GREY’S ANATOMY – “Nothing Left to Cling To” – (ABC/Kelsey McNeal)JUSTIN CHAMBERS, JAMES PICKENS JR. /

The first half of Grey’s Anatomy Season 16 is in the books. Here’s a look at the season’s biggest takeaways so far.

If you haven’t caught up to Grey’s Anatomy Season 16, Episode 9, “Let’s All Go to the Bar,” then I highly suggest watching it on Hulu or ABC before you check out this list!

Over the last nine weeks, we’ve watched our beloved doctors struggle with unemployment, surprise pregnancies, jail time, break ups, more love triangles, losing loved ones, losing patients (also patience with each other), and everything in between. Par for the course after sixteen seasons, right?

Through the struggle and heartbreak, there have been several shining moments where our favorites were able to overcome their latest adversity and make us proud.

#5 – Karev does things his way

After being fired from Grey Sloan in the Season 15 finale, Alex Karev packed his bags and took his talents to Pacific Northwest General Hospital (Pac North), where he would become Chief of Staff right away. Pac North is the lowest-ranked hospital in Seattle, leading many to question why someone of Karev’s caliber would bother seeking employment there.

Once Pac North became “his” hospital, Alex quickly saw it as an opportunity to do things his way One of his first orders of business was to recruit Richard Webber as an attending general surgeon and director of the residency program. The problems these two-faced from dealing with patient mix-ups to incompetent staff to finding dead bodies buried under the hospital when investors were visiting provided us with many laughs while the seasoned docs figured out how to essentially start their careers over.

As we saw in Episode 4, “It’s Raining Men,” Owen Hunt jumped ship as well and took up the position of Head of Trauma after Tom Koracick caused one too many headaches for him at Grey Sloan. Without a doubt it’s been interesting to watch certain doctors float back and forth between the hospitals, but I’m sure we’re all curious when, or if, Karev, Webber and Hunt will be back to work at “home” with everyone else.

Perhaps another merger of some sort is in the future? Better yet, the drama could be turned up a notch with more Grey Sloan docs jumping ship. Either way, I’m proud of Alex’s character arc over the years. There’s almost no way we would’ve seen the “old Alex” want to go work for arguably the worst hospital in Seattle.
