iaria16x10 'Help Me Through the Night'
+ I loved that Meredith went to Alex’s to drink and talk and her knowing exactly where Jo was coming from. It was a nice scene.
+ Bailey/Richard were great. The ER moment where he takes over without them needing to say a word was nice and Bailey breaking down with him afterwards was really well done. I loved the Bailey/Meredith/Richard scene at the end - I love the Richard brought Meredith in to help. It was a really sweet and hopeful scene. I just wish Alex had been there as well. He should have been there.
+ Helm declaring her love for Meredith was funny and a little sad. I liked the scene with all the residents at the end.
+ "For what it's worth, I am amazing but I'm no Meredith Grey." - Nico I am so easy. I just love people appreciating how awesome Mere is.
+ Still don't care about Owen/Teddy, still annoyed that Owen might be Amelia's baby daddy. I felt bad for Koracick at the end.
16x11 'A Hard Pill to Swallow'
+ I really liked the Richard/Maggie scenes and him helping her through her guilt and grief.
+ The Koracick/Bailey scene at the end was lovely. This episode really encapsulated the extremes of him - from how he is such an arrogant ass and occasionally an unrelenting dick to how compassionate and caring he can be. I really do like him.
+ A+ for the Meredith/Cristina texting at the beginning. I liked the Amelia/Mere teasing too.
+ "I honestly worry about your entire gender sometimes." - Jo. Ha. So true. I liked that the fiancee left her dumbass fiance over this final piece, in a long line, of dumbassery.
+ I was bothered that we didn't get any Maggie/Meredith/Amelia scenes. They addressed it with Mere saying that they'd know when to go to her but that's not good enough tbh. The three of them have this tight bond and, if they really do, then we need to see it. We should have had a scene of them trying to comfort Maggie/being there for her/trying to help her and it sticks out hard that we haven't.
Honestly this show has missed a lot of character relationship beats this season - the lack of Alex/Meredith and Richard/Meredith for most of the season, especially, and this, and I'm not happy about it.
+ I'm enjoying Meredith and Cormac. I liked him apologising and her compassion over his wife's death, and sympathising while not at all making it about her. I liked how easily he went with her plan and then when things went wrong how they switched to his.
+ How the heck does Cormac not know - anything? Fine, he's European, but don't doctors keep up with 'world-renowned' doctors from other parts of the world especially if they make medical breakthroughs? Did he do no research into his new hospital/co-workers? I'm just boggled that he knows nothing. And why didn't Meredith tell him that 'Cristina is my best friend', not difficult! After all the cryptic mentions of Cristina Meredith made this ep I hope he does his research between episodes.
16x12 'The Last Supper'
+ Yikes, that was the most uncomfortable dinner ever. I did like Jackson comforting Catherine and Maggie comforting Richard and Maggie apologising to Vic for sniping at her and them making peace.
+ Richard texting with Alex just makes me miss Alex even more.
+ It was the little things about the Saul storyline that really made me sad. The fact that Levi hadn't visited his uncle for at least 2 weeks even though they were close. That his uncle had been waiting for him made it even worse. Did Levi even know he was sick? When did they last see each other? Then there's Daniel not making it in time to say goodbye and how no one told him. Not even Gerdi? Sad. On the other hand, Saul dying after learning that Levi told his mother he was gay and thus wouldn't be living in the same lie Saul did makes me happy. I liked Levi standing up to his mother.
