Meredith threw a dinner party on Grey’s Anatomy Season 12 Episode 5 that was very hard for her to stomach.
That’s what happens when your good friend’s new girlfriend is the doctor whose poor decision cost your husband his life.
Indeed, we opened this hour with Meredith shocked beyond belief that Penny is actually in her home.
Alex could see that his pal was smiling as if she were in a “hostage video or something,” but Arizona could not read Penny’s mood nearly as well. She responded to her girlfriend’s anxiety by introducing her to a buzzed Arizona.
Maggie, meanwhile, arrived late to the party due to some naked time with Andrew. She hadn’t had time to cook… and then she didn’t have time to start cooking because she had to run back to the hospital to get tests for a “raging UTI.”
OUCH!
Enter April as chef, in order to avoid Jackson. Meanwhile, Stephanie refused to make nice with Jo, while Callie was called back to work, yet insisted Penny stay and have “fun” with Meredith.
Penny failed to successfully make small talk with Meredith, but then everyone sat down to eat… Bailey realized that Penny was Grey Sloan’s newest resident transfer… and Meredith could no longer keep it in.
“Perfect Penny killed my husband,” she announced to the table.
That’s sure to ruin almost any party.
After Amelia confronted Meredith for not revealing Penny’s identity to her earlier and these two had a fight, Amelia and Owen bonded while Stephanie finally accepted Jo’s apology (only to later take it back).
Finally, Callie told Jackson that she didn’t know how to turn off her feelings for Penny, to which Jackson said he’s not sure if one can turn off feelings. Hey, good news for April!
From there, after accidentally bumping into Meredith on her way out, Penny said he was going to “file a request to be rematched with another program, and you will never have to see me again.”
However, she added: “I didn’t forget about [Derek]. I never will.”
In response, Mer said, “I’ll see you Monday. Don’t be late.”
And that’s where we’ll pick up on November 5 on Grey’s Anatomy Season 12 Episode 5. Here’s a look ahead:
