Am I the only person whos super into this Marie Cerone story line?
To those who thought Meredith wouldnt work without Derek, get out of my OR right now.
According to the journals, Ellis and Marie were … well, they were basically Meredith and Cristina.
There were tequila nights and deepest darkest secrets.
So when Marie shows up back at the hospital, Meredith confronts her.
Is she trying to sabotage Merediths possible game-changing medical breakthrough just to get back at Ellis?
Marie assures Meredith that she isnt here to sabotage shes just here to get whats hers.
Marie felt so betrayed that she moved back to Spain and never returned.
Now, she is holding her polymer patent hostage.
She understands Maries anger, but this is just not something she can bring herself to do.
Marie isnt going to budge.
She has the polymer and now she has Merediths science.
Any mini-liver breakthrough will be known as the Cerone Method.
Obviously, well be revisiting this whole polymer situation at a later date.
At the moment, however, there are more pressing issues to discuss.
Charlie doesnt want the transplant.
Alex echoes all of us when hes like,Uh, dude, love doesnt work that way.
Now Charlie will take the transplant after all.
He doesnt care if they cut his heart out.
IT IS USELESS NOW.
Teen drama is the best drama.
Most are appropriately tragic, except for Maggies, which is appropriately hilarious.
Her first love is Steve and she falls for him over a cadaver named Leonard.
So, it does not have the intended effect.
In Alexs flashback, we finally meet his mother.
Its a big deal!
Alex has to calm his mother down and he is, as expected, so good at it.
Alex is better off without her.
In 2003, Jo is in high school and living in her car.
A classmate, Chris, helps her out of a sticky situation and the two fall in love.
He is kind and generous and wants a future with Jo.
As he is headed off to college, he asks Jo to move in with him.
Jo is broken inside!
Speaking of broken, Alex and Jo are having some troubles.
Alex finds Jos applications to fellowship programs all over the country.
Hes upset because he doesnt want to derail her career, but he also doesnt want to lose her.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Am I a monster?
Dont fret: Charlie makes it through the second surgery and wakes up just fine.
Better than fine, really.
and all is right in the world once more.
Jo is inspired by the grand gesture of love.
Alex comes home that night to find their apartment filled with candles.
Jo pours her heart out to Alex.
Shes spent her life running, but he is her home.
She doesnt want to go anywhere without him.
Alex searches for that pesky old engagement ring, but cant find it because Jo is wearing it!
Then she proposes and Alex says yes.
Actually, he says hell yes because this is Alex.
This episode is so romantic!
Well, except for April.
She and Tom are recovering from their night together, which apparently was pretty great.
Or the one who lives in a very well-organized house with her 2-year-old.
He plays a guessing game as to what happened to her and lands on crisis of faith.
They continue to talk until Tom reveals that hes also had his own.
He lost his 10-year-old son in a freak accident and got in a huge fight with God.
April is surprised that Tom is an actual person and that he has some real insights into her life.
Of course, before she allows herself to open up to him, she distracts him with more sex.
Thankfully, Jackson gets a glimpse of Aprils weird Tom Koracick bender.
He must see that April is spiraling.
Help your baby mama, Jackson!

Is grood the new gruel?
The respect is short-lived because then they go and talk about how they are undone by each other.
Quick update: Amelia and Owen are having lots of ex-sex and loving every minute of it.
A round of applause for the casting department!
The young versions of Alex, Jo, and Maggie are great.
When young Alex goes to that party, TLCs Aint 2 Proud 2 Beg is playing.
