Part of me hated that Meredith was using Andrew’s sickness to her advantage. If Andrew was doing that for anyone else Meredith would be stepping in and telling him not to. 

I do think it is awesome that Andrew was able to figure out what was wrong with Richard and having Meredith’s support meant everything to him. He finally felt like he was being heard. 

The heart eyes during the surgery were so cute. Andrew does still love Meredith. 

That final scene between them broke me. I hate seeing Andrew so broken. I think he is realising that there is something wrong with him but doesn’t know how to explain it. But hopefully with Meredith’s support they are able to get him some help

DEADLINE: I want to touch on DeLuca, who has gone through this really rocky journey with Meredith this season. Although they haven’t really been able to figure out their personal relationship, they’ve proven to be a great medical team. What can you tease about this couple? Last season, we talked about Meredith being ready for love. What can we tease about this couple in the future? Is somebody else going to throw a wrench in everything? Somebody by the name of Hayes?

VERNOFF: There is hope for Meredith and DeLuca, and I think that there is hope for Meredith and Hayes. I will be fascinated to see how that storytelling emerges in season 17 because this story played in a way that I didn’t picture. You know, you write a thing, and then the actors play it, and then it gets all put together, and then you know what the story is. You don’t know how it’s going to play when you write it. It’s been amazing for me to watch this story this season. I feel like Giacomo has been so compelling, and DeLuca has risen so much, and simultaneously, Hayes has been really compelling and feels very much like Meredith’s equal. At this point, I’, not even sure which couple I’m rooting for, and that’s always an exciting thing.
