‘Grey’s Anatomy’ season 12, episode 16 reaction: What happened with Meredith, Will?

Thursday night’s new episode of “Grey’s Anatomy” brought us a few interesting developments, but for the sake of this article we want to focus specifically on how a blanket could end up being such a dramatic game-changer for Meredith’s love life.

At first, it looked as though she was ready to move forward with Will, but through seeing an old memento of Derek’s, she realized that she was not quite ready to move forward with the relationship. Ultimately, this could not have been handled more perfectly. She didn’t rush into a relationship after her husband’s death, and when she finally did find someone, she still realized she needed more time and it happened organically. She was honest with Will, and he was honest with her that she was worth waiting for.

As for where we think the show could go moving forward, that’s a little bit of a mystery at the moment, but one we are rather excited to see where this goes. We wouldn’t quite say that this was a game-changing episode in the slightest when it comes to the storylines that are already in gear, but we do think that at some point down the road, it could evolve and become something so much more emotional and shocking. We’re looking forward to being on this particular carousel for a little while longer.

One final note: Wasn’t it nice to see Maggie, Amelia, and Meredith all seemingly content being around one another again? They’ve all certainly been through quite a bit as of late.
