Grey's Anatomy Recap: Which Exes Kissed? And Who's Leaving Town?
Diagnosis: back on? The March 5 episode of "Grey's Anatomy" found Teddy embarking on one of the most dangerous surgeries of her career... before wading back into familiar waters with Owen. Here we go again!
To say that Teddy spent most of the hour in a panic spiral would be an understatement. Not only was she about to perform a procedure she's only done once before (on Nora of all people!), but she already made a bad call in delaying this particular surgery for her patient. In other words, quite literally everything was on the line here.
Upon discovering Teddy in a supply closet, Owen attempted to comfort her, telling her to take a breath — but this only set her off further. "Don't tell me what I need," she snapped. "That's not your job anymore. And, frankly, it was infuriating when it was!" Owen backed out of the room quietly, agreeing to watch the kids while she performs her surgery.
Despite one terrifying hiccup (so much blood!), Teddy's risky surgery turned out successful, and she was relieved to finally go home after working for almost two straight days. Owen wasn't about to bring up Teddy's outburst, so she decided to be the bigger person, apologizing for biting his head off in a moment of stress.
But instead of causing Teddy more grief, Owen seemed to completely understand. "You are at your best when your back is against the wall," he told her. "A little mean, sometimes, but brilliant." Suddenly, the mood changed. "You are never going to stop believing in me, are you?" she asked, to which he replied, "Why would I?"
And then... a kiss! One day after they signed their divorce papers! Do these people think they're on some fort of medical soap opera or something?!
Elsewhere on this week's Grey's Anatomy...
* When Katie was admitted to the hospital for severe breathing problems, Lucas blamed himself for ignoring a call and text from her earlier in the day, also blaming Bailey for telling him to focus more on his other patients. This led Bailey to tell Lucas he needs to take a step back from Katie's case. (And Bailey doesn't even know about their little trip to the marina a few episodes back. Lucas is in deep and he's the only one who can't see it.)
* After their romantic night together, Amelia was worried about telling Toni that she has a son. Fortunately, her fear ended up being for nothing, as Toni also has son. Needless to say, a playdate is in order.
* Jules and Mohanty were paired up on a patient this week, but Mohanty was in no mood to play nice. Her only goal was to impress Toni to secure a transfer to Boston, and she saw Jules as a threat to that, going as far as to prevent Jules from participating in a surgery. It all blew up in her face in the end, though, when their patient experienced complications and Toni had to step in. Now the guy will have to endure multiple additional surgeries, and he may not live long enough to go on safari with his wife. All he wanted was to see the zebras!
* Jo was thrilled to hand off her babies to a nanny for the first time, but that excitement was soured when she learned that Link has been sneaking off to his rental property for alone time. Link apologized for the secrecy, but he also encouraged Jo to find an escape room of her own. A she shed? A dame den? A lady lair? Honestly, they're all terrible names, but if anyone in this couple deserves one, it's Jo.
* Simone spent much of the episode trying to convince Wes that she isn't trying to have a baby after he overheard Jules talking about freezing their eggs, but it turned out Wes had something far more important on his mind: his brother's epilepsy has gotten worse and he's now in a coma, so Wes is going out of town for a while. "I just didn't want you to wonder where your lap dances went," he told Simone, implying that things are OK between them... for now.
OK, let's talk: Do you think this kiss will lead to a reconciliation between Owen and Teddy? Was Jo surprisingly chill about her husband secretly using his old apartment as a getaway? And can Jules and Mohanty's patient please just live long enough to see the zebras? Drop a comment with your thoughts on this week's "Grey's Anatomy" below.
