Will Meredith Grey die and come back to life? That one question has been at the top of many minds ever since ‘Grey's Anatomy’ returned with Season 17. The latest episode will see Meredith having a deep conversation with Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) as the two come close and touch each other. Will Meredith be swayed into that comfort zone and choose to never leave? 

Titled ‘Good as Hell’, the new episode shows the two on the beach discussing what Meredith should really do, choose to live and stay with her kids or give it all up to be whisked off into the fairy tale land where she can be at peace with the love of her live, McDreamy.

“People love you, Meredith... People need you,” Derek Shepherd tells Meredith. But she replies, “I'm tired.” Derek then warns her, “If you get closer...” She completes the sentence, “I'll never leave.” In a scene, we can see the two close to each other. Will Meredith stay with Derek or are Miranda Bailey's (Chandra Wilson) cries powerful enough to bring her back? 

“Here is when Cristina comes back and tells Meredith: He is very dreamy, but he is not the sun, you are...” and Mer wakes up, one fan commented after watching the promo. Most fans are okay with either of those sequences. There's nothing to lose, is there? “If she doesn’t die that’s great. If she does die and her and Derek ride off into the sunset together. I won’t be mad at all tbh. I always thought the last season of greys would end up her dying and being at peace with Derek.”

“After 6 years it’s amazing how much chemistry Patrick and Ellen have, I don’t think she’ll die. I think he’ll move closer to her as they say goodbye and they might even kiss. I think they’ll be about to kiss and she’ll pull away and be like ‘I can’t’ as she needs to be with the kids,” another fan said.



 

When will ‘Grey's Anatomy’ Season 17 Episode 13 air?

What do you think will happen? Will Meredith and Derek be together forever or will she return back to her kids? If she really dies, it doesn't seem like ‘Grey's Anatomy’ will survive.
