Jo is NOT pregnant. What did you consider this storyline and her need to have a baby with Hyperlink sooner or later? Are you for or towards it?
Haley: I would like to see them have a child collectively, and I truly thought Hyperlink’s response was odd.
I may have sworn that he and Amelia broke up as a result of he wished extra youngsters, and she or he did not. Did I think about that? I am type of over the fakeout being pregnant scare, although. It is all so predictable. If somebody says they assume they is perhaps pregnant, they undoubtedly usually are not.
Sara: I absolutely agree with Haley.
At one time, Hyperlink did need extra youngsters. I can completely perceive wanting to attend a bit — I’ve youngsters shut in age, too, and it’s exhausting — however his response was far out of his character. I anticipated him to be enthusiastic about including to the household. I am all for them having a child or two. The extra, the merrier. And storylines do use the entire being pregnant scare scene far too usually. It is lazy writing.
Lucy: I am not stunned Jo desires a child with Hyperlink. He is her individual and I feel (please!) that they’re endgame. I absolutely recognize Hyperlink’s feeling drained and never wanting a child proper now, however that ought to have been the response. He ought to have adopted the adage, “Do not say no, simply say not but.”
I do not assume both of them is prepared for a child proper now, but it surely’s undoubtedly within the playing cards. I do not assume we’ll hear about this once more. The writers do not know what to do with them. They’re completely happy. Give them fascinating medical circumstances and depart the connection alone!
Was Meredith being too exhausting and unfair with Nick, and the way he dealt with the Bailey scenario? Did you sympathize along with her concern due to what occurred to Derek?
Haley: Meredith Gray was coping with some trauma, but in addition…if you happen to take my child to the hospital, I higher be the primary individual you name! What was Nick even pondering? What if one thing had gone horribly incorrect, and Meredith had no concept Bailey was even sick?
She had each proper to be upset that Nick did not name her instantly.
Sara: A part of me understands Meredith’s response as a result of I would momma bear anybody who had my child within the hospital and did not inform me. Nick completely ought to have known as. He cannot say he could not discover a second, particularly once we see Bailey sleeping within the mattress.
Nonetheless, the opposite facet of me says that she did barely overreact. She needs to be appreciative that her boyfriend, who has zero motive to deal with her youngsters — particularly whereas she’s out of city — took such excellent care of her son. I imply, she was the one who determined to go away her youngsters to deal with her profession.
If she trusted him sufficient to babysit them, she ought to belief him sufficient to deal with medical conditions when she is not round.
Lucy: She ought to have been the primary name, or at the least a textual content: ‘Hey Mer, Bailey’s abdomen hurts; the physician in Boston says to convey him in. I am going to name you as quickly as I type of Zola and Ellis”. That is all he needed to do.
That being stated, I agree with Sara that she overreacted. And what’s her excuse for doing this alone for a very long time? Nick has been within the image for fairly some time now. She has nobody to speak to when the children get up at night time.
If Nick is not there, then I’ve considerations for his or her relationship. Nonetheless, I like that Nick does not run when Meredith is being Meredith. He is strong, and I recognize that.
What are your ideas on the storyline with the close to jumper? Do you assume Simone and Blue dealt with it effectively?
Haley: They did the most effective they might, but it surely’s most likely time for some coaching for all interns on dealing with acute psychological well being crises like this.
Possibly Vic from Station 19 can come over and do a crash course. Suicide is a delicate matter, and I feel the writers dealt with it with grace, displaying the affected person’s hopelessness and the way disconnected he felt. I used to be relieved that it resolved with nobody getting harm.
Sara: It was a very good name letting two stressed-out residents deal with a case that wasn’t blood and gore however was equally life-threatening and intense. Not all medical emergencies would require bodily remedies, and it is time for the brand new docs to get expertise with these different circumstances.
Since Station 19 is ending, Vic and Warren might come to Gray’s.
