Absolutely incredible writing with regards to that segment, and an amazing performance by Sarah Drew to carry it. I'm not religious, but even I cried. Her performance brought me to tears. Hope to see Drew in some more shows!

One of the very best episodes

There are 3 stories in one here. Meredith and her transplant patient is well done and the Owen / Teddy segment is something that promises to deliver what many have been waiting for for some time, but the scenes with Kepner and her patient Eli are simply magnificent. I've remarked before that Grey's can be ridiculous one day and sublime the next but the writing here and the performances of Sarah Drew and Saul Rubinek are sublime and represent the very best that the show has to offer. It's a wise and genuinely moving piece of television.
Another good episode this season.

It was almost as if the show was back to its former glory. Almost. The script managed to make the message loud and clear, without forcing anything. Only Scott Speedman's cameo wasn't used to its fullest potential. It was a bit disappointing even. Teddy and Owen finally getting into action was long overdue. And could only end the way it did. April's actress gave a great performance for once, and her last scene with that rabbi, was what we could expect of a genuinely heart wrenching Grey's death.
Sarah Drew Excellent performance

While most of this episode is boring the Sarah Drew scenes make it well worth watching. Most of the other characters are boring, in script and their performance as Actors & Actress with their inability to attract an audience.
Finally a really strong episode this season!

This whole 2017/2018 TV season has been a bit of a disappointment for me so far and Grey's Anatomy has been no exception. Hardly any of the characters interest me, the storylines even less so and the newest batch of interns could go die a long slow death as far as I'm concerned.
As to the news that Arizona and April are going to be written out at the end of the season? This does surprise me and disappoint me, especially regarding Arizona. She used to be one of my favourite characters until things became a bit ridiculous with her missing leg and her cheating. But still I lived in hope that I would love her again. As to April, she has always been one of my least favourite characters, even when the show was good so I'm glad in a way that she is being written out - I didn't think she could get more annoying but that was before she became a party girl!
Having said all of that, I loved this episode even if one third of it focused on April. I loved the way she lashed out and blamed Bailey and was invested in her patient and the scene where she played along and pretended to be Eli's wife whilst he died was heartbreaking.
I loved Meredith's storyline. Meredith is pretty much the only reason I watch the show for nowadays and although the ending of the whole Riggs/Meredith storyline has my head spinning even now, I live in hope that she will find a love interest again. Her flirtation with her transplant surgeon patient was a perfect teaser. I would be very happy if Nick Marsh ended up becoming a recurring character although I suspect that hope may be futile. Great ending scene between Alex/Meredith and the flashback look over the shoulder to the bar door.
And then there's the whole Owen/Teddy vignette. Now let's make it clear: after Meredith Grey, Teddy Altman is probably my favourite Grey's character and Henry/Teddy will always be one of my favourite couples. Owen/Teddy I kind of didn't mind back in the Cristina days when Cristina was in my bad books but Henry is always going to be the perfect match for Teddy.
When it looked like Owen/Teddy were going to get their happy ever after at the start of this episode, I didn't have any strong feelings after all Henry is dead and the Owen/Amelia marriage has to be one of the worst pairings in 14 years of Grey's (and that's saying something!) but then the plot twist happened as I was all like "yeah, you go Teddy! Call him on his crap! Don't be second best!". I loved it when she shouted at him that he didn't ever get to talk about Henry. The only thing that disappoints me about the way this ended is that I am pretty sure there's no way Teddy/Kim Raver will ever get to come back to the show and that makes this Teddy fan sad.
