The drought is almost over “Grey’s Anatomy” is back TONIGHT! There are so many questions that need to be answered from Derek’s Phone call to Aprils Decision, we are counting down the minutes to what will be the start of twelve straight weeks of one of T.V’s most exciting shows, its been almost three months so lets take a look back at what happened on the mid-season finale.
Cristina’s press conference following her ground breaking procedure on baby Nathan doesn’t go too smoothly as she down plays her success, only to be interrupted by Shane, singing her praises. As Meredith is still working out the kinks on her research the tension between Meredith and Cristina is as high as ever. Cristina is worried that Shane is over exerting himself and needs to take a break but shane is not stopping telling Cristina he is under hours but Shane has being manually adjusting his working hours, he is over working himself.
The Presidential Initiative on brain mapping wish to meet with Derek who reluctantly attends with baby Bailey in tow. Derek turns down the offer to work with them, despite them offering him ALOT of money, he is not impressed by their research giving them an inspirational speech kickstarting a new direction for their research.
It is the day of Aprils wedding and she is searching the Hospital for her bridesmaids. Poor april looks so frazzled as she runs into Jackson with curlers in her hair, having him promise to attend the wedding because she wants him there. April wrangles her Bridesmaids who all ask her if she is making a break for it, such faith in the bride. Cristina and Meredith have their dress fittings, talking for the first time in months, Cristina explains how she is not sure how her surgery on Nathan was successful, the talk does not go too well with the two arguing over their difference in priorities. Shane interrupts the argument to tell Cristina she in being considered for the Harper Avery award. This just excels the anger of both Cristina and Meredith as their argument continues throughout their fitting.
Alex’s dad, Jimmy, is still at the hospital charming everyone but Alex who is angered by his father. The two have a little walk down memory lane before Alex looses his cool with his father letting his true feelings show, his father left him to raise his siblings and care for his Mother. Alex later returns and tells his father he is grateful he left because he wouldn’t be where he is today if he hadn’t, Saying his goodbye’s to his dad and wishing him the best with his family in Florida.
Bailey’s patient, Elliot, is on his 312th surgery and Bailey wants to custom build a drug for him in her lab, allowing Leah to take the reigns on the extraction surgery. Bailey tells her to never be afraid to stand up for herself just to make sure she is right before she does. Leah is still whining over the end of her fling with Arizona and considers taking Baileys advice.
Stephanie and Jackson are working together on a patient, Dalton, who has decided that since he may loose his voice he is going to voice everything to his wife in a hilarious way before his surgery. Taking lead from this they tell each other some home truths. Jackson remembers that Mark once told him that “Say it loud and go from there”, if you love someone tell them no matter what. Following complications with Daltons surgery he has a stroke, he may never recover.
April runs into Matthew at the hospital believing it is such bad luck, but he calms her telling her how much he loves her. Later, at the wedding, Bailey and Ben have a heated conversation about him quitting his job as he worries she is quitting surgery. Aprils bridesmaids are taking all the focus from her on her wedding day. Firstly, Arizona is crying, frustration of Callie’s insistence to ‘fix’ her, feeling she is not enough and unsure that Callie will ever make her feel that way. Then when When Cristina turns up to the wedding she and Meredith pick up their conversation in a more calmer manner with them both complimenting each other in a strange way only best friends can do, accepting the fact they are growing apart before being yelled at by April who wants them to make her feel special.
Meanwhile, back at the hospital Alex’s dad, Jimmy, has sudden complications which Ross forces Leah into surgery with him a surgery that grows drastically wrong causing Leah to call for help as Shane will not step away from the table, Leah runs and finds Richard who enters the O.R calmly as shane flashbacks to the day of the storm and Brooke’s death repeatedly saying “I did this” before taking Richards advice to go get rest as Richard takes over the surgery which is not going well.
Jo and Alex have a moment before they enter the barn where he tells her she is the only person he needs. As the ceremony starts Derek receives a phone call and is told to “Please hold for the president of the United States”, returning to the service looking somewhat shaken, what was said on this call? We want to know! Despite some hesitation Jackson takes on the words of Mark Sloan, “Say it loud and go from there”, announcing his love for April in the midst of the wedding service to the shock of her guests.
