This episode is a jumbled mess but its our jumbled mess, you know?
That is the sort of scene and character beat I want for Jo and Link.
Lord knows Im always down for aGreys Anatomyelevator moment.
And yet there was barely any buildup to it.
Jo has almost zero lines in this episode!
Dont get me wrong I sobbed.
But, like, I had to do a lot of that work.
Theres no real development here.
We do not need to know any of this!
I cant believe Im arguing for more Jo time, but here we are!
Its just frustrating to watch repeated wasted potential.
As Tia and Addison are wheeled into the ER, its riveting.
She begs them not to deliver.
You know the one.
Folks, this is great TV.
Thankfully, both Tia and her son, Connor, survive.
Its touch and go with both of them for a bit.
In the ICU, she begins to bleed out and Bailey has to perform an emergency surgery right there.
She saves her, and eventually Tia wakes up.
Shes going to be okay.
Although I guess what the episodes saying is … is anyone really going to be okay?
Tia, her baby, her husband, her doctors they all went through so much violence and trauma.
In the end, it only makes their resolve to help women get the health care they need stronger.
No, Bailey will not be closing the clinic for a few days.
No, Addison will not stop going out on the road in the PRT.
The message here is an emotional one, but the episode itself, I fear, is mostly forgettable.
She frets as she waits around for Winston to finally read it.
She asks Teddy to have the hospital ask for a retraction.
She swears she also told them what a huge part Winston played in the surgery.
Finally, she has the big confrontation with Winston that she and we knew was coming the entire episode.
She can deny it.
Pick one message,Greys!
This story line also feels half-baked, but at least it has a clear emotional through-line.
Its nice, and Im all for more Simone development, but … here?
Basically, like, all the questions.
Again, this is a nice moment, but it feels so out of place.
Amelias character beats in this episode go nowhere.
Its really par for the course for her this season, isnt it?
