Grey’s Anatomy, Returns Thursday, February 23, 9/8c, ABC
Season 1, Episode 1
In the premiere episode, “A Hard Day’s Night,” Meredith, a new surgical intern, runs into her hunky bed partner from the previous night, Dr. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey). Horrified, she ignores the neurosurgery chief. We wanted more!
Season 3, Episode 14
In “Wishin’ and Hopin’,” Meredith informs her temporarily lucid mom, legendary surgeon Ellis Grey (Kate Burton), of her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Ellis cruelly calls her daughter “ordinary.” Mer takes it, but later boldly stands up for herself. As a shrink would suggest.
Season 2, Episode 1
Meredith’s friendship with guarded cohort Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) was both hard-won and true. In the classic “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head,” Cristina says to Mer, “You’re my person.” The now-iconic phrase ranks up there with the pair’s “dance it out” scenes.
Season 12, Episode 9
Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) trilled the Temptations’ “My Girl,” guiding a temporarily mute Meredith’s wheelchair in “The Sound of Silence.” Her mom’s true love, Richard was always Mer’s protector and supporter. Swoon.
Season 19, Episode 7
hip-smart surgical star Meredith Grey exits in “I’ll Follow the Sun” with a buh-bye to Seattle’s Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital that’s so sweet, tears will roll nationwide (ours for sure!). She’s off to Boston, a job with less stress and QT with her kids.
