Grey's Anatomy recap

Grey's Anatomy is known for epically dramatic season finales that bring death and destruction, and this year's episode is no different. It's not quite as gut-wrenching as the season-eight plane crash or the season-six shooter, but there are still a lot of near-deaths and the potential loss of yet another beloved character on the show.

A couple of relationships are killed off the show too (or at least they're on the rocks), while other pairs come together in the wake of the traumatic storm. There is one big bright spot in the episode: the arrival of Meredith and Derek's new son! Let's break down all the major events when you read more

A lot — and I mean a lot — happens on Grey's Anatomy this week, and we're not even at the finale yet! We're talking fires, man-kebobs, and flash mobs, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. Jo and Jason's fight takes an unexpected turn when Jason turns up in even worse shape than she's in, and naturally everyone (including me) assumes that Alex has beaten him to a pulp — but there's more to that story than a battered girlfriend.

Owen is trying to get the hospital prepped for the huge storm that's headed to Seattle, and April gets a big surprise that's even more unexpected than the inclement weather. There are a lot of other shockers packed in too, so let's get down to it when you read more

There are some gasp-worthy moments in this week's episode of Grey's Anatomy, and I'm not just talking about the magician who accidentally saws his assistant in half for real. Jo's relationship with Jason takes an unexpected turn that will change everything, Bailey's having trouble moving on from the big investigation, and some drunk 21-year-olds ask Jackson for a breast exam (OK, that part is actually pretty funny).

Since we're leading up to yet another epic finale (a huge storm is coming, naturally), the big guns are coming out, and I have a feeling we're about to see some major shake-ups. Let's get down to business when you read more

Remember the days of Grey's Anatomy past, when Meredith was always at the center of the big drama on the show? Well, now she's taking a backseat, and this week Bailey steps into the spotlight as the hospital comes under fire for the recent staph infection outbreak in patients. Not that I'm complaining — I love seeing Meredith's biggest problems revolve around her pregnancy, and Chandra Wilson truly shines this week as Bailey grapples with everything that happens (and has happened).

While Bailey is questioning herself and her peers, Alex inadvertently pushes Jo away just as he's coming to terms with his feelings for her. Cristina also feels like there's distance in her relationship with Owen, especially as he grows closer with Ethan and continues to emerge as a father figure.

This week's Grey's Anatomy feels an awful lot like a filler episode, but there is one bright spot: Sarah Chalke (who played a doctor herself on Scrubs) makes a guest appearance as a concerned mother who can't figure out what's wrong with her son.

Other than that, it's a lot of same old, same old: Alex is still annoyed with Jo's new boyfriend, Meredith is busy making plans for her new baby, and April and Matthew take a step in their relationship. There's a caveat to that, though: we still see a glimmer of feeling between April and Jackson. Let's break down this week's episode when you read more

This week's episode of Grey's Anatomy may be titled "Idle Hands," but it's certainly not a slow week at Grey-Sloan Memorial. Meredith is stressing nonstop about her pregnancy (and fearing the worst in terms of birth defects), Cristina gets a wake-up call about her new status on the hospital's board, and Shane gets a private lesson in dealing with the family of a patient from Derek.

Over in relationship land, April is still lying to her new boyfriend, and Alex takes some pretty immature measures to push Jo's guy out of the picture. Ready to break it down? Just read more

Goodbye Seattle Grace, hello Grey Sloan Memorial! It's a new beginning for the surgeons on this week's episode of Grey's Anatomy, which means plenty of growing pains. Jackson (aka the new "king") is in over his head as he tries to put out fires all over the hospital, and there's plenty of backlash from essentially everyone around him.

In the midst of all the chaos, Alex finally confesses that he has feelings for Jo (though not to her), and Catherine and Richard grow closer. Ready to break it all down? Just read more

It's a thunderous episode of Grey's Anatomy this week, and I'm not just talking about the weather. Derek, Meredith, Arizona, Callie, and Cristina get ready to implement some radical changes at the hospital, though none of them is really ready for what's about to happen. Bailey becomes increasingly fed up with what's been going on at work, and Owen is left in the dark when his friends drop a huge bomb on him at the end of the episode.

On the romance front, April and her paramedic discover that they have more in common than they thought, and Alex's feelings for Jo are becoming more apparent (at least to the audience). Let's break it down when you read more

It's pretty boy vs. bad boy on Grey's Anatomy this week when Jackson and Alex are both chosen as candidates for brand ambassador as part of the new Seattle Grace initiatives. So what does that mean exactly? Basically, one of their faces will end up on posters all over the hospital. At first, Alex isn't so interested in being followed by a photographer all day long, but once Jackson is in the mix, it turns into a full-on competition — complete with coaches in each corner.

A poster boy isn't the only change that's on the way for the hospital, and Callie is determined to fight back the best she can, especially when she and Webber visit another hospital and get a glimpse into their bleak futures. There's also a healthy dose of romance this week, as Stephanie and Jackson's relationship heats up and April finally finds a new guy. Let's break down all the happenings when you read more

Grey's Anatomy turns into The Hunger Games this week (well, according to Bailey) as some serious changes are made in the wake of the settlement. Cameras are installed to keep a closer eye on all of the procedures, the doctors are forced to attend seminars in order to homogenize their surgical skills, and the ER is about to shut down for good.

So how do the doctors respond? Cristina wastes no time mouthing off to the "eyes in the sky," Bailey sucks up to ensure her job stability, and Derek and April join forces to keep the ER open. In the end, most of their efforts are for naught, as we learn that the changes are only about to get more radical. Let's break down the big happenings of the episode when you read more
