This episode begins with Amelia FINALLY speaking to Kai on-display, whereas they arrange methods to see one another contemplating Kai is *supposed* to be in Minnesota and Amelia in Seattle… however we really see Kai seem behind Amelia, in Seattle! Yay! I couldn’t wait to see them again collectively once more.
Meredith and Zola stroll into the hospital atrium whereas Zola asks her if she will watch Meredith’s subsequent surgical procedure… as Zola goes away she explains to Nick and Maggie that she needed to convey her to the hospital together with her after the evening she went by means of having panic assaults (poor Zola…I really feel for her.) As they speak, Meredith sees Bailey strolling into the hospital, and asks her what she’s doing there, whereas Nicks says he gave her permission to make use of the brand new interns for a particular undertaking. When Bailey meets the brand new interns with Jo, she explains the rationale they began this undertaking is the truth that within the US – contemplating the brand new Roe v. Wade sentence – the one approach to not have children is to stop it by attempting to not get pregnant and that she’s making ready a intercourse training undertaking to unfold data to teenagers, on the web, about that.
The undertaking additionally includes our liked and superb Addison…it was so good to see her again, and FINALLY, we noticed her assembly Jo!! I would like this duo extra on this present! At one level within the crowd of residents, she identifies Lucas, her nephew, and as Addie goes to talk to him like she really is aware of him, he stops her, attempting to not let the opposite interns know. Although, I’d’ve liked to see them work together extra…I hope there’s an opportunity in future episodes.

In the subsequent scene, we see Teddy complain to Owen about not having interns for the day, and Lucas seems out of nowhere to hitch them as an alternative of attending Bailey’s undertaking.
The interns attending the undertaking begin to complain to Addison, Bailey, and Jo about not wanting to speak about intercourse and saying they’re not certified. Addison responds by saying that lots of of teenagers will get pregnant in school this 12 months and, as kids, they might nonetheless have to hold the being pregnant and/or get unlawful abortions due to how issues modified for the regulation whereas sharing data about intercourse training might really forestall lots of injury and doubtless lots of demise too. I like how the present is utilizing the “excuse” of this undertaking to unfold consciousness to its viewers too, particularly contemplating most of us grew up with the present and are adults, who will finally have kids (or not, it’s at all times as much as you, however you get my level), however many followers who’re becoming a member of now are barely teenagers.
While within the ER, a lady that we all know is Simone’s grandma comes as much as Schmidt asking for her daughter Denise (Simone’s mother, who died) who is meant to be in labor to ship her grandchild. To Schmidt it was nothing, however for me it was heartbreaking to see, understanding what we learn about Simone’s previous.
After this, we swap again to the interns speaking about contraceptive drugs and implants and all types of issues to stop a being pregnant with out really placing effort into it, which causes the youngsters to get bored and go to sleep, and Bailey to complain seeing such a ridiculous factor. Honestly, it struck me how people who find themselves what? 25-27? care so little about such an necessary subject as prevention, particularly contemplating the way it includes them too. As they speak about these types of issues, one of many teenagers will get out of the category and goes to the steps the place she runs into Addie, and explains her interval has been late for 3 weeks, and Addie tells her there could possibly be lots of causes for it to occur however she is going to get her a blood work if she needed to make sure. But whereas within the class, the interns begin discussing with Bailey about how they’re not even attempting and that the youngsters who’re listening are literally falling asleep… as they proceed to debate, we see additionally one other child getting sick, screaming her stomach hurts.

