For those of you who are wondering, Andrew DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti) has indeedleft this world.
Teddy and Owen didn’t miraculously save himafter he flatlined.
This isn’t a dream.
At least in this dream, she has my beloved Derek Shepherd(Patrick Dempsey)joining her again.
How can one man make fishing look so sexy?
Take Miranda and Richard, for example.
For the record, nothing was missed on the operating table.
Owen seems to be handling death in a healthy way.
Her “not boyfriend” Avery just happens to be along for the ride.
Jo wins in a landslide.
They tag team a guy named Byron.
He has officially succumbed to COVID fatigue.
Even though he needs emergency surgery, he refuses to let anyone touch him.
Isolation makes people do crazy things.
Maggie doesn’t laugh.
It’s clear there’s more to the story.
Byron lost his best friend to the virus, and he’s heartbroken.
Through tears, Maggie explains that she lost someone, too.
And they owe it to their loved ones to live the life they can no longer live.
Byron has the surgery and is stable.
This is great news for Helm, who assisted with Byron.
On the way to DeLuca’s outdoor memorial, Maggie notices the resident crying on a bench.
Maggie instructs her to rise, turn around, and then she stands back-to-back with Helm.
They literally just stand there, leaning on each other, crying.
I may have cried, too.
As a physical touch person, this hit home for me.
He recalls that Miranda never allowed herself to grieve her own mother’s death.
She needs to take time off to be surrounded by family.
Don’t let the pandemic take that away.
Speaking of the pandemic taking things away, will Meredith ever get off the ventilator?
Although Teddy seems to be trying to make it happen, it’s Cormac who actually makes some headway.
He simply talks to Meredith about things that she’s interested in.
Who cares about oxygen levels or blood pressure.
He’s learned all about their cute little personalities and quirks.
Derek encourages Meredith to listen and suggests she “hear him out.”
We see Cormac walking along the beach with Meredith.
She seems delighted that he knows her children in such an intimate way.
And she’s perplexed by what Cormac is asking her to do.
He wants her to fight.
Her kids need her.
The hospital needs her.
We see Karina, who apparently learned of her brother’s death over onStation 19.
Miranda asks Richard for time off, and she runs into her husband’s arms after Richard grants it.
Jo and Link, smelling of cheap whiskey, tear up.
And Teddy hugs her knees to her chest as she sits far away from the crowd on a curbside.
Owen finds her there, in the exact same place, at the end of his shift.
Something is wrong, and he can tell that Teddy is not firing on all cylinders.
Can he convince her to leave the sunscreen for rainier weather?
Or will we spend the entire season watching different cast members pop in on Meredith’s Airbnb?
I hope that Meredith listens to the warm, familiar voice of our favorite Irishman and chooses to fight.
