Sloan Grey Memorial Hospital

We don’t want to leave our love ones before leaving things behind and we’ve just seen all of that on today’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy.

Sad to see that poor young girl’s life on the line in nine-year-old Dylan when she wasn’t moving at all following surgery led by Dr. Amelia Shepherd with the resection of the angioma on her brain. We get Dylan not wanting to take part by going home instead of the surgery following the scans who has other life goals such as taking a hike on a trail map through Deep Lake.

However, there’s just no other way the doctors can do about it in order to let her live as long as she could regardless which is either surgery or no surgery.

It really hit hard on Dylan’s parents as well other parents who gone through the same thing and today’s episode would help send that message – you’re not alone in this and there’s always help you can count on this difficult journey.

For now, I guess we’ll have to find out next week as Dr. Lucas Adams ain’t giving up on Dylan just yet.

Meanwhile, there were other surgery successes on the bright side witha young male patient Spencer following a car crash at high speed.

There was also Mariana with her fiance Edgar by her side who has endometriosis as her orthopaedic surgery came off just fine.

And there was another unnamed male patient with thanks to Kwan and not that intern Dr. Bailey introduced in Amara West following her disappointing trip at the halls of Sloan Grey with Kwan. 

Even though all other surgeries today were a success, we also did see some sad endings by a few others but not as tragic.

No wedding unfortunately for lifelong best friends Mariana and Edgar, who has known each other from the very first day of their lives, after their own parents gave birth to their own children at this same hospital a few decades ago. 

Such a bummer.

Love their sweet story documented by soon-to-be married lovebirds Jo and Link (Lincoln) whose wedding is not too far away in just four days (storyline update). That’s right, can’t wait for that one (next episode) next week, and it’s the second last episode of Season 21 this 2024/25 TV season before the finale..

Plus, Spencer’s dad Mike decided to use his son’s rent money where Winston caught him drinking alcohol and Winston wasn’t one bit happy before Jules Millin split up their little fight when Mike wasn’t really a good dad to Spencer after all.

Jeez wish Jules could stay off a little when her dad had a similar issue like Spencer’s dad Mike like she was 10 while Jules, Winston and Dr. Webber were fixing Spencer’s cracked rib cage (left hand side) at the OR.

But hey, got some good news Jules for you where love how she was preparing her surgical skills at the start of today’s episode on a raw chicken breast – Surprise, Surprise, Simone!

And Kwan, it’s Griffith’s house, Griffith’s rules – no strangers uninvited.

Sigh! It’s been a one rollercoaster of a ride today on GA and the Sloan Grey Hospital in Seattle headlined by that window cleaning superhero’s fall from grace when he had a blood clot and had to crash himself through their windows towards safety – fortunately though, he’s okay. 

Not only that, one of his biggest fans in Yusuf also okay in passing gas when he overcame his health and brother rivalry problems, especially with their mom also hurt and later okay from that window accident as lovely to see the family get back together with the help of that new superhero team led by Dr.’s Ben Warren and Taryn Helm. The actress who plays Helm is French btw who grew up in Grenoble before she made the big move to the US and here she is now on the big screen.

Also, Dr. Lucas Adams the young guy has impressed Dr. Catherine Fox following the 14-year-old girl’s surgery success on her uterus, which puts him back on the map having been stuck in a bitter stoush with Dr. Fox since the start of Season 21 – finally, things went his way after all as congratulations Dr. Adams.

IMG 40752

What else? Also Dr. Winston looking on in front of a camera as if he’s a statue of GA’s liberty including when he looked up to the stars from up high with Jules and looks like they were given a word of warning there by Dr. Webber. 

More of Dr. Richard Webber too getting sick and tired with one little bit of Benson arguing with Simone when one of his friends showed up uninvited at her home but in the end, Richard’s power of words seems to put a patch for these two after Benson had to move on without Molly.

And as the good young couple of Lucas and Simone heads off to enjoy a nice dinner after a long day of work at Slone Grey, Grey’s will be back on Friday May 2nd, 2025 on Disney Plus due to the NFL Draft that is set to take place next week. 

IMG 40662

That’s also Disney Plus as well since Disney has the rights to air NFL games here via ESPN having just made it available there only a few weeks ago.

Hint: Jordan Petaia from the Queensland Reds in Super Rugby and the Wallabies already signed up with the LA Chargers, so he might not be on the field just yet – just on a starting International contract before he can test himself at the deeper end in front of 70-80K of people at some point.