We additionally see Nick operating into Zola within the hospital, as she was attempting to get to a gallery to observe a surgical procedure, she begs him to not inform her mother, and he takes her to a different room to show her methods to use one of many robots surgeons use for minimally invasive surgical procedure (I believe? Just my guess). And how he talks on the telephone we see her studying the method all by herself, and he factors out she’s spectacular as a result of he needed to take a ten-years-lengthy practice to get it proper. I like this duo a lot, I do know he won’t ever substitute what Derek was for her, OF COURSE, however I believe he can nonetheless be an inspiration to her, like Meredith. And I’m glad we get to see them work together with out Mer, I believe it’s necessary her kids get to know him too.
As they speak about how good she’s at training with the robotic, at one level we additionally see Kai getting into the room and so they begin speaking to Nick in regards to the medical trial nonetheless operating in Minnesota, and as they proceed to speak Kai notices Zola actually solved a cognitive puzzle in just some minutes, and so they level out how not even adults can try this in such a short while. I imply we knew Zola was a shiny little one…however possibly she’s a genius too? We’ll see.
In the subsequent scene, we see Lucas coping with Simone’s grandmother, as she tells him her daughter as be dropped at “Seattle Grace” (the unique identify of GSMH), and that her surname is Griffith. He doesn’t perceive at first however as he manages to go looking her identify on the hospital’s servers, he involves the conclusion the girl they’re speaking about died in 1995.
We study the lady who virtually fainted in the course of the intercourse training classes really has an ovarian torsion and a cyst that must be eliminated quickly, and Bailey asks Jo to name Addison to carry out the surgical procedure together with her, as Jo tells her they each want privileges to function within the hospital. In the classroom, the interns are nonetheless speaking to the bored teenagers, however as Simone will get paged to the pit (in all probability by Lucas), Jules, Mika, and Benson begin speaking in a extra pleasant approach to the teenagers, involving them within the dialog.
As Simone goes to the pit, she met with Lucas and her grandmother who asks about Denise. As Simone tries to clarify she’s her granddaughter and that Denise is lifeless, her grandmother begins panicking and fights Simone. Thankfully Meredith sees every thing and intervenes, understanding methods to take care of folks with Alzheimer, as the girl retains asking her methods to discover her daughter. I’ve to say, this scene was so heartbreaking to see, and we are able to see from Simone’s eyes this has occurred earlier than.
In the subsequent scene, we see Nick calling Amelia and Maggie to see what’s occurring with Zola, and the way she’s fixing cognitive puzzles prefer it’s nothing to her, whereas Kai checks her capabilities. As I mentioned earlier than, I believe now we have one other genius in the home.
In the meantime, Jules asks Link to make a video together with her explaining the which means of consent, and he diminishes her, saying she ought to inform this to an actual couple as an alternative of speaking to him. She asks Winston to persuade Maggie to do it, however he refuses, so she asks Owen and Teddy. And let me inform you I LOVED how Owen spoke to the youngsters, he was authoritative, sure, however contemplating the significance of consent, he was superb at explaining you’ll be able to’t manipulate somebody to offer consent. I believe they’re turning him round a bit and I’m appreciating it. As I liked how empowering Teddy sounded whereas speaking about intercourse.

Meredith and Simone find yourself speaking outdoors the hospital about Simone’s grandmother, and Meredith tells her Ellis had Alzheimer’s too, that it’s tough to take care of it, that she feels her ache and that her door is at all times open to speak about it. And I believe that is the height second we see Meredith being the best Chief this hospital has ever had.
After this, Meredith is named by Nick, Kai, and Maggie and so they begin explaining to her Zola took Kai’s neurocognitive checks and she or he nailed all of them, greater than the adults do (each in time and capabilities), and that Zola is clearly a gifted child. And as a gifted child, some behaviors (corresponding to panic assaults and anxiousness) are typical for presented children and she or he must be amongst friends who can relate to her, her capabilities, and the way in which she thinks.
The lady Addie met on the stairs is definitely pregnant, she panics when she hears Schmidt say the check is constructive and says she’s – in fact – only a child and that if she will’t handle her fish it’s apparent she will’t handle one other human being. After her rant, he explains to her how she will terminate the being pregnant underneath 10 weeks (she’s at 3), by simply taking some drugs, and she or he accepts. And after Addison will get out of surgical procedure the put together the lady explaining precisely methods to take the drugs and methods to face the eventual unwanted effects.

In the classroom, the residents are nonetheless speaking about intercourse training, and Jules is the one main the group essentially the most, explaining how “adult entertainment” doesn’t give an actual instance of how relationships, intercourse, and consent really work. And to “sell it” much more to the web, she plans to make a music video with all of the medical doctors. It was such a enjoyable thought, and she or he was good each in the way in which she talked and in the way in which she led the lesson. She’s nonetheless my favourite above all of them.

After this, we see Richard and Bailey speaking in regards to the mentioned video (it was such a enjoyable bit), and she or he explains she wanna come again to the hospital the day after, reopen the clinic and dedicate it to reproductive well being, whereas nonetheless being an attending and a instructor. And she additionally explains she has no intention of being Chief once more so I’m wondering…who’s gonna be Chief when Mer goes away? Still, I’m very completely happy we’ll get Bailey again on the crew, she’s the guts of the present and I’ve missed her.
Simone and Adams find yourself speaking about what occurred in the course of the day and she or he mentioned she discovered about Addie being Lucas’ aunt. They each determined she would maintain his secret if he stored hers.

In the meantime, Amelia and Maggie speak about Maggie’s childhood, how she was a gifted child too and she or he used to make these cognitive puzzles on a regular basis as a child and she or he virtually feels responsible for not noticing Zola was gifted too.
At the top of the episode, we see Owen and Teddy lastly getting collectively once more (let’s simply hope they gained’t combat once more after this). And so it occurs to Kai and Amelia and…stunning…Jules and Blue? That was a REAL shock.
And lastly, FINALLY, we see Nick and Meredith collectively once more, kissing. IT’S CONFIRMED NOW! FINALLY! I hope we get to benefit from the few episodes left with them.
Lots occurred on this episode, and I favored it so much, in all probability one of the best of the season but, and essentially the most academic one in a very long time. What did you consider this episode? Did you prefer it? Let me know within the feedback!
