6. Meredith leaving after Derek died was 110% totally in character for her. She went a little dark & twisty and then she came back.

[schokosmartiekuchen]

Also it is confusing that Dr. Webber wanted to retire in the first season already and yet he is still working 16 years later... Adele already said in the 1. Season that he is way too old to work... so How old is he?!

Most important: What happend to Joe the bartender?

[tiffanymoral]

Plot Hole: Leah Murphy being rehired after making her redemption at another hospital, and then just suddenly never showing up again.

No.4: Meredith couldn't remember her last kiss when they were HAPPY. When they kissed in the rain they weren't happy. She specifically asked about their last HAPPY kiss.

Cristina deserved that freaking award.

[SeddieWeddie]

Biggest plot hole- these doctors somehow still have jobs.

[AlmeGonzalez]

I think there’s a misunderstanding about what a plot hole actually is

[killiancoleman]

I hate how often the Meredith’s liver ‘plot hole’ is brought up when it’s not even a plot hole, the reason you can donate part of a liver is because they grow back! It’s can take about 6 months to a year but it does grow back in its entirety

[alyssapicache]

Jackson not grieving over Lexie was so confusing to me. Like yes, he was sad over Mark which was understandable, but he barely talked about Lexie’s death and just moved on ;(

[victoriahnavanderdoes]

All the chiefs of surgery make it clear they are not in charge of the entire hospital yet continuously make decisions for the entire hospital.

[CarolinaGothic]

Biggest plot hole: all of baily’s training! Somehow she’s supposed to only be 3(maybe 2?) years ahead of the OG intern crew in season one because she was in the race for chief resident a few seasons later but somehow she’s doing solo surgeries in season one!! Not to mention the flashback episodes where she’s got Giant hair and the hospital looks fundamentally different. She must have grown a lot in the 1-2 years before she got her interns!! Not to mention Torres is basically acting chief of ortho as a fourth year resident with attendings fighting over her. Somehow there was no respect for the training timeline with Baily’s class at all.

[lindseyderusha]

I will say this one thousand times, their biggest mistake was killing off George. Imagine the potential character growth!! I could see him as a hot shot trauma surgeon. Makes me so angry

[nicholeheitzenrater]

How about the fact that absolutely none of George's decisions, starting with Callie, made sense?

[Adamayepoh]

Was the lion "plothole" really necessary?

[sadnesscorrupt]

you know what triggered me the fact that Meredith didn’t let anyone else say goodbye to Derek

[chelseavelasquez]

I don’t think Meredith leaving after Derek died was a plot hole it was the lover of her life and it’s even more sad that she found out she was pregnant the day of his death she was going through it she needed some time. She was carrying the love her life’s baby and he didn’t even know. She knew she had people that would care for her but maybe she just didn’t want everyone feeling what she was feeling

[kasanlyo]

I’m rewatching the series while quarantined, and it seemed like Zola didn’t age for like 5 seasons??

[teemick]

The one that stood out to me was when Susan (Lexie's mom) says to Meredith that they always told their girls about her with the hopes that they would meet someday but Lexie tells George, I never even knew a Meredith Grey existed until a few months ago.

[keirengallagher]

Izzie leaving didn’t exactly create a plot hole ... she left everyone on a pretty bad note
