Its George, guys.

Precious George is the next person Meredith runs into on her dreamy beach.

(You had to be there were you there?

It was a realGreysmoment.)

Its just really good to lay eyes on George OMalley after all this time.

While Meredith and George continue their catch-up session, Meredith starts to hear Richard talking.

He doesnt interact with them, hes just there.

She isnt alone in this.

Meredith is wondering if she has a choice in all this, too.

(George saying that if he had a choice, he wouldve stayed with them really broke me.

She could stay in this peaceful idyll, leaving behind the people who love her, including her kids.

But Merediths been through so much.

He tells DeLuca to put Meredith in the trial.

The beach is a little more peaceful than Mers hospital room.

Shes still chatting with George.

(Hes much more talkative and direct than Derek, huh?)

Can you tell Im crying now?

I mean, Meredith Grey telling George OMalley that he changed her life?

A direct callback toMerediths voiceover from Georges last episode?

What is this world?!

Hes really hurting, friends: He watched little Meredith Grey grow up, after all.

He is floored by how helpless and alone he feels in this moment, just waiting.

So Bailey stays, too.

Speaking of fragile, how are Merediths sisters doing with all of this?

In short: Not so well.

Winston tries to remind Maggie to find joy, no matter how small, wherever she can.

That includes having virtual dinner with him and his Nana to celebrate her birthday.

And then Winston just leaves the chat!

With Maggie still there!

She stays on and starts awkwardly asking about cake, and I can appreciate that.

Shes not mad at Winston, though.

Apparently the man has a temper and theres some real drama here that will surely come up later.

Welcome toGreys Anatomy, sir!

Amelia, naturally, is spiraling.

Shes fed up with Link trying to focus on the bright side of things.

Finally, she lets him have it: He cant keep dismissing her feelings.

So Link sets up some chairs for them to talk.

Hes giving her space for all of her feelings.

Amelia backs off, giving him space for his good things.

So the Sisters seem to be coping with Merediths dire situation fairly well for now.

Still, Meredith is a long way from recovering and that beach is looking pretty cozy.

We all might need some space for our feelings soon.

The O.R.

Instead of appendicitis, the patient is suffering from right-sided diverticulitis.

Its rare, but its a condition that is ten times more likely to occur in Asian patients.

If he had thought about that, they wouldnt be in this situation.

Tseng wants to confront Owen about his bias, but Nico advises her against calling out her attending.

Instead, Nico does it.

She tells him that what matters now is what he does with that information.

He can change protocols.

Jo and Jackson dont want to be a thing which means they are definitely a thing now.

Both swear they cant be in a relationship and are only seeking sex and friendship in these troubled times.

Well see how long that lasts.

Its a real laugh-to-hide-the-tears-of-truth throw in of situation.

Cool, cool, cool.

You know what, Mer?

You stay on that beach.

Things are terrible here!
