Say hello to Dr. Maggie Pierce, everybody! The new doctor walking the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital is making herself welcome. At least in some circles.
As we saw on Grey’s Anatomy Season 11 Episode 2, Maggie will have a harder time convincing Meredith to play nice than she will anyone else.
Maggie may not have had a spectacular first day at Grey Sloan, but she certainly showed how she “brings the thunder.” Thanks to her interest in genetics, and Bailey’s lab, Maggie was able to solve the mystery of what was happening to the patient with multiple heart conditions.
She brought comfort to the family in the patient’s final moments, thus showing us a little bit of her softer side.
Amelia, Bailey, and Jo see her softer side, too, and they’ve warmed up to the new doctor already. Meredith, however, remains a skeptic, despite the fact that Maggie won’t let her off the hook so easily.
Maggie understands that this reveal must be difficult for Meredith and acknowledges the fact that Meredith isn’t so bad. Probably. She can’t be, can she?
One thing still missing from this season, however, is Christina Yang. It’s going to be hard to replace her, and probably isn’t a thing which should be attempted.
What did you think? Do you think there’s a Christina-chasm in the cast? Watch Grey’s Anatomy online and then sound off in the comments!
