Grey’s Anatomy Confirms A Fatal Flaw In Meredith’s Story After 20 Seasons – Screen Rant

Posted: April 19, 2024 at 2:44 am

Spoilers are ahead for Grey's Anatomy season 20, episode 5.

Grey's Anatomy season 20, episode 5 confirms a fatal flaw in Meredith Grey's (Ellen Pompeo) story and it has nothing to do with the surgeon's groundbreaking Alzheimer's research. In fact, the problem at hand has been apparent for the series' last decade, but it seems like Pompeo's decreased screentime has emphasized the long-standing Meredith Grey problem. When the Shonda Rhimes-created show premiered in 2005, it opened with then-surgical intern Meredith Grey and her supposed one-night stand. A few scenes later, Meredith realizes her fling is none other than neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), her superior.

For a few seasons, Meredith and Derek were Grey's Anatomy 's most stable pair...

For several seasons, Meredith and Derek's fraught romance defined the show's narrative. Derek, who Meredith and her best friend Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) dub "McDreamy," is initially getting out of an on-the-rocks marriage. Meredith tells Derek to choose her and, eventually, he does, but it certainly takes awhile for the two surgeons to get on the same page, as evidenced by Meredith and Derek's wild relationship timeline. For a few seasons, Meredith and Derek were Grey's Anatomy's most stable pair, but things took a turn in season 10, and that fallout is still defining Meredith Grey's love life.

Grey's Anatomy season 20 continues Meredith's relationship with Nick Marsh (Scott Speedman), a world-class transplant surgeon who previously worked with Meredith during her brief stint at Minnesota's Mayo Clinic. After receiving a kidney transplant himself, Nick flies out to Grey Sloan to retrieve donor organs. After Nick collapses, his medical mishap creates something of a bonding experience for him and Meredith. Later, the pair reconnect, which leads to a long-distance romance of sorts as Meredith shuffles between Mayo and Grey Sloan. Slowly but surely, Meredith realizes her relationship with Nick is serious, so he relocates to Seattle.

Nick takes [Meredith's harsh words] as a sign of her distrust in his abilities as a doctor, caretaker, and partner.

As Nick takes on Grey Sloan's intern program in season 19, Meredith seems ready to move across the country to pursue Alzheimer's research for the Catherine Fox Foundation. Understandably, Nick is frustrated: He uprooted his life for Meredith and her family. In Grey's Anatomy season 19's ending, Nick and Meredith reconnect, though Meredith still makes choices that disappoint Nick. In season 20, Meredith travels between Seattle and Boston on the regular, leaving Nick in Boston with her children Zola, Bailey, and Ellis. By episode 5, their fraught relationship dynamic comes to a head when Bailey needs an appendectomy.

Instead of calling Meredith immediately, Nick takes Bailey to the hospital, leaving Zola in charge of Ellis. While on the phone with her eldest daughter, Meredith learns that Nick rushed Bailey to surgery. After flying to Boston, Meredith cuts Nick off at every turn. She can't believe he'd make decisions about her kids without calling her first, which Nick takes as a sign of her distrust in his abilities as a doctor, caretaker, and partner. By the end of Grey's Anatomy season 20, episode 5, Meredith apologizes for her harsh words, but it's clear the couple's relationship is strained.

Nick is like a father to his niece, Charlotte Marsh, who he initially prioritizes over Meredith.

Meredith's troubled relationship with Nick is symptomatic of a larger problem in the surgeon's love life. Since Derek was killed in Grey's Anatomy season 11, Meredith has struggled to find a functional long-term relationship. From casual flirtations with Atticus "Link" Lincoln (Chris Carmack) and Cormac Hayes (Richard Flood) to her passionate-yet-tragic romance with Andrew DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti), none of Meredith's post-Derek relationships have stuck. Before Nick, cardio surgeon Nathan Riggs (Martin Henderson) seemed like a good fit, but the pair's relationship ended suddenly when Riggs' presumed-dead partner Megan Hunt (Abigail Spencer), returned.

When Cristina Yang leaves Grey's Anatomy in season 10, she reminds Meredith that Derek isn't "the sun." Meredith's life doesn't have to revolve around Derek's ambitions, and hers should be equally important. It's a conversation that plagued Meredith and Derek's marriage for the bulk of season 10, with Meredith admitting that they'll always fall into the intern-attending dynamic of when they first met. Cristina's parting words strengthen Meredith's resolve; when Derek is offered a high-powered, cutting-edge neuro job in Washington D.C., Meredith tells him to take it, though she'll stay behind in Seattle with the kids.

Meredith's issues with Derek are a continual deal-breaker.

