When she tells Zola she's extraordinary when we all remember her mom telling her she was ordinary 🥺😭

[kamelia]

Ellis to Meredith : you're nothing more than ordinary
Meredith to Zola : you will always be extraordinary
Motherhood can heal you inner child ❤️

[lynnramadan]

Mer is being the mother she needed when she was a child, in a way she is healing her inner child . This is so wholesome . Zola is a gem!!! “Uncle jackson “😭😭

[christinaz.]

The way Meredith said immediately "that's OK" when Zola expressed second thoughts... now that's a good mother. Derek would be beyond proud of both (+ Bailey and Ellis)

This is how you break generational curses/cycles. "Let me worry about that. That's my job." broke me. I spent so much of my life parenting my parents. I grew up thinking it was up to me to sacrifice and fix things for them. Gorgeous writing.

"YOU WILL ALWAYS BE EXTRAORDINARY" Something Mer never heard from her mom.

[WLPT]

I like how Meredith refers to all her friends as uncle or aunt in front of her kids and they call them that it’s so cute ☺️

[noreng]

I love how they mention Zola possibly NOT being a doctor. Not all doctors kids want to study medicine. I'd hate if they turned all the Grey's kids into doctors, that would be major cliche

[machodgdon]

Meredith has really become the mother she always wanted her own mom to be. She just wanted her mom to think of her as extraordinary, and now she gets to remind her children everyday how amazing they are

[marsincharge]

Mer saying everything to Zola is exactly what she needed to hear from Ellis but never got as a child. It came full circle. I love it! ❤️

[trcykaufman]

Also love that Meredith wouldn’t leave Seattle for herself …but did it in a heartbeat for Zola.

[mmichy]

Love the way they are aiming for Meredith’s exit. Although sad, seeing her thrive as a mom, making decisions that’s best for her family, Derek’s nephew at Seattle Grace blooming into a mini Derek…it’s the gentlest way to let her go ❤

[jasminelaurenelisabeth]

God I haven’t cried like that since I found out Lexie was on the beach. It seems like such an amazing move for Meredith and those kids deserve everything x

[allibush]

The fact that she calls Zola extraordinary and her mom told her she was nothing but ordinary is everything😭🥰

[baileyarnett]

This definitely is Meredith’s last season. You can feel it that her time on the show is almost over. I just hope the show ends with her and not without her

[penquin]

Part of me doesn't want her to leave Seattle but the other part of me wants her to do what's best for Zola. When she told Zola that they would look for schools outside of Seattle, I thought she meant somewhere else in Washington not in Boston. I'm happy that Zola is going to school where she won't have anxiety attacks anymore.

[karajohnson]

I’m happy Meredith is moving on!!
Also, “Uncle Jackson”..so cute 😭

[MM-oubv]

How refreshing is this storyline! Though heartbreaking in many ways, I love exploring Meredith as a mother and always felt that this was so much more interesting than the love interests after Derek. It’s has a grounded-ness that has been missing since the early seasons.

[DavidGarcia-qlqg]

After 19 season and 17 years Meredith is finally doing what she wants and what’s best for her kids and finally moving 😄😭

[JadedGemy]

I choked up when Meredith told Zola she always has and will always be extraordinary, look at you breaking the generational trauma Meredith Grey!
