14x19āā Beautiful Dreamer [episode review]
can we talk about Greyās here for a second? Iām gonna review this episode because itās been a really great episode. I think one of the best weāve seen in a long time. so lets start off with saying this: I am sorry for how unorganized and choppy this is going to be, Iām apologizing in advance but my brain is going a million miles an hour. ALSO. WARNING::: SPOILERS AHEAD!!! šØšØ
first offāā Richard and Ollie
this was so, so sad. this gave me Amelia and Michelle, on PP, parallel feels, how Ollie is much like Ameliaās best friend Michelle and Amelia and Richard both watched their friend die a slow death. I really think and hope this is going to bring Amelia and Richard closer as friends and support systems. this storyline (Richard and Ollie) was very real, heartbreaking and sad. I really liked it even though it was rough.
Arizona
two things here, first; Carina. I just. I donāt like her. itās half āsheās never going to be callieā and half idk I just donāt like her character. sheās useless and just no. I really donāt like her. and I would really like for her to go back to Italy. like Arizona said, her study there is almost upā¦ also, the comment at the beginning of the ep āI have no kids, thank godā like okay, I get that people donāt always like kids but coming from Arizona, someone who broke up with her girlfriend over children, this just made my heart swell. like carina you donāt say that to the person youāre with if they fucking have kids. thats like almost as close as basic human decency as we get hereā¦and second; Arizonaās idea of the crash cart thing, that was amazing. seriously. ātreat every delivery as a traumaā I canāt clap loud enough. this is amazing. Iām so glad she figured something out and she can stop stressing just a little bit. take a breather babes, youāre awesome, youāre a rockstar. [also, another note; I really am dreading JCap leaving and this is sad af, because we only have like what 3 episodes remaining?]
Bello and Deluca
I actually have a lot to say about this and this is where its going to get very unorganized. I love that theyāre incorporating real life like this, fucking neurosurgeons in the making, who have been living here their whole lives, facing deportation to a country they donāt know just because of our terrible choice in leaders. I can talk a while about this but Iām not going to. I thoroughly enjoyed Bailey stalling the ICE agent [we will address this later] and how literally the whole hospital was banning together to help Bello out. I genuinely like her and Iām really sad to see her leaving. I loved all the scenarios of running, getting married, Jo telling her how to fake her death with a guy in New York, I actually laughed so hard. like this was so great. this whole storyline. and then when amelia asks Owen to call Megan to help out because her āfavorite internā is going to get deported for rUNNING A FUCKING RED LIGHT. A RED LIGHT PEOPLE. we canāt even put rapists in jail, and youāre exiling an innocent fucking surgeon to a country they spent barely a year in when they were born, because she ran a red fucking light? okay moving on, coco. I loved that amelia said that, it was really cute. and like then Meredith using one of Maggieās old papers [im assuming] and telling her Sam got accepted in Zurich and is working with Cristina. that was actually so sweet and I canāt. and then poor Andrew. I really loved them as a couple. they are really sweet and I wish we got to know more about their story, but sadly we wonāt since Bello left. their goodbye was so adorable and bitter sweet. I hope she comes back one day or Deluca leaves to go be with her, he deserves happiness and an actual storyline like this because Giancomo is kinda getting screwed with Delucaās character here.
Jaggieā¦
as @jordan202ā said last week, ājaggie is gaggieā and literally, yes. I was really excited to see Maggie ignoring him, because Jackson can be kinda dickish and like he shouldāve told her April kissed him. if you want a relationship to work, be honest. and Jackson shouldāve told her from the beginning. now to be honest with you, I skipped every jaggie scene, and caught the little bit at the end. I did want to point out, while I do not support Jaggie at all whatsoever, I find it very sweet Maggie showed up and made the speech and stood up for herself about not telling her because she said Jackson didnāt think he could handle it. go Maggie. and then I gagged again and skipped the scene that followed thatā¦ gross.
the interns
okay I love love loveeeee seeing Jo be the chief resident [I mean not like there can be any other chief resident because lets see, mousey died, Stephanie left, ben became a firefighter and where the fuck did Leah disappear to?] anyway, I love seeing Jo be the chief res and then bringing the interns around for rounds and no one letting them into rooms for rounds, that was actually quite funny.