They may add a psych common — cue a brand new position for Ben and Vic and perhaps a resident who has but to decide on a specialty — like Chicago Med has Dr. Charles. It was necessary for Bailey to see that her residents aren’t as ineffective and underqualified as she thinks.
Lucy: Gray’s has at all times dealt with psychological well being with nice sensitivity.
The storyline was lovely, and Griffith was implausible. It was good to see her deal with one thing with such competence; her instincts kicked in, and she or he knew precisely what to do. She is so a lot better when Lucas is not round; she did not get on my nerves with this one. Kwan appeared tremendous nervous however actually got here by way of on the finish, and his compassion, as soon as once more, actually shone.
Blue revealed he is struggled as effectively. Would you prefer to see the collection revisit that storyline?
Haley: I believe it can come again up. Speaking about psychological well being in reveals like that is necessary; folks can usually see themselves represented in characters and really feel much less alone. I hope this goes in a course the place Blue acknowledges his struggles and will get assist.
Sara: I agree with Haley that this is not the final time we’ll hear of this storyline. As I discussed, he’d make the right candidate to group up with Vic and begin a psychological well being clinic on the hospital, like Bailey’s ladies’s clinic, which we’ve not seen this season.
Lucy: I wasn’t initially certain he was telling the reality. He has finished that previously, speaking about his “sisters” to attach with a affected person. However his ache was clear, and when he rejected Griffith’s invitation to speak, it was evident that his struggles weren’t previously however very current.
I agree that it’s going to come up once more, however it might be a troublesome street for him, particularly if he loses a affected person in some unspecified time in the future. We noticed how he struggled after Maxine, and she or he made it by way of.
How a lot did you get pleasure from Omelia’s surgical procedure?
Haley: Lucas actually stood out right here. I cherished seeing him advocate for the medical pupil/affected person. After which seeing Amelia Shepherd and Owen work collectively to tug off a miracle was a pleasant dose of outdated occasions. They weren’t good as a pair, however I like them as pals.
Sara: The med pupil surgical procedure was a very good case. I additionally preferred seeing Lucas communicate out for his affected person. However I’d have appreciated seeing him within the working room, even when he wasn’t doing something however watching.
I’ve at all times cherished Amelia’s cockiness and willingness to attempt troublesome circumstances. So, I used to be stunned that it took Owen pushing the surgical procedure relatively than Amelia, who needed to persuade Owen. Amelia has by no means backed down.
Lucy: It was a superb case. The med pupil/affected person was a compelling character, and I cherished that Lucas pushed Omelia to do extra. They had been so good collectively within the OR, and it was good to see Owen having fun with himself with the case till every day life introduced him again right down to earth.
Are Simone and Lucas on the trail to reuniting?
Haley: It certain looks like that. They have an actual “will-they-won’t-they” factor happening, and I am beginning to lose curiosity. They’re giving me shiplash. (Is {that a} factor?)
Put them collectively or do not, however there are lots of extra fascinating issues about each of those characters that I would desire we hung out on as a substitute.
Sara: It looks like the Lucas Simone mashup is inevitable. The writers aren’t going to desert the storyline regardless of most of us being tired of it. The entire backwards and forwards is so final season — actually.
I haven’t got the vitality to put money into poisonous relationships, so I do not care whether or not the writers lastly do or do not. However Lucas completely deserves higher than the bipolar narcissism of Simone.
Lucy: Ugh. That is dumb. I like “shiplash” – Haley, let’s make it a factor! It is the right title for it. He wished to speak. And he or she invited him to get into mattress along with her? I’d like it if they simply talked, however that is Gray’s Anatomy, so how doubtless is that?
What are your ideas on Helm blocking Mika?
Haley: This appeared fairly out of nowhere, proper? I am unable to think about why she would have finished that. I hope there is a good motive for it. As a lot as I like the queer illustration, I am not a fan of the facility imbalance between them, so perhaps it is best in the event that they name it quits.
