A Look At Grey's Anatomy Season 13

On September 22, 2016, the 13th season of Grey's Anatomy aired. A show lasting 13 seasons is crazy enough, but still having 4 of its main characters is even crazier. This season promises to focus on those four main characters that are left: Richard Webber, Miranda Bailey, Alex Karen, and of course, Meredith Grey.

Last season, we left Alex Karen under the impression that Andrew DeLuca was trying to take advantage of his drunk girlfriend, Jo Wilson in their apartment. His temper got the best of him and fans last saw Alex beating DeLuca with what looked like no intention of stopping. Meredith was stuck in a love triangle with her sister, Maggie and the new attending, Riggs. The only problem is...only Meredith knew about Maggie's feelings toward Riggs and Riggs' feelings toward Meredith herself. We knew she had a tough choice to make during this season opening. Bailey was struggling with her rogue husband, Ben, after he had been put on probation.

The episode that aired this past Thursday, "Undo" opened with DeLuca being unloaded from an ambulance and there being a mystery surrounding who beat him that badly. Well, it was a mystery to everyone, but Meredith, Alex, Jo, and DeLuca. The cops are looking for Alex, who had come in with Andrew on the ambulance.

In the midst of the craziness, Bailey gives medical privileges back to her husband who we had last seen performing an emergency c-section of April in Meredith's house before the wedding. Webber was attempting to console Jo, who had woke up completely disoriented. He tried to use his knowledge from being an ex-alcoholic to promise her that things were going to be okay. However, Richard did not know about the entirety of the situation.

We see Meredith, as usual, having too much on her plate. She is Maggie's sounding board as she rambles on about her ex-boyfriend, DeLucs and her new love interest, Riggs'. She is tiptoeing around Riggs, himself, trying to decide how to handle that situation. Of course, she is stuck in the middle of Alex's situation as one of the only people who know what really happened. That is where Meredith's real dilemma lies. Does she cover for her best friend or does she rat him out? There was that constant back and forth between siding with the person Alex used to be or with the person he had become.

The episode wraps with Riggs' coming to Meredith's door, despite Maggie being inside. It is then that Meredith makes the decision to back out of the love triangle. She tells Riggs that she just does not feel the same way about him that he does about her. However, the situation felt like it was left open, so I am sure we have not seen the last of the Meredith and Riggs relationship.

Meredith then went to visit Alex in jail after he turned himself into the police and was escorted out of the hospital in handcuffs. He was rambling on about 15-20 years in prison and about not being a surgeon, while Meredith was her calm self in the midst of crisis. She kept promising Alex that things were going to be okay, but the audience themselves are unconvinced. He did beat a man half to death, nearly ending a fellow doctors career. To top it all off, DeLuca is terrified of him, which will not go over well in a court of law.

The 13th season of Grey's Anatomy opened with a bang, proving that maybe just maybe they still have it. Of course, it does not top a mass shooting or the romantic relationship between Meredith and Derek, but it was good nonetheless.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
