On the March 20 episode of ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ it’s Dr. Webber’s birthday! But don’t get too excited, because Catherine Avery is back in town and she’s got it out for Jackson’s new wife, April.
Is Dr. Hunt forcing Dr. Webber to retire? Is Derek really going to screw over Callie and steal her research? The answers to these questions and more can be found right here in this recap.

On the March 13 episode of ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ Hunt calls Cristina on her B.S. while Arizona’s relationship with Callie struggles after they find out who filed the harassment complaint and why.
In case you’ve forgotten, Grey’s Anatomy takes place in a hospital — and they make it a point to remind you of that over and over and over again during the March 13 episode.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ finally returned on Feb. 27 — and the emotional struggles continued.
In an unsurprising turn of events April (Sarah Drew) chooses Jackson (Jesse Williams), but she’s quick to re-think the decision. Cristina (Sandra Oh) desperately tries to make amends with Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) in the only way she knows how, and Alex (Justin Chambers) fights just about everyone for his fathers life.

Needless to say, the return of Grey’s Anatomy picked up right where we left it — and dragged our emotions along for an extremely bumpy ride.

The Dec. 12 midseason finale of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ was one for the ages.
Seriously, what didn’t happened on the Dec. 12 episode of Grey’s Anatomy? This episode had it all: Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Cristina (Sandra Oh) continued to shoot verbal bullets at each other, Alex (Justin Chambers) and his dad reached closure, and then there was that wedding.

Plus, Alex gets a shocking surprise!

Has Callie messed up her career — and her life — to the point of no return?

Plus, Meredith & Cristina’s friendship hits a new low! Can it ever recover?
Some of our favorite doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial started to lose their cool on the Nov. 7 episode of Grey’s Anatomy: Ben (Jason George) began to notice that Bailey (Chandra Wilson) is not OK, and Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Meredith’s (Ellen Pompeo) friendship reached an all-time low.

Plus: Meredith had her say with Cristina, and Arizona found herself in a(nother) awkward situation!

The doctors of Grey Sloan Memorial just continue to pile on the drama! On the Oct. 24 episode of Grey’s Anatomy, Alex (Justin Chambers) finally braved his daddy issues, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Cristina (Sandra Oh) continued down their rocky path, and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) started to move on with her life!

Plus, one of the doctors makes a bad first impression & Arizona wonders if she slept with someone else… again!
The competition among the doctors heated up on the Oct. 17 episode of Grey’s Anatomy. In what was supposed to be a ground-breaking surgery they would do together, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Cristina (Sandra Oh) came to blows as to who is the better surgeon! Take your pick, and let’s dig in.

For the first time, Katherine’s former co-star offers her take on ‘Izzie’s’ infamous exit.
It’s been more than three years since Katherine Heigl scrubbed in on Grey’s Anatomy — her final episode aired Jan. 21, 2010 — but her departure remains a touchy subject. In a new interview with the New York Post, show star Ellen Pompeo gets very candid about the reasons behind Katherine’s exit, which she attributes to “hurt feelings, combined with instant success and huge paychecks started things spinning out of control.”

It’s all aboard the struggle bus for most of the doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial. From newborns to exams, these doctors are being pushed to the max. Plus, Richard makes a jaw-dropping confession to Meredith!
Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) are the epitome of new parents on the Oct. 3 episode of Grey’s Anatomy: messy and sleep-deprived. They may have been accustomed to staying up all hours of the night for surgeries, but that is nothing compared to caring for a newborn. In short, it’s so nice to finally see Meredith and Derek be normal after so many years of heartbreak. (R.I.P. Lexie and Mark!)

The newly named Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital was buzzing with excitement as it reopened its ER on the March 21 episode of Grey’s Anatomy.

One of the hospital’s very own finds himself in a new position of power after a sudden turn of events.
After Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Cristina (Sandra Oh), Callie (Sara Ramirez), Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) quit Seattle Grace Mercy West, the hospital was full of chaos in the Feb. 21 episode of Grey’s Anatomy. But much to everyone’s surprise, Pegasus still wanted to buy the hospital — now for a very different reason.

The rebels resort to desperate measures to save the hospital; but are they in way over their heads?
In order to save Seattle Grace Mercy West, Callie (Sara Ramirez) tried to convince Derek (Patrick Dempsey), Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Cristina (Sandra Oh), and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) to pool their money together and buy the hospital on the Feb. 14 episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Unfortunately for Callie, not everyone was on board with the idea.

This hospital is facing an uncertain future — but it wasn’t all bad news this week: Meredith felt her baby kick for the first time!

Plus, Arizona finally returns to work at the hospital!
On the Nov. 29 episode of Grey’s Anatomy, Owen (Kevin McKidd) discovered that the airline the hospital used for the crash had a known history of mechanical problems — and even worse, Owen unknowingly signed off on it. After learning that the crash was his own fault, Owen wondered why he hadn’t been fired by the board. He quickly realized that the board was hoping that because he was married to one of the plane crash victims, the case would be thrown out.

In a flashback episode, we learned what exactly happened after the plane crash.
