All the couples in 'Grey's Anatomy' have been through a real windmill in Season 16, and most of them barely made it.

We saw a devastating end to 'Jolex', as Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) went to be with his former love Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), leaving his wife Jo (Camilla Luddington) behind. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr) and Catherine Fox (Debbie Allen) had a series of bitter and ugly spats, and the two decided to call it quits. However as things stand, Webber's deteriorating health might just be the cause for their reunion.

Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) ended his relationship with Vic, no love lost there. The triangle that suddenly saw a surge towards the end of the season was Teddy (Kim Raver), Owen Hunt (Kevin Mckidd) and Tom Koracick (Greg Germann). Worried that the father of Amelia's child might be Owen, Teddy rushes to sleep with Tom, only to realize that she was wrong. And now she's in love with Tom, so it's uncertain whether she will ditch Owen at the altar.

But wait, what happened to our protagonist, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and her blossoming relationship with Andrew DeLuca? Well, that faced serious bumps through the season, as DeLuca was understandably hurt when she threatened to end their relationship if she didn't get to keep their medical license. And then DeLuca's bipolar disorder suddenly spiraled out of control and now he's behaving in a manic manner... and yelling at Meredith. *Sigh* Yet, she hasn't given up hope on him and believes in him.

However, there's another person eyeing up Meredith, and that's McIrish. Hayes (Richard Flood) was sent as a gift by Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) to Meredith, and it's clear that both of them have troubled pasts. As the finale is a couple of hours away, will Hayes ask Meredith out? And if he does, will she say yes? The second part is unlikely, as she still seems into DeLuca. But... you never know. It's 'Grey's Anatomy', and the medical drama plays fast and loose with our emotions.

Fans have been rooting for them to get together for a while. "And please get Dr Hayes and Meredith together. #GreysAnatomy16," a fan had tweeted.

"CORMAC HAYES IS THE MAN MEREDITH GREY REALLY DESERVES AND THOSE WHO DISAGREE CAN GO OUT AND WASH THEIR SHAME OUT OF MY TL," another fan had written.

"McWidow aka MrIrish the best medicine for her," a fan tweeted.

"Want Mcwidow & Meredith to be together...!!! They understand each other's pain so well. Have been through the same pain. Mcwidow is Mature and just what mer needs... Waiting for these 2 to be a couple," wrote another fan.

Who knows what will happen? 'Grey's Anatomy' airs on Thursdays at 9 pm.
