Okay guys, since I am too lazy to write on my own, copy pasting from a website and highlighting my issues with bold red.
Grey's Anatomy Season 17 Episode 15 Review: Tradition
Yes, after Jackson Avery's departure by the end of Grey's Anatomy Season 17 Episode 15, it means that Meredith Grey really is the last of her class standing at Seattle Grace Mercy West Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
And the hour was supposed to be his big farewell.
After three-quarters of the season was devoted to sadness, tragedies, death, and what seemed to be never ending heavy storylines, the installment was the lightest, most upbeat that we've had.
Evidently, happiness, uplifting stories, and no death is associated with Meredith Grey's recovery and official return to the land of the living.
We've established by now how obsessed Grey's Anatomy is with Meredith Grey, and of course, she is the titular character and lead. However, that obsession has a way of impeding other storylines and characters.
In this case, Meredith's recovery and last day at the hospital somehow usurped Jackson's farewell.
It felt as if the hour was making space for Jackson's moments, squeezing them in between cases, sexy reunions, guy talk, and the entire hospital fretting over and celebrating Meredith's good health.
Their scenes were sweet, but they also didn't come without what remains an alarming amount of Meredith Grey praise. Did she start a cult without my knowing?
Somehow, even their shared moment of bonding turned into an opportunity to say how he got things from her.
Although, it sucked that Jackson mentioned how important the celebration was to everyone, and she bailed on them anyway.
