Thursday’s ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ episode revealed it’s not just Derek Shepherd hanging out in Meredith’s COVID dreams
“Grey’s Anatomy” is fighting the coronavirus with nostalgia and that course of treatment is working on fans who were thrilled to see the return of another beloved “Grey’s” character on Thursday’s episode. Last night, T.R. Knight’s George O’Malley met Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) on a beach during her ongoing COVID-induced dreams. He is the second alum of the Shonda Rhimes-created ABC medical drama to pop up in Mer’s head as she battles the novel coronavirus, with the first having been her late husband Derek Shepherd (played by Patrick Dempsey). And fans might have been even more ecstatic to see Mer reunite with George — who died in the Season 5 finale after sacrificing himself to save a woman from being hit by a bus — than they were to see her back with McDreamy.
