Not only is the boring losing the license business is over but finally Deluca realized Meredith doesn’t see him as an equal. Why and how it took this long I’ll never understand. Anyways, link is too pretty goddammit. Give him an interesting storyline already.
Mer's speach about Derek was incredible. I still miss him.
Go home De Luca.
Bailey finally heard what I was shouting to the screen for last 7 episodes. Go Webber!
I love Merluca but srsly... Deluca grow some balls. He's a precious flower, he would be so gone if he was an intern in first seasons with Grey and Cristina. The whole time he seems not liking the operations if there is no Mer in the O.R. How can he think he's her equal? I'm not saying she's a God, but she has many more years of surgary and she said to him on the first day that she cannot date him because she is his boss. She still is. That's not equal. I cannot comprehend how not experienced in life he is. The creators made him really blind and naive, I guess, but Mer should use different words.
Love what they did with this episode. Reliving some moments of the show and the doctor who 'killed' Derek on the panel. All those patients that came in. I bawled my eyes out and I'm glad that Miranda came around in the end. Oh but poor Schmitt, I feel for him. He continues to try and try and try but always fails. I hope Nico won't shut him out like the rest of the residents.
i’m in the middle of the episode and I find it RIDICULOUS. This season is really really disappointing. It’s time for Grey’s Anatomy to end. I used to love this series but it seems they don’t know what to write anymore.
I GOD DAMN LOVE MEREDITH GREY
I loved seeing glimpses of the team from the early seasons - it makes you feel good about aging, as long as you're putting in the work, being older makes you resilient, stronger, and even more attractive in a way. That's very soothing for me.
I think it was quite obvious that Mer was pretty match indifferent towards Delucca, like he's some kind of sweet puppy she could pet. I hope they won't drag this story on, I'm ready to see him with someone else. I'd also like to see some depth in Helm, aside of fangirling over Meredith.
Is Deluca really complaining because he thinks he's on the same level as Mer? He thinks he can compare with Derek or his skills? Am I supposed to be sad they broke up?
I cried hard in the Yang letter :( still miss Cristina
Wow its been a year since I watched the last episode. I just kept deprioritising the show and then gave up all together. This season has been pretty lacklustre so far and I still feel like it's missing something.
It was good to see some dirt being dragged up but ultimately not costing such an amazing doctor her license. She always had a reason for those questionable actions and it was always for the patient.
Hopefully she season picks up a bit.
Mere going off at the doctor was satisfying and no finally DeLuca is gonnnnne
What the hell? Meredith is responsible for that death! Why is everyone celebrating and not caring that a person died?
:asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol:WELL THIS WAS THE EPISODE OF THE SEASON!:asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol:
meredith is finally going to work as a doctor again!
deluca really thought he was derek? HELL NO! yes he is so good to her and all but she will never have an epic love like she had with derek!
bailey omg i was so disappointed at the beginning...she was so jealous of her but luckily richard helped her realize what a mistake she made!
This was THE episode the show finally look at itself from the side and admit how irrational it is. Yet, I keep watching and enjoy it for 16 years. I actually think it was a great reflection episode.
On a finishing note, a lot of the comments here are very very... anrgy? Bashing Bailey, or DeLuca or the doc who mistreated Derek. (Yeah, Derek died but no one killed him. At least not intentionally. And probably it is safe to assume that if this doc was the chairman of that board, he's not an awful doctor. The show killed him for us).
To me, it seems that people are so into Meredith they're ignoring everything else (which was exactly Bailey point). You guys can still love Meredith and the show and understand that things that happens there are irrational in nature, there's no contradiction. Outside the show, I doubt someone will let these way-too-emotional-all-the-time doctors treat them without hesitation. Tom, there, even though unlikeable as a character, is actually what they teach doctors to be. Professionals. A real physician would mentally collapse if he/she will get so involved with every patient, and that's why there are rules against it (ahm, ahm, Meggie and Richard)
Even though most of them are at the peak of our kind, doctors are humans too. But patients, and it's our brains way to handle with unbearable things, don't like to think that the person who treats them isn't touched by god. (you can't say after all these years I didn't get some of that prologue/epilogue monologues wisdom...)
Great episode. And now there's a recess.
The first part of the episode is very hard to watch, I got quite anxious just by hearing that ruthless attorney, turning every witness’ argument against Meredith. Yet, from the moment she stands up against her daughter and family the episode takes a very satisfying turn. I might have shed a tear when Alex mentioned all their former coworkers (Addison!!!).
However, once again, they picked death as a “easy way out”, on my understanding.
I cannot bring myself to give this episode a better rating simply because of poor DeLuca and Schmidt.
It is tiring cheering for Meredith...she still can't see DeLuca as a man who deeply loves her?! She is fucking annoying! Writers, make her better damn it. #GreysAnatomy

Oh, silly, naive, delusional DeLuca. You really thought you were at Derek's level? HA!
Still all these years later, and I'm as heartbroken about Derek's death as on day one. I even got a bit emotional during the flashbacks to that horrible, horrible episode. I've watched doctor's reactions on YouTube to Grey's pilot episode and I got a pang of sadness every time I heard "It's a beautiful night/day to save lives". I will forever miss him, even with all his faults and crappy things he did.
But the way Meredith went off on the arrogant, negligent idiot who cost Derek his life? So deeply satisfying (I'mma be watching that on repeat). Also, Amelia's admission of wanting to stab a scalpel into his brain? Unethical, but so understandable. I shared her glee during that "[he's dead and] I didn't kill him" bit.
Surprisingly, I don't blame Schimidt for almost costing Mer her license. He didn't rat her out out of malice or ill intent. Unlike Bailey, that petty, resentful, selfish witch. You still suck, Bailey and I don't see myself forgiving your nasty ass anytime soon. And as much as I dislike Schmidt I feel bad for him. Life is gonna suck for him at Grey-Sloan.
