Happiness eludes means too many characters on this collection proper now.
It felt like everybody was preventing, and there have been few treasured moments throughout Gray’s Anatomy Season 19 Episode 9. Teddy and Owen bickered endlessly, Bailey and Ben practically adopted swimsuit, Maggie realized that her marriage could be doomed, and Simone broke Lucas’ coronary heart.
However on the plus aspect, Helm and Mika are undoubtedly hitting it off properly and on their strategy to turning into the following endearing ship, whereas Levi lastly obtained laid by a scorching touring nurse!
They teased a enjoyable installment meant to have a nostalgic really feel to the early days of the collection when M.A.G.I.C. would have home events.
Whereas there was a home occasion, a lot of its pleasure was underwhelming, and the drama was too repetitive and irritating.
The Simone and Lucas scenario took some irritating turns because the collection tried to tug from bits of the Meredith, Derek, and Addison love triangle with a complete totally different really feel.
Trey, in contrast to Addison, is not attention-grabbing within the least. He is unlikeable and never price rooting for, though he is good to have a look at, so there’s one thing.
It is onerous to spend money on no matter maintain he has on Simone as a result of we all know little of their relationship, and if you see them in motion, it is nothing spectacular.
It is also straightforward to jot down him off when he would not appear to help her after every part she endured at her earlier hospital, and he gives the look that he wished she had sucked it up and dealt along with her mistreatment.
Additionally, it makes you surprise why he popped into the image now. Simone is lastly settled, discovering her place at Gray Sloan, thriving, and discovering happiness.
She’s additionally discovered her individuals, and sure, it is evident that Mika and Lucas, on the very least, are her individuals. And right here comes her ex-fiance to muck every part up, too little, too late.
It is surprising that it even labored. Certain, they’ve this intensive historical past, however by now, it is sufficient to make you want that she’d caught to the clear break she made when she got here to Gray Sloan and moved on reasonably than getting sucked into the previous and familiarity of Trey.
In fact, I am biased since Simone and Lucas are extremely cute and scorching collectively. They’ve nice chemistry, they usually convey out one of the best sides of one another.
They’ve additionally developed a closeness that goes past the sexual attraction they’ve for every, born out of mutual respect and a vulnerability that neither of them has shared with anybody else since their introduction.
And did I point out they’re scorching?
Lucas: When you love him, it is best to struggle for him.
Simone: You are pushing me towards him.
Lucas: I am not pushing you, I am saying, do you like him?
It was basic Gray’s messiness that she was within the room with Lucas, undressing, moments away from having some supremely scorching intercourse whereas cockblocker that he’s, Trey, stood exterior the door confessing his like to Simone.
Trey was baring his soul to a closed door, not realizing that on the opposite aspect of it, some impossibly fairly man with improbable hair had his hand shoved down his ex-fiancee’s pants.
If that is not awkward, what’s?
It is a mark of how a lot Lucas genuinely cares about Simone and needs one of the best for her that he can categorical how a lot he cares about her and bathe her with real compliments about how clever she is, however he famous that she nonetheless had emotions for her ex and stepped again.
It harm him dearly, however he wasn’t about to insert himself into one thing when he might inform that Simone’s coronary heart could also be elsewhere, they usually did point out how she did not wish to make him a rebound earlier than they practically launched into their relationship.
However simply because Lucas is an effective man doesn’t suggest that Simone wasn’t insensitive as hell for getting re-engaged with Trey in entrance of everybody at that occasion and displaying off her ring within the locker room at work.
They reside and work collectively, so goodness is aware of how terrible it will likely be for Lucas transferring ahead now that he has to see the lady he is developed emotions for with another person.
They dashed our Simone/Lucas hopes earlier than issues began, and now we should take care of Simone’s determination till it inevitably blows up in her face.
However at the very least we obtained a Dance it Out scene, and Lucas has the help of individuals like Mika.
To make up for it, we obtained some endearing moments between Mika and Helm, and that is a possible couple price rooting for this season.
Issues are going properly with them, and it is good to see the present incorporate Helm higher now than earlier than. She’s in Meredith Gray’s previous home partying it up with interns; good for her.
And Levi even confirmed up on the occasion and located him a scorching touring nurse to make out with and probably extra by the night time’s finish.
