Spoiler alert! This story discusses “By no means Felt So Alone,” the April 11 episode of Gray’s Anatomy.
Ellen Pompeo made one other look on Gray’s Anatomy’s twentieth season within the newest episode, however quite than specializing in her Alzheimer’s analysis, this time issues bought extra private. We bought a strong glimpse at simply how a lot Meredith Gray nonetheless misses Derek Shepherd when their son Bailey had a medical emergency. Regardless of Meredith getting irritated with her boyfriend Nick Marsh (once more) over how he dealt with issues, I totally imagine this couple is endGame, and “By no means Felt So Alone” strengthened my argument.
Meredith, who was engaged on her analysis in Seattle on the April 11 episode, bought caught off-guard when her daughter Zola knowledgeable her by textual content that Nick (Scott Speedman) had taken Bailey to the hospital in Boston with early indicators of appendicitis. She was livid that Nick had uncared for to tell her of that instantly (which is legitimate) and was capable of constitution Catherine Fox’s airplane to hurry house.
That’s after we have been first clued into the explanation for Meredith’s nervousness. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) tried to allay her fears by reminding her how routine an appendectomy is, and the way more often than not errors don’t occur, to which she retorted:
And more often than not, individuals who want craniotomies get head CTs.
Like a punch straight to the intestine, Meredith reminded us that what occurred to McDreamy might need been prevented if the docs answerable for his care had gotten a CT and realized the extent of his head damage. Derek got here up once more after Bailey’s surgical procedure when Meredith — who was nonetheless indignant at Nick and requested him to go away — admitted to Richard when she misses her husband essentially the most, saying:
I imply, after all I miss him. It’s simply actually solely when the youngsters get up in the midst of the night time and I don’t have anybody to speak to.
I feel each Gray’s Anatomy fan nonetheless stings somewhat over Patrick Dempsey’s Derek being killed off, nevertheless it’s simply heartbreaking to listen to Meredith say it. It additionally actually provides context to her harsh response towards Nick. Nonetheless, Richard identified that Meredith does, actually, have somebody to speak to in regards to the children, and Nick’s response to the state of affairs is why I feel he’s not going anyplace.
When Meredith lastly went to speak to Nick about what occurred, he didn’t let her off the hook, mentioning that he’d been staying together with her kids for 2 days whereas she was out of city, and the explanation he hadn’t known as her straight away was as a result of he was on the cellphone with the nanny to ensure the opposite two children have been taken care of. Whereas I do agree Meredith nonetheless had each proper to be upset, I positively see his aspect of it, and Meredith has to know that if she’s trusting Nick to take care of her children, she has to truly belief him.
Nick additionally mentioned he is aware of he’s not McDreamy. He won’t ever be her kids’s father, however he nonetheless loves them. Little Bailey even requested for Nick very first thing when he wakened from the surgical procedure. That’s a reasonably telling signal.
Nick has put up with lots from Meredith, however he’s nonetheless there, nonetheless displaying up for her children and being affected person as she continues to navigate her grief and permit herself to relinquish simply the tiniest little bit of management.
With 5 episodes remaining in Gray’s Anatomy’s twentieth season, I don’t understand how way more Meredith we’ll get, however I’m sure that wherever she is, Nick Marsh will stay by her aspect. ABC’s medical drama is on a brief hiatus, set to return at 9 p.m. ET Thursday, Might 2. Within the meantime, you may atone for the greatest Gray’s Anatomy episodes, as each season may be streamed with a Hulu subscription, and the primary 19 seasons can be found with a Netflix subscription.
