Okay, maybe it isntthatdire, but it is an unwelcome surprise.

Now begins the agony of wondering just how these characters will be written off.
Obviously, the best-case scenario for my #Japril-loving heart is a Doug Ross/Carol Hathaway fromERsort of situation.
But I cant see April leaving Harriet and I cant see Jackson letting Harriet go, even temporarily.
Will it happen just as she and Jackson reunite?
Apologies, you came here for a recap.
But the pain is still raw!
I am honestly worried that Aprils current shame spiral is going to end very badly.
(Ask around, that is pretty bad.)
She is yelling about elevator capacity and unruly rugby men goofing off in the ER.
She is yelling about rules, people.
I love this show!
Can we talk about how great DeLuca is?
Sam not so much, but DeLuca, yes.
April is dismissed for the day.
She goes home to chug a bottle of liquor and …
I dont know, look at pictures of baby farm animals to remind her of her roots or something.
Meanwhile, Maggie is planning a game night as a ruse for a Sister Panel.
Whats a Sister Panel, you ask?
But there is a minor issue: Jackson Avery.
Sarah may only have one ear at the moment, but she claims to have a well-tuned vibe-o-meter.
I think Sarah is the only person on the planet who senses these vibes.
Who is into this pairing?
Maggie and Jackson flirt over surgery, both trying to play up how into their significant others they are.
(Yes, Jackson is still dating Priya the human-rights lawyer.)
But it gets evenmoreawkward when April arrives.
She is seemingly buzzed and also packing her own bottle of alcohol.
Then Tom Koracick shows up.
(Amelia, whos busy off having sex with Owen [not a typo] invited him.)
Sister Panel is a bust, so Maggie tries to make the best of game night.
They attempt to have fun, but things get weird.
April grows more and more heated as fewer and fewer people follow the rules of the games.
Eventually, she has the aforementioned life is meaningless freak-out.
YOU GUYS, IT GETS EVEN WORSE.
Game night cant really survive that bomb, so everyone shuffles out.
Since April is too drunk to drive, Koracick offers to drive her home.
Only April and Koracick are pleased with that turn of events.
He broke up with Priya.
He doesnt care if its complicated, he wants to be with Maggie.They kiss.
This is really happening, people.
And now, with Aprils imminent departure, who knows how this whole thing will shake out?
Remember that Spanish (and not at all Italian, sorry!)
Yeah, well, hes dead.
And now, his daughter is on her way to hear about Merediths proposal.
In a mouse, at least.
Ellis Greys one-time best friend!
So Meredith brings in the big guns the mouse.
It is a game-changer and the polymer is the key.
Marie is onboard and heads out with the promise to get all the paperwork together the next day.
As Marie leaves, Webber catches sight of her and stops Meredith.
What is Marie Cerone, enemy of Ellis Grey doing at Grey Sloan?
According to Webber, Marie and Ellis had a huge falling out and Marie loathed Ellis.
Did Meredith just get played?
What a twist on this polymer-patent story line!
I mean, sure, what are the odds?
But honestly, any excuse to go digging around in Elliss journals is a welcome one.
Its a serious subject, but those two just get cuter and cuter together.
Is tumorless Amelia really funny?
What a strange new world were living in.
The shared experience of surviving parents who were drug addicts?
They are really setting up the impending weepfest.
