“Pretty Penny Killed My Husband”

Last week’s episode of Grey’s was an intense one. Penny, one of the doctor’s in charge of Derek after his accident and later died was at Meredith’s house for a dinner party. If the fact that she’s dating Callie one of Derek’s close friends wasn’t enough for everyone they later find out that Penny is going to be working a Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital under Meredith’s supervision. Before I get too ahead of myself I should add in that Meredith didn’t let anyone know who Penny really was until they were all sitting at the table ready to eat and everyone went on and on about how Penny seems like such a great person. Meredith couldn’t take it anymore so she eventually ended up blurting out “Pretty Penny Killed My Husband” and everyone got silent and looked at Meredith with shock. All of Derek’s friends and coworker’s including his Sister who was sitting right next to Penny were all there. At first everyone is kind of silent, Meredith get up and goes to her room with Alex following her and Amelia gets up from the table too a little later. She went up to Meredith’s room crying asking how could she do this to her, she should have told her, she kept it from her the whole night and let her hug Penny the woman who killed her brother. She went on and Meredith looked at her and said “I did this to you? I lost my husband and father to my kids and you’re falling apart?!? I don’t get to do that because I have 3 kids!! So please shut up and get out of my room!!! Get her out of here before I kill her!!!” While all this was going on Callie is struggling with how she’s feeling too. She’s angry not just with the obvious fact that the person she’s dating just so happens to be the girl that is partly to blame for Derek’s death but also with the fact that Penny never told her that and also with the fact that she can’t turn her feelings off that she’s developed for Penny. When everyone leaves and Meredith comes down stairs she didn’t realize Penny was still there before Meredith can say anything Penny apologizes again and says she’s leaving and tells Meredith not to worry that she won’t be taking the job at the hospital she’ll asked to be transferred somewhere else. What no one could expect was that Meredith’s response to the whole thing was “Be there on Monday and don’t be late.” as she’s walking up the stairs. As far as the preview goes it looks like Meredith isn’t going to make Penny’s new job under her supervision at all easy.
