Happiness eludes means too many characters on this collection proper now.

It felt like everybody was combating, and there have been few treasured moments throughout Gray’s Anatomy Season 19 Episode 9. Teddy and Owen bickered endlessly, Bailey and Ben almost adopted swimsuit, Maggie realized that her marriage could be doomed, and Simone broke Lucas’ coronary heart.

However on the plus facet, Helm and Mika are undoubtedly hitting it off properly and on their solution to changing into the subsequent endearing ship, whereas Levi lastly obtained laid by a sizzling touring nurse!

They teased a enjoyable installment meant to have a nostalgic really feel to the early days of the collection when M.A.G.I.C. would have home events.

Whereas there was a home get together, a lot of its pleasure was underwhelming, and the drama was too repetitive and irritating.

The Simone and Lucas state of affairs took some irritating turns because the collection tried to drag from bits of the Meredith, Derek, and Addison love triangle with an entire totally different really feel.

Trey, not like Addison, is not attention-grabbing within the least. He is unlikeable and never value rooting for, though he is good to have a look at, so there’s one thing.

It is exhausting to put money into no matter maintain he has on Simone as a result of we all know little of their relationship, and if you see them in motion, it is nothing spectacular.

It is also straightforward to jot down him off when he does not appear to help her after every little thing she endured at her earlier hospital, and he gives the look that he wished she had sucked it up and dealt along with her mistreatment.

Additionally, it makes you marvel why he popped into the image now. Simone is lastly settled, discovering her place at Gray Sloan, thriving, and discovering happiness.

She’s additionally discovered her folks, and sure, it is evident that Mika and Lucas, on the very least, are her folks. And right here comes her ex-fiance to muck every little thing up, too little, too late.

It is stunning that it even labored. Certain, they’ve this in depth historical past, however by now, it is sufficient to make you would like that she’d caught to the clear break she made when she got here to Gray Sloan and moved on slightly than getting sucked into the previous and familiarity of Trey.

In fact, I am biased since Simone and Lucas are extremely cute and sizzling collectively. They’ve nice chemistry, they usually convey out one of the best sides of one another.

They’ve additionally developed a closeness that goes past the sexual attraction they’ve for every, born out of mutual respect and a vulnerability that neither of them has shared with anybody else since their introduction.

And did I point out they’re sizzling?

Niko: In the event you love him, it’s best to struggle for him.
Simone: You are pushing me towards him.
Niko: I am not pushing you, I am saying, do you like him?

It was traditional Gray’s messiness that she was within the room with Lucas, undressing, moments away from having some supremely sizzling intercourse whereas cockblocker that he’s, Trey, stood exterior the door confessing his like to Simone.

Trey was baring his soul to a closed door, not understanding that on the opposite facet of it, some impossibly fairly man with implausible hair had his hand shoved down his ex-fiancee’s pants.

If that is not awkward, what’s?

It is a mark of how a lot Lucas genuinely cares about Simone and desires one of the best for her that he can categorical how a lot he cares about her and bathe her with real compliments about how clever she is, however he famous that she nonetheless had emotions for her ex and stepped again.

It harm him dearly, however he wasn’t about to insert himself into one thing when he may inform that Simone’s coronary heart could also be elsewhere, they usually did point out how she did not need to make him a rebound earlier than they almost launched into their relationship.

However simply because Lucas is an effective man does not imply that Simone wasn’t insensitive as hell for getting re-engaged with Trey in entrance of everybody at that get together and displaying off her ring within the locker room at work.

They dwell and work collectively, so goodness is aware of how terrible it will likely be for Lucas shifting ahead now that he has to see the girl he is developed emotions for with another person.

They dashed our Simone/Lucas hopes earlier than issues began, and now we should cope with Simone’s choice till it inevitably blows up in her face.

However at the very least we obtained a Dance it Out scene, and Lucas has the help of individuals like Mika.

To make up for it, we obtained some endearing moments between Mika and Helm, and that is a possible couple value rooting for this season.

Issues are going properly with them, and it is good to see the present incorporate Helm higher now than earlier than. She’s in Meredith Gray’s outdated home partying it up with interns; good for her.

