The doctors and surgeons are in – again – for everyone’s favorite medical drama from Shonda Rhimes, Grey’s Anatomy. The show that brought us McDreamy and McSteamy is back in McSession for Season 19, with more romance, more tears, and more interns. So pick me, choose me (aka this article) to find out more about how many episodes there will be in this season.
Grey’s Anatomy follows the lives of several doctors and surgeons at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital in Seattle. Season 19 premiered with a bang as the residency program returned with new interns, one of whom, in classic Grey’s fashion, may have already slept with an attending surgeon. On their first day, they were thrown into the daily chaos of the hospital as they attend to tornado-related injuries. Meanwhile, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), now the interim chief of surgery since Bailey (Chandra Wilson) has chosen not to return, must grapple with seeing Nick (Scott Speedman) again since telling him to go back to Minnesota, and Jo (Camilla Ludington) received disappointing news from Levi (Jake Borelli). Episode 2 promises more screen time for the interns as they work with the surgeons to solve a food poisoning medical mystery.
