‘why are you speaking to me this way’ - oh my god you could literally feel the hurt in her voice

[eviemackay]

she hit a nerve when she started talking about Derek and tbh I’m glad mer stopped her. Bailey has no right to bring up things in her past, especially things about Derek.

[noashom]

Just like Derek, Bailey never stopped seeing Meredith as the intern who fell in love with an attending, they didn't respect her for her own accomplishments and merits.
And *that* for those of you who forgot, is the reason Mer didn't move to D.C with Derek. When Cristina left in the end of season 10, she told Meredith: "He's very dreamy, but he's not the sun, you are". And after that Mer and Derek had a fight and she told him he still sees her as the intern who will follow him around, that he thinks his career is more important than hers, no matter what she does.
This is also why Meredith understands now that she has to leave, because no matter how much she accomplished, people in Grey Sloan will always see her only as the woman who went after her boss, a married man.

Bailey stooped so low here. It was incredibly unprofessional of her and I’m disappointed that she never apologised.
On a better note, before she walked in Meredith and Nick had one of their most beautiful scenes. They are so connected.

[gilliandudoward]

She always flips out when she finds out one of the surgeons is going to leave. Like damn, it's a job not a personal attack

[LIghtbyRuggie]

I agree, Bailey shouldn't have referred to her past with Derek, that was low but she's in a panic mood... so sad to watch

[AlejandraHernandez-yxpp]

The fact that Bailey says “already married” and looks at Nick made me so mad, as if she was shaming her in front of Nick to make him think less of her. Screw her, Mer doesn’t have to stay forever, Bailey always turns her back on her when things get tough without ever hearing reason.

[sophiekerst]

I love the fact that since a few seasons everyone just forgot that Mer owns the hospital lmao

[lifewithkerria]

Meredith is finally speaking up for herself!!! She was definitely heartbroken about how Bailey spoken to her that way! I love Bailey, but she was definitely wrong in this situation.

[laylasmith]

"This Hospital raised you. I raised you" so what? My mom raised me too, am I supposed to live under her roof for the rest of my life? This is an incredible job opportunity and honestly I'm surprised meredith even stayed that long. She doesn't have any obligation towards that hospital. It's a job. People change their jobs. They are all so damn unprofessional it's nerve-wracking

[papitwogaming]

Meredith is really in love with Nick, huh? To stand up for him like she did was something we never had the chance to see with Derek. Maybe because Derek was always the one who stood up for Mer then (which she never asked for). But look at how Mer grew and matured over the years. She has become stronger than ever. A person of her own. I love this version of her. So feisty. Way to go, Mer!

[fatimabarrera]

Yes, Bailey and Grey-Sloan raised her, but they don't own her!! Why does she always get this way when someone decides to leave??

[angelaborgia]

The whispered “I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know”. Scott Speedman’s acting is so natural.

[beccablueeyes]

I don’t know why as time passes, they make Bailey ruder and more selfish. She was the epitome of strength and character when the show first started. But as people left and died and her position and power went up, she morphed into someone that can be very unpleasant. Even her sense of humour has faded. People she loves dying would affect her, but from earlier with George and her mum, she protected herself, but also kept those important to her close. But the past couple seasons, it’s almost like she needs to punish those that care about her. Bailey was one of my fave characters, but for the last few years, I have just found her unlikeable. Such a shame considering she such a brilliant character.

[gillesnotard]

Meanwhile, Izzie in her farm, Alex in his schizophrenia, Cristina in Switzerland, Jackson in Boston, April in Boston : left way earlier without Bailey screaming at them about their dead husband.

[quinn]

Bailey has changed so much since becoming cheif, that power went straight to her head, and her heart 😭.

[ThatsSoKatie]

I understand both sides and some of the things Bailey said was true, but she was so damn wrong for insulting Meredith like that by mentioning Derek.

[crys]

Chandra's acting here should give her an award, just amazing!

[alleycat]

This is insane. You can’t expect someone to stay in one place forever for a job, for your coworkers. People move on, it’s natural

[jordymortier]

Mer standing up for herself and nick, so proud 👊✊ mer and nick having a beautiful moment and then bailey had to interrupt it 😤
