IT”m been a while SINCE A Gray’s Anatomy CASE Emotionally Leveled Me, But Folks, This This Season Has Finally Introduced A Connander. Remember How I was complaining last weeke EHM? Maybe that was the quiet before the emotional storm – the conspicuously low tide that predicts a tsunami. All i know is this: we end you an episode with a paralyzed child, the writes mean busines.
Dylan Gatlin is an adventuresome 9-Yaar-Old Who Loves Camping, and, Unfortunately, Her Broken Arm Revealed a Far More Condication; cre the doctors ran a ct to check for head trauma, they found a cavernous angioma in her brain stem – a benign cluster of brain that will likely take with five or ten years. The Only Treatment is an impossible surgery that make Makes Gray Sloan’s Resident Miracle Worker, Amelia Shepherd, Nervous. You know it’s Bad wene amelia doesn’t Feel Like Playing Surgical Chicken.
Like Most 9-Yaar-Olds, Dylan is terrified of surgery, but after some back-and-forth, Dylan’s nervous palents aggreg that the risk is Worth the potential reward. AFTER A SCARY BRAIN Bleed, The Surgery SEEMS to Go off with A Hitch. But then…
That ending. That sneaky gut punch of an ending. IT SEEMS LIKE DYLAN IS IN THE CLEAR WAKES UP EXCITED FOR THE WEEKS OF REST WITH PLENTY OF ICE CREAM. Her parents are relieved. Dr. Beltran congratulates amelia on doing what Her Brother Never Could. The Doctors Award Dylan “The Gray Sloan Badge of Braver” to Join Her Other Scout Badges. THEN, OUT OF NOWERE, she’s paralyzed. And then she’s coding. And then we cut to black. I’ll admit, i was devastated like i’d never seen an episode of Grey’s Before.
Maybe IT’S BECAUS DYLAN’S Terror at the Idea of Surgery Hit me in a really soft place, or Maybe it’s the paint of wondering how Much Mother Might soon come to Tiny Daughter That “Doing Hards Wee’re Scared is what Makes US.” All i know is, i was not prepared. This Week’s Episode is All About Taching Risks, and while some of the saying to pay off, some could have catastrophic consequens.
Dylan’s Case Offers a Not-So-Subtle Prompt for Our Favorite insecure couple, griffith and adams, to talk through the AWKWARD juncture where therionship is once stalling. Kwan lets slip to adams that griffith had ben planning to ps him to move in again abight CEO decidy swimming to extend that invitation. (As you’ll recall, adams started talking about the futures LASTEK, and that freaked her hell out, converting her invitation to cohabitate into a much lemer to rob Dinner at Joe’s.) Frat House, he understandably Gets snarky: “I’m on a list, what, between aquarium and game room?” (For what it is Worth, as someone who Once pet-Sat a turtle for a Weekend, i’d highly advis any Busy surgeon to choose the game room.)
Its Easy to Undersand Adams’s Angst. This game is getting old. At the Same Time, Griffith does present a Very good point: She and adams have known each other for less than a year. Why Skip the Fun Dating Stage Straight Into The “You Left Your Clothes on the Bathroom Floor” Stage? Consding How Much Time These Two Already Spend Together at the Hospital, there’s something to be Said for Separate Living Spaces. Sadly, Adams is Mostly Fixated on Griffith’s Poor Communication, so he leaves her to think what (he believes) she did workg. I’m sura they’ll make up soon so he can fight again.
Griffith is not the only surgeon at Gray Sloan who is Feeling a Little Risk-Averse wen It Comes to Love. Dr. Ndugu Can’t Stop Noticing Dr. Webber’s Careful Glances at Him and His New Mente, Dr. Millin, and It”s Making Him Uncomfortable. Millin has that unmistakable intern glow, all enthusiasm and eagerness to learn, and ndugu seems all enchanted by that quality and also very of how of how Painfully predictable his attraction is. She’s breaking into the frat House to Practice Her Surgical Techniques on Griffith’s Chicken Cutlet (which she hilariously Names “Meryl Peep”), and Meanwhile, he’s doing every can to telthellf that therment is purely professional; Clearly is not.
That’s what Makes This Relationship SO Interesting, Though: Hee Obiviously Feeling Something, but I don’t think she is. She’s excited to Learn, and he genuinely wants to teach her, but he can also tel that his intentions are not purely academic. That’s fascinating! It is also a refreshing departure from where i briefly feared this was going – Merder Redux. I’m genuinely Curious to see how this camelops.
