"because I'm older" is such a sister thing to say hahaha I love their relationship

This is exactly the reason I wanted Amelia to talk to Addy about Link. Because she would never have been this honest with Maggie or Mer.

"I heard. I prayed" Lolllll addieee

I'm really happy she gave us an update on her son and husband. Thank God Krista Vernoff didn't ruin that relationship as well.

I can see where Amelia is coming from. Some people have it in them for that kind of life and some don’t. You can’t force someone to change how they are wired, no matter how good your intentions are.

I wish she would just be this honest with link instead of leaving him to wonder. Sometimes some people require a full explanation to understand why it just won’t work.

Now this is an understandable reason. I’m glad Amelia is finally truly explaining her reasons. Aside from saying the proposal was manipulative I agree with her about everything else. However, I think her only mistake was that she hasn’t said any of this to Link other than simply no. They need to get their communication back on track.

"Some people love it, they bake bread, I don't like bread" Addison, explaining the hatred, depression and despair around other people doing boring things while you are drowning, stuck at home in a deadly pandemic, in such an "Addison-ish" way. I love her.

I love how greys touched on the darkness the pandemic made for some of us .

I love Addison and Amelia talking...they are so incredibly honest.

Addison won my heart even more when she said she prayed for Meredith. That's what I liked the most about her, her ability to get ahead and never hold back bad feelings. I still remember when she says she is proud that she fought for Love (Derek) she lost but fought for it. We don't deserve Kate Walsh, she's a great actress. P.D. It would have been great for her to meet Carina and see her son Henry😍🤩and send Jo for more coffee😂🤣

Getting married is not a golden standard of living and it surely not the only way of handling a relationship or living your life. I applaud Amelia for that. I actually think her not wanting to get married is a sign of healing and not her self sabotaging.

“I heard. I prayed.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Amelia couldn’t have put this more eloquently and Addison couldn’t have reacted and related better. Get someone in your corner who’s seen you at your worst to confide in about this stuff. And word to the wise, NEVER let anyone force you to march to the beat of a drum where you can’t find a rhythm, no matter how much you love them.

Addison returning to Greys has been a godsend. I’ve missed her and I’m so happy she’s back. Hope to see Henry and Jake make an appearance soon.

finally, the people, who have been asking why Amelia didn't want to get married, has an answer now. and it's a good answer. not that she doesn't want to is a bad one. but those, who don't understand why someone doesn't want a marriage, has a satisfying answer at least.

I respect Amelia for accepting her truth instead of settling for what everyone else would want, and doing it with the pressure of rejecting someone as perfect as Link. It must be impossible to trust your instincts and stick to your truth after being the family screw up, a drug addict, having dealt with a tumor for years and not knowing if your decisions where ever real or just a symptom.... It has been A LOT! But she knows what she wants and although I loved her with Link, I'm happy for her.

Addison will forever be the best sister Amelia has. I didn't even watch Private Practice (which i should do asap). But you didn't have to watch it to see how powerful their bond is, even in this one short scene.

Amelia’s feeling are 100% valid, she felt trapped, she felt like she couldn’t breath meanwhile her partner was thriving doing things that were killing her inside. Ofc she took a step back. And she did what’s best for herself. It would’ve been so much easier to give in and settle with this seemingly perfect life but she realized beforehand it was not what she wanted, and she was strong enough to say no.

I love Amelia, she is so strong and standing for herself while staying sober. I absolutely agree, marriage and domesticity make me physically ill.

Amelia had a kid, she went through that whole hurdle of having a kid after loosing another and she just wants to be mum to one kid and be a doctor. Link wants a village of kids. Amelia opened up that everytime she was around all the kids she was thinking of doing drugs. And we all know how much she has grown and if she knows what she wants then link has to either be content with what they have and be happy or move on and let each other find a partner that makes them happy.

