Amelia Shepherd, Owen Hunt and Teddy Altman

Amelia and Owen welcome Megan back. However, Megan quickly notices they have a serious problem. Teddy returns to check on Hunt because she knew he would need support. She goes to as far as confronting Amelia for not giving Owen some support at this crucial time. Pissed, Amelia tells Owen he could have Teddy if he wants her. Later, Owen kisses Teddy. However, she reminds him that guilt over cheating would just ruin him. Fans of Sandra Oh’s Cristina Yang are reminded of Owen’s infidelity.

Alex Karev, Jo Wilson and Andrew DeLuca

Alex entrusts a major pediatric surgery in Jo’s hands. Then Jo totally friendzones DeLuca, telling him she is still in-love with Alex. She winds up sleeping with a sub-intern who nearly botched her surgery earlier in the day. Alex mocks her for it the next day, in the friendliest way possible. Mer advises Karev, telling him to let Jo know he hired a guy to find her husband. Ben, the new Stephanie in Jo’s life, knocks some sense into Karev’s head. He makes Karev understand that Jo is afraid he would also hurt her the way her husband did. Later, Karev follows Mer’s advice. Then just like that, Jolex are back together.

April Kepner, Jackson Avery and Maggie Pierce

Maggie tells Jackson what April told her in the thirteenth season finale of “Grey’s Anatomy.” Jackson appears unsure, even more confused than Maggie, about April’s theory. Later, April confesses that their casual sex in Montana hurts her. Also, she and their baby are leaving his apartment. Avery does not get to react. Japril fans have to wait until Episode 3 to hear his thoughts on April’s confession. For her part, it does not seem that Maggie would get hurt if Japril reconciles.
“Grey’s Anatomy” Season 14 is not about to look or feel lighter. There are already four love triangles in the premiere alone. Jo’s husband will show up soon enough. Arizona quickly gets over Minnick, thanks to Carina. However, there is no guarantee that all shall be well for Callie’s ex-wife surgeon. Meanwhile, Ben is talking about the rush he got from joining a firefighter’s mission, and actor Jason George is expected to join a spinoff series. This means drama for Bailey, too. So, if the two-hour premiere’s goal was to plant fear and anxiety in the minds of its fans, then, bravo. Mission accomplished.
“Break Down the House” was written by Krista Vernoff and directed by Debbie Allen, who also plays Catherine Avery. “Get off on the Pain” was written by Krista Vernoff and directed by Kevin McKidd, aka Owen Hunt.
Next week, Amelia tries to keep her secret. Also, Chelcie Ross returns as Harper Avery, Jackson’s grandfather. Grey 14×3 is titled “Go Big Or Go Home.”
