Today (April 9) promises to be a nerve-wracking day for 'Grey's Anatomy' fans as it's the finale for Season 16. The season is four episodes shorter than expected thanks to the coronavirus epidemic. Nevertheless, tensions are at a peak, as the doctors struggle to diagnose Richard Webber's (James Pickens Jr) illness.

Webber hasn't been acting like himself lately, as he's been suffering from hallucinations and behaving erratically. In the last episode, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and Andrew DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti) are studying and doing research on exactly what the problem is.

In the promo for the upcoming episode, Andrew DeLuca rushes to the operating table as he has figured out a solution. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) looks furious and tells him to get out. Will she listen to him? DeLuca has been right on two occasions before, but doctors have believed that his manic behavior works against him.

It seems as if Meredith is the only one who has a strong and unwavering belief in him. Considering Bailey has been shouting for his suspension in the past few episodes, it's hard to say whether she will believe him or not. And if she doesn't listen, she just might be making another mistake.



 

Fans hope that Bailey listens to DeLuca. "1. Teddy doesn't know who she wants! One minute it's Tom, next minute she's trying to marry Owen!! 2. Miranda Bailey and the rest of the team need to start listening to Deluca!! He may be crazy but he's right!" a fan tweeted.

"DeLuca is going to help solve Richard's case. He is noticing all the little details lately," tweeted another fan. Another fan wrote, "If Deluca does save Webber I bet diagnostic will be his specialty and Webber’s new purpose."

Bailey usually knows what's up but there have also been countless times where she has been wrong. So let's hope she listens to DeLuca and saves the Richard Webber we know and love. And for all we know, Meredith and DeLuca's relationship might just be saved as well. She did tell him that she still loves him and that calmed him down.

'Grey's Anatomy' airs on Thursdays at 9 pm on ABC.
