While Grey’s Anatomy is definitely known for its longevity and its tragic character deaths, it is best known for its epic hookups. Fans have been clamoring for romance between Dr. Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) and Dr. Kai Bartley (E.R. Fightmaster) all season, and the March 17 episode finally delivered with a steamy hookup.
Amelia has had her fair share of failed relationships, particularly with Dr. Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) and Dr. Atticus Lincoln (Chris Carmack), so viewers are thrilled that the neurosurgeon is getting another shot at love. Grey’s Anatomy fans are always vocal on Twitter while the episodes air, but it was a full-blown meltdown on Thursday night.