Shoutout to him by the way and there’s only three episodes left before we say goodbye to season 21 and onto season 22 later this year.

It’s been mostly a served cold episode of Grey’s the other day when it comes to love that hits them hard in the worse possible effect, especially to Owen and Teddy when she tried to save a patient straight from the ER who slipped away and had an ice pick stabbed to his chest – it’s just too little, too late to save him following his death that Teddy recorded at 19:24 PM.

Then the guilt sorrows once she filed the finishing paperwork of that patient’s death certificate who later had the chance to confess to Owen about her own love fling with Cass while she was in Vegas with Dr. Miranda Bailey on a medical conference.

IMG 37332

Even though Owen had his own with Nora, he’s the one that is keeping this relationship very wide open together – so hopefully they’re not gonna just fall apart.

Meanwhile, Dr. Bailey hosted a lecture to her fellow staff members with another brain tumour patient in Gabby, and Dr. Joseph Chase was there to help her out on what could be a life-changing procedure. 

It didn’t go down well with Dr. Simone Griffith who once met him and she had her placement program terminated while they were in Washington D.C. Not only that, Dr. Bailey’s husband was even unsure too and guess what Joseph caused so much drama to himself, who then told Dr. Bailey that he can’t finish the procedure because he claims she is no longer eligible to finish off the experiment, before Dr. Bailey finished off the work with wonders by herself with her hubby and she is okay.

IMG 37072

Also, Dr. Webber taught brilliant things to his mentee on an old video tape in Dr. Griffith’s boyfriend Lucas who is learning the ropes in order to meet everything what his wife Dr. Catherine Fox did from the beginning of this 21st season.

And we’ve got some good patient news also at Sloane Grey with a motorcycle enthusiast named Jack has successfully realigned his crooked leg following a recent accident. Now he might have to be really careful as had he not agreed with the surgery, it could have lead to amputation via an infection of sepsis. 

IMG 37062

But at least he was given a VR set so he can continue riding bikes after all thanks to an emotional Benson who is currently going through his break up from Molly and did a great job with Lincoln on this patient case there. We wish Jack all the best, make your health your No.1 & don’t end up like his brother who also passed away off a two-wheel motorcycle two years ago.

GA back for the next new episode Friday on Disney+.

Twists and turns with question marks was the call on this latest episode of Grey’s Anatomy under Season 21, Episode 13.

We witnessed a love swap between Teddy and Owen the other day when Teddy was in Las Vegas for Dr. Miranda Bailey’s medical conference & she ran into another woman named Cass while Owen was also with another woman at the same time & he too ended up in bed with Nora. 

Whatever that is that they’re doing right now, it’s not going to look pretty on these two either way with their marriage, etc.

Although we can take Owen’s line of “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” – again, she did cheat on him in Vegas & Owen in response on Teddy. 

IMG 27872

Sounds like let the blame games begin once she is on her way back to Seattle.

Meanwhile, all hope is lost on Benson Kwan whose relationship with Molly has just came to an unfortunate end when she thinks he’s the reason she is still fighting to try regain lost memories on her brain following surgery with Amelia and Simone.

Tough to hear but it’s the truth as at least he still has friends and work colleagues he can count on with trust.

IMG 27893

What else? Dr. Jo Wilson was being so annoyed by that young guy in Dr. Scott Marcus who yes did save her pregnancy but not so sure with her patients when she was unable to perform day-long surgical procedures at the moment – and him taking over without her notice has kinda put Jo towards a red flag situation.

Also, it’s surgery, not “surge” as Dr. Wilson said by the way Dr. Marcus – you’ve been warned right there.

And last but not least, here’s some more patient follow ups at Grey Sloan.

A lady named Liz who is currently pregnant has a lump on her neck where she had to undergo local anthensia to remove undigestive food including the seizure and it turned out to be a success. 

Love her favourite food of eating Fish Tacos btw having vomited earlier on but that can wait when she will need much needed rest though – good luck with your whatever thing you wanted going on.

IMG 27882

And then there’s a man in Allan Lewis whose kidney function was on the line where an intern (Dr. Lucas Adams), who might have to repeat another year as a shadow doctor & later sought advice from Dr. Catherine Fox’s husband (Dr. Richard Webber), noticed this rare complication following a screen check right away to have him sent straight into the ER. 

