And Maggie performs a groundbreaking surgery.
Big things are happening at Grey Sloan Memorial, and they all have to do with hearts.
It’s cardiopalooza, which means Maggie (Kelly McCreary) is front and center.

The hospital is ready.
The media is in a frenzy.
To make matters even more tense, Winston’s brother Windell has arrived out of the blue.
He’s the family’s black sheep, which means he’s incredibly handsome and devilishly charming.
The good news is that Windell has a job in medical sales.
He claims Fernanda’s family is selfish, and he thinks they should scrap surgery altogether.
Maggie calls him out, asking if he’s punishing the family or reading the scans?
So Owen offers to do the boring parts of Bailey’s job, while she actually operates on people.
This brings her joy deep down in her heart.
When she gets a little nervous about the procedure, Jo immediately calms her nerves.
She also blows off Todd’s dinner invite to study in the hospital library.
When her brother has a panic attack, Winston handles it beautifully.
Before Fernanda’s surgery, we later learn the anxiety behind Winston’s family situation.
He admits he was wrong when he shouted at Maggie.
It all comes down to his mother’s death.
Windell was a hot mess during this time, as well.
That’s when Winston’s panic attacks started.
He almost quit his fellowship because of it.
Now that he’s in town, he’s scared that Windell will trigger all that drama.
So he lost it a little bit.
Winston looks at his nervous wife and smiles.
He claims he has a fantastic job and a genius wife.
He invites her to save a life.
To save the family.
Dr. Winston Ndugu for Husband of the Year.
Maggie rocks it, of course.
And all is well.
Winston even reconciles with his brother and invites him to stay for a while.
I’m sure that will end in some sort of chaos, but I’ll allow it.
The Ndugu brothers are intriguing to me.
Now Todd is lame, but I do enjoy a slow burn.
Later that night, Bailey returns to her office to find Owen sitting behind her desk.
She’s elated, and he’s miserable.
Owen interrupts with disturbing news.
A woman from the Medical Accreditation Association is threatening to pull the residency program from Grey Sloan.
There have been many complaints.
What’s Bailey going to do?
What if Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) leaves?
Sweet Zola tells her mom that she and her siblings will follow Meredith wherever medicine may lead.
Even if that’s Minnesota.
Does this mean the Greys will be road-tripping, too?
And how many hearts will be broken as a result of that decision?
