Grey's Anatomy Universe

Maggie's farewell will be a two-hour block, with 19x14 and 19×15 airing back-to-back on April 13th.

“Shadow of Your Love/Mama Who Bore Me”: It’s Maggie’s last day. Amelia’s relationship with Kai is tested, and Ben worries as Bailey’s doxing intensifies. With Levi’s help, a patient celebrates a milestone. Jo processes a difficult diagnosis, and Maggie and Winston decide their future.

I guess that means the setup for her exit will happen in 19x13. Also, is that a diagnosis for Jo or one she has to give to a patient?! And I wonder how far they're going to go with this doxing storyline...

4x14 and 4x15 and 15x13 ? I'm a bit lost and confused.
btw, 2 hours in April, 2 hours in May...Mhm...

LOL I don't know where the fuck I got those numbers from. I meant 19x14 and 19x15 ddd.

Because the show started so late this year, they need to end by May, and the show that follows Grey's ends this week, so they're doubling up and giving us a few 2 hour episodes.

I'm hoping Winston stays but if he does, I guess that's the end of Winston and Maggie.
Seems like Winston is staying. I liked that they gave his a badass surgery this week, and Owen told him not to switch specialities. Seems he'll take over as head of cardio when Maggie leaves, unless they have a last-minute reconciliation.

Do I even wanna know what the doxing storyline is...
Addison is being doxed because she's traveling to provide abortions. The van had been broken into and her address was leaked online. One of the trainees posted that she'd be at GSM, that's why the protestors showed up. The car that hit her + the pregnant trainee was intentional, they were trying to kill her. So it seems like Bailey will be targeted next. I actually like that they're turning it into an ongoing storyline through the season rather than just doing a Roe V Wade "very special episode".
 
If Grey's was still as good every week as it was tonight – whew. That was easily the best episode since the finale last year, by a long stretch (and this season has been solid so far!). The 'this episode felt like old Grey's!' thing gets thrown around a lot, but this really did: heavily medical-focused, several surgery scenes, patients we were invested in, great mentoring moments (Addison/Simone, Richard/Yasuda), several good character moments (Maggie & Winston finally talking/fighting, Jo breaking down with Link, the cute Amelia/Link/Addison scenes), and a fun patient story to balance out the heaviness.

The entire first act with injured Addison springing into action to save Tia and so many of the surgeons working in neighboring rooms – that was SO good. I was holding my breath.

I love that they've kept Levi's new boo around, even as a background character so far. It's nice to see Levi excelling as chief resident and having someone actually care about him.

Maggie's exit is officially in motion next week:

 
I know they've sent literally four ex-series regulars to Boston at this point but it actually made sense for Maggie to move there because of Meredith, the kids and her dad being there. Weird that they're going to send her to Chicago.

There could be a spinoff about Boston ? It would be nice... but maybe too expensive

Not a big news about Mer & Nick, but I didn't get that

Also on her way out is Kelly McCreary, who after nine seasons will last air in a series-regular capacity as Maggie in the Thursday, April 13, episode. Like Pompeo, she is is expected to continue to make guest appearances now and again.

It was reported before that Kelly will appear again in season 19 after her "official" exit in episode 15. Like Jackson, Meredith, and Koracick, she'll do episodes here and there as a guest star.

Unrelated, but this is absolutely heartbreaking and devastating for Caterina.

How absolutely devastating for her, this has me welling up.
 
In tenuously connected news, I watched the first episode of "Six Four" on ITV, with Kevin McKidd giving an understated and realistic performance (no, really) in a detective drama adapted from the Japanese best-seller. Is Kevin preparing for a post-Grey's career, or just taking any opportunity to work in his native Scotland?

He filmed that sometime last year, and recently said again that he has no intention to leave Grey's if it's up to him. I don't think Owen is going anywhere.

Also - basically zero actual spoilers in the article below, but Krista confirms that the plan is to have Ellen back for a few episodes again next season.

“It wasn’t a farewell episode, it was a leaving-Seattle episode, because we knew we were going to see Meredith again this season and more next season as well. So it was a different kind of farewell than some that we’ve done where it’s like, ‘That’s the last you’re ever going to see that person.’ We didn’t want to do that."

 
I'm so happy about how good the show is at the moment. It was going to go on whether the quality remained high or not, so I'm glad it's been solid all year. It really feels like things are building now.

- I yelled at the screen when Simone asked Lucas to be her "Man of honor". EVIL. That wedding is gonna be a mess, and I can't wait. I wonder if the wedding will be the finale? Or if it just won't happen?
- Lucas has become really entertaining, and I was rooting for him with that diagnosis tonight. The interns have made the show feel so fun and vital again. Speaking of...
- Teddy seeing Yasuda eat the garbage donut was the hardest I've laughed at the show in a while. Midori has been so good every week.
- Jo and Link were adorable, and I think the scenes we got tonight will help more people get onboard. Jo is so completely in love with him at this point, and he's so good to her. She deserves to be as happy as she looked in that final scene.
- Loved Bailey giving the Chief Resident pep talk to Schmit. His journey is so fun this season.
- I wonder if we're hinting at an Amelia breakdown with both Mer and Maggie leaving, and seemingly troubled with Kai next week, too?
- Jules and Blue are hot, I want more of them!
- Maggie has gone full Ellis. Winston needs to let her go. I wonder if we were supposed to be on her side in that last scene? But I didn't agree with her at all. Both actors have been doing a great job the last few episodes, though.

Yikes at that ending. The press releases hint that this storyline will go on for several weeks, so I'm wondering how dangerous of a situation Bailey is going to end up in. The stakes feel pretty high considering we already got a brick through a window and Addison hit with a car...
 


I saw this today and squeeled. Seeing Shonda, Ellen, Chandra, James, and Krista alongside all these newer faces feels special. I don't think we've seen Shonda on set since season 16 for the 350th episode?

Also, the way this has been easily the best overall season since 14 has me positively gooped for whatever they're going to throw at us in the finale (and for the next 826 seasons...).
 
I still haven't watched since 19x07 and I don't really miss it, but I'm still curious about what's going to happen with Maggie and what the finale is going to look like.

Flop fan!

Honestly, I miss Meredith and the show is definitely different without her – but, not necessarily in a bad way.

It feels like they're finally free to move the story forward. Not knowing whether Ellen was leaving or the show was ending felt suffocating for a while. Right now, Bailey has a great arc going on, the interns are all getting good development, we're finally seeing Levi come into how own, the medical stories have been strong, and Teddy has been a badass chief – even Maggie and Winston have actually been interesting (if not frustrating). The show is really enjoyable at the moment. Once you get past the fact that Mer isn't around full-time, there is so much to like right now. And I think with Maggie on her way out, it will give them even more opportunity to lean into all the stuff that's working so well. Grey's tends to be at its best towards the end of each season, and it feels like things are really ramping up now.

Unrelated, I love how close the new interns have all become.
