There’s only one way out for Amelia Shepherd this Grey’s Anatomy season finale

BBG News

In the sneak peek for the final episode of season 21 on Grey’s Anatomy, we find out that Amelia Shepherd, Lucas Adams, and some others will be taken hostage in an intense episode this week. Dylan’s mother is so enraged and desperate that she endangers everyone, even her own daughter. The show seems to be hinting that one or several of the individuals in the operating room may not survive… with Amelia being strongly suspected as a possible casualty.

There’s a strong chance that this upcoming episode or Season 22 premiere could feature a significant character’s death, marking a return to the dramatic cliffhangers we used to love. Recently, Grey’s Anatomy has opted for less conventional methods to bid farewell to characters, which was refreshing at first. However, as fans, we’re craving the intense medical drama that classic soap operas are known for. Perhaps it’s high time for such a plot twist.

Despite my deep affection for Amelia, I can’t help but feel that her character could use a change at this stage in the story. It’s not that I wish her death, but a new direction – either alive or dead – wouldn’t be unexpected given her recent development in the series. The writers seem to have struggled with her role in the last few seasons. Bringing her back together with Addison was a delight, and watching them nurture a healthy, promising relationship that highlighted her best qualities was terrific… until their split. Lately, she’s mainly functioned as Meredith’s Alzheimer’s research partner and a device for brain surgeries or reminding us of Derek’s existence.

If Amelia manages to pull through – which seems likely – let’s try to avoid another recurrence of her struggle with addiction as a plotline. While it’s essential to portray various trauma responses, particularly in individuals grappling with addiction, we’ve seen this storyline play out multiple times with her character. Frankly, I’m concerned that they might rehash the same narrative elements and make it engaging again. If they decide to tackle this subject once more, I would be open to giving them a chance, but personally, I don’t think it’s necessary or appealing. Many others feel the same way.

It seems plausible that this could be the plot development leading her departure from the show, either temporarily or permanently, with a reduced role similar to Meredith’s, or it might be permanent. I can’t think of another way her character can develop further at this stage. Perhaps being nearer to Meredith and her family would benefit her character. This could be the most promising direction for her storyline moving forward.

As a movie enthusiast, I find that “Grey’s” often surprises me by taking unexpected turns, or surprisingly following the path I expect. Regardless, I always eagerly anticipate discovering where this series will lead us in its latest season.
