Major spoilers are included in this episode review. Read with Caution.

Yes! I have finally gotten the time to write this episode review. The second part of the two-hour premiere will be posted right after this one. This post will only cover the first half of the premiere as it is technically the first episode. Got it? Good. Let’s go into this.

This picks up the following day after the season 14 finale.

The episode opened with a vivid sex dream. Meredith Grey was getting it on with Andrew DeLuca, then Jackson Avery (ew!), and finally Koracick. I think she’s starting to get lonely.

Jackson, Maggie, and DeLuca walk to work. DeLuca is somewhat tired and embarrassed that he kissed Meredith Grey, then he saves Jackson and Maggie from getting hit by a car. The bicycle girl was not lucky.

Jackson starts to believe in the bigger meaning… I really wish April was still on the show for this revelation. He does everything in his power to keep her alive, but I’m jumping ahead of myself. They take bicycle girl to GreySloan and we meet the new hired “Ortho God” — Dr. Link and his sidekick, Dr. Nico Kim.

I think Dr. Link is an okay character… no Callie Torres, but Dr. Nico Kim is flirty with Dr. Glasses. This adds a new level of fun for Dr. Glasses, who drops things and flinches whenever Nico winks at him. Please make them a couple or something… I see the potential!

Teddy has a change of heart about interim chief after learning about Owen and Amelia’s bizarre situation. She tells Bailey that she is leaving again and then runs into the weird couple and their new child. Teddy excuses herself and then runs into Casey Parker, who is roped into her situation, who then ropes Maggie.

Bottom line: sworn to secrecy about Owen being the father of her child.

DeLuca is the MVP of the episode, literally saving the doctors from certain death. During surgery, Roy is caught on fire but DeLuca manages to save him from getting too hurt. This doctor was about to call in sick too… wow.

Alex and Jo are relaxing on their honeymoon. Then Jo decides to work during their vacation and has a major breakthrough about the future of medicine.

My favorite part of the episode is Amelia confessing what she wants to Owen. I was in shock that she admitted how much she loved Owen and how she will not fight Teddy for him, but she had to let him know where she stood. Then they kiss and my heart rejoiced in their rekindled romance that we saw coming from 3,000 miles away.

Part two is here.
