Thursday’s Grey’s Anatomy not solely marked Kate Walsh’s newest return as Addison, it introduced Bailey again to Grey Sloan, the place the 2 of them teamed up with Jo to supply a sequence of social-media movies through which the interns taught intercourse ed. Needless to say, what occurred subsequent was extra sophisticated than, “Well, when a bird really, really likes a bee… ” and if you happen to learn on, we’ll go over all the small print.
’YOU’RE GETTING PAID TO TALK ABOUT SEX TODAY’ | As “Let’s Talk About Sex” started, Lucas skateboarded to Grey Sloan, Amelia struggled to discover a solution to get to see long-distance love Kai, solely to find that they had been already in Seattle (shock!), and Zola got here to the hospital with Meredith moderately than go to high school (because the teenager was nonetheless having panic assaults). Nearby, Bailey turned up at her outdated stomping grounds, having been given permission by Nick to make use of the interns within the sex-ed venture that she and Jo had mounted within the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned. When Addison, on the town to work with Bailey and Jo, crossed paths with Lucas, she warmly greeted him as Shep… earlier than he discreetly made it clear that she wasn’t purported to acknowledge that he was Derek’s nephew. From the get-go, the interns tried to make excuses to not take part — and that was earlier than they discovered that they wouldn’t simply be chatting with a video digicam, they’d be chatting with a roomful of actual children. As the interns bombed studying from Jo’s script, one of many teenage women fled from the room and admitted to Addison that she was late. Back within the auditorium, one other lady keeled over in ache.
While Jules obtained the children’ consideration by explaining the place the clitoris is, and Blue shared why the pullout methodology was so ineffective, Girl No. 2 turned out to have a large cyst. Called in to the O.R., Addison tasked Levi with reassuring Girl No. 1 as she waited for check outcomes. So he needed to be the one who confirmed for her that sure, she’d gotten pregnant after the primary time she ever had intercourse. But not less than he was capable of clarify that they might give her drugs to medically abort as long as they’d caught the being pregnant early sufficient. (They had.) Eventually, Jules recruited Owen and Teddy, of all {couples}, to show the children about consent. The interns additionally schooled the children on how completely different precise intercourse was from porn intercourse. (Spoiler alert: very.)
(*3*)‘I’M A VERY HAPPY PERSON, HE’S JUST BITTER AND BROKEN’ | Though Lucas supported Bailey, Jo and Addison’s venture, he wanted extra pit time, so he volunteered to assist Teddy (particularly since Owen was worse than ineffective to her at current). Soon, he was assigned by Levi to assist Joyce (aka Simone’s grandmother) discover her daughter, who she believed was giving delivery that day. (As we already knew, Simone’s mom died at Seattle Grace giving delivery to her.) Soon sufficient, Joyce stated that if her daughter had a woman, she’d be named Simone. Lightbulb second for Lucas. Then, in a horrifying second, Simone needed to inform her grandmother once more that her mother had died. Meredith to the rescue. (Well, insofar as she may assist, what with not having the ability to resurrect Simone’s mother.) Griffith wasn’t positive that she may deal with her grandmother’s situation. But Grey assured her that as she’d needed to be with Ellis, Griffith could possibly be along with her grandmother. After Mer advised that letting Joyce dwell in her actuality is likely to be the kindest choice (versus telling her again and again that her daughter has died), Simone went forward and performed her mother for Joyce. (Heartbreaking stuff.) Later, Simone thanked Lucas for staying along with her grandma all day and requested him to not inform anybody about her situation. If he may preserve his lips zipped, Simone added, she wouldn’t reveal that he was a Shepherd — yeah, she’d figured it out after he’d been so bizarre with “Aunt Addie.”
‘TEN YEARS OF TRAINING, AND I’M BASICALLY PLAYING A VIDEO GAME’ | Bored along with her homework, Zola snuck out of Mer’s workplace in the hunt for a surgical procedure to look at however wound up being intercepted by Nick, who confirmed her cool gadgetry in his lab. Did he all the time know that he needed to be a physician? she requested. No, not till his mother had died. When Kai got here in, they had been impressed by Zola’s cognitive skills on neurological checks that had been mendacity round. So was Nick, who referred to as in Amelia and Maggie to see how good Zola is. When Mer arrived on the scene, ticked that her daughter had taken these checks with out her consent, Maggie and Kai advised that Zola’s genius is likely to be what was sparking the panic assaults.
‘WHAT ARE WE POINTING AT?’ | As the hour neared its conclusion, the docs all busted out dance strikes for the sex-ed reel. (Glee vet Harry Shum Jr. was, after all, killer.) When Richard requested Bailey once they’d see her once more, she advised… tomorrow. Given that there was a humanitarian disaster happening, she needed to open the clinic once more to guard reproductive rights and work as an attending the remainder of the time. “That’s my best and final offer,” she stated. Natch, Webber accepted it. Zola’s brilliance sparked reminiscences in Maggie of her personal childhood; she couldn’t consider that she hadn’t observed it in her niece. What had helped Maggie? Amelia requested. A toddler therapist had given her coping instruments. Zola would get her instruments, Amelia promised. Richard invited Addison to dinner, however she needed to work. After Roe v. Wade, she felt “erased.” He inspired her to dwell, too, and eat. Finally, Mer admitted to Nick that she was misplaced as to what to do for Zola. He noticed the upside of the day — they now had a chunk of the puzzle that they hadn’t had earlier than. At residence, impressed by their sex-ed presentation, Teddy gave Owen consent to get it on along with her. And on the identical time, Amelia and Kai obtained busy. (Not all of them collectively, thoughts you.) And as Link massaged Jo’s ft, she shared that she’d discovered that even they’d erogenous zones. “Should I stop?” Hell, no. At the hospital, Lucas and Simone getting awfully chummy, and Blue and Jules snuck into the on-call room to have intercourse. “I don’t even like you,” she stated. “I’m not for everyone,” he replied. Love! These! Interns!
