I feel like in this season there is so much dialogue and just not a lot of action.
I’m doing a rewatch and recently watched Izzy drill bore holes (?) into a man’s skull at the site of the ferry crash while Weber talked her through it on speakerphone. Those type of scenes really added something special to the show and I feel like they balanced out the dialogue-heavy scenes really well.
Obviously covid put a lot of limits on the filming of the season, though.

I'm watching the older seasons too and I feel like they used to do a better job of weaving the social issues into the larger plots of the episodes with more authentic and natural dialogue. This season has dealt with so many heavy topics but the dialogue has been so overbearing that it doesn't land the same way.

So with what seems to be more character sharing, the lady that had surgery (came in from the protest with Richard) is Phylicia Rashad who plays Beth's mom on This Is Us. And she happens to be Debbie Allen's sister (Jackson's mom/Catherine Fox). Mrs Cosby! I was about to say and CLAIRE FUCKING HUXTABLE! Respect.

lol at reading into Jackson’s GPS too closely. They basically had Winston seem like he drove from Boston to Seattle in a day. 🤣

I didn’t think April moved that far away. Jackson has had scenes where he’s got Harriet at his place (like back when he was dating the firewoman) and it seems unlikely he’d have easy parenting time with that kind of distance. So I’m skeptical that he’s going to see April.
I’m very confused about the timeline. Are we in late May/early June 2020 or are we in 2021? They haven’t mentioned vaccines at all so I imagine still 2020 somewhere. It just is all unclear.

They were in the future for so long and now living in the past. It has to be a little hard to keep up with 🤣

At the end of Station 19 right before Grey's last week, same timeline, the George Floyd video pinged everyone's phones.

I did see that Sarah Drew confirmed she'll be back for the May 6 episode which is still a few weeks away so maybe he starts by seeing his dad or someone else further away and then comes back to visit her? IIRC, she and Matthew are working to help provide medical care to homeless populations in the Seattle area right? So maybe he goes to her related to the things he wants to do in the community too.

Zola with Meredith was sweet. The rest of the episode was... redundant.
I'm so glad Jackson was going to see April after all. I've been rewatching episodes from seasons 10 and 11 and the scenes that they showed of them in the past are pretty fresh in my mind. I'm looking forward to a (hopefully) non-covid heavy story line.

Zolaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! So so sweet. And I'm glad Mer is like, awake now, for real.
Usually I can't with Teddy, but that scene with Owen in the quiet room really got to me, he was the friend she really needed in that moment, and my gosh did she need a friend, some grounding and support. Mercy.

But I would be really annoyed if they got back together at this point because I also think Matthew is a really good guy and it would be so shitty of April to do that again to him. Especially after all he’s been through. Plus I also like him being FWB with Jo so I want that to continue haha.

Just add me to the list that was a mess with Zola chatting with her mom. So sweet. Predictable, but sweet. I also liked the scene with her and Maggie.
I also thought it was adorable how much Winston was into saving Grey and wanting to be able to meet his future sister in law.