I don't see a future between Link and Amelia after this conversation. Link wants the domestic bliss, but Amelia dosn't. They don't want the same thing, and neither should have to sacrifice what they want for the other one. They wouldn't be happy if they did

Completely understand Amelia and Omg Addie " I heard , I prayed " haha Love Her! I think we all needed to see how Addie was doing and understand why Amelia said no . I love this scene wish Addie didn't have to leave. They are both so relatable.

And Link said "you can't drink but I can", and that's the biggest red flag, that gaslight was enough for a lifetime of loneliness for him.

October 22, 2021 - I like that Amelia told Addison what really happened between her and Link. I also like the fact that Addison told Amelia about what she went through during the pandemic. It let Amelia know that Addison is not perfect. Amelia has always had this perception that she was. This scene brought tears to my eyes. Addison and Amelia a mini #PrivatePractice reunion💖

Amelia and Addison stole the show this episode 🥺 and my heart went out to Amelia’s reason to why she doesn’t want to get married. But the only issue is that this is the conversation she needs to have with Link. The poor guy feels so lost, and in any form of relationship (even if it’s just friendship) communication is key.

I knew Addison would be able to talk to her about Link

Ok great. So Amelia doesn’t want a life with him. It’s done now. Everything she said is perfectly valid. They’re not married and she already didn’t want a life with him so that’s that. They clearly want different things in life and shouldn’t be together. I completely support her being happy with her decision.

In four episodes they went from happily raising a kid together to a proposal to broken up and I still don't get what happened. Kinda like with Owen they were happily talking about kids and a few episodes later she was moving out

I appreciate that Grey can bring this up without shaming Amelia. Just cause your partner wants more kids and marriage does not mean that you need to want that automatically. She does love Link and she does love her son but to her love does not mean marriage.

I am so exhausted of all of Amelia’s relationships not working out or ending with someone smothering her somehow, but god, that is so real, what she felt in that house with Link and I’m glad they addressed it like this. And I hope she eventually finds someone who doesn’t want her to settle down and become domestic because she’s been pretty clear for several years now that whatever other things she might want, a life of domesticity and homemaking is not one of them. And I’m so happy we got an update on Addison and Jake and Henry! I’m so glad they didn’t break them up. Their family was so cute.

Not Addison wanting to unalive herself 😭

The comments here make me wonder if y'all really liked Amelia at some point or you only liked her when she was acting collected. She is a recovering drug addict and she's flawed just like the rest of the characters. She's gonna mess up. She's been messing up for 11 years and it's going to keep happening and she isn't a bad person for it.

these two have such a deep bond and I Iove it!

I developed an addiction to alcohol during the pandemic and went to rehab in February of 2022. This scene really hits home. I lost my shit during the pandemic and I gained 60 lbs. Im 18 months clean now, feeling better than ever.

Their relationship in Private Practice was everythinggg

The way Greys manages to talk about these issues… like it reminded me of when Meredith talked to Jo while she was going through her stuff in season 15. Greys anatomy does a really really great job with the dialogue in these dark conversations and I think it’s really important

I honestly loved, LOVED, this scene. I have watched GA an PP through the years. This moment shows just how much things can effect people and people who are seen as STRONG characters who have went to hell and back and seem stable and happy. None of us are immune to depression. Also we should not have to "fit" into social norms like what she said about domestic life. That is not something everyone wants, despite it being widely advertised as the ultimate goal. GA continues to raise the bar on issues that are happening and I hope they continue to keep it real.

Am I the only one who wants an update on Charlotte and Copper and their 4 kids ?

when amelia said that he kept proposing to her, i went back and rewatched a few episodes of season 17 and it wasn't far from the truth at all. link really did try to tie amelia down multiple times even though she kept saying no. like that one episode in season 17 where they talked about marriage, amelia kept saying she wasn't ready and link proposed to her🤨🤨 there was a few other times but the point is, amelia and link began falling apart a long time ago and in my opinion, it wouldn't be good for either of them if they ever got back together.

so the problem all along was that she didn't want domesticity? so many arguments and sadness could've been avoided with good communication. of course, talking about your feelings isn't easy but if you have a partner, it has to be done

I understand and can identify with everything said in this clip except the statement “I don’t like bread.” 😂

Some people aren't meant for 2.5 kids, a white fence, a prefect house and the supposedly perfect family/marriage and not being meant for that or not wanting that doesn't make a person wrong or broken.

