Grey’s Anatomy’s Meredith and Amelia were all ready to break out in a chorus of “We’re in the Money” in Thursday’s episode when it turned out that their pitch to obtain a megabucks Blaisdale Grant to fund their Alzheimer’s research had already basically been made. By… by whom? None other than Greg Germann’s Koracick, back like the proverbial bad penny. Keep reading, and we’ll go over not only how that twist turned out but whether Teddy and Owen stuck a fork in their marriage and the odd collision of Jules and Monica’s love lives.
JO AND LINK MADE WEDDING PLANS | As “Ridin’ Solo” began, Jo shot down the idea of lavish nuptials for her and Link. “If [your ceremony] doesn’t kill your priest,” Teddy cracked, “you’re one up on me and Owen.” Jo replied, quite frankly, “Well, you guys don’t set the bar very high.” And for the rest of the hour, Altman and Hunt reinforced that opinion, bickering over therapy and ultimately deciding to invite others into their relationship. The nitty-gritty of it all? The couple would exchange no details about their hookups, play safe, check in regularly and, most importantly, “Our marriage comes first. No serious relationships or feelings.” Am I the only one who’s surprised that we have to wait until next week for them to break the rules that they just set?
JULES HAD SEX WITH MONICA’S EX | To Jules’ horror, her one-night stand from the evening before showed up at Grey Sloan: Turned out, Adriana was a patient advocate for young Carlos — and Beltran’s former spouse. Monica wasn’t fazed (much) until Millin punctured Carlos’ heart during surgery. After the kid was saved, Beltran scolded the resident, reminding her not to bring her personal life into the ER — or her attending’s. Later, Jules told Simone that she was swearing off sex to focus on work and asked Winston to be her mentor. Which had been Monica’s advice, she jokingly pointed out to her former lover.
SIMONE PERFORMED HER FIRST SOLO SURGERY | As a patient named Melissa struggled to recover from gallstones, Simone became curious about her post-menopause allergies. Good call: Melissa was revealed to have a neuroendocrine tumor. Since Griffith had diagnosed it, Bailey let her remove the tumor — her first-ever solo flight. Nearby, a mom-to-be who was two weeks overdue tried to induce labor by having sex with her husband in her room. Didn’t go well. They were interrupted, and the husband, for lack of a better term, broke his ass. But the upshot of the comedy was that Jo wound up not caring how she and Link tied the knot, she just wanted to “I do” it with him.
KORACICK STOLE MEREDITH’S GRANT | Mer and Amelia thought it was bad enough that Tom had presented a grant proposal similar to theirs. But to make matters worse, he’d offered up one that was several steps more advanced (thanks to their published research). Though he already had Fox money behind him, he snarked that “research funding’s like sex to me — you can never have enough.” Off Nick’s suggestion that his partner play up her passion, Mer did just that — and called Koracick on his exclusion of female mice from his studies. But it was to no avail; Tom won the jackpot. Where did that leave Mer? She’d bankroll her own research. “How do I become an investor?” Nick asked. “If I’m gonna bet on anybody, it’s you.”
BLUE LOST MOLLY | The hour started off with Blue laying out a menu of meaningful meals that he and Molly had enjoyed before their breakup and her amnesia. But it ended with… oh, crap. Blue came home at the close of the day more supportive of his lost love’s experimental surgery than he’d ever been, but waiting for him wasn’t just Molly, it was… Dave. It appeared that she’d gotten back together with the fiancé that she’d dumped to find out what might have been with the would-be husband that she’d forgotten.
