Grey’s Anatomy Recap: Meredith Says Goodbye to Her Father

“You went and got a whole new life, halfway across the world this time,” she said. “But you didn’t give a damn about the people you left behind.” Thursday’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy was an emotional one.  Catherine went under the knife for surgery when it emerged that her cancer had to be treated straight away, and Meredith weighed up whether she could say goodbye to her dying father.  Meredith was open and honest with Richard, a man who has been instrumental in her career from the get-go.  She wanted to be with him while Catherine was in surgery in the event he needed to vent, or if something didn’t quite go to plan.  However, Richard told Mer that he didn’t need her during this time and that she would be best visiting her dying father and trying to make peace with him.  Meredith wondered about whether she could actually press on and visit the man she hated, and she was in for a surprise when she did.  Thatcher was close to death. As such, he had lost lots of weight, was weak and didn’t have much will to live for longer.  He decided to quit the treatment plan because his condition was terminal, and he didn’t see much point in trying to prevent the unpreventable.  Meredith didn’t know what to say, but that was fine with Thatcher. He went on to list some of the things he did following the last time they saw each other.  Thatcher said that Lexie’s death weighed so heavily on him that he started building schools in Zimbabwe and did so until he got sick. He was also sober during that time.  That’s when Meredith realized she could not sit and allow him to talk.  “You went and got a whole new life, halfway across the world this time,” she said. “But you didn’t give a damn about the people you left behind.” That’s when we were let in on the biggest bombshell of the season: Meredith’s father did return home, but it was for Derek’s funeral. He attended, but Meredith was understandably a bit out of it following the loss of the love of her life.  What followed were emotional scenes with the father and daughter finally putting the past behind them, but it wasn’t long before Thatcher passed away.  Back at the hospital, Amelia and Koracick were given the green light by Catherine to try and cure her cancer.  Things got a little too emotional when Catherine handed Jackson her will because she was fully prepared not to survive the surgery. “I will see you when I wake up,” she promised to her husband, Richard before the surgery commenced.  Things were tense throughout the complicated procedure, especially when it emerged that the surgeons could not take out the whole tumor.  Richard said they could try doing it piece by piece and that they did. However, they could only remove 95 percent of it, confirming that there was some going to be left over.  But this was a win. Catherine could live her life normally … for now, and that was enough for her.   “I’ll operate. I’ll hug my son. Make love to my husband. Chase my Harriett,” she said. “Make mistakes. Fight about who gets to pick the movie on date night. You two have given me my life back.” What are your thoughts on how all of it played out?

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Finally Meet Up To Settle Custody Dispute!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were sighted together for the first time since their split in September 2016. The actors were photographed together in Beverly Hills on January 30, and it wasn’t an “it’s great to see you” photo. But rather a shot of the Mr. & Mrs. Smith costars meeting up for a three-hour discussion involving the custody of their six kids , according to Hollywood Life. Not very glamorous, but understandably important.  Angelina filed for divorce from Pitt after two years of marriage and a total of 12 years together.  According to  US   Weekly , “the estranged couples been locked in a bitter battle over custody of their six children: Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 12 and twins Knox and Vivienne, 10.” The photos obtained by WHO magazine this week shared the exes talking in a meeting room while accompanied by their legal representatives.  And just as we would have imagined, ” things got a bit heated between the two,” claims The Blast.  And unfortunately not in a sexual way.  Brad reportedly was “pacing back and forth outside the office, while Angelina was visibly upset.”  The site does confirm that “the tense” meeting was meant to settle out details over their custody agreement.  While the pair has a temporary agreement set in place for their children, they’re looking for a permanent solution.  For more than a year after the split, Angelina had full custody of the kids. But, in the summer of 2018, a judge ordered Brad to spend more time with his children , claiming that it would be “harmful” for them to not see their dad. In the meantime, an agreement was made for the kids, though child support was still an issue.  Angelina claimed that Brad “had paid no meaningful child support,” says Hollywood Life. In return, Brad fired back insisting he loaned her $8 million for a new home and $1.3 million for the kids. Sounds meaningful enough to me? To avoid having to go to court with their case, the pair signed their new temporary agreement in the fall of 2018.  Which stated that both parents get joint physical and legal custody of their children.  “All Brad wants is to be a present dad and co-parent with Angelina,” a source told US . And now that the Oscar winners are finally on face-to-face talking terms hopefully “that is enabling the process to move forward in a much more thoughtful and peaceful manner.” Just a little delayed, but sounds as though things may be looking up for the Jolie-Pitt clan.