The bad news is that his kidney is too damaged & unable to be saved through a series of previous kidney transplants but what he wants to do now is explore things on a bucket list while he can before he dies – hoping this will work out for him as he’s still alive for the better than nothing. 

GA is on every Friday with same-day on-demand episodes from the US on Disney+.

“Night Moves” begins with Teddy and Owen trying to rekindle their romance with a date night, but their plans are interrupted when Owen receives a call from the hospital. Meanwhile, Link and Jo struggle with stress and their relationship as they navigate work and parenting.

Simone casually tells Lucas that she loves him while he is gets into the elevator. Kwan then mocks her for saying that. Mika has been working a lot while taking care of her sister Chloe, who is now in chemotherapy. She is able, alongside Millin, to save Mr. Riley’s life and Mika earns the respect of her colleagues.

Kwan is inspired by his patients’ passion for music, decides to reach out Molly hoping to rekindle their relationship. He leaves a voicemail, leaving the outcome uncertain.

The episode ends with a cliffhanger with Mika falling asleep at the wheel after a long night shift while driving Chloe home. Chloe doesn’t notice this until the last second, but it’s too late. Her scream wakes Mika up, but then, the screen goes black.

“If you leave” begins with Kwan finding socks in his drawer that aren’t his so he goes to Simone’s room where’ she explains she no longer puts her clothes away. Then, he tries to find Mika, but she is absent. Meanwhile, the firefighters rescue both Mika and Chloe from the accident.

Meanwhile, Levi Schmidt jokes about his last day before moving to San Antonio, and as the day unfolds, both Mika and Chloe are admitted to the hospital. In the ER, both Teddy and Bailey work on Mika, who has multiple fractures and blunt trauma to her abdomen. They, with the help of Owen and Ndugu, perform a thoracotomy on Mika due to her perforated liver causing internal bleeding. The surgery is sucessful and Mika is stable and recovering in the ICU.

On the other hand, Chloe’s situations becomes critical due to complications from chemotherapy. X-rays showed multiple fractures in his legs and no blood reaching them so they did billateral fasciotomies to relieve the pressure. She then had a CT, which shows no injuries on her chest and abdomen, but showed a irregularity in her popliteal artery. Link plans ORIFs on her legs but during the surgery she starts bleeding heavily from her leg. Teddy is able to save the leg but Chloe dies after coding.

Levi quit his job and invites James to live with him and he agrees. Mika wakes up from her coma and starts crying after knowing that Chloe died.

“Drop it like it’s Hot” begins with the four interns observing Mika, who has been recovering from the accident and Chloe’s death and preparing to work on a scorching day. As she enter the clinic, Owen encounters Nora, who has been dealing with car troubles. The ER is really busy with heat-related illnesses. 

Mika is welcomed back by Bailey, and Amelia introduces Winston to Jackie, a patient who has serious health issues related to Marfan’s syndrome. As the day progresses, the ER is more flooded with patients than before.

Jo and Lucas go to a convenience store looking for ice but suddenly a masked man enters and hold Gladys at gunpoint. He tells her to open the register.

Back in the hospital, Amelia performs Jackie’s surgery, she clips an aneurysm and after she successfully completed the procedure, Jackie’s heart fails, leaving the surgeons speechless.

Personal relationships unfold: Winstons navigates his feelings for Skye and Mika struggles with her emotions regarding Chloe. She then decides to leave the hospital and shares a heartfel moment with Jules before leaving.

The episode ends with Owen offering Nora a ride while a struggle breaks out in the convenience store.

Post-Notes

In case you missed it, Grey’s Anatomy will be on a mid-season break with no new episodes until early March 2025.

It won’t be the same for some who just left the set of Sloan Grey midway through Season 21 but again, the show’s writers provided a proper ending ahead of the show’s yearly mid-season hiatus (there wasn’t one last year due to the strikes).

We begin with Jake Borelli whose character Levi Schmitt headed off to Texas after he appeared on Grey’s for over 100 episodes. Meanwhile, Midori Francis – as we know it – decided to move on after two seasons amid Mika’s unfortunate circumstances that to the death of her sister Chloe following their car crash.

For now, there’s still more Grey’s Anatomy to come before we will find out whether if they will get a series a series renewal or not at some point depending on their current time slot off the back on a wave of Ryan Murphy scripted shows like 9-1-1 and Doctor Odyssey as well as a possible new 9-1-1 Hawaii spin-off.

