Gray’s Anatomy Season 21 Episode 14 Spells Doom for Two Main Relationships

Critic’s Score: 3.6 / 5.0

3.6

What’s it in regards to the again half of this season of Gray’s Anatomy?

It lacks pizazz or actual pleasure, and whereas Gray’s Anatomy Season 21 Episode 14 wasn’t the worst providing the season has had, it was simply okay.

The mentorships and friendships are making strides, however the relationships? These are falling aside.

Maybe one of many hour’s points was the shortage of presence for a number of the sequence’ sturdy solid. Among the characters have been utilized in uncommon methods.

The strain between Teddy and Ben stays weird, and his makes an attempt to return to working towards medication have been very clumsy. It’s onerous to inform what’s working with him and what isn’t.

After which we largely had Lucas moping round for yet one more installment, and it’s a sucky place for him to be in proper now.

Don’t even get me began on no matter is occurring with Winston.

We are able to begin there. Jack’s case had entertaining moments, as seeing his leg all tousled like that was wild.

It was additionally weird to see Winston and Hyperlink develop into cool sufficient buddies to go to a ball recreation collectively. This dynamic between them feels out of nowhere, or they didn’t domesticate sufficient the place I remembered they have been even buddies.

Kwan spending the hour moping over Molly wasn’t nice since that whole storyline dragged down the season and was a waste for his character.

He even introduced it to the case with Jack, the place he didn’t appear to have some empathy for Jack’s devotion to touring till he discovered that he was spreading his brother’s ashes.

Finally, his VR peace providing was good sufficient, however they wasted his character, which is irritating.

Ultimately, he was amusing with Winston, being a complete nerd and getting on Winston’s nerves as they headed to the sport collectively.

Teddy’s case with Brandon was tragic. However whereas it sucked that he died, there wasn’t as a lot emotional funding within the case as one may usually get.

The icepick state of affairs was weird sufficient, and it was irritating that he was so caught up on this mysterious girl he fell in love with that he unthinkingly induced the icepick to puncture his coronary heart.

However I didn’t really feel a lot when he died, which was unlucky. And a lot for second possibilities, proper?

The case felt extra like a car to push Teddy over the sting as she noticed Brandon as representing her dying marriage.

This complete factor with Teddy and Owen is irritating. Nothing good may ever come from the 2 opening up their marriage.

After all, Teddy received upset that he slept with another person when she couldn’t deliver herself to do it. Naturally, she was extra distraught about this than he was.

I chuckled a bit when she requested if he even hesitated, and we all know the reality: he didn’t.

There may be nothing they will do to make this storyline something aside from an annoying time suck, and I don’t know what else to even say about it.

They appear so depressing collectively. If ever there was a time value rooting for this pairing, it’s onerous to search out the need to try this anymore. What a catastrophe.

Nevertheless, the first case of the hour was Bailey’s work with Chase, a man she hero-worshipped however who was something however heroic.

Simone, verging on a panic assault about having to see Chase once more, made me suppose that this arc can be much more vital than it was.

He was the person behind kicking her from her first program, and that’s tough sufficient on anybody (though she’s discovered a house for herself at GSM).

However as she opened as much as Jules, it sounded as if he was a health care provider with racial bias when it got here to a few of his sufferers and Simone, too, since he thought of her “aggressive” when she confronted him about his actions.

Nevertheless, later, he claimed that one cause he didn’t like her and removed her was that she was not assertive. Which is it, Sir?

They by no means delved a lot deeper into no matter points he could have had. As a substitute, it was floor stage, and he was a snake oil salesman of a health care provider who preyed on individuals’s hope after which deserted them, leaving them to die.

Bailey felt like a idiot when she discovered the reality, however how gullible she was when it got here to him was stunning.

Webber appeared to suspect his recreation nearly instantly.

It was irritating that Simone didn’t provoke a dialog with Bailey about any of this. This was notably upsetting as a result of Gabby and her mom appeared candy, and Simone wouldn’t need to jeopardize Gabby’s well being and well-being any additional.

She and Bailey have developed sufficient rapport that she may’ve been sincere along with her about her experiences. Bailey would’ve listened to Simone. It didn’t make any sense that she wasn’t forthcoming.

We may have prevented that complete ordeal within the OR if Simone had voiced her issues early on.

Unsurprisingly, Chase was an evil jerk and left Gabby on that desk to die, with Bailey having to determine what to do to save lots of her affected person. And since the surgical procedure is incomplete, it doesn’t jeopardize his research.

Bailey all the time is aware of she will rely on Webber, so it was good to see him and Lucas scrub in and for Bailey to get this win, primarily performing the identical surgical procedure and her personal methodology of what Chase was speculated to do.

And Simone stays a rising star as an intern.

Nevertheless, as she ascends, Lucas is struggling, and it’s regarding that nobody pays consideration or doesn’t make house for him with that.

He’s floundering, and all he retains getting from everybody else is dismissive reactions as they silence him or encourage him to prioritize one in all their points forward of his.

It seems like that is one other state of affairs the place his Neurodivergency is coming into play and his struggles with ADHD, however they don’t actually faucet into that sufficient to make it impactful.

As a substitute, now we have a tragic Lucas watching his friends sail previous him and stick with it with their careers. He lacks the emotional assist that he wants and deserves.

The ending was notably grating, as he couldn’t even share his thrilling information that Webber is speaking to Catherine and hoping to vary her thoughts, particularly after the pair bonded over grainy surgical tapes.

However the women dismissed him as if what was occurring in his life didn’t matter. That is infuriating, and it’ll possible wreck his and Simone’s relationship in the mean time.
