There was good news on ABC tonight: Grey’s Anatomy Season 11 Episode 9 finally offered viewers fresh footage of this popular drama.
There was also bad news on ABC tonight: pretty much everything that actually happened on Grey’s Anatomy Season 11 Episode 9.
The hour opened with Derek and Meredith still fuming at each other, the latter actually tossing away their Post-It-based wedding vows in anger. WHOA, right?!?
By the following day, Derek was off to DC and Meredith was seeking a nanny.
She was also seeking a “person,” breaking down in front of a potential child care giver at one point.
That evening, however, just as we expected Meredith to call Cristina, she phoned her husband instead.
"I don’t want to fight anymore. I don’t want you gone,” she told Derek.
Derek, stuck at the airport, offered to return for the night, but Meredith said no. He should go. But he should go in a "good" way and they’d be alright. She even picked the Post-It out of the trash to prove it.
In other hospital-related news, Jackson told April about the tragic osteogenesis imperfecta diagnosis of their baby.
April tried to go back to work, clearly in denial, and later went off on Stephanie for not telling her right away. She also screamed at Callie over the injustice of a mother blessed with children driving them off a bridge (i.e. The Case of the Week).
Finally… April lost it. She cried and cried and questioned God and told Jackson: "Did I tell you it’s a boy? We’re having a boy.”
Dr. Herman, meanwhile, learned (via scans of her tumor) that Arizona had consulted with Amelia about her condition. She told her pupil that hope is the worst symptom of her condition and she just couldn’t handle having any at this point.
Arizona, however, argued that Jackson and April wished more than anything that their child had the chance Herman now has, eventually convincing her to go through with the procure. But Herman wanted to continue living a normal life for as long as she could first.
And there you have it! As we head into Grey’s Anatomy Season 11 Episode 10, ask yourself: Were you happy that Meredith and Derek left things on a happy note? At least for now? Are you glad Geena Davis is sticking around long-term?
And how much did your heart break over April’s reaction?
