How do you come back from one of the most gripping, harrowing, unsettling Grey’s Anatomy season finales ever? Well, you call in a psychiatrist. Yes, most of our favorite docs must be evaluated and cleared before they can return to surgery. Makes sense. They are all dealing with varying degrees of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder following the mass murder at the hospital. Things are different now and more change is headed our way.
After recovering from near fatal gunshot wounds, Derek Shepherd is back! He’s greeted by applause coming from all those in his charge. Derek launches into a by-the-book “it’s great to be back” speech then abruptly quits his position as top dog at Seattle Grace. Looks like Richard, who was serving as interim Chief, has his old job back fulltime. Told ya change was coming.
Cristina and Owen are getting married! But the bride will not be wearing white. Cristina says it’s “sexist and vaguely racist.” There will also be no chicken dance or conga line at the reception. Bummer. Owen asks Derek to be his best man. The groom-to-be feels this is a logical choice since he’s married to the other twisted sister. You do know we mean Meredith, right?
