Summary
Grey’s Anatomyseason 20 left things uncertain for many major characters in the season finale, which is why I am glad that season 21 will offer an immediate resolution. TheGrey’s Anatomyseason 20 finale revealed mass firings at Grey Sloan Memorial, all at the hands of Catherine, the head of the Fox Foundation. The finale also revealed major storylines like the existence of Kwan’s ex-fiance and Jo’s pregnancy, both of which will need to be directly discussed shortly after the season 21 premiere.
Grey’s Anatomyis known for creating dramatic season finales and has shown multiple times thatno character is ever safe at Grey Sloanand the mass firings just proved that once again. The new season will have a lot to explain and seeing thatEllen Pompeo’s Meredith Greywill be returning in season 21, the tension in Grey Sloan is sure to be palpable. The tense drama makes me both excited and nervous about the season 21 premiere, and also confident thatGrey’s Anatomyseason 21won’t be a cop-out.
Why Sandra Oh Really Left Grey’s Anatomy
After ten years and seasons of playing Dr. Cristina Yang, Sandra Oh left Grey’s Anatomy in 2014. Let’s break down why this happened.
Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 Picks Up Not Long After The Season 20 Finale
Season 21 Will Show The Fallout From Season 20
The best part about the upcoming season 21 premiere is that it occurs shortly after theGrey’s Anatomyseason 20 finale, which meanswe are going to see the fallout from the season 20 finale. While the most promising part of the season will be seeing the results of the mass firings, I am looking forward to seeing the romantic developments from season 20 expand into season 21. The season finale particularly introduced Beltran and Ndugu as a couple and showed Meredith making a grand gesture to Nick, saying she has put an offer on the Chestnut Hill house in Boston.
The season will also have to show the fallout of the doctors, and potentially the interns, at Grey Sloan losing their jobs.Catherine became the dedicated villain in season 20and whether there is any way for her to redeem herself will only be revealed in the upcoming season. While season 21 will make some changes to theGrey’s Anatomycast, most actors are set to return in what is sure to be a dramatic season.
How Grey’s Anatomy Season 21 Can Fix Its Complicated Grey Sloan’s Situation
Catherine’s Pride is Grey Sloan’s Worst Enemy
While Catherine’s power trip will be difficult to fix, it is possible. Recent seasons have revealed that Catherine’s cancer is progressing, and it is possible that she will not be able to run the Fox Foundation on her own if the cancer progresses much more. The latest season also hinted at Richard’s ongoing plans for retirement. If Richard retires in season 21, it does open up the possibility for him to take over Catherine’s role in the Fox Foundation, since he is already the Chief Medical Officer of the Foundation. I thinkCatherine’s replacement might be Grey Sloan’s best bet.

Pride is one of Catherine’s strongest qualities, and unfortunately, I do not think the Grey Sloan situation can be fixed while Catherine holds her powerful position. The only other way that Grey Sloan can recover is if Catherine is fired from her position. But seeing asthe Fox Foundation owns over 50% of Grey Sloan, there will need to be some powerful deal to remove her without a fight. Either way, I think it is best to remember that Grey Sloan has always come out on top inGrey’s Anatomy, even after season disasters.
