'Grey's Anatomy' Fans Excitedly Tweet About the Show's Return After Hiatus
Hayes Leaves
Fans were decidedly unhappy that Hayes was leaving. Cristina (Sandra Oh) sends him to Meredith as a gift, and then they don't even get together? Blasphemy. However, his exit did make some fans hope for the return of those who had already left Grey Sloan. "HAYES IS LEAVING?? does that mean another Peds surgeon??? Alex Karev??! Arizona Robbins????" tweeted one speculator.

Owen Survives
Fans were also annoyed that Hunt lived to manipulate another day. While they were happy that Teddy (Kim Raver) didn't lose another husband, no one is particularly pleased to see the ginger trauma surgeon.

No Fans of Nick
While Meredith Is clearly happy in her relationship with Nick, fans still aren't coming around to the Felicity alum. After the reaffirmation of her love for Derek (Patrick Dempsey) even in death last season, anyone was going to face an uphill battle.

Do Viewers Even Like This Show?
Linc also drew the fandom's ire in this episode, between his confrontation with Amelia and his kiss with Jo. Messy, messy, messy.

The Silver Lining
However, the saving grace of the episode was the progression In Amelia's relationship with Kai (E.R. Fightmaster). This sort of couple has truly become a fan favorite.