Addison needs to come back as a regular or semi-regular. She brings back the old greys feeling that I’ve been missing

Why doesn’t she talk about that with Link? Amelia always manages to have communicating problems with all her relationship it’s starting to be boring

Addy is going to fix everything and everyone. They needed her. 🙂

So Jake is into model trains and somehow I'm realizing that's all I needed to know

"Amelia talks to literally everyone else *but* Link about where things went wrong with Link."

This was so needed 😭💔

Y’all are missing the point link and amelias desired life styles aren’t compatible and unless they find a compromise they’re both comfortable with or one of them miraculously changes their mind it’s not gonna work

I'm so happy she mentioned Jake and Henry.

Ohhh I love hearing Addie talk about her husband & "video game obsessed son" 😍😍😍

A public proposal done without thr consent of yout partner, catching them off guard and in a situation where saying no is difficult is manipulative and gaslighty even if not intentional. Especially when your partner has explicitly said they have zero interest in marriage. And even if some time has passed since the conversation it doesn't hurt to check in and ask them atleast what their views are before ambushing them with a proposal in someone else's wedding (which is gross in any situation). I am glad Amelia stood her ground and didn't cave in to link's incessant demand to have his way and being condescending af towards her wish of not wanting to be married. Thr constant proposing despite her saying no and it seriously affecting her addiction and link not paying heed to this is seriously very concerning. Toxic positivity is just as bad if you think about it. What he wanted was making her spiral and wanting to fall of the wagon and she doesn't have to explicitly state it. Like he should understand or try to talk to her about it. They were stuck in a house together for fucks sake

Thank you grey's, I was wondering about Jake and Henry

I’m a nurse and love my career. I could never be a stay at home wife or mom. I love working. I totally get Amelia.

She couldn't be any more clearer with her reasons! If people still don't get it, then they're helpless.

Some people baked bread. I don't like bread.. Why does this remind me suddenly of Izzie and her baking earlier in the seasons? :D

I am disappointed in the writing team when it comes to Amelia I feel like they are not being fair with this character. I've watched this show from the beginning and I've always believed in how characters grow and we have seen how much Amelia has grown and yet every time they want to end a relationship it's always kids or marriage. This is not a problem I thought she'd have with Link because during last season they talked about it and agreed not to rush things because he also had his issues with marriage because of his parents so it makes no sense that all of a sudden end of the season he is so desperate to marry her that he is willing to lose her after everything they have been through that this will be the hill he is willing to die on doesn't feel real or true to the Characters just feels like the writers were rushing to end this relationship before the start of this season so they could give her a new love interest and as they always do they will bring someone new Into Amelia's life too fast like this new Doctor Kai and make Link and her relationship feel like it didn't matter. The way she seems so over him already just feels wrong. We were made to believe that this was it for them that they would be endgame but she is behaving like it meant nothing. It's really disappointing I hope the writers do better. With everything she went through with Owen and the kids thing it's just hard to believe that she would just be this way about Link. This actually makes me sad. I hope the long distance relationship she has with the next doctor will be what she wants. I hope one day they will give Amelia the good things she deserves. I hope. As a die hard fan who will keep watching even when it makes me sad I will keep watching and I will keep hoping

I’m glad Addie and Mer talked to

YES, she mentioned Henry!!

I love it! I love them! I have miss them! ❤❤ Edited to add: As a doctor, why would Addison be stuck at home? The hospitals were overwhelmed and would have needed all doctors on deck. Love the Henry and Jake mentioned!