And Levi even confirmed up on the get together and located him a sizzling touring nurse to make out with and presumably extra by the evening’s finish.

I do not apologize except I am fallacious.

It is good that Helm and Levi, regardless of their statuses, get to dabble in these kind of storylines with the interns since they missed out on them earlier than.

Jules and Blue are additionally an attention-grabbing pairing as a result of there’s the apparent sexual attraction between them that they’ve acted on. As Blue spends extra time round sufferers, he opens up extra and turns into extra susceptible.

They may very well be a pair that unexpectedly turns into extra severe than both of them envisioned, and it could be refreshing to see it.

They have been the right two characters to seek out themselves working when the others have been off-duty partying.

And so they obtained such an emotional case. Blue’s funding made you fall for his character much more, particularly when he labored exhausting to seek out the right answer for the couple and went past what’s anticipated of him as a health care provider.

Maggie could not appear to understand that and thought he was overstepping, but it surely solely seems like Blue can be a distinct kind of physician, with type typically rooted in his experiences, and I respect that.

His answer that the couple will get divorced to get the help and assist they wanted was a inventive and logical loophole, and I am joyful that they might set their emotions apart and comply with it once they realized it was the only option for them.

And though she’s his superior, I am glad that Blue passionately expressed himself to Maggie.

I do not apologize except I am fallacious.

In the meantime, Maggie is doing okay at work, which is predicted, however her marriage remains to be a steaming sizzling pile of trash. It is quintessential for Maggie to discuss it by way of medical jargon and search recommendation from others.

However by now, Maggie and Winston’s drama is tiring, and it could be finest for everybody if the pairing obtained put out of its distress.

And the identical goes for Owen and Teddy. When did they turn out to be this unhappily married couple who all the time bicker and bark at one another?

It has turn out to be this factor that seems like a comedic shtick that is overstayed its welcome. Are we speculated to see it as endearing that they are behaving like an outdated couple who struggle nonstop however won’t ever divorce?

Are we speculated to need them to name it quits? Is it speculated to be humorous? As a result of it is not.

All the things about that dinner was uncomfortable. I can see the place it was speculated to be humorous, but it surely lasted too lengthy and was annoying.

It wasn’t truthful to Bailey or Ben that they needed to play marriage counselors to 2 grown individuals who ought to have a deal with on their relationship by now.

They exchanged just a few humorous traces right here and there, however general, Teddy and Owen have turn out to be exhausting to observe onscreen collectively.

You can reduce their scenes out more often than not, they usually would not be missed.

Teddy is struggling to adapt to her new place as chief, and it is not all that it is cracked as much as be, and Owen will not let her neglect it. And he is additionally pissed that she will not save the job of Trauma head for him, however the man nonetheless does not even have his license.

It is ridiculous. All the things about them is absurd.

And worse but, they rubbed off on Ben and Bailey when the 2 left their dinner, and Ben dared to convey up that he resents Bailey for returning to work and would like her to be the one spending extra time with Pru at house.

Bailey: How’s the medical license?
Owen: It is nonetheless suspended, however getting there.

Did not they get to maintain Pru within the first place as a result of HE had to decide on to place himself at much less danger on the job?

How the hell is that on Bailey? And Bailey has all the time labored and run the hospital, so why is he deciding that he does not prefer it now that she’s doing precisely what she’s all the time performed?

And he sounds so sexist.

Hyperlink is having a tough go along with offended Tank followers, however engaged on that being pregnant case with Jo appeared to raise his spirits.

Jo: How do you let somebody like that go?
Amelia: He wasn’t excellent for me, however perhaps he is excellent for you.

In fact, the collection remains to be leaning closely into the JoLink pairing and even went so far as to have Jo inquire how Amelia may ever let Hyperlink go.

I am nonetheless bitter concerning the nonsensical dissolution of Amelink, so it was a irritating query. Amelia’s reply was good sufficient, they usually made certain to throw in just a few scenes along with her face-timing Kai to remind us of how joyful she is in her present relationship.

Meaning we’ll have an official Jo and Hyperlink pairing sooner slightly than later.

So, on that notice, a lot of the {couples} are falling aside, however there’s hope on the horizon for just a few, assuming anybody is serious about any of them.
