‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Will Meredith Leave Seattle in the Season 18 Finale?
Finale
It’s apt for the Season 18 finale to center on a dangerous blood shortage at Grey Sloan Memorial. After all, “the lifeblood” of the drama, Grey’s Anatomy showrunner Krista Vernoff says, is “Meredith and Bailey and Richard and Owen,” veteran surgeons who all face career-shifting decisions.
In the second of two episodes—the series’ 400th—Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) wants to make sure the faltering residency program is on solid footing before moving to Minnesota to join boyfriend Nick (Scott Speedman) and take that prestigious Parkinson’s research position. But first she’s on a case made riskier by the blood shortage. It all leads to a cliffhanger about her future.
The program’s undecided fate also brings stress to Bailey (Chandra Wilson) and to Webber (James Pickens Jr.), whose failed teaching method kicked off its decline. Their struggles “come to a surprising conclusion,” per Vernoff. Meanwhile, Owen (Kevin McKidd) has the most to lose: His assistance with a dying veteran’s suicide could mean prison time.
Plus, docs/exes/parents Jackson (Jesse Williams) and April (Sarah Drew) pay a visit. Overall, Vernoff suggests viewers ready “wine, popcorn and a tissue box.” A perfect prescription.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease a year ago at the age of 67. For several months I had noticed tremors in my right hand and the shaking of my right foot when I was sitting. My normally beautiful cursive writing was now small cramped printing. And I tended to lose my balance. Neurologist had me walk down the hall and said I didn't swing my right arm. I had never noticed! I was in denial for a while as there is no history in my family of parents and five older siblings, but I had to accept I had classic symptoms. I was taking amantadine and carbidopa/levodopa and was about to start physical therapy to strengthen muscles. Finally, I was introduced to Kycuyu Health Clinic and their effective Parkinson’s herbal protocol. This protocol relieved symptoms significantly, even better than the medications I was given. After First month on treatment, my tremors mysterious stopped, had improvement walking. After I completed the treatment, all symptoms were gone. I live a more productive life. I was fortunate to have the loving support of my husband and family. I make it a point to appreciate every day!
