‘Grey’s Anatomy’ recap: Six major shocks in the fall finale
Greys Anatomywriters definitely takefall finalesseriously.
First and foremost, Meredith is back and everyone celebrates the wonder that is Dr. Grey.
She is welcomed with open arms, hearty handshakes, and a big, fat cake.
GREY’S ANATOMY – “Let’s All Go to the Bar” – Jo becomes a safe haven volunteer and gets a call that a baby has been dropped off at Station 19. Meanwhile, Meredith moves forward with her life after facing the medical board. Jackson takes a big step in his budding romance with Vic, while Bailey and Amelia swap pregnancy updates on the fall finale of “Grey’s Anatomy,” THURSDAY, NOV. 21 (8:00-9:01 p.m. EST), on ABC.

Cristina even checks in via text message to see if Meredith received her package.
Sadly, it seems to be MIA somewhere in the hospital.
The residents rally around their favorite doc, including a very confused DeLuca.
Look at all that space shes giving him!
The entire group, high on sugar, piles into a little girl named Jamies room.
She has a mass between her ribs and Meredith is eager to see exactly what it could be.
Some sort of complication from the gall bladder surgery she performed on Jamie a few years ago.
Other people are a little bit more aggressive with their diagnosis.
And by other people I mean Dr. Cormac Hayes who is the new Chief of Pediatric Surgery.
Ill tell you what, this guy makes me forgive the fact that Alex is over at Pac North.
Hayes is a hottie.
An Irish hottie who has a bit of an attitude problem.
This guy and Meredith are totally hooking up.
Speaking of hooking up, Catherine pulls into the hospital and finds her son all up in Victorias business.
Her assumption is that Jackson is cheating on Maggie.
When Jackson confesses that he and Maggie have been broken up for months, Catherine slumps in her chair.
I think she wanted to yell at her adulterer son instead of her adulterer husband.
Are you really supposed to hold hands when praying the Serenity Prayer?
No wonder Catherine was livid when the Pac North intern thought Gemma was Mrs. Webber.
Now, lets talk babies because there are an unusual amount of joyful bundles in this episode.
Station 19 has a baby and Jo struggles with her emotions.
Ben tries to explain that these babies have been surrendered, not abandoned.
The parent did not leave this baby.
The person who gave birth to it left this baby.
The parent is waiting to meet this sweet child.
Amelia admits that shes scared.
What if something is wrong or shes growing an alien in there?
Bailey gives her that Bailey look and tells her that its easier to fight fear with information.
Go get the sonogram.
Bailey leaves her to think on these things as she rushes along doing rounds.
When she sees that Captain Herrera is the next patient up, she sends the others along.
The Captains cancer is back.
Its aggressive and he doesnt want chemotherapy.
Poor Bailey miscarries her baby and the sight of Ben hearing the news is heartbreaking.
Bailey chooses to be alone and sends Ben to go drinking with Herrera.
Maggie cant screw this up.
Except the heart doesnt start pumping after taking it off bypass.
Maggie understandably freaks out and Teddy has to step in and be the voice of reason.
Telling the mother in the NICU was the worst.
What does Maggie do?
She tells Koracick that she is gone, effective immediately.
Teddy rushes out to follow her and Koracick offers Teddy the job as his new cardio chief.
Teddy flies off the handle and pleads for Tom to stop trying to win her back!
By his calculations, Owen hasnt proposed to anyone, even though they have a baby together.
Thats a deep cut.
Back at Grey Sloan, Dr. Hayes orders someone to book an OR.
Jamies scans have come back and he is sure theres a tumor on her ribs.
Grey talks the mom off the ledge, claiming this is the worst-case scenario.
Once in the OR, they learn that the mass is not malignant.
Its a large gallstone.
Meredith was right and Dr. Hayes can suck it.
Having raised a few 13-year-old boys, Dr. Hayes tells Jamie that hes sure Zachary is just terrified.
Boys cant talk to girls at that age.
Especially the ones they like.
The next thing we know, Meredith and Dr. Hayes are in the elevator together.
Even the worst-case scenarios.
Meredith halfway rolls her eyes at him and texts Cristina back: I didnt receive it.
Dr. Hayes demeanor changes and he offers another bit of information.
He tells Meredith that his wifes doctors didnt extend him the same courtesy before she died.
Meredith jerks her head up and watches him as he walks down the hallway.
We see texts from Cristina: Not it.
That perfect nickname is followed by three four-leaf clovers.
I dont know this guy one bit, but I trust Cristina.
Meredith + McWidow = love.
DeLuca spies Meredith salivating over the Irish hottie and for the first time realizes that Link was right.
He shouldnt have told Meredith to take some time, because he is not her equal.
HE IS A RESIDENT.
Do you know what else doesnt add up?
She isnt twenty weeks pregnant like she originally thought.
Shes twenty-four weeks pregnant.
That means that her sweet baby will not be getting Links dazzling eyes and fabulous chin dimple.
This baby is going to have red hair and a love of all things military.
Owen is the father.
Ben is there with Herrera.
The residents are boozing it up.
If youre keeping count, this is what we call SHOCKER #6.
