Nick will stay. While I love the amount of female surgeons there are on Grey's, I still need eye candy, and Link and Winston aren't enough. He is also good as a teacher too.
It looks like they are throwing Link and Jo back together too. I still wish it was Link and Amelia. I know, I am wishing for something that just won't happen. At least I feel Link and Jo is marginally better than Link and Jules.
I wonder who will be Yasuda's pairing, since Jules and Blue and Adams and what's her name seem to be paired?
Amen to ALL of this. Also? I hate Amelia & Kai. They have zero chemistry together and every scene just feels try hard.

And they explained the Zola thing a little better in this episode. Although, why they couldn’t have done that about two episodes ago escapes me. It’s a little funny how obvious it is that Zola is the only grey-baby that matters, though. Makes me wonder why they bothered giving Meredith so many kids. Not that I’m complaining. Kid storylines are always overly precious or pretty boring, imo, so this is a nice middle ground. And while the other two are young enough that moving won’t affect them too badly, it’s still a lot.
IIRC Bailey was due to having to write around EP's real life pregnancy. No clue why they thought Ellis was necessary.

S20.E04: Baby Can I Hold You
in Grey's Anatomy
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?
