They say bad things happen in threes, but they also say love finds a way — although contradictory sayings, this episode proves both to be true. As a storm rages into Seattle, the hospital prepares for the worst. Meredith goes into labor as the power goes out and must have a C-section in the dark. Dr. Bailey is still coping with the fallout from her staph infection and is unable to operate out of fear. And Jackson Avery tries to save a bus full of churchgoers that has flipped over trying to get to safety from the storm.
Just when you think there's a light at the end of the tunnel, Meredith starts to bleed out postsurgery, and her last hope is Dr. Bailey, who hasn't been able to operate in weeks. And Jackson goes back into the burning bus to find an unaccounted-for little girl. The range of emotions in such a short time is enough to put you into cardiac arrest.
But love finds a way! Bailey overcomes her fears to save a person who she loves, while Jackson reunites the girl with her mother, who would have been destroyed if she lost her daughter. And we can't forget that Alex finally tells Jo that he loves her! It took him long enough!
This episode is essential to watch before season 15 because after the storm has passed, love is still there. And with the season of love coming, we need to prepare our emotional heart strings for all the feelings we are going to feel.