Matthew and Ruby
okay, so I feel bad for Arizona because this was her case, but I empathize with Matthew, and heās hurting and this is a lot. and Iām glad Owen could be put on this case, tho really fucking weird since he worked as a trauma surgeon in the army I didnāt peg him for a peds stand in, but I know this was just a little veer in his path for his storyline [which we will talk about as well] and Iām really grateful for April here. I know that everyone kinda looked weird at her for leering around Matthew and yeah I get it its weird, but her motherās intuition was calling, and hey, guess what, it was fucking right. Iām really glad she was able to help and the end scene with her and Matthew was really sweet. it was full circle for them and I really enjoyed that.
lets go with the ICE agent next, and Bailey.
so I thoroughly enjoy that Bailey was at first just trying to stall him as long as possible. great tactic. and then her instincts kicked in and she pretty much saved this manās life. I think that was really cool. and the scene with Maggie telling Bailey that sheād run all the tests, and then Bailey actually being serious about it. this was really nice. Bailey was being sincere to this man, she was serious because this guy, who is trying to take her intern, she couldāve easily just ignored his symptoms. but she didnāt and telling him, jfc that was great. āI swear to god this isnāt a jokeā or whatever. baileyās being serious, might I even say as serious as a heart attackā¦ [okay, okay, I know, terrible joke I am sorry] anyway, this was really sweet that even though she deemed him as the enemy, she stilled helped save his life because its her job, just like, while he hates it, being an ICE agent is his job.
um whatās next? ou, Catherine.
can I start out saying Iāve never liked her? sheās always fucking shady and untrusting. seriously. and first off, do not go blaming your fucking son for this issue with the neurosurgeon lady. this is your fault. your āoh its nothingā thing with harper Avery and this lady. well yeah, weāre gonna think its nothing if you say it like that, of course Jackson wonāt think anything of it and try and fucking fix things, thereās a childās life at stake. if you werenāt such a shady bitch and were honest with Jackson, yāall wonāt be getting into this mess, whatever the fuck it may be. ugh I do not like Catherine at all. Richard deserves better.
um, who elseā¦ Owen okay Owen.
so, I am still logically confused why Owen was placed on ruby Taylorās caseā¦ like I mentioned before, heās trauma not peds, but whatever, I guess if a hospital can have a bomb, shooting, 2 plane crashes, a fire and a billion other things happen, I guess a trauma surgeon can double as a peds one for a day. now, onto why. Iām really actually genuinely excited for Owen to take this step into singlehood and hopefully soon-to-be single fatherhood. Iāve been saying this forever, but give the man a child. heās very similar to Alex in a way, he doesnāt act very decent with other adults, but in front of children, heās an angel and its what he really needs. I canāt wait to see what comes of this storyline!
KIMMIE!
okay, wow! this breaks my heart. part of me is like āyes! go to NYC, go sing on broadway, explore the world while you still have the chanceā and the other half of me just screams āstay strong just a little longer and stay at GSM for Alex and amelia to fix you, because I know they canā. Alex and kimmieās dynamic is so sweet and their relationship just kinda melts me [and jo, but we will talk about that next!] I really hope this isnt the end of kimmieās story. I hope sheās not going to just leave. side note: where did Tom go? is he back in New York? did he go back and I forget? anyway, whatever.
last but not least, the best, jolex.
okay, we got literally the sweetest scene Iāve ever fucking seen. I think I like this more than the proposal. actually, this and the 9x24 āI love youā scene are tied for first because ofc, that was my fave but also this one was. Jo telling Alex that she wants kids with him and wants to wedding plan and get married at joeās bar and soon and ugh I cannot. and then her telling him she wants his last name because āIāve never had the last name of anyone whoās loved me beforeā okay get out. bye. Iām dead. spoiler alert: Iāve been typing this from beyond the grave. this scene fucking melted me into a pile of goo. I cannot. bye!
bonus! 14x20 promo!Ā
I AM FUCKING DEAD. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS EPISODE. ABSOLUTELY CANNOT FUCKING WAIT. this looks so goddamn fucking hilarious I literally almost started crying. first of all, Arizona being the innocent lil bean to unknowingly give everyone pot cookies, Iām in tears. then, Alex wearing the fucking whatever that was on his head and āoh yeah, it was so goodā pissing myself. also, fuck, was that deluca hugging a bush?!? and Bailey professing her love to Meredith. I canāt I canāt. seriously, I have high expectations for this episode, and I hope it doesnāt disappoint.
end note: no gifs are mine and Iām sorry for not crediting artists, I just pulled these off google. thank you for letting me borrow your work.
