Shepherd’s pie is made with lamb mince. Beef mince is used in cottage pie though.

I’m glad Jo is getting the help she needs. I’ve been a bit uncomfortable with the whole storyline, due to how her mother has been spoken about as being in the wrong and as if she did something terrible to Jo - rather than being recognised as the victim that she was/is. I get that Jo is depressed, and that Meredith and Alex are her people so they want to support her, but I feel that they’ve all been quite dismissive of the trauma that Jo’s mother went through and is still living with.

If they were going to fly commercial from here, surely they would have just flown straight to Seattle... If I wanted to get to Seattle at short notice from London there are no less than 7 different airlines that fly direct - at only around £100 more than a flight to New York from London. I think they must be wanting us to believe that they took the private jet all the way from London. Also, I’ve lived in London for all 30 years of my life and I’ve never seen fog like that - so I don’t know why she said it reminds her of home.

Teddy’s speech to Amelia about how Owen is the only one that’s every made her feel this exhilarated and passionate (or whatever) was problematic for me because it’s easy for her to feel that way when all they’ve ever had is the will they / won’t they “thrill of the chase” type of almost relationship. She’s basically just romanticising the fact that he keeps her running around after him, and consistently chooses other women over her. She has no idea what it is like to be in a proper committed relationship with Owen - beyond how she has seen him treat the other women he has been with, which isn’t exactly a good endorsement for him as a partner. If she doesn’t love Tom or want to be with him, then by all means she should end that relationship; but jumping into something new with Owen and trying to figure out how to be in a relationship with him, at a time when they should be figuring out being parents to their daughter, probably isn’t the best idea.

It doesn’t come as a complete surprise that DeLuca is taking the fall for Meredith... I mean didn’t he drop the charges against Alex a few seasons ago because Jo was scared of her identity coming out in court, and DeLuca thought he was in love with Jo. And then he was going to give up his career and life to go on the run with that other doctor (Sam?) before she got shipped off to Cristina. So we have already been shown him as a “falls hard & fast and doesn’t make rational decisions when in love” kind of guy.

Even the picture on Nancy’s bookcase was of Mer, Derek & Zola on her 1st birthday - like she doesn’t even have a picture of all 3 of Derek’s kids to display. Obviously you couldn’t have one of Derek with all 3 kids, but it seemed weird that Bailey and Ellis weren’t on display.

It makes me particularly sad given that Ma Shepherd knows first-hand how hard it is raising kids on your own after your husband dies.

Pretty much all the characters on this show should be in jail. I would love to see the series end with every single one of them paying for their many crimes.

As David Rosen said earlier this season... The constitution is going down in flames :P

I completely understand why the female Drs don't take their husband's name, but it slightly surprised me that April didn't when she married Jackson... Only because of the Season 6 episode where she called Meredith 'Mrs Shepherd' and looked confused when Mer corrected her that she's 'Dr Grey'. I know that April changed a lot between then and when she married Jackson, but I still thought she would change her name.

Mellie deserves to end up in jail... Along with most of the other people on the show. That would be an awesome end to the series for me, every single character facing the consequences of their crimes.

I agree with you about the worst having already happened to Cyrus, and I don't necessarily think he would drag them through the mud in order to get out of jail... But given that he's lost the presidency, I can't see him allowing Mellie (his partner in so many crimes) to get her hands on it. And even if Cyrus doesn't talk now that he's been arrested, I don't buy Liv / Mellie / Fitz being confident enough of that to even bother going after him to begin with. Would they really risk it in the first place.

This is what I don't get... Cyrus knows so much about the others, he has been involved in so much with them (namely Mellie and Olivia) so why do they think that he will quietly go to prison while they take over the White House? All Cyrus has to do is mention Defiance, or Sally's murder cover-up, or the dead jurors, or even the fact that Tom was only free to kill Vargas because Mellie and Liv got him released from prison so that Liv wouldn't have to testify during the impeachment hearings... There is no way that he will go down without taking them down with him.

I do agree that there was no need to involve Mark, that has always bugged me. I just feel the so much of Calzona's story has been off-screen that the little details are skipped over without much thought. At least now we (finally) know Arizona did legally adopt Sofia, so in relation to that the name thing isn't such a big deal.

The name thing doesn't bother me too much... I'm happy to think that after Mark died then Arizona legally adopted Sofia (she couldn't have done it when Mark was alive unless he was willing to give up his parental rights) but they put Sloan into her surname to still keep her link to Mark alive.