People in the comment section pretending that they wanted to know why Emilia didn’t want to get married… When all they’re really fishing for is a way that she can change that feeling and decide to get married. Not wanting to is not enough for them… And then when they finally get the reasons above, they say well let’s fix that and get her some therapy and then she’ll finally want to get married! Therapy is fine, I do think she needs it, but don’t make it about how you can make her have a “better attitude“ so she can marry link.It is perfectly fine not to get married, and you can be perfectly healthy and not have trauma and have that stance.

The thing that I’ve always loved the most about this scene is that it’s not just about how Amelia is talking to Addy in ways she wouldn’t talk to Mer or Maggie, but also about how vulnerable Addy is able to be with Amelia. You can see how hard it is for her to be honest about scared she was and how dark her own thoughts were during the height of the pandemic, but she knows if there’s one person in the world that will understand those thoughts the most in the world and never judge her for them it’s the woman sitting across from her

Just reminding everyone that you don't need a reason for not wanting to get married. You can just not want to.

I haven't watched GA since Dereks death, only because I tried watching later season and just couldn't get into the characters. BUT!!! I have full understanding of this scene. I feel like people forget she was mentally abused by her family. Turned the black sheep because of drugs. And even in the moment where she was trying and asking for help, her family did nothing. They didnt even want to come to her and Owens wedding. When you don't have love growing up, its hard to find it within yourself, and you just try to make other people happy. You fake it. She might have dabbled in getting married and having kids, but some where deep down it didn't feel right to her. The pandemic forced her into the situation she didn't want, but she went along because as she said, who could hurt such a nice guy. She is finally growing up and learning her boundaries.

I love how they can close switch from Sisters to professionals

fun fact: Kate & Caterina's birthdays are only 3 days apart (different year tho)

Amelia is the most complex character here. This episode, she brought Practice Practice to Greys and it’s the most mature thing they shown here on the show. STOP showing us people having hospital sex. It’s not realistic.

these surgeons are the neediest people, i swear

What season and episode is this?

That end of the Clip bring me to try..

Let's be honest Amelia is not afraid of a family life. She is afraid of commitment. This is very similar to what happened to Own. Amelia's character went through enough with her addiction, her family and Owen, so when she now has a child with a man she has fallen in love with the writers are like "nope - it's on to the next one".

Thank you, Amelia. Now I have closure...

When does Greys come back on again in Australia?.I so miss it.

I wish they would have actually shown Amelia feeling this way all last season instead of just the last few episodes, but I’m glad that this is something she’s able to actually talk to someone about without judging her. Honestly Amelia & Link were both on the same page of no wanting marriage (with her having a failed marriage & him having trauma from his parent’s divorce)so it seems silly that he’s all of a sudden offended & somehow doesn’t understand that she still feels that way. This story arc is good, but very careless writing. Anyways I’m excited to see what happens with Amelia & Kai even though I really enjoyed Amelink, but I really hope they keep Jo & Link as friends & only friends.

now we can see where Amelia is coming from... darn it , i will never be uninlove with her

I hope Addison can bring Amelia out of her darkness

#GreysAnatomy #CaterinaScorsone #KateWalsh Addison visits her ex sister in law for a medical consultation but Amelia tells her differences between her husband. Many years ago Addison helps her during Amelia`s drug abusis she tooks Oxycodon this a drug that involves very worse applacation in the brain systemic. Addison was married with Amelia`s elder brother Derek (Patrick Dempsey). For me Grey`s Anatomy is the best medical drama since the first serie "Emergency Room". Congratulations #GreysAnatomy staff for your 18th Season! I love you all of us. Your turkish friend Kadri.

I haven’t been watching closely lately but has Link said he wants her to be a stay at home mom and all domesticated? Because marriage and kids doesn’t have to = doing washing/dishes cooking constantly. They are both high flying surgeons I’m sure they could hire housekeepers etc. Or has he explicitly said that’s what he wants from her? I always felt Link was an accepting dude who wouldn’t expect her to just change who she is but maybe I’ve missed something!

