And it’s not Meredith…
Killing off a major characterwasn’t the spring premiere welcome I was expecting fromGrey’s Anatomy.
Dr. Andrew DeLuca died a hero.
In the process, DeLuca was stabbed by the main villain’s cohort.
This can’t be good.
Richard wants in, and Owen wants Teddy.
Richard concedes, and Teddy rushes into the OR.
She and Owen slide into Military Mode before inducting newbie Khan into their unit.
She breaks down in her girlfriend Maya’s arms.
We’re halfway through the episode and the mood suddenly shifts.
DeLuca is going to be okay!
Teddy and Owen have saved his life.
Teddy rides that high until Owen demands that she “not read into this.”
He still hates her.
Except for Tom, who actually loves Teddy, but totally knows that she doesn’t love him back.
How does he know?
Because she would have done something about their relationship by now if she had.
If he beats COVID, that is.
Owen isn’t the only one scrambling to save a life.
She’s desperate to see Luna before Hayes takes her daughter for a lung procedure.
Jo argues with Hayes, reminding him that Val’s room is on the way to the OR.
Just give this mother five seconds with her baby.
She wears Hayes down and as they roll the incubator to Val’s room, Val codes.
Luna is now an orphan.
Moreover, Maggie is nowhere to be found.
This news sends Zola into a tailspin.
Amelia dips into damage control, trying her best to console Zola without lying.
She and Winston both head over to the house.
Inside, Maggie and Amelia explain to Zola the gravity of her mother being on a ventilator.
Sweet Zola begins to cry because her dad was once on a ventilator, too.
I wonder where Zola’s happy place is because it’s not at her mother’s beach.
He would do it again in a heartbeat.
Assuming he has a heartbeat, which he currently does not.
We hear someone shouting a name and DeLuca turns to see his mother.
Unlike Meredith, who didn’t run into Derek’s arms, DeLuca embraces his mom with palpable joy.
Teddy’s glazed eyes glimpse at Owen, who can’t seem to absorb the truth.
The entire OR staff crumbles as the flatline sound permeates the room.
Time of death: 22:50.
