Season 17 of Grey’s Anatomy will be a strangely retraumatizing experience!

The season finale of the popular TV show that fast-forwarded through eight months of the pandemic, from July 2020 to present-day April 2021, and the major life events for the Grey Sloan Memorial doctors over that period, including two attempts at a Maggie-Winston wedding, one Owen-Teddy proposal and adoption for Jo who became Luna’s mom. Also one of the finale’s biggest twists might just be all about a new love interest.

Season 17, which showrunner Krista Vernoff and Pompeo as dedicated health care professionals, was set a few months in the past as Grey shares the harsh truth of how the novel coronavirus pandemic impacted frontline employees. Pompeo spent the bulk of the pandemic-shortened 17-episode season filming scenes from a hospital bed — where Meredith was on a vent after contracting COVID-19, and visiting loved ones from her past on the beach as she fought for her life.
