It wouldn’t be a Thursday night on Twitter without Grey’s Anatomy fans getting all up in their feels over the latest emotional twists and turns on the long-running medical drama and the latest episode caused the show to trend even harder than ever. The return of Lexie Grey and Mark Sloan broke Twitter, as fans wept over the brief look into the tragic couple’s happy afterlife together.
Fans were also thrilled to see Meredith come off the ventilator and breathe on her own, giving them hope that soon she’ll awaken from her COVID coma and rejoin her family in the land of the living. As wonderful as it is to see Meredith reunite with the long dead, it’s time for her to reunite with her kids. Add in some text messages from Cristina Yang — could Sandra Oh be the next to make a cameo? — and it was as dramatic as ever at Grey Sloan Memorial.

“One of the last things Lexie said was, ‘Tell Meredith that I love her. And that she’s a good sister’ and now she left Meredith with ‘The depths of grief you felt with all those losses is because of the depths of love.’ I just care deeply about the Grey sisters STILL,” tweeted Buzfeed writer Nora Dominick.

Not only were fans moved by the Grey sisters reunion, they also loved being reminded of the original Twisted Sisters: Meredith and Cristina. Sandra Oh’s cardio god hasn’t been on the show since she left at the end of season ten, but she was seen texting her ex-husband Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) and Meredith’s condition. “it’s about Cristina doing her job as Mer’s person,” tweeted one devoted fan.
