#ga: 16x02 back in the saddle

Grey’s Anatomy 16x02

Amelia’s pregnancy was a surprise last week, and I would be lying if I said it was a good one. However, tonight's scenes almost made it worth it. They’ve only been together for a few months, but Amelia and Link fit together so beautifully already. Both of their fears towards parenthood and regarding their past trauma are valid, but they’re fears – things that can be overcome, if you’re with the right people, and I’m absolutely confident that they are those people for each other. It won’t be easy, but I can’t wait to see what happens.

I didn’t know what to expect from Jo this week, or what state of mind she would be in, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the light back in her eyes after so long. As for Alex, well, he’s always been a supportive husband, and it was heartwarming to see that side of him again this week. Jo has a long road ahead of her, and I know there’s a flashback episode coming up that might bring up new issues, but she’s bounced back so beautifully from where we left off last season.

I am so, so proud of both Jo and Amelia tonight. Only. Freaking. Superheroes.

Miscellaneous Matters:

Link is an absolute sweetheart. I love how the show is highlighting his relationship with Amelia and his friendship with Jo and making him a central player in both storylines. He’s quickly become one of my favorite characters, and I hope we get to see as much of him as possible this season. 

Alex and Webber also provided some cute comic relief this episode, although it does break my heart that they no longer work at GSMH. 

To be honest, I skipped over a lot of the scenes featuring Meredith, Jackson, Owen, Bailey, and Maggie. That being said –

Meredith: Why? Just, why?

Jackson is an ass. Maggie needs to learn to move on; she deserves better.

Can Owen stop. doing. anything? Except for going to California to visit his sister for a while; I’ll be okay if he does that. I’m tired of him.

I have no idea what’s going on with Bailey/Koracick, but a) what exactly is Koracick’s new role? and b) Bailey’s getting really annoying. I understand why, but it’s tiring.

That’s it for now. Until next week!
