Grey's Recap: Teddy And Cass Are Hot To Go... to Oakland — Plus, Did Molly Regain Her Memories Or Lose Her Life?
It was go time in Thursday's Grey's Anatomy. For Teddy, that meant heading to Oakland with Bailey to attend a medical conference — and, it turned out, getting hot and heavy with Cass. For Molly, that meant being wheeled into the ER, where Amelia attempted to not only rid Blue's ex-fiancée of her seizures but restore the amnesiac's memory. Was the operation a success? Read on.
TEDDY HIT THE BRAKES, OWEN DIDN'T | As "Don't You (Forget About Me)" began, it sure looked like Teddy and Cass were going to test out the openness of the former's marriage. They even bolted the second Bailey's presentation was over to tear off one another's clothes. But when Cass tried to take them from nearly naked to nude, Teddy stopped her. "I feel like I'm cheating on my husband," she admitted. S—t, "this is not gonna fix my marriage."
Meanwhile, back in Seattle, Owen ran into Nora, who'd brought into Grey Sloan a friend with (eww!) undigested food forming a visible lump in her throat. As Nora fretted over her pal, Owen comforted her and later admitted that he and Teddy were no longer exclusive. Cut to: At the end of the episode, as Teddy was texting, hoping Owen had had a nice day, he was having a very nice night making love with Nora.

MOLLY SURVIVED, BUT HER RELATIONSHIP WITH BLUE? NOT SO MUCH | Before Molly went under the knife with Amelia and "one to watch" Simone, Dave showed up at the hospital. Not to see Molly, though, to see Blue and warn him that the woman they loved was obsessed with regaining her memories. When it hadn't worked previously, Dave explained, she'd spiraled and finally agreed to undergo counseling. Blue's reaction? "She picked me. Get over it."
In the O.R., Molly recalled being in Big Sky with a man in a red jacket... who turned out to be Dave — a post-accident memory. Though Blue had dismissed Dave utterly, his words had apparently resonated. Kwan had called Molly's folks and found out that they hadn't been informed the exes were back together... or told anything about this risky surgery. Was she only with him, he asked, to fill in the blanks in her mind? Molly wasn't sure, so sadly, that was the end of their reunion.
SIMONE CHALLENGED AMELIA | Off Blue's plea that Simone not let Amelia push it during Molly's surgery and take unnecessary chances, Griffith did indeed speak up, questioning how far the attending was going in hopes of jogging the patient's memory. "Trust me," Amelia said, "or get out of my O.R." Afterwards, though Simone knew that she had made a misstep, Amelia remained in her corner, the portrait of an ideal mentor.

In other developments, Jo clashed anew with baby-faced OB Dr. Marcus, accusing him of "sharking" her "surges," as he called them, because she was pregnant. "I can advocate for myself," she reminded him. In fact, since she is having twins, she could kinda advocate for three. And Lucas, desperate not to repeat his intern year and fall behind his classmates, approached everyone from Nick to Richard in hopes of finding a way to get Catherine to change her mind about him. In the immortal words of Chappell Roan, good luck, babe!
