'Grey's Anatomy': Meredith Gets Caught Between Alex & Riggs in 'Civil War'
"Grey's Anatomy" Season 13 finally has some semi-good news for Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo). ABC's scoop on Episode 15, "Civil War" sounds especially promising for fans who 1) want Meredith to get back in the hospital game after her suspension, and 2) want to see more of Meredith and Alex Karev (Justin Chambers). It's possible Mer and Alex may even get to work at the hospital at the same time again!
ABC just released details -- although not yet photos -- on "Civil War," and this time it doesn't sound like Eliza Minnick (Marika Dominiczyk) is the main focus of the war. Instead, there are multiple battlefronts, including a work (and love?) triangle between Meredith, Alex, and Nathan Riggs (Martin Henderson).
Here's ABC's tease for "Civil War," which airs Thursday, March 9:
"Richard, Jackson, April and Catherine tackle a grueling trauma case intensified by hospital politics. Amelia finally faces her feelings about Owen, and Meredith gets caught between Nathan and Alex over a patient."
Obvious question: Who gets to be Iron Man in this "Civil War"? On a slightly more serious note, it's good to see Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) might actually start talking to her own husband again. The rest of the episode sounds tense, but tense can be good (when it's not infuriating).
At this point, Episode 14 has yet to air. Here's the ABC synopsis for this Thursday's February 23 episode, called "Back Where You Belong":
"Alex returns to the hospital and discovers a lot has changed since he left. Meanwhile, Jo has to make a difficult decision on a case, and Arizona tries to distance herself from Eliza."
Here's that promo:Based on ABC's photos for this episode (including the shot above), it looks like Riggs and Maggie (Kelly McCreary) will be spending a lot of time together. Maybe they'll bond?
In case you're wondering about the week gap between Feb. 23's Episode 14 and March 9's Episode 15, it's because "When We Rise: The People Behind the Story" is airing from 8 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, March 2, before "When We Rise" airs from 9 to 11 p.m. There's no "Grey's" that week.
