Will she still move to Boston?

The ripple effect of this one decision affects the lives of many.

Who’s going to be the new chief?

GREY’S ANATOMY

What’s going to happen to the residency program?

Will Nick join Meredith in Massachusetts?

Does Nick even know Meredith is moving across the country?

These are all excellent questions that no one is answering.

Bailey and Jo are consumed with the grand opening of the clinic.

And everyone else at Grey Sloan Memorial is dealing with storm victims bombarding the ER.

Amelia marches her nephew to the lab, where Nick patiently waits for his interns.

That’s when Adams spills the beans, confessing that Amelia is his aunt.

With great defeat, he hangs his head and admits, “I am a Shepherd.”

People are surprised for different reasons.

Nick is shocked that Meredith didn’t tell him.

Now we’ve got a Whipple procedure to perform in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Everyone is not good.

Nick can feel the heaviness in the room, so he calls it out.

Also, surgical excellence takes more than one person, and together, the interns are the program.

It’s not going anywhere.

Who will lead the residency program is still a mystery, but that’s neither here nor there.

Yasuda is paired with Teddy when local TV reporter Jonathan is brought into trauma room three.

Helicopters and thunderstorms do not play well together.

Luckily, Teddy has a team to respond to the 75 orders she barks out in two minutes.

Amelia is there for spinal issues.

Link is there for the broken bones.

Yasuda fetches everything, including Owen.

Teddy commands the moment with grace, confidence, and authority.

It’s a risky surgery, and Meredith wants to ensure Tessa understands what will happen.

Tessa is prepared for a poor outcome, but her readers are not.

She needs her surgeons to save her life so she can continue writing her stories.

Which everyone has read, apparently.

As Tessa signs autographs, Nick goes over Tessa’s scans with Adams, explaining even the smallest detail.

He encourages Adams to take an active role in the surgery.

Meredith checks in with Nick and asks him to keep an eye on Adams during surgery.

Nick snaps back, “Why?

Because he’s Derek’s nephew?”

Meredith defends her nephew, claiming she kept his secret because he asked her to keep it under wraps.

Meredith seems to be pretty good at keeping secrets.

Especially when they involve moving states away without even discussing the topic with Nick.

If he asks her to stay, he’s a jerk because she’s moving for Zola.

If he leaves to go with them, he’s deserting the class she asked him to lead.

Decisions are the worst.

Especially when you’re looking for a new chief.

With Meredith gone, Richard naturally leans toward Bailey.

She shuts that business down immediately.

And when Owen approaches Richard, he all but laughs in his face.

Though Owen has the experience and skills, something tells me we need a doctor without a suspended license.

She saved Jonathan multiple times during his trauma and devised a plan for the other surgeons' successes.

Yasuda grew up in a family of all girls to a father who wanted boys.

So, of course, she’s mesmerized by Teddy.

on the mother’s neck as bronze, which has melded into her skin.

Just ask Adams, who is slowly losing his grip in the ER.

Meredith wants him to pay better attention.

Nick wants him to breathe and think through the steps.

Meredith wins and calls an audible, asking Griffin to step in and take Adams' place.

This is the author of the beloved Tessa books!

She must be saved!

As time passes, it looks like Tessa will be a Whipple survivor.

Bailey’s husband, Ben, just called: Meredith’s house is on fire.

Nick and Griffin take over while Meredith runs like hell to see if her kids are okay.

Maggie and Winston were there the entire time, arguing about Winston’s switch from cardio to vascular surgery.

Two adult surgeons rescued all three children and the framed Post-It of Derek and Meredith’s vows.

Luckily, Station 19 stayed on an extra hour and was there to put out the flames.

The kids are okay, but the devastation is real.

Griffin pulls away and says she can’t do this.

Just like a Meredith.