Meredith doesn't want to hold Derek back, but she also can't sacrifice her own wants, needs, and career. She can't live with him denying his own ambitions and then quietly resenting her for it. Clearly, Meredith's issues with Derek are a continual deal-breaker. The surgeon is proud of her work and her research; if prioritizing her partner's goals means taking away from her own, Meredith won't compromise. While Meredith and Nick might have worked when things were less serious when things were easy and fun season 20 proves they aren't a solid endgame.

With Ellen Pompeo's role on Grey's Anatomy significantly reduced, it feels unnecessary to prioritize Meredith's love life, especially when her groundbreaking (and very personal) Alzheimer's research is the more significant thread. In season 20, Meredith pulls Derek's sister, neuro surgeon Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone), into her research, setting up a clear-cut reason for Pompeo's guest appearances. If anything, Meredith's romantic tribulations cement the fact that romance will never eclipse her work. Clearly, the series wants to give Meredith a "happy ending," so it should embrace her success as a single person, mother, and surgeon in Grey's Anatomy season 21.

New episodes of Grey's Anatomy season 20 air on Thursdays on ABC with next-day streaming available via Hulu.

Grey's Anatomy is considered one of the great television shows of our time, winning several awards and four Emmys. The high-intensity medical drama follows Meredith Grey and the team of doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial, who are faced with life-or-death decisions on a daily basis. They seek comfort from one another, and, at times, more than just friendship. Together they discover that neither medicine nor relationships can be defined in black and white.

Anatomy of a genius header by Joshua Kimmich – UCL Moment of the Week – ESPN India

Posted: April 19, 2024 at 2:44 am

When you see it from the angle shown on the live coverage, you don't really understand where Joshua Kimmich comes from.

The build-up is neat, and you can see that: Leroy Sane receiving a standard Kimmich pass out wide, immediately upping the pace as he cuts inside, skinning Gabriel Martinelli on the outside. You can see Sane squaring up Takehiro Tomiyasu and lifting a ball across the face of the goal that David Raya claws at. You can see Raphael Guerreiro, given way too much room by Ben White, take a touch to take it out of his feet and swings in an interesting looking ball... and the next thing you see is a flash of red and white, and Kimmich absolutely thundering a header into the far top corner.

2 Related

You already know how important the goal is: it took Bayern Munich into the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League semifinals, the goal that dumped Arsenal out of Europe. You've also already seen just how emphatic a finish it was, the purity of the connection, the wow-factor of a header thumping into goal with that force. But it's when you turn the angle a bit, look at it from a bird's eye point of view that you truly appreciate the genius of Kimmich.

Before that pass to Sane, you can see him drive inside, shape to pass to Harry Kane down the inside left... those two movements combine to pull the Arsenal shape within itself, giving Sane the space he needs.

Once he's made the pass to Sane, you can see him jog along, arcing away from goal, seemingly a harmless piece on the chess board. When Sane lifts the ball, Kimmich arcs back, innocuously entering the box along its top corner.

By now all of Arsenal's players on that side have been attracted to Sane's movement and are consequently closer to the six-yard box than they are to the edge of the box. And even as Martinelli jogs back up to recover defensive shape (with Tomiyasu remaining on Sane), Kimmich remains in the blind spot. When Guerreiro has the ball, all eyes are on him, including the three Arsenal players on that left-side of theirs - Martinelli, Tomiyasu, and Declan Rice.

Up until the point Guerreiro looks up to pass, Kimmich has made no sudden movements, drawn absolutely no attention to himself. He might as well not be there. The moment Guerreiro's left foot connects with the ball, though, Kimmich is off -- and by the time the trio have registered this movement, it's too late. All three of them may be faster than him, stronger than him, taller than him, but how do you stop someone you didn't know was there? He steals a yard over the shoulder of Martinelli, dives onto the ball... and BAM!

What makes it even more special is that it was a hugely important goal on a personal level as well. After the game, Kimmich would tell Sky Germany that the goal had felt really good. "I had to hear a lot last year, got very little support," he said. "In the end, it once again proves that hard work pays off."

With Bayern suffering their worst season domestically in over a decade (that still involves being second in the Bundesliga, by the way), Kimmich had been one of those who'd borne the brunt of criticism over the past few months. Initially playing in central midfield fans had called for his head, asking their club to drop him, to move him on. Midfield was the position that he'd always wanted to play, but it wasn't working for him at either club or country.

So both teams moved him back to right back, Bayern in late February, Germany in the last international break in March... and it clicked again. A few games in, he was already dictating games from that right back position, locking down the opposition (like he sealed Arsenal's left flank over both ties), and generally being the absolute best right back in the world.

Now he's got a tangible reward, a first Champions League non-penalty goal since Oct 2020 (against Lokomotiv Moscow) and the winner in a tight, tight semifinal where his team had been considered big underdogs. So, for the personal redemptive arc, for the pure in-game intelligence, for the belligerence of the finish, Joshua Kimmich takes our Moment of the Mid-Week.

