The season 7 finale of Grey’s Anatomy wasn’t as thrilling and action-packed compared to last season’s. However, episode 22 titled “Unaccompanied Minor” was emotionally heavy and I’ll take it anytime as my GA finale. The emotional shootout that GA producers promised went out pretty well.
“Unaccompanied Minor” held its own when a 757 crashed and required our SGMWH surgeons’ attention more than ever. I thought patients will be rushed down again on the hospital but there was only one survivor. But this event is so important that it solidifies April Kepner’s chances for chief residency. Yes, April Kepner, M.D. is the new chief resident, and it’s too sad that Stark wasn’t there to hear this one.
TV Fanatic: I can honestly say that I was shocked by the 757 crash storyline. I never expected to hear that nearly every passenger wouldn’t even make it to the hospital. The scene in which the families reacted to the bad news of losing their loved ones was heartbreaking.
It was such a moving and touching moment when the families stuck around to be there for the unaccompanied minor. Regardless of their circumstances, these strangers came together to be there for a young girl and her mother. That’s really saying something.
I loved the scene when MerDer were planning out where the baby room and crib should be. Although I am frustrated by the way things ended for MerDer on this episode, I get why Derek needed some time on his own.
Whether or not Meredith was helping Adele and Richard, she was dishonest and the Alzheimer’s trial was extremely important to him.
Something tells me that Derek will be back with his McFamily at the start of next season. Besides, how could he resist baby Zola? Also, how great is Meredith with Zola already?
Although Meredith kicked Alex out, I almost wished he had stayed. He would have been great helping Meredith with Zola.
There was much more baby discussion when Cristina found out that she was pregnant. Like Owen, I know precisely who Cristina is and how important her career is to her.
However, Owen was right in saying that she needed to at least consider what he wanted. The decision ought to have been made as a married couple.
Heck, he even offered to be the one on leave with the baby and repeatedly told her how much he loved her and wanted much more for them. Not surprisingly though, Cristina made an appointment to terminate her pregnancy.
Do you think that Cristina will really go through with her appointment? If so, is this the end for Owen and Cristina?
I can’t say that I was surprised when Owen finally chose April as the chief resident. With all that’s been going on, she was definitely a shoo-in. I’m looking forward to seeing how she will run the show.
It drove me nuts when Lexie and Mark had their heartfelt talk. While I know that Jackson is very capable of making Lexie happy, I can’t help but to continuously root for Mark. Yes, this is whether or not he gives his blessing or simply lets Lexie walk away.
Then again, if you really love something, set it free. If it comes back, it’s yours. If not, it wasn’t meant to be. Right?! Surely, Mark has heard of that and still believes it. And you can’t simply just forget when someone says that they’re going to always love you.
While Henry finally confessed he was in love with Teddy, I was glad that she chose him over Andrew. Moreover, I was disappointed in Alex when he didn’t ask Lucy to stay. That’s Alex for you though. He’s down now, but I’m hoping he doesn’t go back to the jerk we once knew him as. He’s come such a long way now. He gave Lucy the “go-to-hell” words, and I think that’s the end for the latter as she’ll now fulfill another role as one of Charlie’s Angels. (Well, you can check her on the Charlie’s Angels section.)
As Bailey and Eli walked off holding hands, I wished we had seen more of them recently. I hope their relationship continues to grow next season because I certainly have missed seeing Bailey. Remember on season 6 finale, Bailey got a huge acting job to fulfill. Now, she just stayed on the sidelines. But I bet we’ll have more of her and the other dynamics of her personality on season 8.
My favorite line was Teddy’s: “You’re my husband and I think I’m falling in love with you.”
Overall, this is a quiet and emotional season 7 finale for Grey’s Anatomy. Did I like it? Of course. Why? Because it affected me too much. I felt the episode and that’s all what I’m waiting for.
See you on season 8!
