Until it doesn’t.
After being mostly asleep for eight days, Meredith is awake.
And the people in her life are delighted that she is acting like beating the virus.
Unfortunately, theres no time for a proper celebration.
Seattle Presbyterian has reached capacity and is sending their patients to Grey Sloan Memorial.
Three of these patients arrive in ambulances, straight fromStation 19,courtesy of yet another crossover event.
The girls started a fire with the hope that firefighters would come to save them.
One of the girls' mother was arrested on the scene due to an altercation with the police.
Avery calls BS, fixes the girls burned arm, then leaves the room to make a few calls.
Read: he calls his lawyer and asks him to pay for the woman to get out of jail.
Suddenly Owen instructs someone to move the girls upstairs since the kidnapper is coming in right behind them.
The man is handcuffed to his bed.
A woman lurks in the ER and shares a bogus story with Schmidt that she was mugged.
Her shifty eyes immediately give her away as someone who is up to no good.
Is she a bad person?
Evidently, she knows the kidnapper and is relaying information to another person on the phone.
Her anxiety is alleviated when she learns he had a stroke.
She leaves the hospital, and DeLuca spots her.
Do you know what else is annoying?
The storyline between Teddy and whichever guy she loves that week.
Even Richard is fed up with her sorry attitude.
Her screwed up life is on her.
Teddy does own it, and it blows up in her face.
Teddy tells Owen she loves him, but hes out.
Does that mean shell go back to Tom?
Its hard to tell.
), Tom is shaken.
Their interaction was so fun and classic Tom.
It was a breath of fresh air to see two people having a good time onGreys Anatomy.
Everyone else is still exhausted in the trenches.
We forget what our front line medical professionals are going through on a daily basis.
They are still fighting to save lives, and the rising death count still disheartens them.
We need to see Bailey grieve over her mothers death.
Of course, DeLuca will encourage her and praise her talents before gently demanding she go away.
Its natural for Richard to feel the weight, not only of his patients but of his staff.
And then theres Maggie, who reaches her own breaking point.
Why is it that they are disposable and rarely seen as victims?
Why are they ignored?
And why isnt anyone infuriated by the fact that this plague is killing Black people at a higher rate?
We should be outraged.
How does Maggie carry it all?
Its because she gave an oath.
Just like Meredith, who hears a patient coding across the hall.
Then she passes out in Helms arms.
Teddy breaks the bad news to Amelia, Bailey, and Richard.
Merediths stats, which were perfectly fine hours before, are now plummeting.
We see Meredith drift in and out of her beachfront dream world.
She preferred those be saved for other patients.
Even so, its not looking good.
If Meredith Grey dies, will the show go on?
You never can tell with these writers.
Do we have another Derek Shepherd-pop in death on our hands?
Well have to wait for the Spring premiere to find out.
Heres hoping Grey Sloan gets the vaccine.
