The pacing of season 17 was wild in every direction.

The first: Maggie Pierce got married, friends!

She seems so happy and so in love and it is all very nice.

Im not saying we need a full-on Wedding Episode … although, maybe I am saying that?

Weve been through a lot this year and we deserve all the joy we can get.

Then, in April 2021, they have the beach wedding of their dreams.

I know weve all become averse to beaches onGreys Anatomyat this point, but it is a beautiful-looking wedding.

Unfortunately, we get very little wedding content!

Give me a heart-to-heart between Maggie and Meredith theyve been through so much and can finally celebrate something together!

I know its cliche, but Maggie Pierce deserves some wedding cliches.

Or, like, just one quick convo with her dad about her late mother.

Give me something to work with here,Greys!

The wedding seems like a great party, but it was missing some emotional poignancy.

Justice for Maggie and Winston in season 18, you know?

And then theres Jo.

She officially adopts Luna!

Jo going through the adoption process as a single woman?

After an AA meeting, Richard has a heart-to-heart with Amelia because he knows this feeling all too well.

Amelia wants what she wants and she should trust that.

Meanwhile, we watch Link pure, sweet Link grow increasingly excited to build his future with Amelia.

Those two are in a very healthy place!

So Link decides to put together another proposal.

A very cute proposal!

Friends, my fellow Americans the silence is deafening.

There is just so much devastation in that one second, it is so awful.

What an awkward moment to rope a bunch of kids into!

And with that, Link and Amelia are dunzo.

A truly gutted Link knocks on Jos (new) door looking for a place to crash.

Honestly, good riddance to that pairing!

Link is kind and good and he deserves less drama and more happiness.

He deserves a fun, loving relationship.

I mean, hell probably start hooking up with Jo, so well see how that goes.

The O.R.

Board

Merediths back at work!

Its time to shake things up, remember?

Then, by April 2021, Meredith and Teddy perform a successful double-lung transplant on a long-term COVID patient.

Afterward, Meredith finally gets that clap-out she ran from when she was discharged.

Everyone is so happy!

That Meredith-Bailey hug alone!

Sorry, Bailey, the girl needed the money to adopt Luna and Tom was the only taker.

Yes, much to Baileys chagrin, Tom now has a seat on the Grey Sloan board.

So I think well be getting a visit from Tom Koracick in no time.

The most emotional moment of the episode: Watching the staff at Grey Sloan finally get their COVID-19 vaccines.

There are smiles and tears and there isjoy.

Let it sink in for a second!

We can have nice things!