Sara: I completely agree that this scene appeared 100% out of character. Helm has absolutely supported Mika, and she or he is not one to be sneaky and do one thing behind somebody’s again. So I hope it is a misunderstanding and Helm did not do her lady soiled.
In any other case, that relationship shall be lifeless within the water. The writers cannot resolve what position they need Helm to play or how usually they need her within the present. So that they throw her into random scenes and storylines.
Lucy: The entire thing was odd. I assumed it was going to be humorous. Typically, the comedy of circumstances like that’s good, and perhaps it was alleged to be, however the entire thing fell flat.
I hope that Schmitt misrepresented what occurred. Possibly Helm wished Mika within the pit along with her as a result of she thought filling out the bingo board can be higher. I assumed they had been good collectively till now.
Nonetheless, my favourite was Jules calming her down within the locker room. I like their friendship, and I wish to see extra of it.
Was Jules proper to name out Winston? Do you assume one thing is brewing between these two?
Haley: Sure, Jules was courageous and justified in calling him out. I’ve stated it earlier than, however she jogs my memory of Izzie Stevens.
I am reminded of when Izzie known as out Sloan for mistreating interns.
So far as one thing brewing? How do I put this delicately? THERE BETTER FREAKING NOT BE. I fear that Winston “I Married My Former Trainer” Ndugu might not grasp boundaries effectively, however Jules is an INTERN. A NOBODY. BOTTOM OF THE SURGICAL FOOD CHAIN.
Okay, kidding. However she is an intern, and she or he’s susceptible, and attendings want to go away the rattling interns alone already.
Sara: I loved seeing Jules assist Winston get out of his head and private points and deal with his job. The affected person comes first, it doesn’t matter what it’s a must to do. Nonetheless, I am unable to say I would not have reacted like he did with the affected person.
As for one thing happening between him and Jules, I’d not approve of them going that approach. The complete present is getting too soapy, focusing extra on relationships than the medical facet.
I would prefer to see them tone down on all of the relationships and deal with getting these residents able to turn into the following kickass docs of Gray Sloan. As a result of proper now, I would not belief any of them with a hangnail.
Lucy: Somebody wanted to name Winston out, however nobody else was doing it.
He wanted a break after he yelled at Nate (the affected person trapped within the boat), and I assume he did not take it. It took guts for Jules to do after which apologize, and Winston had the grace to acknowledge and acknowledge how proper she was.
Leaping on the gurney to assist the affected person was outdated Winston, and I used to be completely happy to see him return. And I’ll echo Haley and Sara when it comes to one thing between them, please no!
What was your favourite second, storyline, and many others, from the hour? Do you could have anything so as to add?
Haley: I preferred seeing Jules name Winston out and that he (finally) responded gracefully. He is been an actual jerk currently, and I miss the outdated Winston.
Additionally, I loved seeing Lucas passionately advocate for his affected person after which Amelia and Owen listening to him. The one factor I missed was Beltran — with it being a brief season, I hoped we would get extra improvement between her and Amelia quickly.
Sara: I loved the skilled and character improvement from the scene on the roof. We have not often seen the residents cope with circumstances that do not revolve round severe accidents. However we even have but to see them within the working room.
At this level, they’re extra like nurses than interns, and it is fairly boring. It is good to see the writers making an attempt to diversify the docs with expertise aside from surgical. I additionally appreciated Bailey’s pleasure as she watched her child birds take their first solo flight.
I agree with Haley about lacking Beltran on this episode. It will be exhausting to develop her character if they do not have her within the present.
Lucy: As I discussed, I like Mika and Jules.
Additionally, any time Millin will get an opportunity to knock on her household, it is humorous. Calming down an indignant Yasuda with acupressure was nice. She wanted that, and Jules has such a pure approach about her; I assume that is what comes from being raised by hippies.
I additionally actually cherished Warren and Bailey. He is aware of her so effectively, and he’s so good for her; recognizing that the case on the roof was elevating her nervousness, he was in a position to refocus her and calm her down earlier than she had a full-blown nervousness assault.
