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

Megan Hunt returned. Thankfully, she didn’t bring Riggs along, but I’m happy to see her. Meredith and Megan hugged, but the biggest surprise of the episode was Owen’s response… He had no idea she was coming and then add Teddy being pregnant and not dating each other… It’s a lot to process. Poor sister. But this episode finally addressed Owen’s issues, character flaws that expanded back to his introduction back in season five.

Owen needs serious help. Having his sister in his life, a sibling and not a love interest (Cristina, Teddy, Amelia), might be what he needed all along. However, getting this help may destroy Teddy and Koracick, who are the best unexpected couples. Everyone else was pretty obvious, but this couple definitely caught me by surprise. Don’t leave.

Jackson and Meredith’s amazing friendship is incredibly underrated, and it needs to stop. Why is nobody talking about the subtle closeness they developed over 9 seasons, and their shared understanding of one another (living up to surgical family legacies). This week? They discussed their “father”, Richard Webber! That’s their “dad”, not random man in the woods or Thatcher… Webber is the guy who comes their heads first.

The DeLuca - Richard scenes were well-written this week, filled with uncertainty, and while I appreciated this story on its own… Richard finding out he was dating Maggie is still my favorite thing between them. I was happy Meredith sought Webber’s approval.

Miranda and the Student STEM club was just priceless. Those young ladies should’ve been scarred and uncomfortable, but they focused on Miranda Bailey’s fierceness and called it a good day. This particular episode is reminding me so much of the older seasons (7 and 8 era), and making it work with these new additions.

Jo’s story arc is breaking my heart. Link and Alex are at a loss on what to do. This is apparently the worst she’s ever been, and I’m honestly scared. What Jo is going through is unimaginable to the two good men in her life, and she’s drinking excessively… I’m about to cry whatever happens next as we close season 15.

Overall, this episode was well-put together. Catherine Fox saying “penis” a million times to her son is always welcomed, but I’m scared. Amelia’s been MIA lately. Where is she?
