SEASON 10 EPISODE 1: SEAL OUR FATE
BY LAUREN & CAITLIN


Ross finally goes down to Webber’s lair (the basement) to investigate, then in a bizarre twist of editing he magically appears back in the ER with Webber and Mousey trailing behind, both on gurneys and no explanation as to how this occurred.
Arizona and Callie have to bite the bullet and operate together, but for some reason Arizona doesn’t seem to be particularly apologetic and is acting pretty pissed off herself, even managing to throw in an eye roll or two.
Back at Headquarters, A.K.A Meredith’s hospital suite, baby Bailey is offered up to Alex as a stress ball (This was a smart move, as babies have always been like little Karev whisperers).
Bailey and Yang make an awesome, if at times potentially explosive team in this episode (They will now and forever be known as Team Bang!). After the two complete their first procedure on Webber, they share the sweetest and most awkward moment, as Bailey insists on Yang hugging her, despite knowing that affection isn’t exactly Christina’s favourite pastime.
Pretty soon things turn sour though, with Webber’s situation becoming more critical, leading to horns clashing from either side of Team Bang. This scene culminates with Yang announcing “I own this hospital, you work for me” (Oh no you didn’t!).
Next we see Derek and Ross prepping for Mousey’s surgery, just one of the many examples in this show where it’s somehow acceptable for people to perform surgery on their friends, even in the most emotionally charged circumstances.
Speaking of which, Bailey’s stress over the Webber situation seems to be intensifying, as she yells at Christina for calling Owen…well, Owen. “It’s Dr Hunt”! Oh, and keeping it all in the surgical family, it turns out Meredith is Webber’s Medical Power of Attorney. And back to headquarters we go, for a game of Bang word tennis across Meredith’s bed, where Yang accuses Bailey of acting like Webber’s family, and Meredith looks pretty upset that she’s supposed to.
Remember when we spoke of the mysterious Sharpie Saviour and The Woman Who Won’t Stop Asking About Her House? Well, it turns out they are one and the same (Badass Sharpie Lady).
Callie’s day is getting progressively worse, with her emotional awakening to the fact that she doesn’t dance in her underwear anymore (It breaks our heart too Callie). Her reminiscing of the good old Chief Webber days is interrupted with the stampede that is Team Bang, followed closely behind by Owen- sorry- Dr Hunt, who bring the news that Bailey’s wish to operate on
Webber has won out, as Meredith’s effective statistical coin toss made it so (1 nil to Bailey).
As the episode draws to a close, Webber’s voiceover washes over us like the last remnants of the storm. We see an already grieving widow arrive to see her husband’s body (we kind of forgot to mention that guy. There was a guy. He died. Alas.), and Webber reminds us of our own mortality. Just another cheery day at Grey Sloan Memorial. It is named after two dead people, after all.