Greys Anatomy Releases Season 20: Premiere Schedule – The DePauw

Posted: April 19, 2024 at 2:44 am

The American medical drama series Greys Anatomy returns on March 14 for its 20th season after two years of absence from television. The cast is slightly different from the previous season, but the prominent characters remain. However, season 20 will be the first to feature Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) as the recurring character. The actress expressed her desire to experience different roles for the rest of her career, so she decided not to appear regularly in the forthcoming season and remain an executive producer.

The main cast includes Sandra Oh, Patrick Dempsey, Chandra Wilson, Justin Chambers, Katherine Heigl, T.R. Knight, Isaiah Washington, and James Pickens Jr. The only original cast members that remain in season 20 are Chandra Wilsons Miranda Bailey and Jams Pickens Jr. 's Richard Webber.

Due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023, the production of the new season was delayed, leading to a short run of 10 episodes. ABC released the first two episodes on March 14 and March 21, which continue the story from the previous season.

The new season follows the renewed storyline of Meredith, who has to reconsider her plans after going through a hard time. Every character is involved in unexpected incidents: a patients death poses a challenge for all the interns, Richard confides in Bailey, and Teddys fate is revealed.

The beginning of season 20 gained positive reception, with 5.49 million viewers in total in the first episode. According to the announced schedules, Greys Anatomy season 20 will premiere on Thursday every week from 9:00 - 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. The audience can also watch the new season on Hulu the next day.

Station 19 Season 7 Just Reversed A Major Grey’s Anatomy Story With Sully & Natasha – Screen Rant

Posted: April 19, 2024 at 2:44 am

Warning! SPOILERS about Station 19 season 7, episode 5 ahead.

After episodes where Sully proposed and Natasha didnt give him a straight answer, Station 19 season 7, episode 5 finally managed to get them engaged and in doing so, it referenced a major Greys Anatomy seasons 10 and 11 storyline. Station 19s 100th episode included plenty of dramatic developments, but Ben and Sullys predicament that left them surrounded by fire and with little oxygen was among the most difficult, putting in danger two of Station 19s main characters. Almost losing Sully finally gave Natasha clarity regarding his marriage proposals, also explaining why she didnt seem to take them seriously before.

Sully and Natasha spent Station 19 season 6 fighting over whether to keep their relationship private, with the two torn between protecting their relationship and their careers, as Natasha being Sullys superior put them in a precarious situation. While the ballroom floor collapse in Station 19 season 6s finale endangering Natasha made Sully certain of what mattered, every time he asked Natasha to marry him in Station 19 season 7, she didnt answer clearly. Their talk in Station 19 season 7, episode 5 finally explained it had nothing to do with their love but much to do with Natashas fears.

Natasha admitted she had been stalling her relationship with Sully in Station 19 season 7, episode 5, sharing that she had been terrified that someday Sully would want her to play small. Her reveal simultaneously clarified that she really was avoiding answering Sullys proposal and why, showing that she truly loved Sully, but was also accustomed to men going back on their word. His promise to never be so stupid and try to make her play or feel small essentially made it possible for his proposal to be enthusiastically accepted by Natasha right after he promised her.

The worries plaguing Natasha that Sully didnt know about fully mirrored a Greys Anatomy season 10 story that completely degenerated by season 11, almost destroying Meredith and Dereks relationship right before Dereks death. Indeed, by Greys Anatomy season 10, Derek had promised to take a step back in his career to focus on his and Merediths family so that she could have her moment to shine and progress her career. However, his brain sensors research with Callie and his presidential brain mapping initiative made Derek go back on his word, causing him to put his career first once again.

Before accepting, Derek refused the US presidents offer twice despite not wanting to, choosing his family only because he had promised Meredith. In return, this made Derek take out his anger on Meredith and those closest to him, making them miserable because he resented Meredith as she refused to stall her career to follow him. This fight continued from Greys Anatomy season 10 to 11, and it would have destroyed them had Derek not died. With Natashas worries revolving around Meredith and Dereks central problem in Greys Anatomy seasons 10 and 11, Station 19 season 7 essentially reversed their story.

The power disparity between Meredith and Derek was often at the center of their story, but they never explicitly considered that issues practicalities before season 10, with Greys Anatomy instead focusing on their unyielding love. Sully learning the prerequisite for which Natasha would consider marriage thus makes her priorities evident, making the problem that arose between Meredith and Derek much more unlikely to appear between them. By clarifying that love wasnt necessarily enough, also needing a clear and explicit understanding of their priorities, Station 19 season 7 made Sully and Natashas relationship have a firmer start than Meredith and Dereks.