A few weeks on from the season 21 premiere episode of Grey’s Anatomy under “If walls could talk”, here’s a recap of stuff you may have missed.

Yes, there wasn’t a new episode last week when ABC chose to air a double episode of Doctor Odyssey where one of them was dedicated a Halloween. Probably ABC wants to give Ryan Murphy a run of their money when it comes to the network’s slate of content they’ve got together & no doubt they will keep on growing this partnership soon enough into next season – such as a new 9-1-1 spin-off from Hawaii. 

It remains to be seen if Grey’s will still be around for a possible Season 22 albeit in another day and timeslot considering their current studio arm ABC Signature has already been integrated under the wider 20th Television umbrella last month.

But for now, the good news is that Grey’s will be back to pick up from episode six later this week – “Night Moves”. 

As always, it will be on 10pm ET tomorrow to round off Thursday nights on ABC in the USA and Canada’s CTV with next day on-demand access via Hulu as well as some Disney + territories both here and New Zealand.

Episode 2: “Take Me to Church”.

In this episode, Catherine finds herself dealing with worsening health problems. Meredith, returning to Seattle, tries to convince her to seek treatment, but Catherine is reluctant to accept medical help. The tension between them escalates, as Meredith discovers lesions in Catherine’s liver that could be cancerous. Together with Bailey, they stage an emotional intervention to persuade Catherine to undergo a biopsy, which she finally agrees to after a poignant moment.

Elsewhere, Kwan is confronted by the unexpected arrival of his former fiancée, Molly, who has lost her memory. As they attempt to reconnect, Kwan grapples with his guilt over a past accident involving her. This reunion strains her emotionality and provokes reflections on the past. At the hospital, Schmitt cares for a young man with Li-Fraumeni syndrome who is battling multiple types of cancer. Deeply moved by the boy’s situation, Schmitt helps him create a wish list, giving him the opportunity to fulfill some dreams.

Episode 3: “I Can See Clearly Now.”

In this episode, Catherine’s biopsy doesn’t go as expected, and her situation becomes critical, forcing Meredith and Bailey to act quickly. When Richard learns that crucial information about Catherine’s health was being withheld, he feels betrayed and furious. Meanwhile, the dynamic at the hospital changes when Bailey is reinstated as director of the residency program, stripping Sydney of her position.

The episode also follows Amelia, who faces a complicated case operating on a surrogate who has a tumor. Her approach to this surgery mirrors the legacy of her brother, Derek, by taking significant risks in the operating room. In parallel, Levi begins to connect with James, the hospital chaplain, which adds a new nuance to his character as he deals with the reluctance of a patient who refuses to sign a DNR order until her ex-husband dies.

Episode 4: “This One’s for the Girls.”

The story centers on Mika’s sister, Chloe, who arrives at Grey Sloan with a stage 3B colorectal cancer diagnosis. Mika feels helpless despite being a surgeon and decides to do whatever she can to help her sister, exploring procedures that could preserve her fertility. In this context, Jules also plays an important role in offering emotional support to Chloe during her treatment.

Ben Warren returns as a resident and his return brings both support and tensions. He faces the reality of working alongside his wife, Miranda Bailey, who wonders how this will affect their relationship. Meanwhile, Owen and Teddy continue to deal with the difficulties in their marriage, looking for a way to resolve their issues. The relationship between the characters becomes more complex, showing how work and personal life often collide.

Episode 5: “You Make My Heart Explode”

The episode features a critical airlift when Schmitt and Adams must transport a young woman named Ophelia, whose leg is in grave danger. The pressure is intense, and Schmitt demonstrates his ability to remain calm in crisis situations, which reaffirms his commitment to pediatric surgery. Meanwhile, Jo, who is expecting twins, faces anxieties about motherhood, which affects her relationship with Link, who also shares his own fears about being a parent.

On a different side of the story, Bailey, Simone and Kwan work hard to get an expensive gene therapy treatment for a fellow hospitalist with sickle cell anemia. This effort shows the team’s commitment to helping others, despite financial barriers. On another plane, Owen and Teddy attempt couples therapy, facing their problems while finding moments of humor even in the midst of a chaotic surgical situation that brings them together.

Grey’s Anatomy has returned with its 21st season. The longest medical drama in history just breaks ground on another round of medical crisis laced with emotional ruminations, hospital politics, and interpersonal drama. 