I do not apologize until I am unsuitable.
Blue
It is good that Helm and Levi, regardless of their statuses, get to dabble in a lot of these storylines with the interns since they missed out on them earlier than.
Jules and Blue are additionally an attention-grabbing pairing as a result of there’s the apparent sexual attraction between them that they’ve acted on. As Blue spends extra time round sufferers, he opens up extra and turns into extra weak.
They might be a pair that unexpectedly turns into extra severe than both of them envisioned, and it will be refreshing to see it.
They had been the right two characters to seek out themselves working when the others had been off-duty partying.
They usually obtained such an emotional case. Blue’s funding made you fall for his character much more, particularly when he labored onerous to seek out the right answer for the couple and went past what’s anticipated of him as a health care provider.
Maggie could not appear to know that and thought he was overstepping, nevertheless it solely appears like Blue will probably be a unique sort of physician, with model typically rooted in his experiences, and I respect that.
His answer that the couple will get divorced to get the help and assist they wanted was a inventive and logical loophole, and I am joyful that they may set their emotions apart and comply with it once they realized it was the only option for them.
And regardless that she’s his superior, I am glad that Blue passionately expressed himself to Maggie.
I do not apologize until I am unsuitable.
Blue
In the meantime, Maggie is doing okay at work, which is predicted, however her marriage remains to be a steaming scorching pile of trash. It is quintessential for Maggie to talk about it by way of medical jargon and search recommendation from others.
However by now, Maggie and Winston’s drama is tiring, and it will be finest for everybody if the pairing obtained put out of its distress.
And the identical goes for Owen and Teddy. When did they turn out to be this unhappily married couple who all the time bicker and bark at one another?
It has turn out to be this factor that appears like a comedic shtick that is overstayed its welcome. Are we imagined to see it as endearing that they are behaving like an previous couple who struggle nonstop however won’t ever divorce?
Are we imagined to need them to name it quits? Is it imagined to be humorous? As a result of it isn’t.
The whole lot about that dinner was uncomfortable. I can see the place it was imagined to be humorous, nevertheless it lasted too lengthy and was annoying.
It wasn’t honest to Bailey or Ben that they needed to play marriage counselors to 2 grown individuals who ought to have a deal with on their relationship by now.
They exchanged a number of humorous strains right here and there, however general, Teddy and Owen have turn out to be exhausting to observe onscreen collectively.
You can minimize their scenes out more often than not, they usually would not be missed.
Teddy is struggling to adapt to her new place as chief, and it isn’t all that it is cracked as much as be, and Owen will not let her neglect it. And he is additionally pissed that she will not save the job of Trauma head for him, however the man nonetheless would not even have his license.
It is ridiculous. The whole lot about them is absurd.
And worse but, they rubbed off on Ben and Bailey when the 2 left their dinner, and Ben dared to convey up that he resents Bailey for returning to work and would like her to be the one spending extra time with Pru at residence.
Bailey: How’s the medical license?
Owen: It is nonetheless suspended, however getting there.
Did not they get to maintain Pru within the first place as a result of HE had to decide on to place himself at much less threat on the job?
How the hell is that on Bailey? And Bailey has all the time labored and run the hospital, so why is he deciding that he would not prefer it now that she’s doing precisely what she’s all the time achieved?
And he sounds so sexist.
Hyperlink is having a tough go together with offended Tank followers, however engaged on that being pregnant case with Jo appeared to elevate his spirits.
Jo: How do you let somebody like that go?
Amelia: He wasn’t good for me, however possibly he is good for you.
In fact, the collection remains to be leaning closely into the JoLink pairing and even went so far as to have Jo inquire how Amelia might ever let Hyperlink go.
I am nonetheless bitter concerning the nonsensical dissolution of Amelink, so it was a irritating query. Amelia’s reply was good sufficient, they usually made certain to throw in a number of scenes along with her face-timing Kai to remind us of how joyful she is in her present relationship.
Which means we’ll have an official Jo and Hyperlink pairing sooner reasonably than later.
So, on that word, a lot of the {couples} are falling aside, however there’s hope on the horizon for a number of, assuming anybody is taken with any of them.
