Major Spoilers are included in this episode review. Please read with caution.

Ben and Miranda are expecting a baby! Jo has a flashback episode that gives closure to her mental health storyline! Meredith’s going to jail! Everything is going so well for the first two characters. Alex hasn’t been given much screentime lately, and that makes me worried. Richard Webber fights off Gemma’s advances, and his rejection was of her was well-done. I hope it’s the end of that craziness.

Jo’s flashback episode with her therapist was much-needed. I was kind-of worried that the show would gloss over her season 15 ending and have her “magically-healed” from her issues. This episode peeled back the layers for Jo, showed us how she began to heal, and have her apply those changes in the present day. Plus, her reaction to Bailey’s news was super cute.

Meredith and DeLuca are having relationship issues, but Zola’s having shunt issues. Meredith ditches her court hearing or trial to get her daughter to the hospital, and luckily, everything goes well with Zola’s surgery. Koracick was able to revise Derek’s original shunt. Props to the writers and the show for remembering the small things.

However, Meredith will have to serve jail time because she missed the court appointment. I’m hoping Meredith “wins jail” and does crazy surgery to help…

Overall, this was a low-key episode that ended on a massive “WTF” moment. I’m excited to watch the next episode. Grey’s Anatomy is still going strong after sixteen seasons.
