The End Is the Beginning Is the End
Season 9 | Episode 11 | Aired 01/17/13

It's been one month since Adele passed away. Richard is avoiding surgeries and turning down sympathy cookies from Catherine Avery. He's also looking to get rid of all the medical oddities he's pulled out of patients over the years because it reminds him of all the times he wasn't there for his wife. He tells Catherine that he doesn't want her around. He later apologizes. Catherine lets him know that he doesn't have to grieve alone. She sets out her hand so that Richard can hold it.

The dinner party for the lawsuit win gets off to a bumpy start until Callie opens up about how they are all trying to move on. She's heartbroken that Mark and Lexie are gone, but she's grateful for the friends who are still with her. Meredith can't drink to a toast. She finally breaks the news that she's pregnant. Woo hoo!

Everyone but Mer proceeds to get totally tipsy. Derek calls Owen to say he doesn't blame him for the crash. He wants him to come help them celebrate. That's not possible. Owen is stuck in a meeting about the lawsuit. The insurance company isn't going to pay thanks to a loophole. The hospital is on the hook for all that money. They'll have to declare bankruptcy. This means the doors of Seattle Grace-Mercy West will have to close forever.