The premiere episode is directed by longtime guest player Debbie Allen. We pick up where the last season left off. Our anchor characters, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and Bailey (Chandra Wilson), are out of their jobs at Grey Sloan Memorial after being sacked by Catherine Fox (Debbie Allen) – Mer over her illegal research, Bailey after coming to her intern’s defense. 

With such massive changes in the hospital, the doctors must keep going. The premiere episode sees the usual retinue of dramatic patients: protester falling off the sky into the windshield of a car driven by a minor, an injured radical activist crawling through the vent to evade police. It’s just another day at Grey Sloan Memorial. 

IMG 2823 1 1

No longer the chief at Grey Sloan, Bailey tries to play it cool and busy herself at her clinic, but she cannot help it when her former residents come calling for aid. Meanwhile, Mer is in legal trouble with Catherine for her unauthorized Alzheimer’s research. Jackson Avery (returning fan favorite Jesse Williams) comes back to mediate the situation, but by now we already know these ladies ain’t gonna make it easy. 

Things take a surprising turn when Meredith finds Catherine collapsed at her office. It turns out that she has a spinal tumor and warns Mer against telling Jackson and Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr).

Soapy drama is always at the center of Grey’s Anatomy. And it continues to deliver exactly that for its loyal audiences. The novelty has worn off a long time ago (probably around the time they got Lexie Grey killed while trapped under an airplane), but the show consistently knows what audiences want from it. As usual, the hot blooded young interns serve up the relationship drama. This season, we have Mika Yasuda (Midori Francis) and Jules Millin (Adelaide Kane)’s budding romance, while Simone Griffith (Alexis Floyd) faces uncertainty as Lucas Adams (Niko Terho) must make the choice between leaving or staying to repeat his first year. These storylines do not have quite the same bite as the heydays of MerDer or the Alex-Izzie-George love triangle, but they remain on brand: push and pull chemistry, denial, misdirection, sexual tension. 

At this point, Grey’s has an established playbook that people will latch on to for as long as possible. The banters remain heated, the music remains stirring, the scenario as loopy but heartwarmingly wrapped as always. It does feel same old, same old, but Grey’s Anatomy is an establishment now – people tune in out of habit. Those yearning for some spice might no longer be satiated, but as long as the formula sticks, it’s a comfort food that people keep coming back to.

It’s been a long time coming for Grey’s Anatomy fans in Australia when the series was first aired on Seven Network for a number of years back in around 2006-2007 with updated episodes usually several months after the US. Although there wasn’t much hype though over the last decade before they eventually no longer hold any rights of the ABC (USA) flagship prime-time drama as of early 2021. Fortunately, Disney + has picked up the pieces from here where episodes were being a few weeks old in recent seasons and now they will get same-day episodes access as the original US airing including their New Zealand subscribers ahead of Season 21 – which will begin on Thursday 26th September/Friday 27th September here.

Don’t know what time Disney + will drop off these same day Grey’s episode each Friday from this upcoming season (definitely not at the same time as the ABC airing on TV which would be 10pm either side of the US/12pm either side here/2pm either side of NZ), but it’s likely to be around between late afternoon to early evening when the next day on-demand new episodes end up on Hulu as per usual with other ABC scripted prime-time shows.

Sure, times flies so fast with Grey’s over nearly two decades considering the number of high-profile actor/actresses have came here and gone like Patrick Dempsey, Sandra Oh & Katherine Heigl. But it’s still a brilliant and iconic long-running show to watch with Ellen Pompeo still around mainly in a executive producer role alongside some occasional acting as Meredith including Chandra Wilson as Dr. Miranda Bailey and several others like Camilla Luddington (Dr. Jo Wilson), James Pickens Jr. (Richard), Kevin McKidd (Owen) & many more.

So glad to hear that Grey’s Australian fans will be able to catch up the latest from Sloan Grey Memorial Hospital in Seattle & its characters alike without having to wait weeks or even find spoilers online when you can simply wait just hours after the original US airdate/airtime going forward & it’s all yours to watch from home or on the go via Disney +. And wouldn’t it be great if ABC Signature (their studio production) finally updated their on-air ident at the same time of the new Grey’s season premiere with the same ABC on-air logo that was last revamped back in 2021 but they still kept the same branding despite this as we shall find out with ABC’s long-awaited new drama show of High Potential (adapted from France) by mid next week.