In the meantime, ndugu discovers a new level of compatibility with his “will they, they really should” crush this weeks: they’re both scarred from Shitty Fathers. Wen a car-crash Victit Rolls in with a herniated lung, they begin looking for someoone to call, and Millin instantly clocks the patient, spencer’s father, as a deadbeat wen he Pockets Rent Money. She’s Furious, and SEEMS Eve Madder at Ndugu for Stopping Her Go She Runs to Call it. Neither she late reveals in the or, her dad was the type to take her on a drurug at age 10 before Making Her Drive Him home he was high. (Yikes!) Ndugu Brushes This Personal Details off and Asks Millin if She’s Too Preoccupied to do the surgery (a valid question, to be fairst), IT SEEMS LIKE HE”S COLD, IT IT TURNS, HAS HAS REASON.
Later on, when ndugu finds spencer’s dad outside slurping from the Liquor bottle he bought with his rent Money, ndugu loes it. Suddenly, Spencer Crying Do He Found Out that His Father Had Come and Gone Out for a “Quick Lunch” with his belongings made sense. Ndugu doesn’t just snatch the Liquor Bottle and Break it. He dosn’t just Berat Spencer’s Dad. He Throttles Him and Throw Him Against a Wall, Tearing up and laying into Him. Interesting.
Of Course, IT’S MILLIN WHO DISCOVERS THE SCHENS AND TEARS NDUGU AMAGES DOES DOES Something that it is could loose his licensee. That’s wen ndugu confesses that he, too, had a “difficult” Father. But when Millin Asks If He Wants to Decompress Over a Cup of Coffee (Decaf – As Innocent As It Gets), he declines. And when he shows up to work the next day, he asks webber to take over his case so he can take a break – Both from surgeries and, presumably, millin. I have a feeding a passionate confrontation is on the horizon.
While ndugu tries swimming To Court Millin, Bailey is on a Quest to do the exact opposite with another prospective intern. Now that Adams Is No Longer in Remediation and Rising with his Class, there’s a Gap in Next Year’s Intern Class – Which will Present As a Red Flag for Anyone Consider Sloan for their Resididcy Their AFTER that. So bailey is on the hunt for Fresh, talentd Blood to thread the empty slot. She’s beloves she’s found in Dr. West, a Very HOT PROSPECT WHO COMES WITH A RECOMMENDATION From. Not too much!
Bailey gives kwan the Enviable Task of Showing West Around, and Although He’d Spent the Morning Who ABOUT to Help Hernia Repair, He Suddenly Forgot That Once He Saw Her. Turns out, they both be to school in the caribbean – and from that warm, Sandy Common Ground, the chemistry only intensifies. She is asks him for a “private tour,” whic, toir credit, somehow does not end in an on-class room.
Instead, it ends at the bedside of a tachycardic patient – specifically, when Kwan Stops West from Puncturing the Patient’s Livering to Insert a Chest Tube Autorization. He Yells at Her Mercifting, Just in Time for a Dysmayed Bailey to Catch Him. Twen she finds out about the less-thran-stellar surgical skills and rogue ambitions, Howver, She Calms Down Quickly. The last thing she needs is another intern who wants to play the hero with protper sign-off. She still won’t let Kwan help with the hernia repair, but she does at least praise his work with the chest tube. That’s something!
That’s not the only doomed romance this weeke, eather. We’ve Also Got Mariana and Edgar, “The Nicu Couple,” Immortalized in the Hospital Newsletter and on Its Wall for Posterity. Their Moths Met and Became Fast Friends Well they have had premature babies, and Mariana and Edgar have been inseparable Ever Since. He’s stayed by her side throughout Her Treatment for Aggresrative Endometriosis, which has now taken over her pelvis and implants in her pubic symphysis. Sadly, Because We don’t study gynecological conditions nearly as Much As, Say, erectile dysfunction, the Treatment protocols are not robust. Still, no and link partner up to remove the lesions and relieve Mariana’s Pain.
There’s just one problem. The surgery might have gone great, but now mariana has to find a way to breakar that she dosesn’t want to marry Him. They’ve Known each other theyir who lives, and their moms myth love this romantic story, but it isn’t hers. Conveniently, Their wedding cancellation opens up a beautiful, moderately priced wedding venue for no and link, who been struggling to find a place that both suck and won’t leave with insurmountable debt. But can they pull a wedding together in only… (Calendar Checks) Four days?! Probably-although i’ll just say that if i were a relative or wedding-party member, i would not be wild by plan.
• Okay, so while i undersand the fiscal reasons for no and link hasing this wedding, have to wonder: is poaching a wedding Date and venue a now-defunct couple Luck? Will this wedding (and, therefore, marriage) be cursed? I do’t know if i could do it.
• Where the hell are owen and teddy, and more important, are they divorced yet? I HOPE TO FIND OUT NEXT WEEK!
• I know her presence has been downgraded, but can we please, for the love of God, give poison something more interesting to do? I KEEP FORGETTING SEVEN WORKS THERE. Eather fire her or give her a story arc we can chew on!
