Grey’s Anatomyfans better grab their person because ABC is already teasingMeredith Grey’s farewell.
This week, the network released a tribute video in honor ofEllen Pompeo(Meredith), who’s stepping down as a series regular. The clip was a walk down memory lane because it featured old footage combined with new scenes from theemotional goodbye episode(which will air on February 23).
The clip begins with a flashback to the first season, featuring Meredith’s first visit to Seattle Grace Hospital (later renamed Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital). “This is your arena,” Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) says in a voiceover. “Today, you are the doctor.”
It goes on to show a montage of scenes set to a cover of Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars.” (The song was used multiple times throughout the show, but it was first played in the season 2 finale.)
The flashbacks also feature several fan-favorite characters, including Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey), George O’Malley (T.R. Knight),Izzie Stevens(Katherine Heigl), Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) and Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh).
In a heartbreaking voiceover, Meredith explains that her co-workers have become family. “I have a lot of memories of people,” she says. “This is the place where I fell in love. The place where I found my family. This is where I learned to be a doctor.”
“I’ve saved lives, and I’ve had my life saved,” Meredith adds. “I’ve been through broken bones and a broken home. And the death of people I love.”
影片结束时,梅勒迪斯hinting that she’s passing the torch to the newresidentscast members, including Benson Kwan (Harry Shum Jr.), Jules Millin (Adelaide Kane) and Mika Yasuda (Midori Francis). “As one chapter closes, a new one opens,” Meredith says.
It’s the end of an era.