Why can I not remember a thing this

Sometimes all you need is a big sister...

I kinda want Addison back full time on greys tbch.

Just wondering, why is that most women surgeons on GA don't enjoy domesticity? Derek, Burke, Owen, Link, even Mark enjoyed and embraced domesticity. On the other hand, besides Izzie and April, none of the women surgeons quite enjoyed domesticity but then again, Izzie and April were never really depicted as the star/gifted surgeons on the show.

“I hate that for you” It actually pains me to see how far the writing for this show has gone down the toilet

All I wanna say is when Addison said I went dark very dark they missed the perfect opportunity to have Amelia say “sometimes i go a A little dark and twisty but i come back” Just like Meredith said to Amelia outside the cemetery.

I understand both Amelia know what she want and that is great also Link here i believe he wants the domesticity and monotomy because he experience the inestability by dicorceparents who kinda hate each other, so he does not want that for his child. The better for them is co- parenting

Other than the addiction part I think Christina and Amelia are a lot of like... They are both addicted to their work they give us the real from it and it's so much a part of their identity that they are very happy and content without marriage... They both enjoy sex and intimacy but I think Amelia would have been fine had she never had a baby but she has a great mother! There are a lot of comparisons and the characteristics of Amelia and Christina... Anyone else? I would say they're very different the way they express emotion but they are kind of not they both use dark humor, sarcasm... Amelia probably expresses more emotion than Christina but they are similar in that way as well... I would love to hear others opinion

I'll never understand the obsession of marriage. It is more than a piece of paper, in a spiritual sense, marriage is the combining of souls, it's more than legality and taxes, I understand that. But you can still have a domestic life and love someone for the rest of your life without getting married. Why does it always have to be marriage? If anything, a marriage in the Grey's universe is like omen haha

Did she play Sara Kramer and Jessica Walters in Goosebumps?

COVID and 2020-2021 gave a new meaning to #ME TOO

I don't know how this show will end or when. But I do hope Amelia gets to return to Los Angeles and reunite with her friends over there. maybe she can rekindle her relationship with Sheldon Wallace ( a dr (psychiatrist) from private practice) Addison is such an important person to her and i would hate to see Amelia left alone after the show ends. she has already lost too much. plus Los Angeles and private practice just seem warm and nice as opposed to the cold and rainy Seattle.

Why couldn't she have told Link that instead of just letting him go with no real explanation.

So Addison, only stayed for 2 or 3 episodes after that she leaves again. if i am not mistaken. This season interns i don’t know but they not much chemistry with the old the characters or they not noticeable in this season episodes of grey’s anatomy. The new intern look all plain and boring to watch. this show is not the same when Christina, Arizona, Callie, Addison, and other main characters left. I don’t know if the show survive once’s Meredith leaves. Or maybe they continue the show but the main characters are new or they start new season give Meredith and Derek, childrens own storyline as main characters.

Addison talking about her husband and son🥺

the fact that Link couldnt see that she was hanging by a thread and focused only on what he wanted is why i am not really a fan of a the relationship. that and he really needs to learn the meaning of no

Gimme a B! Gimme an O! Gimme a U! Gimme an N! Gimme a D! Gimme an A! Gimme an R! Gimme an I! Gimme an E! Gimme an S! What does that spell? Why Amelia Shepherd is one of the greatest and most admirable characters of all time!!!!!!!

imagine amelia proposing to link

Even when you skip 5 seasons of Grey’s, you can always count on a couple breaking up because of poor communication. It’s like none of the characters have a REAL conversation about what they want long term before they say “I love you” and jump into a relationship. Just an opinion as a rewatch the series for the hundredth time.

Did Amelia just say that being with the kids and link make her want to do drugs?

❤ADDISON❤
