Hey! I’m definitely not worth stalking anymore cause PS is still installed but covered in cobwebs. If there’s actual demand I can probably pitch in for the fandom and help out when I have the time.
Lepherd/Amelink -
Yes, I’ve already seen 15x17. I can’t remember the last time I’ve enjoyed Amelia’s character since her PP days. Her character has been tied to Owen for 4 seasons and it’s apparent he’s weighing down on her. She’s no where near as fun when she’s with him and even though I never fully loved her, she’s at her best when she’s away from him, for which I’m glad. I was dying to love Amelia this season, they’re finally giving her some progress and Owen did nothing but shit all over said progress, Her best episodes this season were Owen-less and it SHOWS. As for her and Link… hot damn. The chemistry is oooooooozing off of them, like holy shit it ended up exceeding my expectations. Knowing Grey’s, the second a character tells another things will be casual, it never is. It always ends up evolving into a full blown relationship, so I’m hoping that’s the case here as well. I think they’ll work together (like Batman and… Batman!) on alternative pain relief methods. They already bonded over this topic, so hopefully that’ll continue and while Amelia’s clearly not ready to date seriously as of yet, it’ll happen in the future and she’ll be open to the option. Finally, these two had a fight, apologized to one another then proceeded to have hawt sex - all that in 5 minutes. Would have taken Omelia 5 episodes to get there since they just can’t communicate and therefore can never work. I like happy Amelia, keep it coming!
As for Owen and Teddy - not much to say tbh. Maybe cause most of us predicted every single thing that’s happened since 15x09 and my excitement kinda wore off, but the episode was everything that I’ve hoped for. They’re taking it slowly, getting Owen more involved in the pregnancy (thank god, where were you like 5 episodes ago?!) He’s always been her rock, a shoulder to cry on, the only constant thing in her life and they’re going back to that, to the roots of their friendship and relationship as a whole. Tom walking in on that hug was a setup for next week, or as I’ve already written on reddit -
“They’re slowly paving a way for Towen to end up together by forming a new triangle - this time around Teddy in which she gets to choose. Tom will get caught in the crossfire, it’s inevitable. That scene set things up for next week’s Owen vs. Tom debacle. He knows full well what he’s up against, Amelia has repeatedly told him about their history and Teddy also kinda did in her speech to him before their first kiss. If he’s alarmed because of that hug, he has every right to be. Especially now that Omelia are seemingly done.“
I suspect Teddy will end up moving in with Owen for bedrest purposes and things will move along from there. Tom won’t take this well and unfortunately, he’ll end up heart-broken and I wish it wasn’t so cause I really do like him and Toddy as a whole. He treats her like a princess and I love mah women smiling! This episode did kickstart Owen’s redemption though, or as Kevin put it - “soul searching”. Time for him to make amends, apologize and be present for his baby girl and baby mama. I hope he’ll also apologize to Amelia for all the shit he put her through. He should be single for as long as needed til he figures his shit out. Megan should speed things up in 15x20 and hopefully the baby will be born by then, and per Meredith - “everything’s going to change once the baby comes”
