Grey’s Anatomy 16x11 Final Thoughts

“that's why I never take mine off, except for surgery.” — EXCUSE ME? they really are just going to pretend Alex is okay, huh

On that note, I really can’t handle Jo giving Link romantic advice right now, it’s too sad

That being said, I am here for this new Jo & Jackson & Link brotp the show seems to be developing. Jo & Link for obvious reasons, but I’m surprised by how well Jackson works his way into there too…and, at this point, any storyline not focused on his abysmal love life is a good one

 “you call the ER the pit? why?” “…i dunno.” — this was funny. I like this new doctor a lot more than Deluca, and honestly, Cristina has good taste. I hope he and Meredith at least become good friends, if not something more.

“Light a candle.” — okay, not gonna lie, Tom was acting like an asshole tonight, and I didn’t care for it. I wish the writers would figure out something else for him to do besides fuck-up-and-reveal-something-about-his-past-in-the-apology. However, this was a really sweet moment, and Bailey lighting that candle at the end beautifully paralleled the time when the doctors all lit one for Cristopher.

Teddy and Owen’s plot was actually somewhat entertaining, but Teddy definitely can and should do better. Something about Owen saying that he “never should have given [her] that ring” just didn’t sit right with me.

“We’re talking about Owen, right?” So anyway, we should set up a gofundme to buy the grey’s writers some calendars

Amelia and Link better be endgame because they both deserve happiness and that’s that

But I do have to admit that Link has every right to walk away if he chooses to do so; if the timelines really do line up the way the writers want us to think, Amelia should have gotten a paternity test as soon as she realized she was pregnant, and I can see why Link’s feeling like he can’t really trust her at the moment.

And I hate that the above bullet point was something that I even had to write out. I hate this storyline so. much.
