Grey’s Anatomy Season Finale Recap: Amelia the Runaway Bride>>>
“Love definitely has bounds. I’ve seen where it ends.”
“They say love knows no bounds. I don’t know about that. I feel like I’ve seen the bounds and pushed them a couple of times. Love definitely has bounds. I’ve seen where it ends.”
– Meredith
“She’s just so full of feelings, all the time. Why can’t she just cram them down and shut up like everybody else?”
– Meredith to Alex, about Amelia
“What was Derek? Are you telling me that you think that’s coming around again?”
Meredith: “Jo still hasn’t given you a reason?”
Alex: “I don’t need a reason. She doesn’t want to marry me. I’m done. It’s over. Maybe it’s nobody’s fault. Maybe you only get one.”
Meredith: “One what? Soul mate? Or true love? Well, then who – Izzie? Alex, Izzie wasn’t your one true love, and even she was – “
Alex: “What was Derek? Are you telling me that you think that’s coming around again?”
“She’s fine. You have no idea how many people have locked themselves in that bathroom. They’re always fine.”
– Meredith, when Maggie’s worried about Amelia
“20 more minutes and I’m ripping the door off the hinges. Amelia! Stuff your feelings in!”
Maggie: “Amelia? We’re here for you, okay? As long as it takes.”
Meredith: “20 more minutes and I’m ripping the door off the hinges. Amelia! Stuff your feelings in! What? It’s not my love day. I have things to do.”
“I’ll be there. The only one I want there is you.”
“It doesn’t matter. If they don’t want to be here, then they shouldn’t be. We don’t want them. They don’t get it and they don’t have to. I do. I’ll be there. The only one I want there is you.”
– Owen to Amelia
“I have never had one second of anything real my entire life. I want truth. I want a wife and a house and a family. Amelia and Owen’s wedding today. I want that.”
Alex: “You know, I was with Mer this morning and I was thinking, the two of us, we’ve been through hell. All kinds of drama. Crazy family stuff. We both almost died. Losing people we loved.”
Jo: “You’re not losing me.”
Alex: “The point is, we grew up. Mer and I are grown up. We got through it. And hell is behind me. It’s in my rear view mirror, and I’m not going back. I’m done. I’m not some idiot kid anymore, Jo. I’m a man, and I’m done with games. I’m done with crazy. I’m done with losing. I’m done with drama. I don’t care about your secrets and your excuses and your drama. I’ve had that.”
Jo: “Alex, if we could just – “
Alex: “I just said I don’t want to do this. I have never had one second of anything real my entire life. I want truth. I want a wife and a house and a family. Amelia and Owen’s wedding today. I want that.”
“You’re good, but nobody’s that good.”
Meredith: “I don’t want you to get too attached. I have three children, a big job.”
Riggs: “You jumped me, not that I minded. It was good. We had a good time. It was very good. I don’t know about you, but that was some of my best work. And in a car, which is not easy. But now what? Now you think what, you’re my sun or my moon and all of a sudden I think the stars shine down on only you, that you touched me and the heavens opened and I’m blinded by the angel that is you? You’re good, but nobody’s that good.”
Meredith: “I did jump you, didn’t I?”
“If it were me, I would call Derek. I don’t know, just to see if it came close to what we had.”
Meredith: “I’m responsible. He left her to me, and she left you to me.”
Owen: “I’m not a piece of property for Cristina to just hand over for safekeeping.”
Meredith: “I haven’t told her. Does she know?”
Owen: “No.”
Meredith: “Don’t you think you should call her and tell her before you do this?”
Owen: “Why would I do that?”
Meredith: “She was the love of your life. If it were me, I would call Derek. I don’t know, just to see if it came close to what we had.”
“All I have is Maggie, and Maggie is full of sunshine and candy and hope, and every time I try to tell her the world is on fire, she just hands me a marshmallow to roast.”
– Amelia as she freaks out before her wedding, to Meredith
“I am your family, Amelia. Today, I am your person.”
“You’re me before Derek. I can be here for you. I know how to do this. I can be a twisted sister for you. How do you want to play this? … Just let me know what you need. I’m here for you. I am your family, Amelia. Today, I am your person. Just tell me what you want to do.”
– Meredith
“Well, he could use some sun.”
Maggie: “What happened?”
Amelia: “Nothing happened.”
Maggie: “What’s wrong with Owen?”
Amelia: “Nothing’s wrong with Owen.”
Meredith: “Well, he could use some sun.”
“You’re probably going to see my vagina, which might be weird.”
April: “Okay, Ben, maybe go wash your hands, because I need you to give me an exam because my water just broke. You’re probably going to see my vagina, which might be weird.”
Ben: “Yeah, but you know, I’m a doctor, so it’s all good.”
“Some of us would like to have it once.”
Amelia: “What if Owen is my new drug and I’m just using him to ignore the fact that …”
Maggie: “That what?”
Amelia: “That Mer’s right, that Owen’s had the love of his life and so have I. Once it’s gone, everything else is just filler and you’ll never have that feeling again. Who gets that twice?”
Maggie: “Some of us would like to have it once.”
“I think if you get to the point where you’re going to walk down the aisle with someone, she’s earned some trust. And faith.”
“I think if you get to the point where you’re going to walk down the aisle with someone, she’s earned some trust. And faith. She’s earned the benefit of the doubt. So I’m giving it to her. She deserves that.”
– Owen to Alex
“Maybe we get 2, maybe we get 11, maybe we get 30. Isn’t that better, just to believe that?”
Meredith: “What do I know about getting married? And who am I to see we only get one great love in our life? Lots of people get two. Look at … Look at … Well, I don’t know. I can’t think of any right now, but – “
Maggie: “Richard Webber!”
Meredith: “Yes, exactly, thank you. Richard Webber. Exactly, see? Maybe we get 2, maybe we get 11, maybe we get 30. Isn’t that better, just to believe that? I mean, Owen believes it. I swear he does. And he loves you. And maybe this time is different for you. Maybe this time, you’re right.”
“I trust you.”
– Bailey to Ben, before he gives April a C-section
“I’m saying that Sofia deserves to have two happy moms. I’m saying, let’s all be happy.”
Arizona: “Listen, we did this wrong. We had a chance to do it right and we missed it.”
Callie: “Are you saying – “
Arizona: “I’m saying that Sofia deserves to have two happy moms. I’m saying, let’s all be happy.”
“Maybe there are no boundaries if we choose not to see them. Maybe love is unlimited if we’re just brave enough to decide love is limitless. Maybe there’s enough happy for everyone.”
“Love has boundaries. We know this. We knock them down, build them back up and knock them down again. But does it have to be that way? Can’t we learn? Can’t we be brave? Can’t we believe? Because maybe that’s all we need. A little courage. A little hope. A little belief. Maybe there are no boundaries if we choose not to see them. Maybe love is unlimited if we’re just brave enough to decide love is limitless. Maybe there’s enough happy for everyone.”
– Meredith

If it’s on TV — especially if it’s a procedural or superhero show — chances are Meredith watches it. She has a love for all things fiction, starting from a young age with ER and The X-Files on the small screen and the Nancy Drew books. Arrow kicked off the Arrowverse and her true passion for all things heroes. She’s enjoyed getting into the minds of serial killers since Criminal Minds, so it should be no surprise that her latest obsession is Prodigal Son.
