Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 Finale Recap: Explosions, Love Triangles, and One Angry Mama Bear

Here we are folks, the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. The season had its ups and downs but did it go out with a bang?

Let’s dive into the Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 finale.

Another Hostage Situation Rocks Grey Sloan

So, another hostage situation and this time instead of an angry widow, it is an angry mother. Don’t mess with a mama bear when it comes to her cubs—and Amelia learned that the hard way when Jenna took the OR hostage and demanded that Amelia, Simone, and Lucas fix her daughter Dylan.

Amelia thought that risky surgery went well, but now Dylan is in a comatose state, unable to blink and communicate at all. Amelia – you in danger girl.

Meredith to the Rescue (Again)

Monica told Richard, who remembers this happened in past seasons and enacted the right protocol. Luckily, the plot called for Meredith to be back visiting, and she had just what the doctor ordered to help.

Side bar: Richard is mad at her AGAIN, because she’s going to sell her shares in the hospital to pay for her research. Ok, seems fine to me. But—Amelia saved Dylan, and Jenna said the tank was empty the whole time when the cops came to arrest her.

Richard Makes a Big Ask of Meredith

Richard told Meredith he wanted her and Bailey to take over the hospital, and that is why he was so angry about the shares. Meredith agreed to stay on during the summers if she got a lab and would be available for consults.

So that worked out for everyone and gives Meredith an excuse to be around next season.

Simone, Lucas, and a New Love Triangle?

So remember last episode Simone hooked up with a new guy? Well, Lucas apologized wanting to work things out—but the thing is, the new guy is the new resident.

So yeah, next year is going to definitely be awkward. Enter a new love triangle that could rival that of Meredith, Derek, and Addison if done correctly. I am rooting for you Lucas. Step up.

Jules and Winston… Just Kiss Already!

Meanwhile, Jules and Winston have all types of tension. Seeing each other change (by accident, sure), and Jules wanting back on Winston’s service—but he doesn’t want lines blurred any further.

Just kiss already!

Trouble in Paradise: Teddy and Owen

You know who isn’t kissing? Teddy and Owen. Teddy saved Nora—hooray! But, in true Owen fashion, he admitted he had feelings for Nora but didn’t want to be with her. Well, Teddy said she ain’t having it.

So that relationship? Stick a fork in it.

Ben Breaks the Rules in True Ben Fashion

Bailey let her husband Ben know that Teddy was not going to keep him on at Grey Sloan. So when a patient needed emergency surgery, Ben does what Ben does and operates right there. And what does he care, as he pointed out:

“What are they going to do, fire me?”

A Shocking Cliffhanger for Link and Jo

Finally, Jo and Link did their best to enjoy their honeymoon at the hospital, unaware of the hostage situation. So when they did emerge, Link went on to perform a surgery feeling good that he and Jo were having twin girls.

Remember that tank was supposed to be empty—but it wasn’t. So while performing his surgery, there was an explosion. Link’s fate is unknown.

Grey’s Anatomy Ends With a Boom

The finale definitely went out with a boom—and a possible death, with relationships also blowing up.
